Yeeeeee Hawwwwwww!
That's awesome Jo....and exactly what happened with me.....hang in there and the weight will start moving again.

:cheer:

Hey everybody! I really really need to get back on track and get back to the gym and walking/running! I been holding steady and need a boost to start the weight loss again. . I think if I pick one day a week to start that is a plus. :/ .. then I can up it to 2 days, then 3..

Yogurt is pretty good stuff and a quick snack or can be breakfast or part of your lunch! I prefer my yogurt creamy and usually stick to the Great Value Wal-mart brand and peach is my flavor. I like to taste the chunks of fruit in there. yum!

I tried this Oikos kind too Scorp. . Strawberry and Peach Mango. Something about peach I keep going back to and love!


Tonight I grabbed a multi grain thin bun, opened it up and added Prego traditional sauce on each piece, mozzarella cheese, pepperoni and hamburger and put them in the toaster oven . It was a a great dinner of personal size pizzas and oddly it was very delish. lol!

One slice of just cheese pizza can be 300 calories but with this option you can decide what you want to put on it. . ie lowfat cheese, homemade fresh sauce, and fresh lean veggies! .. and the bun is just 100 calories for the 2 slices.

The other day on the first day of spring I heard about Vitamin D and how it helps fight stress and moodiness. They were saying on the radio that there is plenty in the sunshine so get outside! It also helps maintain healthy bones and is an immune system regulator. The yogurt I eat has Vitamin D. . Just a thought.. Also, 15 minutes of sunlight a couple times a week will naturally produce adequate amounts of vitamin D your body needs.

That is why im going to start walking every morning! I am going to stay with my Chobani Greek Yogurt. The sandwich rounds are the perfect amount of calories and carbs.

Woo-f**king-hoo!!!

If there was such a thing as a rice cake that tasted like pumpkin pie, I would SO be indulging right now.

Medusa<----who is fighting a major sugar craving! LOL

P.s. Does anyone have a recommendation for an AMAZING sports bra? Something that will keep my girls from knocking me in the head every time I try to run?

I suggest looking at Bali Bras. I like their minimizer bras

Have a good night,

If not, you can always get a helmet.... :p

How's about this alternative:

Get a rice cake and spoon some canned pumpkin on it. 1 cup of the pumpkin is 0 points! That could reduce your craving, you can then sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon on it. And if you want to get a little more out of it, spoon 2 Tablespoons of fat-free cool whip on top of that. Fat free cool whip is also 0 points for 2 Tablespoons.

I get these sport bras at WalMart, they come in 3 different strengths. I need a lot of support, or like you... they will knock me in the face.

I wear it even under my bathsuit, as they have been known to float away and go nuts aquatically speaking.

I have tried many of them there. They are cheap, so it allows me to explore. The BestForm is mega strong and keeps the girls happy and in place. But Fruit of the Loom has several that are not too shabby keeping em happy. One is more cottony and not quite as strong with the lycra.

But check out the BestForms, I think they are considered a dancing gear. There is a whole lot to choose from nowadays. Who would have thunk it, Walmart having good dance gear.

***considering I used to spend mega bucks on dancing gear, it is refreshing to find it now available at a more affordable price***


still miss my Capezio's and Danskins, and intend to be back in them here shortly

Now if they have tights that were that full of spandex! Those cost an arm and a leg. Something I don't think that is discussed much is venous stasis, one of the things that can occur from long term obesity. My valves in my lower legs are shot. And it is directly related to weight issues. I am glad to have lost over 150 pounds now, still working on getting as fit as I can be, so I can enjoy growing older gracefully.

Sticking to the water,

Truvia for sweetening is amazing! I also add it to plain greek yogurt with fresh fruit. Num...

Definitely check out www.titleninesports.com. They rate their bras by bar bell numbers for support levels. Look at the 3+ barbell options.

They are expensive, but last a long time. Although they sell other things, their sports bras are the backbone of their company (this is the company who used to sell the "Frog Bra" that a lot of butches would wear as it was a "major masher bra"). There are many reviews from sports minded women.

Truvia (stevia) is a much healthier choice than the artificial sweetners (sweet and low, splenda, equal, etc) and is a better choice over sugar. I personally like agave nectar, as my sweetner.

I find bare necessities has the best selection in terms of style, support and cup size and usually informative reviews.

I use both stevia and agave nectar, and have found that I prefer the agave....especially in iced tea.

To try to battle my on-going taste for soda, I make sure to keep a pitcher of home-brewed ice tea in the fridge at all times and I sweeten it with just a little agave.

It's delicious...and both much healthier and much cheaper than sodas (plain or diet).

When Snack was here he liked it too....and he's a big "sweet tea" drinker. :)

Again YEEHAW
