Veggie/Meatloaf
This is one of my favorite things to make. I make the mixture and either bake it off as a loaf or make individual meatballs. I prefer to make them into meatballs, and then I have a versatile lunch/dinner. I eat it with my fat free mashed potatoes or serve it with spaghetti sauce and salad. Both are super tasty and the kids…

The past four weeks I thought were going to be a challenge, but instead it was a breeze and sooooo much fun! And I even lost two pounds!

Hot Weather HELP!!!
Ok, I love to jog and hike. However, it has been in the 100's here and there is no end in site! I went this morning and came back looking a like a drown rat, I was soooooo sweaty!:noway: What do I do instead? I don't have a pool accessable to do laps, which would be the best option. Also the fires in California combined…

Off Days?
Ok, I have this question..... There are some days that I can run forever and not get out of breath. Other days I can only run 15 mins then take a break. Why is that? Today I went for my run and I was completely off. I pushed myself to get thru it but it was tough. Then when I got home to do my crunches, I couldn't even do…

All my fellow Californians.....
Just wondering how everone was doing with all the fires. I have been running and hiking, the smoke is pretty bad, but not bad enough to stop me from getting out there.:smokin: I went for a hike with my son on the ridge (we live in the Bay Area), and usually you can see our entire valley and it's quite beautiful. However we…

What do I do?
Ok, it's 10:45 and I am off to bed.... Just finished logging in my food and realized that I am at 971 calories. I did a bit of physical work today and logged that so I am under by over 400 calories. Do I eat now before bed? Or just go to sleep and eat a bigger breakfast before my run?

Fat Mom/Skinny Mom
My birthday was Sunday. So I shared it with Fathers day, which was totally fine. I planned a "hike" with the kids dad, his roommate, and another family. I knew it wasn't going to be a very intense work out, so I decided to get up early and go for a run. We had a nice walk to this place called Little Yosimite. It has huge…

As I am sitting here, listening to some great tunes, drinking a LIGHT beer (hey, I earn over 800 extra calories today!), talking to all MFP's I suddenly realized that I have turned into one of those people who party with their online friends instead of go out. Hahaha! OMG! I am now a total dork! But who cares! I love it!…

Steel Cut Oatmeal
Ok, ok.... I just tried steel cut oats for the first time, I usually eat regular oat (not instant or quick). So I read the directions. Follow them to a T.

Family Health
Our family health has been a process in our house. I used to keep junk in the house for the kids on the thought "why deprive them?". But then it donned on me. Why give them crap and set up bad habbits for them? Don't get me wrong, they are not weird granola eating kids, but they are very healthy eaters. And even with all…
