Anyone want to help me choose my menu choice? :)
So, it's Friday, and in Wisconsin that means Fish Fry!! So here's the menu of a new place I'm going with my family tonight. http://www.cornerstonesportspub.com/uploads/Fish_Fry_Menu.pdf My plan is to go with the baked cod and choose potato pancakes (I'll only eat one of them) and skip the rye bread and coleslaw. I might…

A very cool website
Hey everyone, I just wanted to share an awesome website I came across. It's called Appetite for Health (www.appforhealth.com). It is run by two registered dietitians and has great advice for healthy eating and weight loss. I have just started browsing through it and had to share, because there is some great information!

sick of life getting in the way: a rant
I seriously can't take it anymore. Once the holidays were over I thought "oh this is finally it! No more road blocks, smooth sailing until summer!" But I was so wrong. First of all, I'm in college, and drinking is just a part of what I do on the weekends. Sure, I could just not drink, but it's so much easier said than…

Okay, who wants to pick my dinner for me?
I'm going out to dinner with a friend tonight and we're trying a seafood place that neither of us have been to before. Any advice on what would be the healthiest option? I was thinking about getting the Cedar Plank Salmon and asking for double veggies instead of rice. Does anyone else have a different opinion? Eating out…

Dessert Hummus
Hey everyone I just had to share an exciting discovery I found at my local grocery store! It's called dessert hummus and it's SO GOOD! It's basically the same nutritional stats as regular hummus but comes in flavors like chocolate, maple walnut, caramel apple, peanut butter, and a couple of others. The company who makes it…

Stupid Subway!
ARrrrrrhhghghghhh!!! ALL day I had been planning to get Subway for dinner, and I haven't had it in awhile, so I was pretty excited. Well I wasn't watching her make it after I asked for "just a little bit of yellow mustard" and when I sit down to eat it(on the other side of campus from Subway), I open my sub and it's…

Oh Nuts
Oh can of mixed nuts, I thought I could open you and nibble at you while I did homework and stop myself from eating too much... but here I am.... 1700 CALORIES OF NUTS LATER. Ugh! Stupid nuts. I'm never getting a can of them again!!

Can't get out of this rut!
Where to start?! So first of all, I haven't actually LOST weight in the past like, four months. I just keep maintaining! I'll do really well for a few days and then totally get off track, then feel guilty and eat more, then finally get on track, and then it just starts over! I literally feel like I'm always just trying to…

Tips on how to handle the rest of the month?
Wow, December is basically one big unhealthy-food-fest for me! (As it is for a lot of people) I've already had my share of St. Nick's candy (oops) and there are so many hurdles in my way!!! 1. My 21st birthday is Tuesday... no explanation necessary there lol! I'm sure celebration of that will go beyond Tuesday as well...…

Stress vent... trying to stop a sugar binge...
I am hoping that by venting I will be able to stop myself from eating a bunch of candy... I have this HUGE exam tomorrow and I know I'm going to be up ridiculously late studying and ALL I want is to eat a bag of maple nut goodies!!!! I just know how guilty I will feel afterwards if I do eat a bag of them!! (Especially…

Halloween Fail.
Well, so much for being healthy this weekend. The combination of partying, Funfetti mix being on sale (yeah I'm a sucker), candy, going out to eat, and football has done me in! Ahh! How's everyone else doing this weekend? :blushing:

Just stating to everyone that I WILL get back on the wagon n
Okay it is TIME to get back on the wagon and stop giving in to temptation, so I'm publicly announcing my promise! :laugh: I definitely did not need the WHOLE PINT of peanut butter cup ice cream tonight.... or the two doughnuts last night... or the cookies the night before that.... ahh! The past few days have just spiraled…

A complaint post
Ugh. Does anyone ever have those days... or weeks... where you just think there's no way you can do this? I spent the whole week fighting off cravings and finally today I gave in and binged and went... well... many many calories over. It's so frustrating. I just want to eat what I want!! Every other college student is just…

Question about my running plan
Hey guys I was just wondering if anyone could give me some feedback on the workouts I'm doing now, and whether or not they are adequate... I want to run my first full marathon next spring, so I'll start my "official" training for that in January/February. My question is, what should I be doing now? With school, it is so…

