If it makes you feel any better, I have a "Go Commando" race on June 25th. It sort of snuck up on me because I've been busy working on buying a house, and now packing up my old house, I haven't done a lick of exercise since I signed up. I'm getting a little nervous now, but my wife won't let me back out. It's going to be…

Nirvana is to punk music what Pearl Jam is to classic rock. After I got sick of 80s hair metal, I listened to a lot of Doors, Stones, and Zeppelin before PJ made it big. There's a lot of that classic rock in Pearl Jam, which is why they grabbed me so much I think. I never got into punk, where Nirvana has it's roots, but I…

I'm apparently in the minority because I don't get the Cara hate, and I won't miss Jillian for a second. Good riddance to that shill. Anna is a weird pick, though. Other than ratings, I don't know what she'll bring to the show. Yes, you have to be fit to be a tennis player, and I'm sure she's been going through some…

My favorite band ever is still Pearl Jam (OK, I liked Guns 'n Rose more, but they didn't produce enough music in their short existience). I dig the new Pearl Jam stuff too, and I'm looking forward to Eddie Vedder's solo tour this summer (even if it is ukele music).

I can confirm that I notice. I would never say anything, though. I know it is stupid, but a compliment to someone that they lost weight always sounds like "you looked fat before, but now you look better" in my head. I don't know why I have that complex, but I do. A few summers ago, I lost 30 pounds, and I was complimented…

Awesome tat. If I ever had teh guts to get a tattoo, it would be the stickman. My favorite band ever (missed their last tour but have tickets for Vedder's solo tour this summer). My second favorite is GnR. They made too little music in their prime, but their first four albums never get old.

Here are my only questions, and I don't know the answers: You're only 21, are you planning on having kids? What happens to boobs that have been "adjusted" when you gain and lose baby weight? How do they look? Can you nurse after a boob job? I don't know the answers to any of these questions, so they may or may not be valid…

Lord Andrew Fitzgerald-Marryknoll. That's kind of a mouthful.

Are there any benefits to anyone other than the product producer? From my experience (and I've seen a few. My wife is a sucker for a sales pitch), the downsides far outweigh any perceived benefit.

Don't get me wrong, I despise MLMs. Some are better than others, as far as products go, and Beachbody I'd put above many I've seen in that regard. But, at the same time, Beachbody lost all of my respect when they started seriously pushing the MLM angle.

Pyramid schemes, strictly speaking, offer no real good or service. It's simply a promis of a payoff depending on how many people you can get to sign up. MLM (in this case Beachbody) is offering a legit good which has value. They simply use incentivized word of mouth marketing to move their product. Now, I understand trying…

I love guacamole, but I usually like mine fairly basic. Just avacados, lime juice (a little lime zest if I'm doing fresh), and cilantro. Maybe a dash of garlic power, but it doesn't really need it. The lime juice also helps keep it green if it doesn't all get consumed right away.

I'll give you the same advice I plan on giving my kids when they get to college age: find something you love to do. If you truly enjoy doing it, and do it well enough, the money will follow (FYI, Suze Orman gives the same advice). Life's too short to do something just for the money. I just read an article online about a…

Here's another way to put it: By saying that muscle does not weighs more than fat, you are essentially saying that everything in the world weighs the same (ie, iron and feathers weigh the same). That's a useless statement to make, because it has no meaning. Obviously some things are heavier than others. To communicate…

Three busy kids here too. All three of them are involved in sports year round: 13 year old stepdaughter: fastpitch, soccer, volleyball, basketball (though this is going to slow down when she enters high school in the fall, and will probably only be playing volleyball going forward). 9 year old son: baseball and summer…

It should be a non issue, but I'm not quite sure where there are always threads saying the same thing. Each thread says this (paraphrasing): muscle does not weigh more than fat! 1 pound is 1 pound, BUT muscle is more dense so it takes up less room! Duh, that's what muscle weighing more than fat means, the comment is based…

I've just started doing lo carb this week. I did the old school Atkins several years ago and the pounds melted away, but it wasn't sustainable, and I didn't like a lot of the restrictions. I'm going to try to follow the Primal Blueprint, limited grains, processed carbs, (not sure about beans yet) as I think having the…

Just marking this thread as the Paleo diet has caught my attention recently. Lots of interesting reading here on both sides.

Good posting, and you have some great analogies.

I love how this thread has almost 600 views, but less than 20 replies. :laugh:

I'm no expert, but residential real estate as an investment isn't the rock solid idea it used to be. No one can predict the future, but I've read a lot that says the housing market recovery is going to be slow (once it ever gets going) and we won't see the 10%+ annual appreciation like we did prior to the burst for a long…

I think I can confidently speak for your boyfriend and say he would not be weirded out.

Thanks!

Dangit. Yes, I do mean warrior dash. Stupid going off memory from a whole two hours ago. :grumble: I'll try to find that blog. Thanks! :smile:

There's no substitute for having your ego stroked.

I'll be starting this tomorrow morning. I've does the first month a few times before getting derailed for various reasons, so I know what to expect. It will kick my butt. However, no excuses this time. Gotta trim the fat!

DJ Dozier was a football player for Penn State back in the 80s. He was my first favorite college player.

If you're going to only eat half an egg, just eat the yolk: http://www.cholesterol-and-health.com/Egg_Yolk.html

I agree with what others are saying about the value of the yolk. I think you'd be better off having both yolks, and stop tracking colesterol on a daily basis. As others have pointed out, the link between colesterol consumption and colesterol levels is not conclusive.

I met my wife when we worked together in high school. I was 17, she was 15. It was love at first sight. Well, for me it was. For her, it took some time. I was the "nice guy" in high school, so I was quickly put in the friend zone. We were friends for a long time, through about a half dozen of her boyfriends, a marriage, a…
