Misfit Flash
Has anyone preordered? Any thoughts on this product you'd like to share? I've been using the Body Media Fit armband for over 3 years and am ready for something new, smaller and a bit less obvious, along with it being waterproof for swimming and bathing. However, I am a bit $ poor right now. It's less than $50 and…

Celery
What the *#&@? Celery used to be one of those cheap veggies and I have gotten into the habit of having the treat of a couple (4) stalks cut into sticks almost every night with an ounce of wonderful blue cheese dressing. I picked some up at the market yesterday and when I got to the register it was almost $7!!!! EEK! Just…

I found a great way to stop snacking!
I make yogurt. That's it. That's my secret. lol When making yogurt it can't be "jiggled, jostled, or bumped." or it won't set, and I don't fancy drinking my yogurt. I prepare a batch and set the yogurt maker on the counter and then I am loathe to even enter the kitchen for fear of spoiling the batch. If I don't go into the…

Chia Seeds
Anyone include these in their diet, regularly? I have recently discovered them and LOVE them as a gel/pudding (Pudding and cream pies were my favorite food, a daily treat, prior to my life-style change) but I'm wondering what else I can do with these things. Any suggestions? I would love to know what others do...please…

Oh, the pain! (but it's a good pain!)
I am so blessed. My ambulance squad was "gifted" with a full gym installed at our hall, yes you can all be jealous! :wink: My still super-fit Army buddy came for a visit last week and opened my eyes to the fact that I was wasting the opportunity by NOT being in that gym every chance I could. I explained that I was…

NSV today! Share yours?
I (re)started on my 'get fit' journey August 17, 2013. At that time I was wearing Women's 2XL T-shirts, as in WOMEN's sizes, which tend to run larger. Today, I was working Ski Patrol up on the local ski mountain and we were having a benefit for an injured co-worker. The rep for the SPYDER company was there raffling swag.…

Not a recipe, but an amazing Food Find!
I haven't eaten bread in over 6 months (OK...a couple cheat dinners, like my awards banquet (had a dinner roll) and a biannual trip to the fabulous rib joint (had TWO fry breads.)) But I haven't bought a loaf of bread home since the beginning of August. I was at the market tonight and found Dave's Killer Bread~Thin sliced.…

High Protein Dessert/Snack!
I find that if I eat a high protein treat at night then I sleep much better. Tonight's "treat" is: 5 ounces Part Skim Ricotta, blended with 1 Splenda a splash of Vanilla Extract 2 (out of the package of 4) Dole Dark Chocolate Strawberry Dippers. Chilling in the fridge now, but I did sneak a little taste...a total YUM!

What's for lunch/dinner today 12/31/2013?
My family tradition has always been seafood on New Year's Eve. I am on call tonight and not with my family so here's the special New Year's Eve treat I made myself for lunch later. (FYI: My lunch will probably be around 9 or 10 tonight with my crazy "Paramedic-life schedule.") 4 ounces bay scallops 6 ounces salad shrimp 3…

FREAKY THURSDAY!!!
OK...today has been an insane day for me on the ambulance. 3 calls may not seem busy, but they were ALL critical patients. The first 2 were in extremely remote areas with HEMS (helicopter/life flight) unable to fly due to weather so, the first two calls, dispatch to signing the paperwork, took approximately 12 hours. As I…

Dark Chocolate Strawberry HEAVEN!!!
I'm sure some of you already know all about this wonder I found in the frozen food section at my local WalMart today, but I just had to share for those who haven't discovered them yet (like ME, until today!) Wowza!!!!!! Pre-portioned, diet friendly, dark chocolate covered strawberries. DIET is NOT a 4-letter word to me…

Here it is just after 9am and I've already made my step goal and am half way to my calories burn goal for the day. Means extra meals/snacks today to keep on my eating something every 3 -4…
