Ignorance is.....bliss???
So today rushing out the door, I had to stop to get gas this morning, usually I pay at the pump, but I stopped at the ONE place in town that doesn't have that. So I went in and thought, I don't have enough time to go grab something decent for breakfast, so I quick grabbed a Little Debbie out of the rack and proceeded to…

Fitbit or Garmin Vivo Fit w/HRM
I'm debating between the two. I really like the idea of being able to see the results and such straight from the device as opposed to having to have my phone. AND another question does the fitbit work with a HRM? Does it come with one?? that anyone's aware of. But...those that own either or both...I want to hear from you?

Weight Loss is a mental thing!
What does it take mentally to keep on track??? I know what works for me I lost 5 lbs over the summer and I felt really good. For me it's lower carb, and continuing to exercise. But gosh darn it. I know I've been like stupidly busy and unorganized lately but too many times I've caught myself saying "I'm too tired to cook"…

so help me understand
is the goal of low carb to be in ketosis? If you are higher carb and get out of ketosis then you stop losing weight? I really don't want to have to test myself for ketosis? But is that recommended? I'm not sure what I'm asking except alot of people do 50g or less a day on here as far as carbs, I'm wondering if I'm fooling…

How do you feel about "chemicals"
And maybe chemicals isn't the right word, but it's all I can think of right now. Like for example I ran the idea past my health coach, of my apples are still a good choice but I'm getting a little burnt out and they are higher on the carb count. So someone suggested jello and cool whip, like a little snack pack one to…

I need f-ing SUGAR!!!!!!!!!
It's 1:30, I'm banging my head off of my desk because I'm so tired. I have realized that in my pop I used to drink, I was not addicted to the caffiene, I was hardcore addicted to the sugar. That is what kept me going. Black tea is not cutting the mustard. Are there any other suggestions to keep me going? I've gotten up and…

Struggling to understand why
Back in high school as a cheerleader I easily lifted 80-110lb girls over my head by myself. But yet today after weightlifting at least 1x a week now upping to 2x for the last 5 months, I can only bench press a solid 55lbs on a good day. It bugs me because there are new people coming into the gym starting out they are very…

Alternative to bread
Im in search of a bread alternative that is KID FRIENDLY! They are used to me at least having tortillas for them to put pb and j on. But I'm really torn about buying another package tonight.

I've come to the conclusion....
I'm too busy for a relationship right now. Well at least the kind of relationship that people think needs to happen. It sucks to say that, becuase too many people write me off and say "you just don't want one, or you're not ready for one". Which when they say it they have a negative tone with it. What I have room for right…
