Tara, lettuce wraps sound yummy right now!! You asked for more low-carb ideas: check out the links above. :) Bill, I'll bet that makes a HUGE difference for your health. I definitely need to implement at least the 10 minute work-out or something like that when I sit for a long time. (Which is daily, working on the blog.) Ben, thanks for reading!

During my time at work, I do push-ups and some ab work. There is no way I can sit behind the computer for 12 hrs a night and not do some physical activity. I work at night for 12 hours.

I remember standing on it and making a joke how with the baby I had 33% body fat. I was NOT laughing, however, when after having my daughter I was still 32% body fat. My favorite low carb snacks are lettuce wraps (either chix, mayo, tomato, cheese or BLT), a couple macadamia nuts, spoonful of almond butter, 1/2 C ricotta cheese w/ a splash of almond extract is really yummy too. I'd love to hear any other ideas out there!! After all, you can only eat so many hard boiled eggs... We bought our current scale when I was 8 months pregnant with our 1st child.

I think it was too late at night here in Hawaii when I read your post. A little too much caffeine too late at night kept me up. Also, thanks for your column, I really enjoy reading it. Lots of good info here! Thanks Kelly, I missed that! I think it was too late at night here in Hawaii when I read your post. A little too much caffeine too late at night kept me up.

Like Ann Marie, I was just suggesting that you not be so hard on yourself! There's nothing wrong with pursuing an ideal body composition, but it's not worth stressing over. Maybe you should just stop sitting! :) It's not good for you anyway!

(I can't believe I'm telling you guys that.) Vin, yep, you are a snot too! Thanks for sharing, everyone, I loooooove to read your comments. Ben, it was in #3 above (about losing 10#). :)

I sit ALL day long since all my work focuses on the computer, but at least I use a yoga ball instead of chair. It forces me to have good posture. I really need to hit the gym too. What a motivator!

My neighbors probably think I'm crazy for doing sprints in front of the house, but I don't care! Interval training improves both anaerobic and aerobic fitness and can cause you to burn calories for up to 48 hours (the EPOC effect). It's much better than the "chronic cardio" that people are wearing down their bodies with ... and not losing any weight! I'm a big fan of short resistance workouts too. I like to focus on just a few functional exercises like squats, deadlifts, chin ups, etc. and keep it brief. For people who are limited by time or energy, it's amazing how good of a strength workout you can get in just 10 or 20 minutes. I guess I'm a snot too. :) My body fat is 7% and the reason why I'm mentioning it is because I owe this to limiting myself to real food. I've been an athlete and a fitness nut all of my life, so exercise has never been an issue. Cutting out processed foods, especially sugar and refined carbs, as well as extra carbs in general has made all the difference! I love interval training!
