Hey everyone - I am swamped both at work and at home. So here goes a quick checkin - eating - bad. I made a vanilla cinnamon swirl cake with a can of diet soda (have you ever heard of this recipe before?) If you haven't, don't try it. It will kill all willpower and you'll end up eating the...

Hi B - You sound like me - I did the public thing, I hated auditing and taxes. Kind of hard to do accounting when you hate the two basic parts. The problem I had was that I like accouting in general, I just don't like auditing or taxes. I realized that I enjoyed working with my smaller...

Morning everyone - Yesterday was a rest day for me. I wasn't planning for it, but as I went to log in my exercise journal I realized I had already worked out 7 days in a row. I figured a rest day was in order. It was a busy day anyways, but eating wasn't so great. Dinner with DH on Friday...

Buffy - you and I must be on the same schedule. I ate ALL DAY yesterday - and it was mostly bad stuff. But I can't blame PMS - I was just plain ole bad. But like you, I woke up determined to do better today. So far so good. I took an hour power walk and did stretch max so I feel good...

OK, I feel better about my $100 now. They aren't registered anywhere as far as I know. At least if they are, my aunt doesn't know and usually the parents of the groom have an idea of that sort of thing, right? I do like the idea of the christmas ornaments though. I may look into that...

My daughter's didn't go away on its own. We had to have it treated and removed. Sorry I don't have a natural method to offer. My doc said they can spread and that we needed to be careful that she covered hers when walking in damp places (like pool areas and bathrooms) because the virus (or...

I wouldn't ordinarily ask such a question, but I'm socially challenged so forgive me... I haven't been to a wedding in ages. We've been invited to my cousin's wedding next weekend and we plan on giving them cash. They're in their late 30's/early 40's with a house and don't really need...

I always wash my prebagged veggies. I read about the risk of e coli from bagged veggies a few years ago. The article recommended washing all prebagged veggies for a minimum of two minutes under running water. I do that and then use a salad spinner. (Fit44 - Best investment I ever made BTW)...

You absolutely did the right thing. It's very hard to see things objectively when you're the parent. You get used to behavorial issues, you accomodate learning disabilities, you don't want to face that your precious little child might need help you can't provide. You handled it great too...

Hi everyone - Looks like we're all up this week - I was up .8# at WI this morning. I'm okay with it seeing as I haven't been able to exercise fullout for over a week. Slowly I feel like my back is getting better. Maybe by this time next week I'll be up to an Imax. I was so in the mood...

I agree - get something you like since you'll be the primary caretaker. I've only had mutts from shelters and they've been great! Our current dog is a classic Heinz 57 - terrier, beagle, some kind of bird dog (has to be by the way he chases anything that flies), dachshund, greyhound, lab...

"Oh I wish I was an Oscar Mayer weiner, That is what I'd truly like to be Cuz if I was an Oscar Mayer weiner Everyone would be in love with meeeee.." Not daily, but frequently. OK, so who's going to be humming this one all day now?! Claude "Age is a question of mind over matter. If...

Morning everyone - I was starving last night when I got home and I dipped into the peanut butter. I can control it if I just stay away from it; once I start, it's hard to stop! Oh well, I've had a few good days in a row. One bad evening won't kill me. This morning was PUB complete with...

Hi everyone - Late checkin for me again. Today was Stepworks - low impact version. My back is still not 100% so doing the workout with no jumping was better for my back. However, I did manage to get my HR up into my target zone anyways. SO I was happy about that! Becky - sorry to hear...

Not Cathe here, but a devoted morning exerciser. I also believe it's a personal thing. On the rare occasion that I workout later in the day I find those workouts harder. I find it's easier to stay on track with my morning workout. I also find it gives me more energy throughout the day and it...

Amy - We understand completely! I'm actually impressed that you would lend your DVD out. I'd be terrified that I wouldn't get it back. I get nervous when DD uses them and she lives with me! Keeping your DH and friend in my prayers! Traci - with the way you workout, I'm surprised you don't...

Amy - Have you tried the VitaBrownies? I just found them and the Vita Muffins in the organic section of my supermarket. They're one point each and actually really good! Just a thought for the next time you want a treat. They're not cheap, but I figure if I'm can treat myself and stay OP then...

Morning everyone! Today's my day off and I'm loving it. Had trouble deciding what to do because the back is still acting up. Step is out because it causes spasms, power walk was a no cuz it's cold out there, upper body weights would be risky with the back so I settled on lower body - but...

Fat free half & half and 1 1/2 tspn of sugar. Plus I only like flavored coffee. Snickerdoodle is my favorite. "Age is a question of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter." Satchel Paige

Kelly - if you don't usually have fruit in your salad, try some berries or orange slices or any fruit for that matter. I like it best when I add fruit and use balsamic vinegar dresssing, but try it with your fav dressing just for a change of pace. I also throw some high fiber cereal on my...
