cold - when do you go back to the gym/workout?
So I've been down with a cold the last three days. Feeling pretty ok this morning, though my head's still stuffy - do I start with a calmer workout to make sure I'm all right before going back to my regular workout routine?

ate nearly half my daily calories at breakfast
oops.

What is the deal with Dr. Oz?
What is the deal with Dr. Oz? I've heard of him for a while, knew he had a tv show, thought of him as a doctor with some holistic tendencies, for some reason. Then I started getting these 'sponsored' ads on my facebook page, which say things like, "Dr Oz says lose 27 pounds in three weeks with this one trick!" or "number…

how do you build 30 day shred into your existing routine?
Do you just add it to your regular routine? Or replace parts of your routine with it? I got through level 1 day 1 last night b/c I hadn't gotten to the gym and was motivated not to come in over calories yesterday :) - but I have a hard time picturing doing it on days I do other work. No? The trainer at the gym has me set…

NSV, only 'sort of' for me :)
So I tried that flour-free banana/egg pancake recipe that's been floating around here. I'm not a fan of fluffy pancakes, so it looked delish to me. The first couple of pancakes came out without quite enough structure (could be my fault, I squeezed a quarter of a lemon's worth of juice into there since I had it leftover…

What would be the kindest Jillian Michaels workout/dvd...
I've seen a lot of posts about how Jillian Michaels workouts can kick start a weight loss, and I know there are a gazillion of them out there. I'm wondering which are the easiest to do when you're at a nearly-ZERO fitness level and very overweight. Advice?

Wow. This is one of those days
Wow. This is one of those days I am completely unmotivated to go to the gym - usually I live for these mornings. Something about waking up and seeing that the scale hasnt' moved again, even though I KNOW things are going in the right direction. and something about being annoyed with my eldest son for not doing his homework…

Not have as many calories as we think - by up to 50%??
Interesting article about continuing research into food calorie counts! http://news.yahoo.com/calorie-labels-inaccurate-experts-005253816.html

please tell me about 30 day shred
I have been reading about it and understand it's Jillian Michaels video, and there are three levels and you do each level for ten days, right? I saw a thread about a challenge group forming, and I looked and can stream this from Amazon Prime, but I want to make sure I have the format right. On Amazon, it's listed as three…

question about knees and running!!
Anyone know anything about knees and running? Have been doing c to 5k, the last 3 times I jogged my knees did this weird thing where they were kind of prone to twisting, for the day following..and kind of uncomfortable, but not really painful. The discomfort is all on the inside part of the kneecap (like, to the side of…

When I turn 41...
When I turn 41, I will weigh 100 pounds less than I do now. I will fit a size 14 easily, and maybe squeeze into a couple of 12's. I will seek out some of the friends I miss from my college and high school days, whom I avoid seeing when they're nearby because I don't want them to see me 'like this' even though I really,…

What else does your Curves have??
Our Curves doesn't have the CurveSmart program. They have challenges kind of ongoing (a few 'biggest loser' sessions a year, right now a Wii Power Bowling thing that's weekly, not sure what else since I'm still pretty new :) ) -- and there is some extra fitness equipment around. There is an abs roller, a set of those…

Who are my Curves peeps?
I started Curves a couple of weeks ago, and the Curves Weight Management Plan (loosely, anyway!) last week. Anyone with me?? I'm not planning to 'only' do Curves, but so far I'm loving that I have been able to fit in an extra couple of hours of working out and strength training here and there throughout the week...they are…

lightlife..why ALL that salt??
Maybe I'm extra sensitive about it (or to it) since we do very few processed/pre-made foods, but I did pick up some lighlife items (sausages, 'veggie crumbles' which is psuedo ground beef, etc) at a local supermarket to help me get used to my new eating plan. The fantastic thing is that they are NO fat - so that days like…

need to hide
I have GOT to get into the kitchen and hide those peanut butter crispy treats I made last night to send with the kids' school lunches...they're so delish (from Alicia Silverstone's vegan Kind Diet book), but I've already logged 2 as my breakfast and I seriously cannot afford to eat any more today! lol!! Now...how can I get…

other people cooking for you
usually I do all the cooking, but today my husband wanted to be helpful. so i gave him a recipe from my weight management plan book for breakfast. after I ate it, when I was putting it in the log, I find out that he used twice the amount of cheese, added a half Tablespoon of olive oil, and use a whole egg where I'd asked…

make me run!
I didn't do the 5k training last week b/c I had a kid home with pneumonia and at least one other kid home every day, PLUS my 70-degree-last-wee-Fri turned into snow and slushy stuff I can't run on..I barely got my Curves training in. So today it's COLD but I think it'll be clear if I get to the track in town...I have ONE…

ack! where did all the fat come from???
AWW, man! I've been starving all day and have gone out of my way to avoid snacking...so I come home and plug in the five foods I've had all day and I'm over by 9 fat grams already? egads!! Two of my food items were Kind bars..well holy crow they have a lotta fat in them. If only I'd looked before I'd eaten them!! Does…

my daughter and my why
I do want to be healthy, but it's a little hard to use that for motivation when I've been fortunate enough to run great 'numbers' (aside from the scale) all these years. but I have little kids now, and I don't want to be an embarrassment to them. my daughter was home from school the other day (K), so I took her to Curves…

General Blah
Hard to concentrate on my health when we have such rotten finances. Anyone else have an out of control electric bill this winter? We are in the smallest house and don't watch a lot of tv or other huge power sucking things, yet we've been over $500/month - our high used to be a $350 just in Jan, and under $100 most of the…

I eat so much
I got this little Curves log to keep foods eaten and such..I can't even fit everything in it. Even keeping within my calories I eat like 10 small things with lunch, or whatever. Such a grabber.

Walking Away the Pounds DVD?
My Sis gave me one of these (she apparently has a whole collection) a few months ago, but I haven't opened it up yet. Today we have a snow day here, so my 5k training plan is shot...would this dvd be a fair substitute for a snow day? Anyone use it? LA
