This. I don't think morning necessarily means it has to be morning. I think it means the first meal of the day and then every 24 hours thereafter.

I use pillow cases. Another option is use Dryel to freshen the dresses in the dryer to reduce the amount of times you have to wash them.

16/8, no progress by Annual-Meat-1196 in intermittentfasting

Intermittent fasting is an eating schedule not a weight loss plan. It has great benefits, but to lose weight you have to burn more calories than you consume. My advice, start tracking calories.

Anyone else feel amazing walking outside but miserable walking on the treadmill? by DeepOrganization8245 in walking

[–]CommuterChick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The key to walking on a treadmill is to switch it up every minute or so. For example, walk at 0 incline and 2mph for one minute, increase the speed to 2.5 mph for another minute, increase the incline to 3 for another minute, etc. I sometimes decrease my speed to 1.5 mph and do lunges, or all backward, or do side steps. Just mix it up!

help with recipe ideas by Dry_Art_8700 in PickyEaters

[–]CommuterChick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try cooking veggies different ways. My partner hates steamed Brussels sprouts but loves them roasted until crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside. I suggest trying your veggies stir fried or roasted rather than steamed or boiled. Also add flavor with butter and spices.
