My son-in-law needed to watch Rowan and get the laundry done... so he put Rowan to sleep in the basket... I hope they were warm from the dryer....

I remember those days, love my granddaughter but I am VERY glad it is him worrying about this stuff...

The salt should make any difference unless you have a serious high blood pressure problem... that is not much, I think it is less than is on a salted potato chip...

Today's inspiration is:

I have the courage to enjoy getting and receiving love.

Not all of these inspirations are fitness related, but if they help us become a more well-rounded person...

Ok Amy, I agree with the live foods comment but I draw the line at snakes!

Actually what you say makes a lot of sense.  I took a weight management class awhile back, and frequent eating and lots of water were exactly what they taught us.  The other thing is when you hit a plateau, you need to increase your calorie intake for awhile.  Apparently your body thinks it is going into starvation, and you need to feed it to boost your metabolism.

And as Amy said, I'm not a doctor or dietician either, but I am able to maintain my weight by following some simple rules. 

Hi group- not much posting from me lately- still ill- putting a major dent in my training- however- rest is more important. Emeson- enjoy the pics of that cute grandson, and Cheri thanks for the daily motivation words. Take care everyone!

cathcan - 2009-01-06 3:04 PM since i am such a beginner, if a woman with a hippo avatar tells me to eat 2 snakes a day................fresh or frozen?garter? hey i did my first wind trainer session on my bike today, it was ok. as i have mentioned before i fear the bike. i know this is weird but even on the wind trainer. and i did it. anxiety has stopped me for so many years from living the life i desire. yet another small step was taken today. "feel the fear, then do it anyway" thanks for your help on the perrier water. this nutrition advice is so helpful. in the past (like last year) i would try to follow training nutrition where all you ate was sweet potatos and chicken (a few other things) but every day, needless to say i would crash. does any one else here have problems with late nite eating ?i mean like getting out of bed a 2 am making a sandwich.

Cath, what does your calorie consumption during the day look like?  Are you taking in enough during the day?  What time are you going to bed?  I'm trying to look at the key things that make us hungry.   Can you give us any other insight?

Hi Cath -- hit the quote button instead of the reply button.  It takes a little while to get used to this.

Our daily inspiration today is:

I have the courage to face and transform my fears.

Cath has already done this!  Way to go girl!!!  Maybe you can tell us how you did it? 

A lot of my fears are wrapped up with not believing what I am capable of.  This might sound crazy, but if you never push yourself you don't set yourself up for failure.  So stretching outside of your normal bounds is one way to face and transform your fears.  Any others?
