    Weightloss

    My biggest obstacle is going out to eat. I find it easy to stay on track with a diet plan when I am home and plan out my meals. But I now work in close proximity to friends who want to meet up for lunch several times a week and go out for dinner after work several nights. This is not only a...

    The wonderful benefits of walking for health

    Walking is my favorite form of exercise (jogging/running is too hard on my knees and ankles). I find that walking is a great stress reliever. I walk a short distance every morning Monday-Friday before work, which helps me shrug off any negativity from the day before and mentally prepare for...

    Eggplant

    Thanks for the support and advice. I have a wonderful update!! After watching a video in this post about coffee grounds, I added some to the soil around my eggplant. After just three days, the change is remarkable. The leaves are now fuller and greener. No more shriveled yellow leaves! It...

    How much do you workout?

    Do you have the fit desk at work or home? I've heard about some people getting stand-up desks and alternative (healthier) style desks at work. I would love that, but I'm not sure it would be allowed at my work.

    Do any of you belong to a local gym?

    I have to make the effort to go to the gym, because I can make too many excuses for myself while at home and don't focus on working out. (Example: "I'll do push-ups during the commercial break to a show" and end up doing about 30 seconds of work.) I did a trial at the local gym, but the...

    How to Plant Vegetable Container Gardens

    Great idea to put the garden on a cart!! I live in an apartment with very little space outdoors, so I've made a container garden. But putting it on a cart and being able to easily move it (because of sun/shade/rain) is a great idea I hadn't thought of.

    Eggplant

    Hi! Has anyone tried growing eggplant in their garden? I bought a small plant, thinking it would be fairly simple. My other veggies are all doing great but I'm not sure the eggplant will make it. The leaves are turning yellow and starting to shrivel. Anyone experienced with growing eggplants...

    Coffee Grounds: How And Why We Use Them In Our Garden

    Thanks for sharing the video! Someone told me to add coffee grounds to my soil when planting veggies, but they couldn't explain why. They said they just heard it somewhere. I didn't think much about it because it sounded so weird to me. Good to see the video with more information!

    Crock Pots

    Thanks, Barbara G. I also live in a small town so Walmart is probably my closest/best option for now. Online shopping is tempting, but sometimes what I get isn't exactly what I imagined it would be. Lots of risks. I'd rather see what I'm buying in person first.

    Pizza in the Crockpot

    sounds like this has the potential to be messy--they say to lift it out of the crock pot with two spatulas! It does sound tempting to try though. I'll consider it. If anyone else tries this recipe first, please let me know! I would love to hear how it goes, and possibly see pictures of the...

    Crock Pots

    Like slowcookmama, my first crock pot was also a gift. I haven't had any trouble with it yet, but have been thinking about buying another smaller one. The first one is the old fashion style like TheresaL was mentioning, just one knob for high, low, or off. If those are recommended most, that's...
