What kind of squash? Recipe please!
Haha, no recipe! Just cut up squash and put it in a sauce pan with water until it was tender and ate it. And now I can't stop!
For those who are interested, here is a bit about my juicing....
That was fabulous! Thanks for all the info! I don't know that I could ever do what you do, but just reading about it was amazing! And so sorry about your husband - what an amazing recovery, and it only makes your family even more impressive and inspiring.
Also - HOLY MOLEY THAT IT S A LOT OF FRUIT! WOW!
Hi Im Maria. I am new to this challenge.
Happy to have you! I always find this board an inspiration, so hopefully you will too!
Hi! I am Jenne and I am new to this.
and yay WW!
I'm in! I've done this before and am usually lurking! So I feel I know everyone pretty well, but nobody has any idea who I am.
Happy to have you as more than a lurker!
How do you track/journal your food? Do you keep an old-fashioned paper journal or a list? Do you do it online or maybe on an iPhone app?? If you DON'T track/journal your food, do you think you should?
WW, baby! Through the website or the iPhone app. It helps me to keep to my routine and to stay on track, but I honestly don't "learn" a lot from my data. As I lose weight, I'm finding that my metabolism is always changing, and a splurge meal of a slice of pizza does not affect me and my weight the same way it used to. While I feel grosser than I used to, I don't gain as much from one splurge meal.
Likewise, though, the same exercises don't have the same effect on my weight loss. So, it is very hard to figure out what works and what doesn't, you know? But, as long as the numbers go down, its all good by me!
After another frustrating meeting with my scale I have no decided to ignore it. Serves it well if it is not being nice to me!!!
Way to go, you punish that scale for being a bully!
Honestly, if it helps you stress less about making progress and focus more on your journey to where you want to be, I say do it!
I spent the night planning for next week.. More healthy food - cutting out the crappy carbs - will go to the gym at least 2 days but the sleeping thing i'm at a loss.. I mean I go to bed at about 9:30pm and i fall right asleep and stay asleep the whole night till the Hubs wakes me around 4:30am? I guess my mind is just busy still even though my body isn't.. I hope the eating/gym will help with my funk..
Sleep is always INCREDIBLY hard to change. Usually the problem is that you aren't getting enough. If the problem is you are sleeping too much, you probably still need it, but 7 hours is pretty good. If you feel you need more sleep, I would try staying up a little bit later, and taking a really small dosage of melatonin - you can get it easily at any drug store. Nothing heavy, just a little bit to put your sleep patterns back in order. In times of crisis in our family, sometimes sleep falls by the wayside, and as I'm sure you know, it can seep in every other facet of life.
Sending lots of good vibes that things regulate for you soon!

Cutting this short as I am falling asleep on the keyboard! Tried to stay up to watch Grey's Anatomy, Scandal and Parenthood, and in the process, I'm up way past my usual 10:00 bedtime!
Went to a trade show today and all that walking, holding all of that SWAG was exhausting!
Sending lots of love to everyone for W/I tomorrow!
