Found a really neat place
called SNAP kitchen. Everything is organic and prepared for you, you just have to heat it up. Its all portioned and seasoned too, and has full nutrional information on the label. Today, I'm trying the Greek Salad with shrimp (all 180 calories in a huge container) and its delightful. I just wish they weren't so far from my…

HELP
I have misplaced my motivation. This is what I always do....have some success then throw it all away. I am trying really hard to push through it, but the will power is not coming back as fast as I want it to. Any suggestions?

Monkeys
Last night, we were watching Discovery Channel - the Human Planet. They focused on a tribe in Brazil, somewhere in the rain forest, that worships monkeys and treats them as part of the family. Apparently, its not uncommon for the women in the tribe to adopt orphaned monkey babies and breastfeed them. Yep. Humans…

New Goal and 50 days to get there
This morning, I booked a vacation to go white water rafting. I leave July 10. That's 50 days. Guess I can't drop 50lbs by then,huh? :) I've set my goal at 20 lbs. I know I can do that!

NSV for me - my first!
Today, I am wearing pants that I havent' been able to fit into for about 8 months. I love them and actually did a happy dance when they zipped up and didn't look like sausage casing!!

Can we just erase this weekend?
I have fallen off the healthy eating wagon this weekend. Couple that with sitting in a gym for 8 hours yesterday during my son's tournament and you can bet I fill gross. On the plus side, before I started this lifestyle change, I wouldn't have thought twice about how much I ate and sat on my butt during a weekend. Now I'm…

new scale
I finally bought a new digital scale yesterday and ditched my 15 year old one. Oh. My. Gosh. what a difference! I no longer have to guess my weight AND it is so accurate that it showed a loss when I weighed clothed - v - unclothed! Its much closer to the scale in my dr's office and that is a GOOD thing! Oh, and the pants I…

Walmart
Maybe braving the Walmart frontier should be an exercise group. I mean, every time I go there, I end up walking in circles because they keep moving things. Or maybe the calorie burn comes from sprinting to the car to avoid the crazies there?

Shrinking
I wasn't sure where to post this, so here it is. In high school, I always measured at about 5'7.5. I was not the tallest girl, but was certainly taller than most. Today, my students were doing the Fitness Gram so I had one of the coach's measure me and it said I was 5'6. How is that possible?? I'm only 44 and don't have…

bicycle
I want to buy an inexpensive bike, but have no clue what to look for. Do I want a mountain bike or a cruiser? Do they still make banana seats? Any advice?

When do I stop being afraid?
I'm not sure where to post this, but this seems like the best place. This is a bit of a long rant...sorry. I've been divorced for 5 years now. In the first 2 years, I lost 45lbs. I started dating and enjoying my social life. Then my mom had a debilitating stroke, the dating dried up, my ex got remarried and my father died.…

Allergic to tree nuts
Can anyone suggest a high protein snack that 1. doesn't contain tree nuts and 2. can be kept in my desk drawer? I can eat peanuts, but they have so many calories in them, that I'm trying to avoid them.

I'm sick and need to whine...
:sad: I'm sure one of my germy students breathed their funk on me last week.

Any Texans out there?
I live in Round Rock - about 20 miles north of Austin. Just moved here last June from Houston and I LOVE IT! If anyone else lives out this way, I'd love to have a fitness friend to walk some of the great parks and trails Austin has to offer - besides Mt. Bonnell, that is!

ugh
I've been on 1000 a day for 2 weeks and today all I wanted was chocolate! I indulged and ended up saying "screw it, you've already blown it for today." Now the guilt sets in...sigh. :frown:
