I bet you only gained 2 lbs. because your metbolism is up from the exercise you have been doing. I have wondered if you got the elliptical. Do you like it?

So, I didn't do my 30 out of 30 days. I had a pretty good record going (missed one day), but then got a bad cold and was afraid that if I worked out it would make the cold worse and I would have to miss work like a lot of people have lately. I feel a bit less rough today, so I will get back on it.

I really do like this elliptical, for anyone who is looking. It is Livestrong (by Lance Armstrong). What I like about it is the pedals are closer together, so it is more similar to the actual distance between our legs when we walk. Other treadmills have the pedals spaced further apart, which feels more awkward to me. It is a newer product, so there are less used ones out there, but you can find one. I have never joined a gym (up until now I just either didn't exercise, mountain biked, or had a bike on a trainer indoors), but I know me and I would never go. This works better for me.

your I.V. solutions so you do not have constipation.

Quinoa is high in protein. Since my diet is now plant based whole foods (except fish...which I have to force myself to eat), this is a good staple food for me.

Who else like quinoa? I like the feel of the seeds in my mouth (unlike PinkieLee and her "curd issue"!).

Love Quinoa... pronounced KEEN-WAH (for those of you who may be going around asking "Where's the KWIN-O-AH?" like I did for a couple years... eek... lol)

*says Jett who has gained damn lbs. because she's been eating like crap lately*

So many major ups and downs over the past year+, so much change and I for the most part hate change, but like everyday it's a new day... time to rock and roll.

Not sure about lunch yet but I know I want ribeye steak and shrimp tonight! ..and probably toss a romaine salad together to go with it.

Gemme, I'm pretty sure they said no commitment on either PF plan but I will check again to be sure when I take my free day to try them out! Saturday morning I decided I will hit up Snap Fitness I have free days with them so I figured Saturday, Monday and Wednesday! Then I can be sure of what I want to do as far as a gym goes. Wish I could just move into a community already that has a fitness center but until I figure out where I will be permanently that is not an option. At least I still have the pool and the beach while it's warm! Tomorrow is a beach day for sure!

I hope they do. There's no point getting latched into a long commitment if it's not necessary.

I love pineapple with cottage cheese! It's good with other fruits like strawberries and/or blueberries, but pineapple has just enough juice to make a nice syrup type glaze on the bottom of the bowl.

All my news:

- i bought a treadmill, so along with my elliptical, and few other things, i've no excuses anymore heh... All i need are weights now, next purchase and i'll be set to go here at home!
- hoping to try Zumba soon, contacted a lady who holds classes not far from home and for an affordable price, it looks like such fun!
- will be a good girl on my travels, leaving Monday for Oregon - and thankfully Mr Mtn is 110% supportive of my eating disorder, healthy journey & weight loss goals.. SO will stay on track while there & burning calories often =^..^= heh..
