An epidemic
<ahem> There is an epidemic on the boards. It's a disease called "The Crazies", also referred to as "The Stupids". It is highly contagious. Just one step into certain threads and it can rub off on you. Consider yourself warned. I have already caught a mild case of "The Irrational Need to Talk Intelligently to Obviously…

Pizza Dip
We are having Italian Snack day at work today. I'm not saying this is the healthiest recipe ever, but it's my healthified version of a friend's recipe. 2 pkgs low fat cream cheese 1 jar pizza sauce (Like Ragu, usually about a 10-14 oz jar) 1 small can sliced black olives 1 package turkey pepperoni, cut up into small pieces…

A little experiment
Tomorrow we are taking the kids to the fair. We will go in the morning, stay until probably dusk. So that would be at around 10 hours, at least 2/3 of it just walking around. Wonder if I will burn many calories that way? So I decided that I am going to wear my HRM all day today, doing my normal daily activities. Then wear…

Warrior Dash - Walking vs running
I'm entered in the Dash for Saturday. Just wondered from those who have done it before, are there many that just brisk walk vs run? I have done a couple of 5K's but I brisk walk them. I don't like to run, hurts my knees and my boobs (even with a sports bra). Doesn't really matter what the answer is b/c I will most likely…

My Warrior Dash NSV
Don't be afraid to try something. I have well over 100 lbs still to lose, but I still signed up for this crazy thing. It took me an hour and 45 minutes, more than twice the time of my friends that went. But you know what? I did it. I was able to fully complete 9 of the 12 obstacles, attempted 2 others would get about…

Feeling snarky
I went to an advanced kickboxing class last night, taught by Olga (she scares me). There were a lot of buffed up guys in the class, a couple of fit looking chics, a soccer mom and me, the "fat chick". Olga comes by and asks me if I am coming back to her Sets and Reps class on Thursday. I say no, I am competing in Warrior…

My inspirational quote for today
Saw this on someone's wall on FB and had to share. I may have to print it and hang it on my wall. :) I don't believe you have to be better than everybody else. I believe you have to be better than you ever thought you could be. ~Ken Venturi~

My Open Letter to MFPeeps
I just forgot... *Warning, lots of rambling so if you are going to start this, you may be here a while* The past week or so has been full of craziness on MFP. I won't go into details b/c you either know what I mean or you don't, and I don't want this to get deleted or edited.:) But it made me think, and last night I came…

Warrior Dash - any big girls/guys doing it?
I am far from my goal, but consistently working out and my stamina and endurance is better. I signed up for Warrior Dash in September a couple months ago as a motivator. Now that I am 5 1/2 weeks out I am SCARED SH*TLESS!! Seriously, what was I thinking?!?!?!? So my question is, has anyone done this while still big? And by…

Inspiration, dedication, etc...and my dog
My husband has taken notice of my true dedication to losing weight and getting fit, for real this time. After 20+ years together, he has seen and heard me say thousands of times how I want to do it, just to fall back into bad choices and the status quo. But after months of going to the gym regularly, counting calories and…

I came up with this by mixing up some different recipes. Ingredients: 2 medium eggplants 2 TB Olive oil 1/2 cup FF ricotta cheese 3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese 1/4 cup grated…

Stuffed peppers
I love Stouffer's stuffed peppers! They have a decent calorie and fat count and they are delicious. BUT, I have decided lately that I need to watch my sodium more, so I made these over the weekend and they were AWESOME. The came out to be about a 1/3 of the sodium content in the Stouffer's version. Stuffed Bell Peppers…

Ground turkey...some new ideas plz
I have a pound of ground turkey, and I'm not afraid to use it! BUT, I need something new and creative. Give me some ideas that are NOT chili, taco meat or meatloaf. I love all those things, but trying to branch out a little. That is unless you think you have the best, most wonderful way to make chili or meatloaf, then I…

Zesty Lime Shrimp & Avocado Salad
My picky husband who HATES anything "light" or "healthy" actually said to me, I could eat this once a week! I got this from Gina's skinnytaste.com website. I truly think she has the absolute BEST healthy recipes anywhere! I actually took a soft corn tortilla and put some of this salad on it for a light soft taco. Zesty…

Need to cut sodium, got meal ideas for me???
I watched my calories, was under every day but one for the week, worked out 4 days and lost 1.5 lbs. Don't get me wrong, any time the scale goes down I am happy, but for as much as I felt I worked, and as much as I have to LOSE (over a 100 lbs for my journey), I thought it would be more. So I thought back on my week and…

Looking for good lentil soup recipe
I love the lentil soup at Carrabba's Italian grill! Found a couple of copycat recipes, but they are not health conscious. Just wondered if anyone out there had a good lentil soup recipe, possibly one for the crockpot would be good! Thanks!

5 htp
Anyone heard of this, have an opinion on it, anything? I work part time at a pharmacy and the pharmacist said he read an article about it and actually was convinced enough to give it a try. Some researcher wrote about serotonin levels in the body and how low levels can cause you to feel hunger more. The 5 htp is supposed…
