You should try some dessert recipes that call for silken tofu, like vegan pumpkin pie. That can be a good way to ease into it, too. The trick for getting it into stir frys imo, is to make sure the pieces are tiny, like 1cm thick at the largest. Like amcut said freezing can help, just gotta get nice firm tofu. Sautee in wok with the oil/whatever you’re using for sauce so it browns and cooks and add other ingredients as needed. Just like if you were using meat, you’d brown it in the pan with the flavorings first (or at least that’s MY philosophy https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif ). Then it cooks longer than anything else in the pan and by the time the noodles or rice are cooked it’s got a texture more appropriate for a protein. Read: not gooey. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif
i’m going to try again…I bought some extra firm cubed…threw it in the freezer last night. gonna thaw it for tomorrow’s "attempt" lol Here’s hoping b/c I really do want to incorporate it into my diet!
My mother-in-law is also a breast cancer survior and she has to stay away from soy too! I wouldn’t know what to do if I couldn’t eat anything that was soy based!!

It really depends on the day! If I haven’t been on the pole in a few days I might have to wipe after every other move…but if I practiced the day before then sometimes I never have to wipe it down….unless I’m working on a new move in which case it’s like every five seconds lol

Then do you have tips on cooking tofu…although I’m a veggie I have yet to cook or eat a piece of tofu that I like! I’m a big "texture" person and can’t seem to get over the slimy feel of it. I am constantly trying new recipes that involve tofu…but I don’t know if it’s something that i’m doing (or not doing)…that just dosen’t appeal to me. I tried a recipe for baked tofu the other night. I pressed the tofu and marinated it over night..cooked it like the recipe said and it still had that super mushy soft center…which I could not handle! lol
I have another one on the list to try this week but I’m getting to a point where I’m almost done trying….help anyone!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif

I personally like how the PS pole (removable) spins better than the x-pole! With that being said…I HATE stainless steel poles!
You had bad customer service from X-pole????? That’s a shock! They have always been fantastic! Now from what I hear about PS customer support….you get better service talking to a wall! LOL I have never heard any good things about their customer service…I could be wrong but… https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif

These pancake recipes looks great…I must try them this weekend! I’m trying to get my whole family eating more clean! I can’t wait for my new cook book to get here so I can try some of Tosca’s "kid friendly" fare!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

I lost all 90 lbs of my preggo weight plus another 10lbs…the only exercise that I do is pole! If you want to lose the weight you have to change BOTH your diet and exercise….but honestly I think diet has more to weightloss. How and What you eat effect how or if you will lose weight. I’ve recently been introduced to clean eating and it emphasises diet rather than exercise as the means to losing weight or getting cut! I haven’t stepped on the scale since I started but I’m sure I’ve lost a few pounds…here’s hoping!!
Pole dancing is a fun way to burn some calories…I can spend hours on end dancing! You forget that you are even exercising!!

I’ll give the grilled cheese a go…but I thought spreads and stuff were a big no-no?? I’m fairly new to the whole EC game so please correct me….I mean If I could have had my toast with some buttery spray vs nothing..then I would have done that!! LMAO!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

Hey Roxy….it supports HEALTHY eating and CLEAN eating. The difference between the two are to just stay fit and healthy…and clean is for that as well as sculpting the body…building muscle. It covers everything!! Also since your into "clean" eating you might be interested in Tosco Reno’s Clean eating cookbook…she has the most awesome tasty recipes for clean eating and a lot of great tips!! The woman is almost 50 and she’s INCREDIBLE!!!
TY Lilbit! I have Tosca’s books (got the new Recharged and cookbook and log journals) I just ordered her family and kids book. She has some amazing recipes!!

Ok….since there are so many people here that are trying to either lose wt or maintain it….thought I would throw this out there. I belong to a website that is FREE!!! I know the owners and have been with them since they started the site. It is for health and fitness. You can track your meals, your workouts, get info and support…it is an AWESOME site! They also have a free get started program. A lot of bodybuilders are members on there as well and can help you, as well as other professionals…and then there are of course people like me and you…just everyday folk. There are some pretty amazing people on there. Nancy lost a huge amount of wt by learning how to eat right and exercise…her story is featured along with others…she was even interviewed and published in Oxygen Magi zine last year!! Anywho here’s the site!! mybodysite.com you can visit my page I’m litlbit.
I assume since it was featured in Oxygen mag it focuses on clean eating??? Just wondering being cuz I’ve joined the CE bandwagon!!

how long has the routines dvd been out? its the first one, does anyone know if she is going to come out with a ton of em (like the AOP series)? I’m debating on waiting for them to all come out but i doubt i’ll be able to wait that long… I have another question too… i added her as a friend on fb and the main page said not to order from her sites or stores until everything is cleared up with her soon to be exhusband who has taken over all her accts and changed passwords and stuff. Does anyone know if thats been resolved? I would hate to order it and her not get any profit from it and her jerk ex get it.
I think you are getting Jamilla confused with Felix…it was Felix that put out the stuff saying not to order from her site etc… https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

I gained 90 lbs with my pregnancy and then worked my tail off to lose it…so he said if I could do it with 90 lbs…then I could do it with another 10lbs. So as off today I put on 90lbs and lost 100lbs!! WOOT!

Good luch with the HCG shots Georgia! I’ve known a few people who have used them and successfully lost weight! I thought about it and even talked to my dr but he wouldn’t give them to me because my BMI is with in the "healthy" range (the high end)….plus he said you’ve already lost 90 you can lose 10 more on your own…I was pissed…but he was right. I can’t wait to see your before and after pics!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif
