I put it all back on. (Vent/Rant)
185. This sucks. I took so much off this past week and a half since starting back on MFP. I put it all back on this week. I am so frustrated and discouraged. I knew I was going off the rails a few days here and there, so I need to have more accountability. I need to stop eating like a moron. I need to exercise more. I…

Stress Eating at Work
OK, so my co-worker brings gobs of chocolate for us to stress eat. I just can't. Is there anything that you guys take to work with you to munch on? Let's face it. I can't be the only one stress eating. PS: If this is the wrong board for this, let me know. :-)

C25K Calories Burned
I did day one of C25K today. I am sweating like I have never sweat before. Sweat is just pouring off me. My calves are tight, and I'm tired. WHY does MFP only say I burned 115 calories? I put in 15 mins walking and 5 minutes running. This seems low. At one point my HR was 175 for about 2 minutes. My average HR was in the…

Friggin Splenda
Found out Splenda packets have 4 calories per packet (not the ZERO as labeled) and sugar has 15 calories per packet. I say "screw this. i'm going back to sugar in my coffee." I really only tolerate the taste anyway. I MUCH perfer the non-chemical-y taste of sugar. I use 2 or 3 packets of sugar giving me 30 to 45 calories…

Reheated leftovers
So...last night I had the most awesome vegetarian lasagna roll ups EVER. Tonight, I reheated them. They became the most horrible vegetarian lasagna roll ups EVER. Some foods are better left over. Some foods are just awful left over. What foods have you come across that are just HORRIBLE when you reheat them?

funeral
So I have a funeral for a relative of my boyfriend who I have never met to go to on Thursday. I haven't been to a funeral since my adolescence. What do I wear? I welcome any sugesstions...preferably in link or pic form... Keep in mind I am in Florida and it is HOT and HUMID. I was thinking something like…

Squats NSV
OK, so I have a bad knee, so I keep telling myself "it hurts". There really are times when the knee does hurt...I tweak it sometimes....darned horrible old injury...dislocated it at age 16...not enough for surgery, but there was a tear and a small chip in the knee cap. So "it hurts" I tell myself. "I can't do squats" I…

Deleted Friend.
So, I deleted a "friend" today. it was one of those random friend requests out of nowhere. I figured why not just add him, knowing, deep down this was either gonig to be hillarious or a train wreck. Yep. Train wreck. Sorry folks, but I don't need you preaching on my feed on a fitness web site. If I want to find "god", I'll…

Coconut Oil
So a co-worker has been telling me about the magic that is coconut oil. Does anyone have any good recipes you make using coconut oil? I've found a smattering of recipes online, but I'd like to hear from you guys/gals on what you like/make. Thanks!

Restaurant Cals vs Home Cals
I was looking at this http://www.sparkpeople.com/blog/blog.asp?post=what_does_300_calories_look_like earlier. To me, it looks like restaurants prepare their foods differently somehow, given the difference in what a home made omlet/veggie burger versus a restaurant omlet/veggie burger look like. What in the world is the…

Steampunk
So I'm going to a steampunk event next month (hopefully, I haven't told my b/f we're going yet. lol) I thought I'd make a Steampunk Fashion thread. Post pics of you in steampunk/random steampunk outfits you REALLY like/etc. I'll start with a steampunk kitty I found!

A Year In Jeans
I wanted to post a NSV. I'm a year in, and I'm sick and tired of counting calories, still struggling with even getting motivated to exercise, feeling like I'm depriving myself of fun (and by fun I mean drinks with my peeps and food being the center of gatherings with said peeps), still seeing the fat girl I am and so on.…

Don't Know What to Do with Greek Yogurt
I got some plain Greek yogurt for a recipe and had a whole lot left over. I went looking for things to do with it. I knew I could use it as a substitute for sour cream, and it *was* good in the tacos I had the other night. I wanted a snack, and I went searching for what to do. I found this web site, and I thought I'd share…

Trying to be good/drinking with my peepsH
I'm trying to be good today, because I want to go drinking with my peeps tonight. From what I hear the place we're going serves beer and wings and not much else. I figured if I wanted to eat 6 wings and drink 2 beers, I'd be at around 600 calories for the excursion. SO I had a salad and some steamed asparagus for lunch. I…

I wrestled appliances and...
I wrestled appliances today, and now my calorie counts are all WRONG, WRONG, WRONG, WRONG. MFP does not have "Team Lifting a Washer and Dryer Up Stairs" listed under cardio. Whatever shall I do? How shall I log this "exercise". I mean, I WANT to eat back the calories. I'm SO hungry. :sad:

Sour Cream Anyone?
So I asked my friend to bring over some sour cream, since I was out and the sauce for the shrimp tacos called for it. She brought the industrial sized one they sell at Sam's Club. I don't want it to go to waste, but there's only one of me. SOOOOOOOOOO... You guys have any good recipes featuring sour cream? Thaks in…

Rice and Unitaskers in the Kitchen
So, I hate unitaskers in the kitchen...you know, those gadgets that only do one thing (like the toaster...don't own one). Well, i LOVE me some rice...don't like boil in the bag and I have lost the knack for cooking it on the stove (it's an art, not a science). Sooooo.... Who knows of a good and inexpensive rice cooker. I'm…

I feel stupid.
I feel absolutely stupid and ridiculous swinging my arms around, bending over with my butt in the air, kicking my legs and all the rest of the movements these cardio videos have you do. I just can't. I just can't get over how ridiculous I look in my mind's eye. It's actually prevented me from finishing this video I tried…

NSVs
This past two days I have had two NSVs. I thought I'd share. Last night, I tried on a pair of jeans I haven't been able to button/zip in two months. They zip and button, but leave a horrible muffin top and the pockets gape. Still...they button/zip. Today, my co-worker asked me "Did you buy new scrubs that are too big for…

General Whine and Fishing for Support--Scale Related
Ugh. I am stuck at 178-ish. My scale hates me. It says 178 then 179 then 181 then "you aren't doing this right". Yeah, I'm not sure what kind of mojo is in the digital readout that can make it read so many characters. There is only room for 4 numbers. Ah well, Who cares about the possessed scale. Maybe one day it will read…

NSV and a scale one, too
I stepped on the scale today, and I hit a mini goal. I'm at 180 now! Woo Hoo! I said I'd buy some new clothes, like, full on shopping trip with the girls when I got under 180;. OK, so that needs to be budgeted into the next check, but here's why I posted today: READY??? I decided to make a skirt today out of some scrap…
