The one thing I really want to do this year
I want to be able to do the monkey bars with my daughter. It is her favorite playground activity, and I am too heavy and too lacking in upper body strength to do them. I used to love them as a kid.

After the flu
I have been sick since Tuesday, unable to eat or drink much of anything. I managed several Popsicles, and yesterday I choked down a very ill advised bowl of ramen (it was the only thing I could eat that was both easy to make, and easy to swallow). Anywho I am starting to feel little bit better today, and I think I will be…

Blenders
What do you guys have? My dad has a Ninja, he likes is but I find it doesn't create as smooth a texture I would like for such an expensive blender. Has anyone tried the new Ninja that is supposed to replace a juicer? What about a Vitamix? What are the chances anyone has used both? Lol, that would be useful. I had a cheap…

Have you seen this 7 day plan?
http://lifecheating.com/2014/02/02/how-to-lose-10-lbs-in-7-days/ This is one version of it. They are all basically the same, with a tweak or two here and there. I'm not going to do it, I'm just curious about your thoughts, simply because I have seen so many variations in so many places. The soup reminds me of the "cat…

Goals
What is one goal you have that isn't about the scale, or the mirror? For me, I want to be able to do the monkey bars at the playground with my kids. It is my daughters favorite thing, and I would like to be able to share it with her while she is stills young enough to care.

I am walking.
I haven't eaten yet today, but I am walking, because if I go home and eat right now, I will eat all the leftover Easter candy and anything else I can get my hands on. I am sure I have some mild undiagnosed form of depression, that I don't bother getting treated for, because like I said it is mild. After dealing with my…

Green Coffee (NOT talking about supplements here!)
I bought green coffee beans so I could make a clone of the Starbucks Refreshers, and now I cannot find the calorie content of actual green coffee anywhere! Stupid diet craze has flooded the internet with information about supplements! Anyone know where I can find the info? I got them from Whole Foods Market, and the bag…

I just got back from my C25K, and I am exhausted! Its the middle of the day, I have laundry, dishes, homework and kids to take care of still today! Today is W3D2, is there something in particular you eat to keep you going, or is this something my body just has to get used to?

Starburst Refereshers
What do you think? It has stevia as a sugar substitute, which I like. Green coffee bean is supposed to be good too, isn't it? I think they are yummy, and much better than my previous obsession, mocha frappachinos! That is supposed to say Starbucks...Oops!

Time to buy a new scale
Any suggestions? I want something digital. I don't have a ton of money to spend on a scale, but I'm willing to spend a bit more if its worth it. Mine is kinda old, and the one at the Y is one of those old double bar scales you used to see at Dr.s offices. It weighed me at 177-174 today, that's just not accurate enough for…

Peach Pops!!!
I made some yummy frozen peach yogurt pops today. Just two peeled sliced peaches and a half a cup of plain Greek yogurt. Put into some Popsicle mold of some sort, and freeze. I can wait for breakfast! I tried to add it to the database, but since there are only two ingredients, I cant :( Still, YUMMY!! I have small Popsicle…

Busy mom looking for an easy protein fix
For both me and the little people. Sometimes we are running almost up to bedtime, and I just dont have time to cook something (and I REALLY hate giving them chicken nuggets!) I usually end up giving them some whole grain goldfish and a fruit and/or veggie, but there is a serious lack of protein in there that really bugs…

Whats the best way to track this??
My dad has this amazing recipe for hot meat. Its small strips of top round soaked overnight in peppers, onions, soy sauce, and other acidic things that cook it without heat. The thing is, you don't eat any of the sauce or veggies or any thing, the only of the sauce you actually eat is whats soaked into the meat. What to…

Weights
I have been doing weights on the machines at the Y, and I am finding that my weights are getting to light. I dont want to build muscle, I want lean muscle, and Im trying not to put on to much muscle weight. So, my question is, should I just increase sets until I cant lift anymore, or should I increase my weights a bit, or…

Veggie Dip for a kids party
My baby boy is going to be one on Monday and his party is on Sunday (*sigh* bittersweet...) So my family ALWAYS has veggie trays with ranch dip, and while its AMAZING, its full of calories and fat., Im looking for healthier alternatives that will be agreeable for the kiddos. TIA

Logging local resturants
There are a lot of small local restaurants in my area, and being on the go so much, we eat at them quite often. As a matter of fact, in the last week or two, I haven't logged hardly at all because we have been out so much, and I just didn't know how to log the food. Its frustrating, because I always try to choose the…

Valentines Day Disaster
We had such a good day. I didnt track, because it was a special day, and I was gone all day, but we went to the zoo, we didnt eat any junk while we were there, had a good breakfast, and lunch, and did a lot of walking. When my mom got off of work and took the kids we did a movie and dinner. Went to Applebees, I ate off of…
