I have it set to DVR and it really has helped me jump back and make sure I stay on track. :wink: Check it out. I haven't looked to see if they have anything online. But…

Incredible Story...
In 1986, Peter Davies was on holiday in Kenya after graduating from Northwestern University . On a hike through the bush, he came across a young bull elephant standing with one leg raised in the air. The elephant seemed distressed, so Peter approached it very carefully. He got down on one knee and inspected the elephant's…

The pain chart...SERIOUSLY???
Ya know what??? I hate those stupid "pain charts." They should be banned for usage against (and yes I mean AGAINST!) anyone older than 10. I went into the cold little room and the doctor asked me, "Look at the chart and tell me how you feel." So I look... If I pick 0, then WTF am I doing at the doctor's office? Am I…

Mandarin Chicken Pasta Salad
I needed a spot to "put" this so I can refer to it, so I figured I would also share my favorite salad recipe! YUM! It seems like a lot of items, but it is very easy to put together. It is a Pampered Chef recipe. This is "about" what it looks like, minus the hard noodles. I don't have a photo of it on my…

I have been putting this off for days...
But now I must assssssk. I have a spot on my backside right leg "top" that feels like a sun burn. It feels like a rash, like pulled skin even. I don't want to go into the doctors for it...hubby played doctor and said there is nothing there. ??? So anyone know what can be going on? I guess it also feels like when you sit…

I think I have a problem...
I'm watching the weather go through and we should be hit pretty hard by Fay. They say about 8 - 10" of rain. The first thing I thought wasn't, "Quick! Stock up with foods and get the family to higher ground!" I thought, "Awww crap, how am I going to log my foods when the power goes out???" :huh:

Hummm...I'm trying something different!
I'm feeling overwhelmed with some things going on...So I figured I would post here with a plan instead of stress eating. I'm going to go biking and although I hate going alone, I'm choosing to hit the roads instead of eating. I guess this is a good achievement for today. From start to the first fence will only be 6 miles.…

Tramps!!!
Did anyone see that "trampoline" is an Olympic Sport??? WTH? Where have I been? SERIOUSLY!!! You have to do 10 tricks, and stay in the center square.

The Price of Health?
A few people here have talked about this before so I would like to really get a conversation going to figure something out. Does it cost more to eat healthy or not? To buy SOME items yes it is far more pricey, or cheaper. But overall I haven't seen my budget change at all just to make a few changes to be healthy. Eating…

I'm going back to the island!!!
Unlike (Ty) who seems to have swam out to the island again...COME BACK TY!!! Here's a question for you. You are being shipped off to an island far far far far away. You are able to take ONLY ONE type of food with you. What food would you to take? Only one edible item.... Anyone?

The current guy is eating: 3 pound burger 1/4 pound of cheese (12 slices) 5 pounds of french fries If he eats another burger, the owner of the restaurant said he would change the name of the burger and name it after him. After stuffing his face for quite some time and eating…

Heart Zone Information
Target Heart Rate Zones Losing weight and managing to keep it off is a lot easier when you exercise within your target heart rate zone. To determine your target heart rate zone, first subtract your age from 220. That is your maximum heart rate. To get the most out of any exercise, you should target 50% to 80% of your…

Can someone explain to me???
I would love information from others here on thyroid problems and weight loss. I know I'm totally clueless on the difficulty a person has if they have thyroid issues. I have a husband with a thyroid problem from his cancer treatment. He isn't looking to lose much weight at all, less than 10 pounds. But I always hear people…

Pobody's Nerfect!
Pobody's Nerfect! So last night at gymnastics I was speaking with a lady who I know from a few different sports. She was overwhelmed with some things and wanted to know how everyone keeps it together all the time. Her little one is a great kid, but each time we have seen each other he is busy and all over...but VERY good.…

So what's broken?
I was thinking my heart was palping today, but after Dr. Hubby evaluated me I am actually having a "pause" in my heart beat. Does anyone have any idea what could cause this? I have had a palping heart rate before and after having it evaluated the results are...nothing. So...Anyone with a missing heart beat or have ideas?…

Funky Diet Mechanism...For you?
I was thinking of a new question to throw out there... If you could instantly make up and have a new diet tool to help you out, what would it be? My item would be called the "Rump Jump." It would be a spring which can be inserted into a couch to thrust the cushion you using, into the air to jump start you to go workout.…
