Just caught up on the BTR shows from the past two weeks. Was very interested in this one not only because of the cholesterol talk but the issue of supplements. I agree WHOLEHEARTEDLY that we should get them from our food. John McDougal has said th...

OHH Mac and Cheese!! Didn't think of that! I have a recipe (somewhere) for Mac and Cheese that uses cauliflower as well as pasta so it's better for Diabetics. Will have to dig for it and make it as well. Sounds like you are planning on feeding a s...

For me being mindful of my calories is the way to go, I choose real food, organic food and do not buy anything in a box, in styrofoam or through a window. i buy from local markets...... It is just what works for me, that being said it may not work...

Absolutely! I can't wait to see more of your blogs, Marvin, they are great.

Warrior Woman replied to Alley C.'s discussion 'Help! This weight is not coming off!'12 hours ago

I totally agree with you to Steve, for 2 simple reasons. 1. It tells me nothing about food quality (macro or micronutrients). And, 2. Time consuming. I'd rather put that time into the million other things I need to do to be well myself, run a hous...

rambling and some health concerns

I've been experiencing some troubling things when I walk into certain stores. When I go into like Walmart, CVS, or even dollar Genaral I get extremely lighted, its to the point I feel like i'm on the verge of falling down because everything is spinning around me. I made an appointment to see my eye doctor but I can't get in 'til August. My health insurance increased so I can't go to the doctors like I should.

I'm in the process of changing my life espec the food I eat. SOme days are better than… Continue

Recap of Susan's 6/30/2009 BlogTalk Radio Program

"If they told the truth, we wouldn't need 90% of the degrees out there."

Susan started tonight's show ruminating about many, many things: "I love the feeling of number 2 pencils.... The world is too slow for me on EVERY level....nurture-nature, nurture-nature, nurture-nature--- I don't care!....I don't have any more discipline than anyone else, are you kidding me?....I'm talking tonigh

Anyone here in North Carolina?

Hi Everyone!
I'm new to the Fayetteville, NC area (and the ning community) and I'm looking for friends that believe in wellness and love Susan! It's really hard to find people who know anything about what she talks about and if they do...it's just not a priority in their lives. She's right..."America is eating crap!", and I want to surround myself with people who know that having a lean, strong and healthy body is connected to everything. I have 50 lbs to lose and wellness is my priority!

Hi everyone, it's nice to be back.

Hey there ningers! When I first joined this site I didn't know very much about how to use this kind of community, but now I've learned what to do and how to participate, so I'm ready to totally immerse myself. I have a different job now. I didn't want to sit at a desk anymore, so now I'm the supervisor of housekeeping at a hotel and I'm on my feet most of the day. My dream is to run a bed and breakfast someday, and I'm hoping my new job will help me get there. Since I last blogged a lot of thing… Continue

I dont even know where to start.....

So where the hell have I been? A question emailed to me, twittered to me, asked me on phone voicemails.... Yes i am alive. As my friend Jamie used to tell me "I was going through". So for those of you who dont know the story i'll give the cliff note version. Lost my travel industry job in september 2008. Got a retail job as a full time second level manager with benefits in october. Found out in January after the holiday season of course that my full time job turned into a part time job, pay cut… Continue

Starting fresh with a clean fridge

Where I live, I am lucky enough that all I have to do is drive 30 miles to reach a grocery store that has a wonderful whole foods section. I say that because growing up, a healthy place to shop was like 50 miles or more to get to. I was able to find miso and grab a few other key items I needed. The produce was stellar like it always is. I get home and realize there was no room in the fridge. I'm being lazy don't feel like typing the whole word. I grab the cooler, load it up and then started scru… Continue

Running and injuries

I have a few minutes to type. I'm listening to one of Susan's archived podcasts from Blogtalk. I was listening to her as I went for my run the other day. All I can say is, its hard to run, breathe, and not choke while listening to Susan. She makes me laugh as she tells it how it is. The time did pass by quite quickly which is a beautiful thing when you are a new runner and training for endurance. Too bad I managed to strain my left calf muscle. I've been nursing it all week. Today I did take my… Continue

Recap of Susan's 6/23/2009 BlogTalkRadio Program

"90% of what everyone's doing is a load of shit"

Susan's topics tonight were cholesterol, her dental surgery from earlier in the day and anything else that she would talk about and yet, of course, she managed to successfully string it all together.

Doug in Vermont clocked in at the ten minute mark with the first call and wanted to know about nuts. Susan would answer, but it would take another hour. Instead, she talked about… Continue

How do you let your kids grow up when you know that they are making all the wrong decisions

Hey, I was 17 once. I just don't remember being so naive and just so needy. These kids nowadays are exhausting. They are looking for attention in all the wrong places. Doing and saying inappropriate things and when an adult speaks up and says "Hey, what are you doing? What you are doing is very inappropriate", and they look at you with this distain on their face and say "you know what, it's my life, and I will run it the way I want to." First of all, I don't ever remember speaking to my parents… Continue
