I'm too embarassed to post it. I posted a picture that shows just how huge I am so I can use it as my "before". Maybe once I have some results i'll post it...?


I went for another jog today but made the mistake of bringing Luma. She enjoys walking and she foesnt mind if I jog, but usually I have another person with me and she likes that better. she was being really lazy, it was freezing and windy, and my phone wasn't cooperating (tried to use a running app but couldn't get a signal for gps) so I called it quits...pretty disappointing. Zumba at 7 tonight though. I think tonight I'm gonna make something for motivation like I saw on pinterest.

I actually skip all dressing on my salads. I'm weird.

But it's a good. I just like the added flavor. I measure a tablespoon or two depending on the calories in it. Fat free Italian has 15 so i went for two.

Those are my favorite workout pants at the present time. Then I have on a tank top. Nothing special. I'd never pay huge money for workout clothes. I do spend a little on shoes though because to me those are pretty important. but hey after a year they are still in awesome shape so it's worth it.

I guess for people who go to the gym to show off or meet people instead of actually working out, then name brands matter. Me I hate gyms, always have always will. I can't stand some of the personalities in there, and every gym has them.

I hear that fat free dressings/sauces are really bad bc they have to use a lot of salt AND sugar to make it taste better. To me it's not satisfying and I end up using more, and it just tastes bleh. I try to use just lemon and some salt and pepper, that way I know how much salt I'm putting on, or just do oil and balsamic.

Watched Dr Oz today, had a snow day from work, he has a 2 week challenge...it's gluten free...I may give this a try...any opinions?

Hey any of you girls who have sweet tooths, have you tried the fruit frozen yogurts you make at home? Frozen fruit, honey or agave nectar, Greek yogurt and lemon, that's it.

Isn't gluten in like everything carby? I'm trying to really tone down the carbs, and eating brown rice when possible. But does brown rice have gluten?

Yes, especially wheat. Brown rice was about the only carb allowed. No dairy except Greek yogurt and all the low glycemic veggies you can eat plus lean/low fat meats such as chicken and fish, mostly fish. I'm going to go print off the diet and give it a try...I'm so tired of being stuck at the same weight, I feel like I need a jump start.

[capt_noonie]

What's low glycemic veggies?

Ok I googled, but there isn't an easy way for me to remember the difference.

I'll give it a whirl. I tend to lean towards yoplait for my yogurt needs. I know, I know, it's horrible for me, but good for you plain yogurt is just so yucky!

Meant to quite your yogurt recipe post!!

[capt_noonie]

Have you tried Greek yogurt? Bc I felt the same as you about plain yogurt until Greek yogurt was easy to find. Regular plain yogurt is so thin, watery, and sour in a weird spoiled way. Greek yogurt is so thick, creamy, rich, a tiny bit salty, it's almost like sour cream.

Yes I've tried it and eww. I use to eat the vanilla ones but they wouldn't keep for some reason.

Whaaaa??? It's like crema but more tart! I use it instead of crema when I make Mexican food at home.
