Going on a date tomorrow...what should I eat?
My husband and I are going out with another couple tomorrow night and I don't know what to get from the menu! It takes me forever to make a decision, when it comes to menu food, so I'd appreciate some help! I want to get something delicious, filling, and NOT go horribly over in calories tomorrow. In the morning I'll be…

Oooh whee, what up wit dat? What up wit dat?
I'm watching my local morning talk show and am wondering...why do so many restaurants offer an abundance of fried foods and minuscule unflavorful, healthy foods? We went to a home-style restaurant after church this past Sunday and I got a grilled shrimp salad. I had plenty of calories to get the fried seafood products, I…

Turbo Fire...Am I doing something wrong?
I started off the year, January 1st, and did one round of P90X and as of today I'm in my 14th week of Turbo Fire. I can't follow the nutrition guides like I want to because of my limited grocery budget but I do the best I can. I started off the year weighing 177 pounds, today I weighed in at 159 pounds. Anyhow I'm seeing…

Ladies Weight Loss Goals
I'm thinking my original goal weight of 130 pounds is not realistic. I originally came up with that number because in high school I was 145 and had several jiggly parts and I thought with eating right and exercising 130 would be reasonable. The pounds aren't coming off as easily now though I'm still loosing inches. I'm 31…

Grilled Pork Chops, Carrots & Apples
So yesterday some of my friends commented on the deliciousness of my dinner and asked for a recipe. I made it up, so hopefully it makes sense because it's easy and delicious! Oh yeah, it's also pretty easy, so hold on to your britches. 8 carrots, sliced in strips 2 Tbsp EVOO, divided 2 tsp salt 2 tsp paprika 1 tsp garlic…

I just don't get it
What is it that makes some more/less deserving of help and charity? I don't mean "waiting for a handout" or anything. Not even that ones who receive charity don't deserve it, far from it. I mean it's just not right that equally deserving individuals don't get...anything. You know what I mean?

Beachbody fanatics...what do you burn?
What workout do you do and what is you average calorie burn? I did P90X, at the beginning of the year, and averaged 350-600, depending on the routine and how hard I pushed. I'm currently doing Turbo Fire and average 450-1000, depending on the routine and how hard I push. Bring it! Decide. Commit. Succeed.

Zig zagging & "extra calories"
I'm about to start week 6 of Turbo Fire & I started zig zagging a week ago (1350-1550). This week the low cal days were really tough and today, with the workout I did, I've got a lot left to eat and I'm just not very hungry.

Extreme Couponing
I started watching this show on TLC several weeks ago. A few observations I've made while watching the show are there are: - a lot of health/beauty and laundry/cleaning items - a lot of non-perishables - of the non-perishables I see a lot of high-fat, high-sugar, high-sodium, processed (bad-for-you) foods - I do not see a…

Temptation looming around the corner
I did my Turbo Fire workout this morning but t it was Stretch 40 and I didn't burn a lot (feel free to take a look at my diary). I'll be working on a woman's retreat later on this morning and will be doing so until late this evening. I'll be moving around a lot but not enough during a specific time to wear my HRM. I don't…

You've got to be kidding me!
I started this change, getting healthy and exercising at the first of the year. I finished one round of P90X and a few weeks ago started Turbo Fire. Other than: a few weeks ago at my cousins memorial service and this past Thursday night, when I went out with with a friend and didn't record everything. Last time I weighed…

So yesterday evening I was so stinkin' tired. It was 9ish and we were enjoying our NBC Thursday night laugh fest and I was dozing off! Today I was tired and even though I've been my three meals plus snacks, I'm still tired and never quite feel satisfied. Last week I got Turbo Fire and I've burned A LOT while doing it. I…

P90X Turbo Fire Hybrid?
I just finished P90X and will be starting Turbo Fire as soon as it gets here. I've heard several MFP people doing a hybrid of these two programs. I'm very interested in doing this when I'm done with Turbo Fire. What exactly is the hybrid of those programs?

Still Hungry?!
I completed my food journal, it's 10:20, and I'll still hungry. I need to stay up to get some stuff done and need to have something.

Hmm, which BeachBody series should I get?
I'm on day 73 of P90X and thought I'd just do another round but I think I need a bit of a change. I get up pretty early to make sure I've got time to exercise so time isn't a huge issue. However, if I could get super fantastic excellent results I could deal with a shorter workout; defiantly not longer! I'm thinking about…
