Does anybody have a good soup recipe? H is going out of town and I thought it would be a good idea to make a batch and eat for lunches during the week. I'm trying to watch carbs as well.
God, I hate running. But I went! And I got to pet a horse, found a large wasp nest, and got in enough steps to hit my 50,000 step goal for the week, earning me 250 points and getting me that much closer to my 1000 remaining points I need to get another $30 through my work's fitbit program.
ETA: love your advice on squats, too. The squat rack is a girls best friend!
I was nervous about it, but I'm so happy with the results I've seen in such a short time. Losing weight is great, but I feel like lifting weights is what is changing my body. I want to have shoegal arms!
Do you use weight lifting gloves? The texture on the weights hurts my hands, but I feel silly because the only other people I've seen using them are the dudes lifting HUGE weights. I'm already getting some calluses
steph96 you rock. Lifting can be intimidating sometimes because it is so often LOTS of dudes.
I don't use gloves, and haven't ever simply because I am forgetful about remembering to bring stuff like that to the gym and I have a feeling I would leave them at home and / or lose them fast. After time, you will get more calluses and your hands will bother you a lot less.
A woman who lifts at my gym has a pink and black pair that are super cute so I would totally get those if I had my act together
Could not agree more about weights changing the body. It is so empowering. Plus, being able to safely lift more heavy things = awesome.

Have you heard of SkinnyTaste? I love her recipes. Here is a link to her soups. I love the chicken enchilada soup. I could eat it every single day. The chicken pot pie soup is also pretty good, but I think it would be better if it were creamier (which totally defeats the point!).
