Fitness and IBD
So here is the deal, I have recently been diagnosed with Crohn’s disease and it has reinforced the fact that I need to take care of my body. I have come to the realization that I have been going through this cycle of nearly killing myself trying to work out and then getting so sick that I just give up all together and let…

Re-introduction!
Ok, I have been here on and off for about a year. Well I am starting over! Hit the reset button and go back to the beginning. This time is different, why you ask?

Hiding veggies
I am on a huge smoothie kick lately and I am looking for good recipes that hide veggies in them. My hubby will just do a straight brocolli, carrot, tomato smoothie and that is just not gonna work for me. I am not really big on veggies to begin with so I thought this might be a good way to sneak them in. Any ideas?

Chocolate!

nutrition calculator?
I am trying to make more meals at home but I need something that I can plug all my ingrediants into tell it the serving sizes and it will tell me how many calories and all that are in it. Does something like this exist? Is there an app for that? (couldn't resist) Can I have a link? Thank you!

Tomatoes!!!
Ever since I had my little boy I have had an obsession with tomatoes. I can eat tomatoes on anything, anytime. As I am typing this I have 1/2 a tomato sitting on my desk to which I have added a small amount of salt and am eating by itself. With that being said how healthy are tomatoes really? I know fruits and veggies are…

Fat free vs Sugar free
I am specifically talking about coffee creamer, I am a self-proclaimed caffine addict and I need my coffee in the morning. I have used fat free and sugar free creamer and not noticed a difference in the taste with either, so which is better? Also if you have opinions on other products I would like to hear those as well.

Heat?
I am walking on my lunch break at work and I am curious does the heat affect how many calories you burn? We went walking outside today and I was sweating like a pig and it got me thinking about my calories burned and whether or not the temp and amount you sweat had anything to do with it. By the way I am still pretty much…

calories and fat?
I went over my fat allowance today and I am wondering how many calories equals a gram of fat. I have kind of a hard time staying in my fat allowance but I stay well under my calories most of the time. I know its just bad food choices but for me this is baby steps you know what I mean.

Wii Fit weigh ins, everyday?!?
Ok my Wii keeps prompting me to weigh in everyday and I really don't think this is a good idea for me. My weight has fluctuated from 145 to 147 back down to 144 this week and I found it really discouraging to see it go up and down like that. So what I am wondering is for those of you who have the Wii fit how often do you…

So ladies and gentlemen give me your opinions…

Falling off the wagon
My boss joked that I fell of the diet wagon this morning but considering my breakfast I would say that I didn't fall off but rather jumped off and ran in the opposite direction! On the other hand I did go walking, intend on going walking again at lunch and am going to my first Zumba class tonight so I hope the damage isn't…
