ha, i got all the questions right on the quiz! thats weirs for me because i suck at multiple choice (i got in to college soley on my charming essay and good grade, the SAT’s were my fatal flaw).
I feel so awkward grocery shopping online, i really need to feel my produce before i buy it, i need to smell the bread, its like a whole expeience, even when your just picking up a carton of eggs and canned beans. but then again i am a chef, so maybe i look at food shopping differently….

Hi. We have a Wii. Some day I am going to get the WiiFit! My son will like it, too. Wish I had time to read more.

Meal Mixer looks like a great resource. OK I get a B on the quiz why am I still fighting the weight. LOL!
Looks by my score I should be right on.

MealMaker sounds fun.

I liked the fruit & veg quiz.

In a bit of a rush, but wanted to stop by!

I tried out that game site with the 7 year old I nanny for and he LOVED it! How exciting! We talk about nutrition a lot and we play ‘Who Wants to Be Healthy’ all the time (a Who Wants to Be a Millionaire style computer game I made).

The ‘Jawbone’ is HOT but as a vegan (or at least as one who aspires to be) I can’t get with it since it uses leather

I’m loving the meal mixer too! Fun Fun!

Thanks for the awesome links,

Meal Mixer sounds very cool! I’ll have to read more about it when I’m at home and have more time.

I also got 8 out of 10 right on the quiz. The whole cups/servings things confuzzled me, too.

As for online grocery shopping, I do purchase a few things online using Amazon’s Subscribe & Save service. That’s how I get my Z-bars and my Rainbow Light vitamins. I also use their grocery service to occasionally donate stuff to a food pantry that a friend of mine in Indiana helps run. Since I’m in southern California, it sure makes it easy and I’m helping a great cause, too.

Pick me! Pick me!

I’m with Rachel – the Meal Mixer is a GREAT idea. And I’m SUPER excited that there will be a version to help those of us who have to cook around food allergies and silly self-imposed restrictions (like no cottage-cheese, yogurt . . . or, like you MizFit – MAYO – it took all I had to not dry heave while typing that word – I can’t even stomach the SOUND of the word!!!).

My husband swears by his HR monitor and credits it to his speedy running pace, but that and a sports bra together make it nearly impossible for me to BREATHE! Somehow after 2 kids my rib cage expanded, but after nursing my cup size shrank, so now I’m an A cup (on a good day!) who needs a Medium width for the ribs – which is nearly impossible to find. Guess I’ll check out Title 9, as they have a great selection and guarantee a fit that works. Maybe they could help with the HR monitor stuff, too.

Happy weekend to you – and you should be getting something in Word format from me soon. I haven’t forgotten you!

Love the Meal Mixer. Looks fabulous.

Haven’t grocery shopped online but this summer I MIGHT. Two kids at the store is my worst nightmare.
As far as the HR monitor, I think it would bug me. I need someone to invent a chest strap/jog bra that does not chaff!

Have a good weekend.

i just don’t like the idea of online shopping because then i wouldn’t be able to see if there was anything new and exciting at the store.

i think i’d feel like an alien hand with that hrm… i don’t really mind the chest strap.

and i wouldn’t buy groceries online… i need the perfect fruits.
