I love Pilates (2-3 times a week), but it is just the strength training part of my week.  I still do cardio (walk, treadmill, bike, or Elliptical) three or four times a week also.  I have been doing Pilates for about a month now and I am getting stronger and more defined.  I like to go to different instructors.  They are all different on how they teach breathing, stretching, and strength training.  I have nothing negative to say.  I love it.

Are you drinking enough water?  If I eat processed foods (lean cuisine) and they are high in sodium I retain water.  Personally, I drink 80 ounces of water a day.  I ate a piece of smoked salmon and went up 2 pounds the next day because of water retention.  I also believe that you should be eating 1400-1500 calories a day.  Give it a try and see what happens :-)

I like to snack on fat free popcorn, a 60 calories yogurt, rice cakes, frozen fruit, fresh veggies, or a can of green beans.  Usually when I eat a snack, then I try to do something to keep me busy a load of laundry and vacuum the house so it gives my body time to realize that I ate and I do not need anything else to eat.

If it is shin splints, see your doctor and ask for orthotics for your shoes if you need them.

I do not always feel like exercising either, but I am always glad I went after I am finished.  I always feel so much better.  If you do not feel like going to the Y today, take a good long walk instead.  It feels so refreshing.

My goals are to continue to lose one pound a week, eat 1200-1500 calories a day, drink 100 oz of water a day, and exercise 5-6 days a week (walk, elliptical, swim, etc) which will be more difficult now that I am back to work :-) Once I get use to my work schedule, I would like to add strength training to my routine in about a month or so.

This is one of our old favorites :-) Ultimate Crock Pot Lasagna Rich, explosive tomato flavors and garlic and onion-rich ground beef will turn your crock pot into a lasagna factory.

1 lb. ground beef
1 large onion
2 cloves garlic
1 can (29 ounce) tomato sauce
1 cup water
1 can( 6 ounce) tomato paste
1 tsp salt
1 tsp dried oregano
1 pack (8 ounce) no cook lasagna noodles
4 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 and 1/2 cup small curd cottage cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Brown in skillet: beef, onion, garlic. Drain.

Add tomato sauce, water, paste, salt, and oregano and mix well. Spread 1/4 sauce in ungreased 5 quart cooker, arrange noodles (break when needed), combine cheeses and spoon 1/3 over noodles, repeat layers twice, top with remaining sauce. Cover and cook on low 4 to 5 hours or until noodles are tender.
Weight Loss Losing Weight Safely While Eating More Than 1200/1500 Calories Poll Aug 10 2006

I really wasn't sure how much my average calorie intake was so I went to my calorie log and added the past 30 days and divide that number by 30.  I am eating 1700 a day on average !!! That surprised me.  I eat 1300-1500 a day during the week but if we go out to eat or there is a graduation party, birthday party, etc. I have more like 2000-2200 calories. 

I have lost 23 pounds so far :-)

I try to do something everyday for 45 minutes to an hour (walk, swim, elliptical, roller blade, yard work, etc.)

I love chicken salad in the bullet.  I buy the light flat out bread and put a layer of spinach leaves on it.  Then I blend 1 chicken breast tenderloin, chives, low fat mayo, a little broth, alittle salt, and pepper and it tastes so good.
