Breakfast of Champions!
Hey all - what's your favorite breakfast for an on-the-go kind of day? What's your go-to on days when you have more time, say on weekends?

Sedentary Life - HELP!
Hi all, I've had the good fortune (cue sarcasm) of having a bulged disc, resulting in a numb leg (down to and including 3 numb toes). The pain is now tolerable, but the numbness took me from training for my first 10k to a quick halt. My doctor has tried various things, including PT and having me go completely sedentary…

The 17 Day Diet: Day 16
Another day down...only one more to go! I seem to have hit a wall with my weight loss. I haven't lost anything since last week, Thursday. I am excited that I can feel a difference and have adopted good eating habits that will last a lifetime. My lbs lost may have slowed for now, I'm convinced more will come off soon. Is…

The 17 Day Diet: Day 15
Happy Monday to you all!!! Today was a great day on the plan. I got in a good workout and ate very well. I'm not seeing a big difference in my body but I can FEEL it....and that counts for a lot! I can't believe I only have 2 more days on the first phase. It was easy to stick too even though I did run off course a couple…

The 17 Day Diet: Day 14
Welcome! Today was a good day. I had a nice visit from my brother who's stationed in NC. We also had a birthday party to attend. I resisted the cake, but opted for a 1/2 cup of the ice cream as my afternoon snack. Also, the party was at a roller rink...so I burned some calories while having a blast with everyone. Only a…

The 17 Day Diet: Day 11
Well folks, today is what we call EPIC FAIL! Well, the second half of the day anyway. No workout, went out to lunch with the girls, ended up finishing my childrens happy meal (what? he didn't want it! :cry: ). Let's just say tomorrow WILL be better! I feel guilty for not working out today, but will not beat myself up over…

The 17 Day Diet: Day 10
Hi all, Another successful day down! I managed to get more calories in today, so I feel good about that. If you tuned in yesterday, I mentioned a concern that I was taking in enough calories. Thank you to those who gave suggestions. I'm in a slim down challenge at work and tomorrow is our first weigh-in to see if there was…

The 17 Day Diet: Day 9
Wow, today was 'one of those days'! To start it off, the snowy roads were ridiculous. Got stuck in my in-laws driveway...twice! I ended up taking one of their vehicles to work. Sounds silly now, but at the time I was uber annoyed with the whole thing. I've ate well all day and am quite full after dinner. I'm struggling…

The 17 Day Diet: Day 8
Well, I slipped up on Saturday with food and haven't been on my computer in a few days....but here I am. Back on track and feeling amazing! Got in almost 3 miles on the treadmill today and ate well. Sorry I have to keep it short tonight. Running behind on time this evening. I'll write more tomorrow :-) Lori

The 17 Day Diet: Day 4
Another day bites the dust...I am rockin' this thing! I got a good workout in and ate under my calorie goal. I'm actually finding it hard to eat that many calories. I'm not at all trying to starve myself or do it on purpose but I'm so full from eating my healthy stuff that I don't want to keep eating past the point of…

The 17 Day Diet: Day 3
Day 3 is now under my belt. Its crazy how in such a short amount of time my fast food cravings have changed. I have no desire to stop on my way home to sneak some fries or something else as equally unhealthy for me. I feel like I'm in it to win it....I want that better version of me to shine through. Well, here it comes! I…

The 17 Day Diet: Day 1
Today is day one and so far so good! I don't feel hungry or tired. I don't look at this as a diet so much as I do getting my sugar/fat intake and metabolism in check. I'm excited to see what the results can be. Is anyone out there following this program? If so, what have your results been? Positive? ~Lori

The 17 Day Diet: Day 2
Well, I survived day 2. I slipped and had a Nestle Tollhouse Pan cookie at work today :( No need to sulk, I just picked myself up and ate well the rest of the day! I weighed myself this morning just for giggles and I'm down 3 pounds from yesterday. The morning cocktail didn't seem as bad today...whew! I'm really loving the…
