I'm back
After a 2 year hiatus where I maintained most of my weight loss, the past 6 months I've been consistently traveling for work and gained 20 lbs. The travel is going to last another year so I need to incorporate some new strategies to stop gaining and hopefully lose some weight. Anyone with travel food ideas would be great,…

Travel and Food
After 6 months of travel, the last 3 weeks in a one stoplight town with about 6 food options I'm heading to a big enough town to have a lot of major chains (and some local choices) and my favorite grocery store. Unfortunately, still no extended stay hotel with a kitchenette. I'm sure this topic has come up but what are…

Frustrating morning run (dog related)
I was so excited for my run this morning. It was 55 degrees when I started and sunny (to me that is Perfect running weather). So I take my dog out to the lake and we hit the trail. I have a leash belt so I can be hands free and Gizmo is pretty good at just jogging along next to me (unless we pass another dog - never…

Dog Owners might want to read this
I don't like to be alarmist, but I read this and it scared me, because if my vet had recommended a 6 month shot vs monthly oral heartworm medication I would have done the same as this person. Just thought I'd share since I know there are a lot of dog owners on here. Beware Proheart 6.…

NSV - Had my clothes tailored
I had 12 items of clothing tailored this week - 2 skirts, 2 pants, a dress, and 7 shirts. I was really excited to get them back mostly cause I have been wearing the same slightly too big stuff to work for a couple months now. I wasn't anticipating how skinny wearing my old clothes would make me feel now that they fit…

App suggestions
I have the C25K app and I love it, but does anyone know if there's something similar out there that allows you to set the time intervals?

Traveling for work
I'm traveling for work this week. I've researched the restaurants in the area and have a good idea what I can eat out (probably once a day), but I'm looking for ideas that I can have in the hotel room with only a small refrigerator and a microwave. Any ideas? Even recipes for things that reheat well that I could make this…

Restaurant Frustration!
I find it really frustrating when restraurants don't have menu nutrition information available. Especially national chains - it's not like they are rotating their menu weekly. There are places I like to eat (Texas Roadhouse) where I KNOW it's going to be lot of calories. I'm making a choice to eat there anyway - I just…

Body Fat Digital Scale
I decided I need a new scale (my current one isn't digital and I'm constantly re-adjusting to zero so it doesn't give consistent weights). Is it worth it to get a Digital Scale that also calculates Body Fat or should I just stick with a regular digital scale? Any recommendations?
