Can someone shed some light on the subject for me please…I just read the back of my macoroni boxes and mine is whole wheat and everyone else is regular, the nutritional values are exactly the same! So why do I need to spend the extra money on special whole grain pasta just for me, does it really make a difference? Also I have been opting for lean turkey burgers as apposed to hamburger…well just made my family some spaghetti sauce with 94% lean hamburger and read the nutritional label, the same as the turkey! So why am I sacraficing taste when the nutritional values are the same? Is this just a gimmick by the food industry to get us to spend more money on the “healthier option”? Please if anyone has any insight on this subject help me out.

As some of you may know I have been feeling not so good lately. I thought about trying an HGH enhancer but was unsure about them so I asked some of you and I asked Dr Marc, well he answered me and told me not to try the enhancers but to try some Omega 3 and to remove as much processed food (breads, pasta…my fav’s by the way). I have been keeping a food journal and have noticed I dont get enough protien, most of my calories come from carbs. So I am adding chicken and fish to my daily intake of food to up my protien and I am going to do my best to cut out the carbs. I have an aggravating sweet tooth and it is going to be very difficult for me.  On an upside my husband and I celebrated our 4th wedding anniversary by going to Brookgreen Gardens. It was beautiful I am going to attempt to attach a photo. We walked around for 4-6 hours(at a fairly upbeat pace)the place is huge!. So I burned like 1200 extra calories the last two days. I do feel better today, maybe I just needed a break from life to enjoy something,(I also ate a chicken breast-boneless skinless 57g of protien). I am going to jump back on the bandwagon and give this another whirl. I have learned something and I am going to apply it, hopefully it works. I am also going to put some energy towards finding new exercises daily to keep my interest(I think I have adult ADD as I lose interest in things quickly). Anyway just wanted to update. love ya all.

Has anyone tried GenF20 or any other HGH enhancer? I am considering giving it a try to help with my overall health. I am always exhausted and I eat right and I have tried several different things to enhance my sleep but still find it major effort to even clean my house. I had some blood work done a few months back because I thought maybe I was sick but they came back normal. I just dont feel good-ever. I dont want to waste my money on some gimmick but it sounded really good, I just want some sort of proof or recongnition of its worth. Please help a gal out and if you have any info at all let me know, Thanks.

If anyone out there is on wieght watchers points system will you please message or comment me about how it works and if you like it. I am considering joining their online program but dont want to waste money we dont really have on something I wont stick to.

being accountable for my actions. I am soooooo bad about justifying my eating habits, “I worked hard today I deserve and ice cream.” Why can’t I be strong? I want this, I really do, but when in the proximity of goodies my inspiration goes out the window. I don’t beat myself up over it, I just say tomorrow is another day, but tomorrow I do it again. I am alone here in the real world(as apposed to the cyber one)in the wieght loss indeavor. I have support but no one to exercise with or even do anything with like go to the park or mall. This is so hard, why is it so hard. And even after excruciating discipline all week, 7 days, 168 hours, my reward for good behavior is a meesly 1lb. I remember when I was young I could drop five pounds in a week or so with little effort. Now I bust my butt exercising, I eat only good food and can barely drop one pound in the same amount of time. It makes me wonder if I will ever be able to do it. Should I give up and just succumb to the fact that this is my size and I will always look this way? One pound hardly seems worth the effort.

Hey I just ate one of the best burgers I think I have ever had! I call it the Aloha Burger, it was made on the grill and it is a turkey burger with a grilled slice of pineapple and a little barbecue sauce on a toasted whole wheat bun. Absolutely delicious, you all need to try it. I don’t think I will ever eat another beef burger again.

My prayers are also with this family but I want to touch on the issue of why women allow this to happen to them. They don’t allow it, it happens. These men have issues and know how to use them…first they beat down there self esteem then they seperate them from freinds and family, then comes the physical abuse. They trap these women into feeling they have no where to turn and even with shelters it is hard to leave. The shelters aren’t much better than life at home, or so they think. The mindset is “I just won’t do anything to upset him anymore and then everything will be fine.” The man gets in their head and makes them think it is their fault. It is an awful situation. The best way to fight it is to make strong family ties with our own daughters and teach them to be strong, that is the only way to break the viscous cycle. Women in general have the worst self esteem issues (read these blogs and you will see)and these men feed on that. Teach our daughters that they are beautiful and smart and worth a million and they will be strong.

This is a must read. I have been reading the blogs lately and feel something needs to be said. We all need to lighten up on ourselves a little, we are causing ourselves added stress by the worry we cause ourselves over a stupid number that registers on a scale. I have seen numerous people(including myself)who are so worried over a specific number, and some to the point of developing eating disorders. It shouldn’t be about a number or a dress size it should be about health, and if we exercise daily and eat healthy most of the time than we are succesful whether the scale says so or not. It makes me sad to see so many people beating there selves up over a number, it makes me want to chuck my scale in the trash. Nobody is perfect and we seem to be striving for perfection which is an unreachable goal. I don’t like to see my friends so sad, we are all beautiful no matter what that stupid scale says, I looked at alot of profile pics the other day and thought “Wow we are all beautiful and if we were all the perfect size (according to society) we would all be models. What I am trying to say ladies(and gents)we are beautiful, all of us, and we need to recognize that and start aiming for healthy rather than skinny.

I am still here, I know I have not been online lately and I am going to explain(or vent). I suffered from a car accident back in february and now have neck and back issues. Well I did a Tony Little exercise tape(strength training-no aerobics)and aggravated my neck really bad. I have not been able to do anything for three days and have been suffering from a bad headache stemming from the neck injury. It seems everytime I get started something sets me back, it is not fare. I was in so much pain this morning I was crying and had my sister go pick up my perscription for 600mg ibuprofen-I feel a little better now and I was able to clean up my house and do the dishes. It makes me want to give up and I know I shouldn’t. I am almost afraid to exercise again, I don’t like being layed up. I have kept up with my good eating habits though, I didn’t punish myself by binging which I am very impressed with. Maybe this is a test to see how serious I am about losing the wieght. I just want to get back to feeling like my old self. I haven’t felt right in almost three weeks, when will I be back to myself. Well enough of my crying the blues, I hope you all have been doing good and thank you all for being here when I returned you are great buddies.