Recommittment
So, I was hoping to reach my goal weight by the end of the summer. Did that happen? NOPE. I'm pretty angry at myself that I turned so un-motivated this summer. I did well at first, but finally fell into the trap of eating ice cream daily (I work at an ice cream place) and not exercising as hardcore as I should have. At one…
-
Awkward question...
Okay this is probably a little gross/TMI, but I'm just wondering what I should do.... today I ate all of my planned calories and went for a run. However, I think I didn't let my food digest completely before my run and let's just say I had to stop early due to... well... "the runs." (I know, gross, I'm sorry.) So I guess…

I can't wait until summer is over...
I know that's not what most people think :laugh: , but working at an ice cream shop is driving me CRAZY! I'm starting to lose my motivation and am eating more and more ice cream every day... it's disgusting but I can't stop myself. Ugh. Three weeks left!!

Need a serious kick in the butt
I feel like I only post when I need someone to kick me in the butt, but it really helps! I'm just mad at myself, because I was doing SO WELL, but now for two weeks I have been slipping. It's almost like I'm purposely sabotaging my hard work. I have already gained back a couple pounds and while I'm freaked out and know I…

GRRR
Okay, I'm not trying to complain, this is more just a rant to myself to get myself back on track. I haven't gained any weight back but I've been at the same weight for like three weeks now, all because of my bad choices!! I was FINALLY back on track and then tonight, when I had TONS of calories saved for a few drinks and a…

Stir Crazy
So tomorrow night I am going out to eat at the restaurant Stir Crazy. They don't provide their nutritional information, but I want to get the healthiest option I can! Apparently you pick the different components of your stir fry and they mix it up for you! So if anyone has some insight, I was wondering what the best choice…

Help... I work at an ice cream shop.... :\
Okay, so my summer job is working at a local ice cream/custard shop. It's great and all, except we get FREE ICE CREAM during our shift! As much as we want! I have worked there for four summers now, and every summer I end up giving in to temptation and eating... well... a few bowls and then some every time I work!! This…

I ran my first half marathon!!
I did it!!! My first half marathon!! I have been training all semester and it was this morning!! My goal was to finish in under 2:30 and I finished in 2:16:02!!!!! Sorry for all the exclamation points but I just can't believe I actually did it! :smile:

Why did I just do that?!
I must be losing it. I just ordered a pair of $50 jeans for "motivation"!!! What if I never fit into them? What if I just wasted my money? Gah!!! I'm sorry this post is so random, but I'm not sure what I was thinking....:ohwell:

Blah!
It's finals week, and I'm TRYING not to eat through the stress of non-stop studying, but I can't stop thinking about all the things I would love to shove in my face, like a whole bag of M&Ms or donuts or something! I tried to get healthy snacks, and I've been doing okay so far, but I know I'm going to go over my calories.…

Vitatops= Amazing!!
Okay, so I was really skeptical about Vitatops because they seemed too good to be true! But finally my curiosity got the best of me and I ordered a pack of chocolate ones and they came in the mail today... OMG DELICIOUS!!! :love: :love: :love: Seriously after I tried one I felt like I had eaten something WAY more than 100…

Things I Never Thought Would Happen
I've never really written a post or anything about success thus far, but lately I have just been amazed at all the things that have happened through my journey so far. It seems like for a long time I was just waiting for the day I would magically be thin and it seemed so hard to be patient! I'm not to my goal weight yet,…

Half marathon training frustration
Hey all, I'm really frustrated right now. I'm training to run my first half marathon, and it's coming up in about six weeks! I've been doing great with my training schedule.... until today. I was supposed to do a tempo run, with a mile warm up, 4 miles tempo, and a mile cool down... and I totally and completely failed. I…

The Worst Day Ever
Okay, so breakfast was great. Then lunch came, and I think I ate like, three pounds worth of food. I'm in the marching band at my school and whenever we go out on concerts, we get fed! I told myself I would take all the healthy choices but then I get there, and it's an amazing potluck with so many delicious foods and…

I AM MAJORLY CRAVING CAKE. I'm making this post to stop myself before I eat any. NO cake!! Okay, It feels good to throw that out there lol!
