I use to be really bad about eating boxed stuff. I use to buy those lean cuisines a lot. Yes I lost weight eating them, but now I just try to make my food after learning that it's not always good for you. But if I do eat them on a whim, I always heat them on a plate. Never in the plastic they come in.

I need to learn more about using seeds and stuff like that. I know a lot of them are really good for you, but haven't gotten really into yet. I started putting flax in stuff a while back, but never go to the point I knew exactly what I was doing with it. I would just add it to smoothies. I am going to start educating myself on that stuff.

I have taken kickboxing. my gym has it, but not the one i frequent. But yes, it's a good class too.

I've been a member at my gym for so long, I just have to pay yearly. So that is good. They charge me $180 a year which equals $15 a month, so it's not too bad. It will never go up or down for now on. But when I first started going, I paid $30 a month. That sucked.

I don't know if they have crunch fitness where your at, but my friend goes to them and pays $10 a month. Crunch fitness has classes too. Aren't you in L.A.? I am sure they have one somewhere near you. If you want a gym membership, maybe check them out?

that has been me, I have a second freezer and put all that stuff in the lower level so I don't have to look at it

I loved kickboxing! Used to go 3 times a week. And then I decided to try out "core training". omg... I thought I was going to die.

They have a boot camp on Wed. mornings. I wouldn't dare go today, being as sore as I am right now. But I will give it a try next Wed. I took that class years ago, so I have an idea of what it is already. That one will leave me sore too. lol But sore gets results, so you gotta do what you gotta do, I guess. :)

Feeling kind of yucky today. I think it's my body detoxing. It's been years since I've done any kind of detox. I hope its that and not the flu. But I think I am right.

No not anymore. I moved out of LA back in September. I didn't change my info on YT since no one knows or has ever heard of my town. The move is the reson I can't afford a gym. It's so expensive where I live! That's why I work out at home. Like today, we walked down to the grocery store. The entire walk back was uphill!!! A steep one too. My legs are burning!

Just looked it up. 1.6 miles one way to the store. That's 1.6 miles of nothing but an uphill walk. Oy....

From what I have read, sprouted seeds are more nutritious than unsprouted. So eating quinoa, chia, etc is good, but if you eat them sprouted, even better! I have been putting flax in my smoothies for about a week now. I don't know if it's the flax for the chia/vinegar water I've been drinking but I'm so not hungry anymore! In the morning after by smoothie I am so full that I don't even feel like eating. So when bf and I get lunch, I can only eat a half portion. I save the other half for my evening snack. A few days this week I didn't even eat it I was still full. So I would take it home for late dinner.

Usually how we eat is big first meal, smaller second meal, and third is a tiny meal, often a snack. I've been eating that was for awhile now. It's hard for ex like when we went on our cruise, dinners were so large I would only take a bite or two of each dish. Unless of course it was really really yummy. :p

The scale hasn't moved much, but I am happy to report that I did go down one notch on my belt! Although it's a new belt, so I hope it's just not the leather stretching. :cool:

You can always get into a bar fight..... :cool:

Who needs a bar! ;)

Hahahahaha!!!

Okay, I have fallen off the health wagon for a few days. So disappointed in myself, but ran out of healthy food...and had to make do with what I had. Stopped at the store this evening after work and picked up some healthier things to eat. So, tomorrow I'm climbing back on...hope I can do this!!!

Get your ass back on that wagon!!! haha :D

OMG! I still can't walk. I mean I can, but mannnn I am sore. I have been avoiding my room because it HURTS to walk up the stairs to get there. The laundry has been put on hold for now. lol

Sore sore sore.... Doesn't help that I wore the wrong shoes on my walk and my feet hurt on too of being sore. Ow....

I find it less painful if I stretch for about 10 min or so... And if I'm feeling sore enough, I get some hot packs. :D

I'm feeling better now that I've been moving around a while. I will probably go back to the gym today. :)

My salt cravings are killing me today. So I am boiling some broccoli and will dip them in mustard. That should satisfy my salt cravings for today.

Does any of your furbutt think it's play time when you're trying to stretch on the floor? -_- Magnus thinks I'm offering myself as a cushion for him to lounge on and Zoey tries to play fetch or figure out what I'm hiding by trying to "dig" herself inside when I'm in certain stretching positions. LOL

Yes. Charlie will get really close and just stare at me. He doesn't know what the heck I am doing, but it sure is interesting to him. lol

Kaji cries, whines, or will dig in my hair. That's why I try to workout, stretch, whatever at 5 am. He's still sleeping and usually leaves me alone. If for some reason I moved my workout to the afternoon, I give him a chew to work on. Only buys me 20 mins, but that's better than nothing!

Magnus stares at my mom when she's on the treadmill. He finds it SOOOOO entertaining for some reason. And he gets super excited when she's done. But the weird thing is... he gets scared when I'm on the treadmill and have his tail between his legs. :confused: Won't come close. It's times like this when I really REALLY wish our furbutts can talk so I can ask them questions! :D

What if you don't want to hear the answer? ;) :p

Haha.. Like they are saying. LOOK AT THAT Booty JIGGLE!! LOL :D NOt the innocent.. "What are you doing mom" we think they are thinking.

Lola thinks it play time as well, when I lay on the floor she keeps putting her toy on my face or chest. If I do an aerobic video she tries to get between my feet. And forget about the big exercise ball, as soon as that comes out, she goes wild barking and trying to head butt it across the room. She is the first dog I know that actually wants to play with the big exercise ball, she pushes it all over knocking anything down in it's path. When I use it I know lock her out of my bedroom and then I store it in my Jacuzzi tub,

There is a bag of Rolo's staring at my on my kitchen counter. I think I've been good enough lately to have just one. :) lol

Imagine! That would be so embarrassing! I would imagine they would have no brain to mouth filter either. "Mom, what's that cottage cheese looking thing on your legs? I don't have that." :eek:

oh no who put them there:eek::eek::eek: I feel for you guys that have kids and spouses that like to keep snacks around or if you work at a place where munching is the norm. I would have a very hard time in that type of situation. I really have no excuse, I do ALL the grocery shopping and ALL the meal prep for just my husband and I, he works a lot and never snacks at home so if I don't buy it there is nothing here. I work for myself from home so if there is temptation then it's normally caused by me. Rolos are one of my favorite candies, I have a thing for chocolate and carmel, and especially carmel. If there was a bag laying around here, I would eat the whole bag.

My niece made a tin of cookies that was included in the Christmas box my sister sent me. I opened it up during the day when Ian was at work, I had two, then three, then came back and had more, then later a few more till I finished all 20 or so. I was cleaning up the evidence before he got home so I turned the tin over to shake out the crumbs and LOL there was a gift tag on the bottom saying To Uncle Ian, Love Shaylyn:eek::eek: OMG I ate all the cookies that were supposed to be for him, I quickly called my sister and said you better NOT breathe a word to Ian that Shaylyn sent him cookies. I am bad really bad.
