Does anybody know, can you reduce the amount of sodium in canned veggies by draining them and then rinsing them under running water?

Well, I think there is good news and bad news this week.
Bad News: I am still in positive numbers for weight lose. :(
Good News: I actually lost weight this week. I was expecting to gain a little more and face the shame of telling you all, but also knowing I was ready to get on the right track. I didn't lose a lot, but it's a start in the right direction. :)

You can get a lot of these really cheap, especially if you buy them used. ; )

This past week, I didn't do too bad. I didn't quite make my goals, but I didn't fall too short either.
Good
- I walked to and from work every day (30 mins total per day)
- I walked for 30 minutes during lunch on 4/5 days
- I did about 20 mins of upper body weights on Saturday
- I did about 20 mins of pilates leg work and stretching during the work week
Not as Good
- I didn't make it to the gym...work and house cleaning got in the way
- I didn't officially do dvds, but the leg lifts and the upper body work are close approximations.
Food
- All fairly decent, but I really, really, really need to drink more water!
This Week
-I want to do just as well, and I want to get to the gym at least once!!!
-I also want to drink more water.
-I want to start doing my toning exercises again at my desk...I felt like those made a difference.
What are you guys doing????

I'm just writing to say that I reached my goal weight today & I did it the thin & healthy way. For a self-proclaimed restricting anorexic to "recover" & maintain a healthy weight was a big enough challenge. Then I got pregnant with twins. I had a healthy pregnancy & two luminous, healthy babies. Now I've lost my baby weight & I did it without crashing. Healthy eating & exercise --- all the way. I am doing battle with my disordered mind every day, but this community always helps. THANK YOU ALL so much for the support. I appreciate it more than I can say.
Even though I am at my goal weight, this is actually the most dangerous time for a person like me. Maintaining health & not being obsessed by numbers is my new goal now.

It has been a couple of weeks now and I have failed miserably.
I have reverted to all my old habits. Eat, eat, eat........
One of my nieces is getting married in July and that is also my mom and dad's 50th wedding anniversary. I am also hoping to go to Las Vegas in September. Shouldn't all of that be enough to make me want to lose some weight. To say nothing of needing to lose the weight for health reasons.
Now what from that list isn't enough to make me stick to a diet?

This week was really busy, so I didn't get a chance to workout nearly as much as I wanted to, and the week before that, my allergies were so bad, I didn't do much of anything...
Anyhow, here's my plan for the coming week!
Today/Saturday: 45 mins of cardio at the gym
Sunday: Do upper body weights at home, and do 30 minutes of pilates (mostly lower body work)
Mon, Tues, Wed: walk to and from work (30 mins total), and try to walk 30 mins every day during lunch. Try to do at least one pilates or yoga dvd during this three days.
Thurs/Fri: Same walking as above; go to the gym for cardio on one of the two days.
So in total, walk 30-60 mins a day in total during the work week; do cardio at the gym 2x a week; throw in some strength training (pilates/weights/yoga) 3x a week. Hopefully this is doable! We'll see....Honestly, I feel so much better when I'm active.
What are you all doing to keep/get in shape??

Well, I think we will call this week a relatively good one.
I lost some weight and I am back to 0. That's not necessarily great, but I am out of the positive. Let's hope it makes it another week.
Unfortunately, I think we need to give some credit this week to eating some out of date veggie dip. I had a really bad belly ache today. :(

Monday I start my jury duty time. I have it for two weeks, so I am not sure how often I will be around here.
I am hoping that they will call me in every day of the two weeks to give me a nice little break from the hospital and all the joy it brings to my life. :p
Better yet a case that would last longer than two weeks. lol................
So if I don't say hi for a little while I haven't fallen off the face of the planet. Well, at least I hope not.
I hope everybody has a great weekend and I will see you all soon. :)

Well, I knew it was to good to be true that I would lose two weeks in a row.
But it makes me wonder even more if I had truly lost the weight I supposedly did last week.
Who knows.......
Part of the problem I think is, I need to get back to eating more fruits and veggies each day.
And the weather is pretty decent here now too, so I should start getting out side and doing some walking. :)

do any of you guys use an exercise ball to sit on when you're at your desk? do you find it makes a difference in any way - posture, tummy/back muscles, etc.?
i've been considering getting one someday, and just thought i'd ask..

Took a walk today & wore MY juicy sweatpants. Not maternity sweatpants. Not a huge size bought cheap at a cheap store on my way up or down the scale. MY sweatpants. Bought at Saks 5th Avenue because they made my butt look super cute.
Slow & steady. I am 6 pounds away from my pre-pregnancy weight.
