Cutting out caffeine...
Anybody done it? I'm on day 3. I've always been a diet coke fan, but was on a trip and suddenly decided I was going to try and go caffeine free.

Determining body frame size..
So hubby and I were discussing what body frame size I would be... he says medium, but I've always been told small because of my wrist size. He's like no you just have tiny wrists, no argument there lol. So of course I google it... found two options. One uses wrist size and the other uses elbow breadth (which is supposed to…

Spinach stuffed portobellas
Found this recipe and thought it looked interesting.. plugged it in and it'll end up somewhere around 200 calories. http://ketchuptochutney.wordpress.com/2011/07/13/spinach-stuffed-portobellas/ I love Foodgawker.com, they even have sections for gluten free and vegan.

Anybody else get CSA goods?
I just made my payment for my first ever CSA (community supported agriculture) season and I'm excited to pick up my first box of goods this Thursday! I can't wait to see what I get! I figure this is a great way to get locally grown healthy foods. Anyone else doing CSA or done CSA in past? How did it work for you? I got a…

****This does not include whatever topping you decide to put on it.***** So I did some looking online and most of the cupcakes I found were 300+ calories and 10+ grams of fat!! If you wanna give yourself a treat. I'm mostly a cake person who doesn't like regular frosting (yeah I'm weird) so I can eat them plain. I made…

HELP! Medical: brown spot?!
So this morning I woke up and noticed that I had a small tiny lump in my mouth on the inside of my right cheek. So when I got up to shower I checked it in the mirror... and it's brown!? It's not big but it's not mouth colored!! Not painful... just kinda appeared. Needless to say I'm totally freaked out at this point. I'm…

Teryaki
I usually do this with chicken or steak (but assume you could do it with just about anything).. never portioned it out until tonight but it's very tasty! This is for one serving, but can easily just double (triple.. whatever) to however much you needed: 3 oz sirloin steak stir fry strips 3 teaspoons brown sugar 1 tbsp…

Protein powder and recommended protein amount?
So MFP recommends that I get about 49g of protein a day. I've started running and I'm having trouble meeting the calorie intake by the end of the day most of the time. I run pretty late and don't want to eat another meal that late so instead I thought I'd just add a protein shake... get protein plus some extra calories…
