And good for you, writing it all out! I like how you put your goals simply and not to far fetching, seems more realistic way of living and being able to reach them!! Always happy to hear the marathon approach and how it works for everyone differently!! :0) Hope you feel better soon. I would love to walk with you sometime when your up for it!Peaceful Chaozhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13684694122224224448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4879590348001123745.post-61814136948043565382009-09-19T10:20:09.470-07:002009-09-19T10:20:09.470-07:00I can really relate to your last paragraph. For me its knowing who I am on the inside that has changed my outlook of that. Still knowing I should work on the outside of course, its just a different perspective now ;0)<br /><br />I&#39;m so happy for you!!! I was actually thinking the other day about you and wondering if there were any changes physically, Good for you!!! :0)Peaceful Chaozhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13684694122224224448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4879590348001123745.post-78336563214529414092009-09-10T15:15:31.750-07:002009-09-10T15:15:31.750-07:00It all depends. Eating well is not cheap. It&#39;s less expensive to buy a burger at McD&#39;s than to buy a bag of broccoli, and while wheat berries are cheap, the grinder is not! But yes, it is almost always cheaper to make the pizza than to buy it, and definitly better for you! Pre-packaged stuff will always cost more and contain more chemicals and less nutrients.<br /><br />We bought a side of beef this year because we wanted grass fed with no hormones. It was far less expensive than buying the same type of meat at the store but probably twice the cost per pound of buying &quot;regular&quot; meat at the market on sale. Yet when I bought my 22 chickens from a poulty farm and cut them up myself, I got them for $1 per pound. That was a great price!Saralynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08315084570904980269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4879590348001123745.post-32397253337529593492009-09-02T14:30:00.470-07:002009-09-02T14:30:00.470-07:00I wholeheardtly think there is, because....<br /><br />The past 3 months I have been spending only $50 a week sometimes less in groceries. This is not an exageration. I make my own bread, pancakes/waffles, even chips and granola bars! Then...<br /><br />The last two weeks became MAJOR stress eating time. I bought ALL prepacked stuff and I spent over $75 both times. YUCK. But WOW I love that you asked about it because now that I&#39;m writing it down Im realizing it and I liked it way better before!<br /><br />Not only do I believe its healthier to make your own stuff because well lets face it No Preservatives. But also when I&#39;m hungry I&#39;m more likely to go for a piece of fruit or a granola bar that has a bunch of healthy ingredients instead of a handful or well a bag of chips ;0)<br /><br />now getting from lips to doing ;0)Peaceful Chaozhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13684694122224224448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4879590348001123745.post-33673338536347510732009-08-31T11:45:24.762-07:002009-08-31T11:45:24.762-07:00Awesome!!!! Good for you!!!! Horray!!! Keep up the good work!!!<br />:0)<br /><br />I loved what you wrote! A very neat way to put it in honor of your 12. I have a huge struggle with accountability. I&#39;m not sure what I need that will keep me motivated, and I have found that I should not ask Josh to be my accountability partner because more often than not i end up getting mad at him! But really, do I need someone calling/emailing me every day, or maybe I need someone to come drag me out, maybe I need to start my blog again, huh, just don&#39;t know!! What do you find that works for you, is it just your blog?Peaceful Chaozhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13684694122224224448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4879590348001123745.post-20143015364791226492009-08-22T08:53:02.017-07:002009-08-22T08:53:02.017-07:00hye. i enjoy reading ur good articles, come and visit me at http://brotocafe-tamimherba.blogspot.com/SunanFulushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17176185097214386206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4879590348001123745.post-63132596238968791842009-08-13T06:00:27.650-07:002009-08-13T06:00:27.650-07:00Going to see Julie and Julia with one of your best friends? ;0)Peaceful Chaozhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13684694122224224448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4879590348001123745.post-10193613940488680892009-08-06T13:48:30.812-07:002009-08-06T13:48:30.812-07:00Great job bec!

I was just thinking about you and this blog the other day, mainly because it was so encouraging reading yours while I was dealing with my weight myself and I&#39;m in a rut as well, only I&#39;ve gained back more than I lost and I haven&#39;t been pregnant for 3 years and am not in a deep grieving!! Scary for me, but like absolutley everything in life I think its good to just take it one day at a time (IN ALL THINGS)<br /><br />Thanks for the reminder and for being real ;0) And if you need a wieght loss buddy, whatever you decide I will be here :0)Peaceful Chaozhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13684694122224224448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4879590348001123745.post-50277438650688968962009-03-23T07:12:00.000-07:002009-03-23T07:12:00.000-07:00That is pretty funny!!

Way to do the research yourself! Glad to hear that little tidbit that you don't have to eat THAT much more when you're pregnant! Not that I'm pregnant but it's one of my worries because as I do lose weight the idea of gaining more scares me.<BR/><BR/>I hope everything is going well!Andreahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05145555522345264225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4879590348001123745.post-74630778158933610402009-03-17T05:25:00.000-07:002009-03-17T05:25:00.000-07:00Yea!

I&#39;ve heard them all, I think. Ginger seems to be especially popular. I&#39;ve done hard ginger candies, ginger ale, ginger cookies &amp; more recently raw grated ginger mixed into my drinks. My OB says to eat a fruit along with a protein. Who knows if any of it helps or not? It seems for me that a nice steady stream of food helps best. As in, eating every two hours or less.Rebeccahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09394453146621467115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4879590348001123745.post-76982388572077184322009-01-14T11:25:00.000-08:002009-01-14T11:25:00.000-08:00When I was pregnant, morning sickness was a HUGE pain for me and I read somewhere that ginger root is good for helping with nausea.

I had heard that bananas were good for that. I'm not sure of any others though. :0)<BR/><BR/>congrats on the no lbs. gained!!
