Sugar Free Lent
I am by no means advocating cutting out any food from a diet completely, however, for Lent I've decided to do my best to give up refined sugar. Sweets are a serious trigger food for me, and since I'm trying to be healthier all the way around, I need to get control over this problem. I already work out plenty, including…

I'm on Crutches, and this makes me sad.
I need some advice from you veterans out there. I'm looking to lose fat, and was doing relatively well before I managed to injure myself (stress fractures and edema in my hip socket, ball joint, and my femur, yay :noway: ) I'm restricted from using my hip flexor and from putting more than 20-30% weight on my right leg. My…

Am I the only one...
...who doesn't give a *kitten* how the toilet paper hangs? Front or back, it works the same. Discuss.

Mmmm... Creamy
So, I've been eating pretty damn well for the past 50ish days. I eat pretty cleanly, but not really on purpose. I happen to live next door to the Soulard Farmer's Market which really makes buying processed foods inconvenient. Anyway, now anytime I eat food that includes a cream sauce or any richness, I'm siiiiick. I've…

NSV!
Today I got a massage, and as the therapist ran her hands up my back, I could FEEL how much my waist has changed! It may be silly, but it made me smile.:happy:

Shredded Chicken
I crock-potted a BIG chicken breast yesterday as preparation for the week... but now I'm at a loss as to what to make with it! Shredded chicken recipes anyone???

America the Beautiful 2: The Thin Commandments
Watch this documentary. I feel so motivated to be HEALTHY at whatever weight I end up being. Puts several exclamation points on the BMI myth, and encourages you to love the healthy body you have vs. the American stigma of weight as a measure of value. I am here to lose some weight, and still am, however, my motivation has…

How often do you weigh in?
I'm weighing in every Wednesday. I feel like it's a neutral day :) I am dreading weighing in tomorrow though. I don't know why, but I feel like I've gained back the weight I've lost. Just a feeling, I've stayed within my calorie goals, sticking around 1200/day and working out on a strict regimen. Why is it that I feel like…

Fearing the scale...
For some reason, after last week's weigh in at -4lbs, I'm terrified to get on the scale this week. I don't know why, but I just feel like I've gained it all back. I've stayed on track, except one beer filled day, and I've been active. I have no logical reason to feel this way, but it's just on my mind and I'm dreading my…

I was having such a great day today! AND then...
I clocked a 3.6 pound loss. I zipped up and wore an amazing dress to work. I was complimented by 8am. I logged my food, I cut my meat into a deck of cards before I ate it, and I skipped the butter on my sweet potato at lunch. THEN my ex decided to text me. To tell me he's moved on. Which is fine! I'm happy for him! It was…

Cheating
How do you cheat? Do you cheat the whole day, one meal, compensate for the calories? Really need to get this 20lbs off, but sometimes I want cake. Or beer. Or white sauce. Or fried things. Help?

Cheating
So I've come to the realization that cheat days make me feel awful... so I've decided to do cheat meals. One breakfast, one lunch, and one dinner per week are cheatable (as in they can be between 500&600 cals). It just can't be on a rest day, and the other meals have to stay within the budgeted (300 cal) range, and cannot…

Protien
I go over my protien EVERY DAY! Is this really all that bad? I'm having enough trouble with my sugar intake, do I really have to cut back on protien or is this not that big of a deal? It usually comes from hard-boiled eggs, turkey, chicken, or beans. Help!
