Hi Everyone!
About the quinoa, don't you have to rinse it before you use it? I think it has a pesticide on it. I know I have read that some where. I have bought quinoa before, but it was a mix. It had seasonings, etc and it was already rinsed. I think if the package doesn't already say so, you should rinse it. I want to bring this up in case some people are want to try it for the first time. I think quinoa is the only grain that's a complete protein.
Dream When are you leaving for Denver? I would like to visit Colorado one day.
Veil Hi
It's nice to see you. Great job on the size 14 jeans. It sounds like you are a busy lady. You are welcome to jump back in here when ever you want.
Abidabbi Great job on the 12 miles. That's awesome. I would like to try something like that one day. I would want someone close by that I could call if I needed a ride back, though.
I don't know if I could make it.
Vixsin It's probably just water weight. I agree it can be very disheartening to see. We used to eat Oriental type foods at least twice a week. Now I try to only have it a couple times a month, just because of the fluid retention from it. Makes me nuts!
Roxanne I try not to keep foods in the house that will cause me trouble. I have also gotten to where I only cook enough food for that sitting. These types of changes have been helpful for me.
Raven Great job on your .8. You are doing awesome!
Jer It will take some tweaking, but you will figure out the right combination for your body.
Penguin German Chocolate Cake, Yummy!
Lauren It sounds like you had a great weekend. Good luck on your weigh in.
Blueridge It sounds like you are in a "good place" and everything is coming together for you right now. I know you will enjoy your trip this weekend.
Shells Great job in getting your exercise in & your loss.
