What staples do you always keep in your pantry?

Is anybody in a "mid-life" crisis.
I am, in a way. I'm trying to get back in the work force after being a SAHM for the last 11 plus years.

Were's the muscle?
I know you burn more calories, gain strength and tone up when you build muscle. But how long does it take to build a pound of muscle? I'm strength training three times a week and doing cardio at least five times a week. When can I expect to notice the difference?

All my life I have read success stories about people who worked hard and got the weight off.

Heavy yard work should count for what?
I was busting serious butt this morning. Raking up hay in the goat yard and dumping it in the burn pile took about an hour. And then downing some trees with the chainsaw and hauling the wood for another hour. Running that chainsaw had me huffing and puffing and sweating bullets for at least twenty minutes of that hour.
