Copy Cat Mac Dressing
If you are anything like me, you sometimes crave fast food. I recently tried the Copy Cat Mac Recipe and it was pretty good. It was a welcome change from fast food as we made BBQ burgers at home with a large salad as our side. All fresh, all natural, all tasty :) Can't get enough McDonals but don't want to blow the calorie…

Day to Day - How are you doing?
I figured it would be nice to get a play by play going for those of us who like to pop on and just update each other on what we feel like before, during or after the workouts. I would love this to be a forum where we can encourage one another and really just let it out. Let's be real, have fun, and kick this in the butt…

Food Choices
Good morning and happy Day 1!! Part of this experience we are embarking on is making healthy choices about what we put into our bodies.

New mom - different body, why wasn't I happy before
Ok, so I am a new mom, my son is almost 4 months old now and I look at my body post-c section and I wonder to myself... what was I thinking, not loving my body BEFORE I was pregnant when all I can think about now is "man, I WISH I had that body back". Isn't it the age old adage, Hindsight is 20/20? Don't get me wrong, I am…

Hey MFP'ers, I was wondering if people had some suggestions about how to maintain evergy levels in the morning for a 6 am workout without having a meal? I don't like eating a full meal right before working out but I don't want to Bonk halfway through my routine. Any suggestions??

Nutrition - recipes, treats, etc.
Hey team, I thought this would be a good way to kind of direct our discussions that way we can better identify where we can help and motivate one another. Personally, I find it crazy difficult to stick to the meal plan given my changes in work environment every day - I am going to make a serious effort to analyze the meal…

Terry Fox Run 2011
Hey MFPers! I wanted to see how many people were coming out to the 31st annual Terry Fox Run (September 18, 2011) and where in Canada and around the world are people running? The Terry Fox Foundation is one of the few that sends most of the funds raised to actually finding a cure (85% of every dollar). The run is free to…

HELP - Dance Central QUESTION
Hey, I was wondering if anyone knew is there is a way to play multiple tracks in a row on dance central or zumba for the XBox? I love the games but hate pausing in between??? (seeing as you can't exactly do a lot of movement in between as you get caught by the camera haha)

NSV - eating out
Thought I would post a quick NSV, some background: I am an auditor and am almost always on the road at different offices within a 2 hour radius of my place. I rarely have a fridge to store mu lunches in and do not enjoy luke warm sandwiches, many of the poeple I work with eat out daily therefore I fall into the trap that…

XBox Kinnect - Dance Central not in Canada :(
Ok, So I am finally giving in and picking the Kinnect for my X-Box and I was looking at fun, fast dance games to pick up for the days when I can't get to the gym or I wake up earlier than expected and could do a 30 minute routine before showering and walking the dog (*I am one of those people who, if I wake up early and go…

Blogs
Does anyone ever read them? I try to make mine entertaining, educational etc and no one ever says bo - is it because it can't be seen? Isn't important or just not something people enjoy reading? I am not trying to be a Debbie Downer I just wondered... I enjoy writing them I just never know if people actually read them - if…

NSV - snacks
This afternoon I was bored and looking for something to do... so I went for a short walk and decided that because I am not having dinner for three hours (meaning 6 hours between meals) I should grab a bite to eat... don't we all snack when we are bored. Went into a coffee shop and oogled the baked goods - croissants,…

Just keep... running?!?!
I have a 10km run this weekend and I need a push. Last year I ran a half marathon and felt great - couldn't believe I finished a 22.1km run before my brother even got out of bed!?!?! Then I injured my ankle... No more running for me... until now! I have to admit though, I am not an avid runner, I get bored easily - after…
