    butter or sugar?

    Actually, as Kathryn mentioned, the agave nectar reminds me of honey and that would be fabulous on cornbread. Even if you mix in a little butter, or perhaps almond butter or PB?

    Quilt? Sew? Crochet? Knit?

    I like all of it and have done all but a large quilt. Have many projects started, including a large quilt I was putting together with a sewing machine - the colors won't match now though:-( Got started with knitting last Xmas and everyone received scarfs. The yarns are so cool these days ...

    Alwyn, TT, Kettlebellers, etc Tuesday July 1

    Hi all, Started posted a bit ago but doggone work got in the way !x( Got back into the groove this AM and hit my Stage 2A4 workout. Back is a bit sore so only got in one plank;( . Rest of the workout was good - I think holding the 20# DBs for the step up and reverse lunge was too much...

    Christine - glad to hear people are helping with this great cause. Will be keeping my fingers crossed that the winds blow all the smoke outta the way for you bikers and runners completing the challenge. Hope the training is going well for you barring the smoke of course.

    Hi there ladies ! Well well well, sounds like everyone had great weekends ! Good deal for those of you that had a nice change of pace - it helps so much. Jen - funny how cooking can be fun when you don't do it often, huh? But the best part was you controlled your eating while on...

    OMG -- (sensitive issue - and LONG)

    Send them hugs and lots of understanding from me too. Had an employee go through the same situation and he and his wife were first of all devastated, then so absolutely torn about the decision facing them. Very devout Catholics also and to watch this man cry was so very hard. They went to...

    Alwyn, TT, Kettlebellers, Etc for Sunday 6/29

    Good morning all, Today is a rest day for me and I am feeling like I need it not only for my body to recoup but to get something done around the house! Lora - I'm a total yoga wimp. I enjoy doing it but my shoulders hurt so bad doing moves like downward dog that it doesn't seem to work to...

    So, am I the only one with no life? ;-)

    Well I jumped back online after half a day shopping with DH. Not great shopping, just food and a few odds and ends. I was tired after my workout this AM so decided it would be a totally unproductive day. So DH is grilling our lamb while I am taking a few minutes to get off my feet after...

    Do you like to entertain?

    I love entertaining because I love to cook and DH grills a mean grill. We don't have many friends though so it so very rarely happens. Also because I rarely have my house cleaned to the point where I would want anyone to come over for dinner}( . Someday I will get organized enough and...

    Alywn,TT,Kettlebellers,P90X..etc. Sat

    Back from my run. 6.23 miles, 66.35 min, 1261 cals, HR 163-176 Felt good until 2/3 of the way through I got a bad stitch and had to keep stopping. Not sure I am ready to run a 10K yet. Any of you runners have any secrets to keeping the stitches away or what to do to get rid of one if...

    Save for a rainy day, or live like there's no tomorrow?

    I'm with you Shelley - no inheritance for me since Dad remarried, but I really wish they were still here. My life is so fun now and my kids never knew my Mom - she was the bestest ! And they only knew Grandpa when he was getting sick and grumpier. I get so upset when people don't take...

    Lora - if you are hungry all the time then maybe tracking your macros would be good. I know after I kept my cals where they were but added more proteins in since that is what I have seen recommended for heavier lifting, it actually helped me stay full longer. I have been playing with my food...

    BSN Lean Dessert and Vitacost

    Vitacost is definitely the cheapest. But I ran into them being out also. BSN lean dessert also has great flavors - better than a few of the others I have tasted. I am not very picky though and have been using the EAS from Costco - I keep both vanilla and chocolate on hand and use the BSN...

    Save for a rainy day, or live like there's no tomorrow?

    Nancy - I have seen so many people, Mom & Dad, very good friend and others who have saved and worked hard to wait to have fun at retirement. None of them ever lived long enough. For those that are happy not doing anything for themselves, as some are home bodies we all know, then fine, leave...

    Good morning ladies. I'll be heading out in a bit to do my "test 10K" run. Just downed a protein, banana, PB shake 'cuz my tummy was talking so I'll let it settle just a bit first. Lori - ya' know I was just kiddin', but ya' gotta have fun and I'm sure you will realize on tomorrow nite...

    Alywn,Kettles,TT,P90X...and more..

    Lora - I signed up at fitday.com a couple years ago. If you don't eat a lot of meals with lots of different foods in them (like a stir fry with 6 veggies and a couple proteins) then it is pretty quick to track calories and macros. What I like about it is you can add your own "custom foods"...

    I am finally able to get back here. You all are on a different time schedule than I am - it is only lunch time here. Work has been a bugger lately. Lori - Hope your day gets better, but meanwhile, just keep good thoughts about your time away this weekend and, darn it, stop worrying about...

    Poppin' in to report my workout in case it takes me a while to get back to catch up with the rest of you. Stage 2B3 for me today - the longer workout with HIIT following the weights. Upped most of them again today. Felt strong which was funny after yesterday's blahs? But I'll definitely...
