When they realize the girl has a vine growing out of her, and the guy goes "don't worry, I got it out." The girl's like "Nooo, it's still inside me!" "Don't worry chicken fillet, I got it all off." "No you didn't! It's still there, waiting to invade your hips!" "AAAH!" Nice to know though! Yeah, it's not marinaded--they…

But if I use a few napkins and squeeze the chicken, do I get most of the oil off, or is most of it still in the chicken? Lol, this is like that Ruins movie, with the vines.

So, I'm back in school. My cafeteria is pretty cool about offering decently healthy dishes, but there is one sticking point for me: their grilled chicken fillets. They aren't drenched in oil, but they definitely have some on them. The caf using a blend of olive and canola, with no trans fats, so it's not the worst of the…

"Chocolate cake for breakfast, spinach for dinner!" Anyone heard of it? I'm very fond of this little book. I wrote a review of it here: http://damnthefreshman15.blogspot.com/

Lol, I'm in college, in San Francisco, so let's just say I'm totally up for the occasional hookah! Actually, I'm more likely to accept a hookah invitation than a drinking one--no calories! As for, ahem, not as widely accepted plants, they don't give me the munchies, so I don't worry about becoming a binge monster. Some of…

So, I've come to the conclusion I don't really care about raw pounds anymore. I care more about body composition. Right now, my body fat is too high, even though (by most standards) I'm no longer overweight. So I want to gain more lean muscle and burn more fat. Yes, I mix cardio and strength. I'm considering adding a…

How on god's green earth does one consume 3,400 mg's of potassium every day? Let's see--I had a banana at breakfast, a tangerine as a snack, 5 cups of spinach over the course of the day, along with carrots and cucumbers and other saladish veggies...and I'm nowhere near 3,400! What must I do? It seems like potassium is…

It's SO GOOD. I toss in a bit of fruit too!

Nightwish: "The Poet and the Pendulum," "Gethsemane" Kamelot: "Center of the Universe," "The Fourth Legacy" Mulan Soundtrack: "I'll Make a Man Out of You." Corner Stone Cues: "Frigga" <-- eh, quasi-instrumental. It has background vocals. But it is a PUMPER.

Oh goodness, there's a girl just like that at my gym! I think others just think she's super thin, but I've seen enough anorexic girls to know that this girl has a problem. Her joints have that whole disproportionately-bulgy thing going on, and you can tell her cheekbones aren't meant to be that prominent. Not to mention…

Whew, back in college. I'm still on my quest to raise my calorie levels. I've been able to preeetty consistently hit the 1200's, but I think I should be closer to 1400 (1350ish, let's say). I need to get my metabolism up and pumping! I do cardio and weights, but I know I need to eat more. It's soooooo silly. I've scuba…

For all you students out there, here is what I keep my dorm pantry stocked with. http://damnthefreshman15.blogspot.com/2009/01/seedy-pantry-of-college-student.html Anyone want to share further fooding ideas?

I was listening to Jillian Michael's radio show, and she was like "Yeah, late night snacks are fine as long as they don't contain much in way of carbs or sugar, because the insulin rise will stall the release of growth hormone and the stuff that controls weightloss. I have no doubt Jillian is right, because she's frickin'…

Yeah! It was hilarious! The best part was "SHUT THE *kitten* UP JOELLE!!!"

I got a veggie burger from the cafeteria, but instead of a bun I had it on two pieces of wheat bread. It was a pretty average looking veggie burger. I see that MFP has an entry for a Burger King cheeseless/mayoless veggie burger. Would this most likely be close to my veggie burger? I just put tomatoes, onions, cucumber,…

Yeah, Jillian's erupted into bouts of profanity PLENTY of times. Bob's explosion just got publicized because he's the calm, encouraging one. But I'd have to take Jillian. I have a passive-aggressive streak, and over time I can trick almost anyone into believing what my limits are. It's subconscious. With Jillian, it…

Well, not including "OMG CLASS STARTS IN 6 MINUTES!" ragged sprints and the occasional gym class. The other day, I ran outside. And I liked it! This groundbreaking account can be found here: http://damnthefreshman15.blogspot.com/2009/01/mountains-of-madness-running-in-sf.html

What gets me is when I compare the stuff in the "Nature's Market" section with that in the regular. Normally I just grab all the best regular items and drag them over to the Nature section, then ditch whichever loses.

Have any of you seen those Starbucks Tasting Squares? 3 kinds of chocolate, individually wrapped. They are about 25 calories each, with 16 pieces per box. I luff them! Oh! Another thing I do is get those Dagoba bars and break them along the the little trenches, so I have pre-portioned chocolate ready for when I just want…

IHop. A big, goddamn platter of pancakes slathered in syrup, fruit, and whipped cream. Paired with hash browns baptized in ketchup, and sausage links. And coffee with three cream cups! -curls up and cries-

I spritz with PAM, then sprinkle on some cinnamon. YUM. I have a friend who likes to add chocolate chips. I suppose caramel and toffee chips would also work. What about coconut? Raisins? Oooohh..I'm getting ideas!

I'm a night owl, so late night snacks are part of my lifestyle. However, I am in control of them--no late night ice cream binges. Here are my favorite late night snacks: - Dark chocolate - Almonds - Cocoa - FroYo - Cottage cheese I sleep better with something in my tummy, and my snacks never put me over my allotted…

Fitness Chick, I love you! And one thing I've realized--once I cleared away all the gunk and junk...I realized that real food is AWESOME. I almost never ate veggies...like, I'd flip over the idea of a SALAD for lunch. Then I realized that a vegetable tastes even better without butter, and that a salad can be a cornucopia…

French fries. I used to eat them almost everyday. See, fries represent a lot more than food to me. They were what I remember eating when my grandpa would pick me up from school. When my parents were divorcing, or when I was going through the emotional tedium of changing houses and having to play middleman, I'd walk over to…

I LOVE Kashi. They rock my world. Kashi GoLean cereal is awesome. Annnnd they send me free stuff, since I signed up on their website. I just got their Soft-Bake cereal bar. Haven't tried it yet, but it looks yummy.

Good news, sweets! I think you might have been looking at the dry weight amount. Like, a cup of dried pasta might equal 400 (though that still seems a bit high) whereas an average cup of cooked pasta is around 200.

What's more memorable? The dingy pond outside your bedroom window or the frothy shores of your summer home? You can eat everything you mentioned...just in moderation. And savor every last bite! For so many years I inhaled food, enjoying the sensation of eating more than the food itself. And I HATED myself for it--for how…

Hey guys! Who else gets bored silly when at the gym and on the elliptical/bike/treadmill? I might have found a solution! Watching Disney movies. I'm not kidding. It's entertaining and gives me some equivalent to a runner's high! http://damnthefreshman15.blogspot.com/2009/01/cardio-house-of-mouse-style.html

Ugggh So I went to pick my car up from the shop, after having been clothes shopping. I'd left the house on a light snack, expecting to eat lunch around 2:30ish. But they have to tinker with my car more, and I'm just now sitting down to food (it's about 5). I think my metabolism is messed up. I'd been getting little hunger…

AAAAH! Classes start Monday! I'm currently having a tearful goodbye with my stove and oven. They are such devoted friends, always making sure my healthy, fresh food tastes even better. But I'm excited about seeing my school's cafeteria again. It's very health-conscious, and the manager emailed me to say they've started…
