Are You an Overweight Mom? Get Some Sleep!

04 Oct 2007 02:02 PM

Oatmeal is a great choice. It is loaded with fiber and isn't converted to sugar as readily as say a bagel ;-)

When you're taking care of a family and making sure that everyone else eats right, there rarely ever seems time to plan one's own meals a grabbing a handful of this or a bag of that gets to be pretty easy. i commend you on making healthy choices!

Are You an Overweight Mom? Get Some Sleep!

04 Oct 2007 11:51 AM

Oh, absolutely! Our bodies are designed to keep us alive no matter how hard we fight it ;-) If we aren't sleeping enough, our body knows something is wrong and the only way to keep us going is to make us crave (and eat) the most energy dense foods we can find. It is instinctual for me, after a night of little to no sleep to have a high carbohydrate/high calorie (thus high energy) breakfast like a bagel with cream cheese. It's the only thing that makes me feel right. A low fat/low calorie breakfast will just make me angry. After a good night's sleep, a low calorie/low fat breakfast is quite satisfying.

I agree completely! We usually travel with a set of grandparents and an aunt so I love the villa concept.

Just mix the mayo in with the other wet ingredients (eggs, oil, milk).

Disney World: What's the Best Time of Year to Go?

11 May 2007 07:46 AM

I used to work at Disney World, in their Central Reservations Office, and the Off Season is my favorite time to go because it is much less expensive to stay at the Disney resorts. Off Season is basically anytime when children would normally be in school: Fall (between Labor Day and Thanksgiving) and Winter (after New Year's but before Spring Breaks kick in). Anytime after Feb 1 and before Labor Day is pretty much considered High Season.

Arnold Schwarzenegger Goes Green

27 Apr 2007 05:38 AM

The Governor was the first person in California to have a hydrogen powered Hummer. There was a headline or two about it years ago, but it wasn't "popular" back then to be green. Now that Hollywood seems to have swallowed Al Gore's agenda hook, line and sinker, it is now cool to be green.

Personally, I'd rather be cool like Arnold than just give it lip service like Al.
