It took one full year but I made it to my goal
My starting weight was 163 lbs at my heaviest. I'm 5'7" and I lost the weight slowly over a year eating at a slight calorie deficit and doing yoga and some weight training, I gave running a try and found that I did not like it. If you don't like it you won't stick with it. Find some thing you love, Ilove yoga and kettle…

yoga etiquette
I'm having issues in my gym at yoga with all the resolutioners. I think it should be mandatory to watch these videos before coming to class :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-3f4lCkcsA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZDBuvEpAWlY&list=PLfy3TrnfsIwyMI8PEa_GBLBzBfMkxCI-v&feature=c4-overview-vl…

Breakthrough
After a full year of practicing yoga today I did an arm balance with no wall to help me. Kicked up and found my balance all on my own. And I held a hand stand ( with wall support) for almost a full minute. I am getting stronger!

forward bends are my nemesis
I suffer from very tight hamstrings and glutes and calves. 2 years ago I had an injury and could not even touch my knees when bending over. I can now touch the floor so I'm getting there, I'm pretty sure yoga is the only reason I'm not on pain killers and meds. What is your yoga nemesis?

Does anyone else have an emotional attachment

I'm going to store some of the (freeze or dried) but any ideas on how o use up large amounts of herbs? What are your favorite ways to…

Sodium is sneaky
I have been diagnosed with Ménière's disease ( inner ear disorder) and there is no real treatments for it but eating a low sodium diet can help with the symptoms. Since logging my foods and watching my sodium intake I've found that that stuff hides everywhere! I knew stuff like processed sauces and dressings and soy sauce…

Come laugh at my NSV today
I teach preshool and on our walk today we got invited in to see the fire trucks at the local department. As I was lifting one of the kids upon onto the truck my skirt that used to be too tight fell down. I flashed a room full of 3 year old and hot fire fighters my panties. So hurray I'm losing inches but I can never call…

Peanut butter question
There are a lot of recipes here that call for peanut butter and its often a suggestion to people trying to up calories or protein. I'm allergic to peanuts so I have to substitute another nut butter. Any suggestions on which ones are best? Almond? Cashew? I tried the peanut free peanut butter replacements like nutter butter…
