Language barrier that was endearing at first became too much over time.

Plastic surgery: Yes and no. Had a deviated septum so they fixed it to open up my breathing. The side effect is that it also looks better but it wasn't "plastic surgery" for appearance per se. Have you ever ridden a bike more than 50 miles?

Pickles are a great salty snack ESPECIALLY if you can get them from a real deli vs. in a jar. The deli ones are much crisper and fresher. I like curtido, which is Salvadoran coleslaw made without mayo so it's got almost no calories but is nice and salty. @kommodevaran: I can relate. When I was a kid my uncle, who is a…

I'm not a super fan of raw vegetables but found that I can find a way to cook most of them that makes them very tasty. If you like fruit, start with the sweeter vegetables like tomatoes (technically a fruit), carrots, sweet potatoes, and beets. I've read that you have to eat a food you don't like 7-8 times to acquire a…

Hi, my diary is open (I think). Not 100% vegetarian but lean that way.

Love it Avocados

When I have a slow period at work I use the time to study some new skill that will make me better at my current job (or a future one). There are tons of online courses that are free or very cheap to improve skills. I used the last downtime I had at work to study for my ITIL certification exam (I.T. people will know what…

If I burn 800 or more calories exercising, I'll use some of them towards eating more. If it's 500 or less, then I don't. 500-800 depends on how hungry I am :smiley:

Last night I was craving Mexican food but am trying to be healthier so stopped at the Mexican market and bought sopes (handmade corn tortillas shaped like small cups) then threw chopped carrots, bell pepper, onion, and cherry tomatoes and a chipotle pepper in a pan with a bit of olive oil, salt and pepper and cooked the…

Shut Up and Drive -- Rihanna

Bagel for breakfast Should have bought some fresh salmon I guess next time then

Congratulations! That must have required an extraordinary amount of dedication and hard work.

Thanks all. @Wishfuljune the swimming is a great idea--I love swimming as it seems to relax your entire body afterwards. I agree the weight program needs to be upped a bit--it's mostly two full body weight workouts for 45 minutes--the problem is I would just rather be OUTSIDE than inside a gym. Might look into one of the…

Simple dinner I have at least twice a week: Fresh veggies: Zucchini Yellow Squash Carrots Bell pepper Onion Spinach 4 tbsp. Soyrizo vegetarian chorizo Slice veggies fajita style and grill in pan with 1 tbsp olive oil until either soft or slightly crunchy, depending how you like them. Season with salt, pepper and chipotle…

I say naughty only because EVERYONE is naughty, some are just more secretive about it than others.

My all time favorite meal is seared Ahi tuna. Fortunately, it's pretty healthy (other than the mercury :smile: ). For cheat meals, though, I love any kind of pasta and sauce and/or burritos.
