not-too-sinfully DELICIOUS!!!
So, because I adore working out so much I tend to have a lot of exercise calories to eat. Some days it's NO problem at all and many days I have between 100 and 200 cals left over. I've also been paying close attention to sodium and fibre and have been looking for good solutions to those items... so today I had a desert…

sweet tooth
So, ever since my first pregnancy I've had this afternoon sweet tooth. That was previously a REALLY bad time for me and a source for much of my unwanted weight. I've had some nutella in the house that I've been allowing myself to get through those tough craving times but it's still got two things I do NOT want to put in my…

weight fluctuation question
So, I'm 2.5 weeks into my journey and I have absolutely no frame of reference for weight fluctuations. I need some motivation and some HELP!! :sad: I know it's not a HUGE deal but for the last 2.5 weeks I've been down in weight every time I've checked and yesterday and today I've been UP. Yesterday was by 0.4lb and today…

10 lbs!
WOW!!!! I'm SO excited :laugh: Obviously I know when I'd lost 9lbs that the 10lb mark was pretty close, but STILL, when I got on that scale and checked in to see that I've officially met the 10lb mark.... yay yay yay! Talk about a motivating feeling :happy: Thanks again for all of the support here. 66lbs to go!

sodium! wth?!?!
So, I'm looking through my full reports for the first time and I'm HORRIFIED to see that I'm usually WAY over on my sodium! But the thing is, we eat literally almost no processed foods, really great whole foods, and this is still an issue! I read that a range of 1500mg to 2400mg is ideal for healthy adults. But, for…

oh my GOOD...
Well, we had the tastiest supper tonight. I'm LOVING all of these new options I'm coming up with! We had gourmet sandwiches. I made an amazing cilantro hummus (1 can chickpeas, 1/4c water from can, 1 T lemon juice, 2 cloves garlic, 1 t tahini, 3 T fresh cilantro, 1 T olive oil) which we spread on the bread and the sandwich…

what a nice feeling!
So, as of this morning I've lost 9lbs since 16 days ago when I began. Today we went for a picnic date with some friends and their kiddos and the two friends who were there when I showed up made me feel so great! I got off my bike and was getting my children out of the trailer and they started talking about how great I look…

ugh - bread day...
So, I'm working with those lovely female hormones for the first time in almost 1.5 yrs (since my son's birth) and boy are my emotions all over the place. Yesterday I stayed within range on all my nutritional stuff (thanks too 1400 cals worth of exercise early in the day) but not all the very best choices. Today I'm still…

POLAR F6
Big thumbs up over the F4??

losing too fast?
So, let me tell you this is the LAST post I thought I'd be making 2 weeks ago today when I started this journey!! But I have a lot to lose - 75 to 80lbs - and I DO NOT want to end up with skin sagging off me. I *assume* that I'm losing a lot of weight at the start up because my body is so eager to slim down and that as my…

What's for dinner?
Tonight we're having grilled wild coho salmon filets, home made baked yam fries (no salt), spinach salad w/ Annie's Naturals Papaya Poppyseed dressing & 1/2 c chocolate frozen yogurt for dessert. Cals: 650 incl dessert. Pretty tasty supper though and packed full of nutrition! How about you? :tongue:

Vancouver Island?
Hey there, just wondering whether there are any other Vancouver Islanders on here? I've noticed there are some Island Farms products already in the system so it made me wonder... :smile:

argh.
I'm on such a roll with working out. I've always LOVED to work out but in the last few years it just hasn't been happening. (Not the cause of my weight gain, sadly... that's all to blame on my lame thyroid and really poor food choices!) So, I've totally been killing it and working my butt off every day. This morning I had…

HR monitors?? Which one?
I'd love to know which HR monitors you guys use and what you'd recommend as I'm interested in buying one!

cals vs. carbs
I know I've seen a post on this topic recently but couldn't locate it. So, yesterday and today have been carby days for me. It has caused me to notice that I frequently have to choose between going under on my cals or going over on my carbs. Any words of wisdom on this one?? Is it more important to stick with calories or…
-
ugh...
So, I'm not so happy with today. I went over by about 450 -500 cals!!!! :sad: I was blind-sided by a huge work load today and didn't get in any exercise other than a few walks (usually I hit the work outs much harder!!) AND I was really hungry today! I don't know if it had anything to do with the fact that I had a mega…

Good site for finding nutritional info on EVERYTHING
http://www.nutritiondata.com/ So if you want to enter a food here and it's not in the system and doesn't have packaging (ie: fresh foods) check here! Great stuff.

a good tip that's helping me!
This little "trick" has really been helping with my motivation and choices around snacks in particular. I enter the food info before I eat it to see how it will effect my day and whether I really want it or I'm just FEELING like eating it. And a nice perk is that if I do choose to eat it, it's already on there and I see my…

I passed a test!
Tonight we went to our neighbourhood fair and I am so proud of myself!! We got all of these tickets for activities but they were also good for cotton candy and so forth. My two kids and I shared three sample size bags of popcorn and we shared two dinners of veggie burgers and salad w/ a side of chocolate milk (would never…

newbie!
Hey everyone, I'm new here and really interested to see how this goes :) I actually became a certified personal trainer about 4 years ago because I've been heavy my whole life (despite having been a competition dancer!) and wanted to make a change. I was pregnant with my daughter when I did the course and now, 2 children…
