I worked very hard physically when I was younger which help counter some of the calories I ate. I have an office job (last 7 years) so I have to exercise if I want to lose weight. I found Curves to be a great starting place. It is all women which makes me more comfortable. I tried the other gyms and their were always guys hanging around watching people work out. That intimidated me, so I quit. At Curves, there is no guesswork. You know what you will do everytime you go. Some have said to me that the workout is not intense enough for them. Believe me...if you push yourself, you will get a great cardio workout. If want to build bigger muscled, you can free weights at home. Give it a try....it might just be what you need to get you into the routine of exercising. it has worked for me...I have been going for 2 months and am still amazed that I go 5 days a week.

It's so easy to pick up fast, pre-packaged junk these days! It actually takes some effort to fuel ourselves with nutritious, wholesome food so good on you for not taking the 'easy way out'!

You are on track with eating more fruits and veggies: can't go wrong with those. You also got great asparagus ideas. Re your ulcer: stress does not cause ulcers. Ulcers are caused by a bacteria called h. pylori. You can get tested for it, and if positive, treatment with antibiotics. You said you don't have health insurance but is there a community clinic or something you can go to? If you neglect the ulcer symptoms you can end up in time in a very bad situation health wise.

When either of us are feeling any emotion: happiness, anxiety, worry, anger- we both go to our addictions: me=food. Jon=smoking. Nice to know that other people compare their love of food to others. lol :-) Reading your conversation with Josh about music compared with your love of food was just like reading about a conversation I recently had with my boyfriend, Jon.

I bought a used one to ride around the park. I had not ridden in about ten years (and about seventy pounds ago). It is so much fun and great exercise (the hills kill me).

You seem to be approaching your goal with real style and with a smile on your face! I too find it not too easy getting fruit and veg into my meals and end up having only one or two portions a day. One thing that might help is to make a dish of only vegetables. I'm not a big fan of salads (why eat cold food??), but I've found that Asian vegetarian dishes are a great substitute. For example, cooking broccoli, pak choi, mushroom and tofu in a wok with a touch of oyster sauce and serving that with brown rice. Hope that helps, and good luck with the wedding! Hi there

I have always been a fan of off the cuff type dresses, and those red peep shoes will be amazing. Congratulations on needing the dress to be taken in - your motivation and inspiriation is comendable. So well done... and just think, after the biggest celebration of your life, you get to go to Europe and experience an amazing world of cultures.... those memories last a lifetime - congratulations!!!

Test for doneness. Some people like it crunchier, others like it softer, it totally depends on your preference. I find 15 minutes is perfect. A great way to finish it also is to splash a little balsamic vinegar on top. Delicious! Hope you like!

So I'm being domestic with all the cooking and baking. I can relate to what you're saying. And you're wearing red shoes, yay! Cannot wait for the photos.

I love to cook. I love to savor every bite of the meal I worked so hard to prepare. But lately (the last month or two) I've gotten out of the habit of cooking. Thank you for this post! It's inspired me to start cooking/creating again. Thanks. :) You know, I love food. I love to cook. I love to savor every bite of the meal I worked so hard to prepare.
