Ok, i posted this in yesterdays thread.. so here is what I meant to post here! Good Wednesday morning to you all!! Ok, so the delio is that yesterday, I went to the gym after work, rode the bike for 40 minutes, then spend 20 mins on the free weight area, working triceps. Ran home, prepped a salad and stored it for later,…

veggies, spread, on anything. I put it on my no-bread buffalo burger patty! I also make my own hummus, and I add things like roasted peppers to the puree. YUM!

hey xsargex, is it frozen? I have never seen ground turkey at Costco... Dammit, not ANOTHER trip to costco?!?!...

I definately have my days! With my hubby deployed for a year, I HAVE to keep myself busy, or I start looking to food that I MUST eat! lol Perhaps you just need to find a new direction to look, instead of the cornbread? When I am home... and the kitchen calls me (and it does, I swear!)... I go to the gym.

You are a ROCK STAR!!!! :drinker:

LOL! Dear Sadie (1 of my cats): why is kneeding my armpits or belly fat so appealing to you, and why must you do it everynight for 30 minutes? Dear Simon (my other cat, and a mainecoon): why is it that you have to sleep next/on my face, so that my nose cannot escape your fur and i get my own hairballs in the morning....…

Good Wednesday morning to you all!! Ok, so the delio is that yesterday, I went to the gym after work, rode the bike for 40 minutes, then spend 20 mins on the free weight area, working triceps. Ran home, prepped a salad and stored it for later, jumped in my car and raced back to work where I met up with a coworker (doctor)…

I use that mix and add sliced celery and diced bell pepper!

Darnit! A day late (and a dollar short?) Ok, so my goal is to drop 8 lbs by the deadline and to run 2 miles with my dog (along with my normal workout routine) 4 times a week. Right now, I am jog/walking.... I want to run it all!!! Ohh.. and to bench press 80 lbs (I am at 70 now) Goal: Lose 8 lbs Goal: Run 2 miles Goal:…

Are we talking tall or venti? :tongue: I don't see why a tall, after a good run (not around the block, lol) would be too bad. I stear clear of the chocolate part usually, but i don't deny myself once in a while. Post races (sprint tri's and cycling races), I will allow myself a recovery treat like that, but not for regular…

YAY!!!! Congratulations on your success and keep it up!!! :drinker:

It is fattening, but that is where the whole "good fat/bad fat" and moderation come into play. Nuts provide a healthy fat, the kid our body needs to function, and in fact what we need for our brains to make the thought process work. I don't eat a lot of nut butters, but when i do, I usually go for almond butter or peanut…

You seem to be getting into the right exercise mindset, so that is a sure bet to help you reach your goals! Let me make a recomendation. Keep…

I think Quinoa is a little nutty, but most think that is is pretty bland, however, if you are comparing it to rice, then I am not sure you will have any problem with it. I do cook mine with stock. So I would recommend that you use a low sodium/fat vegetable, chicken or beef stock for a little kick. i also spice mine during…

I usually get mine at the Whole Foods or Sun Harvest markets in bulk. I go through quite a bit of Quinoa and Lentils on a weekly basis (ok, perhpas a cup of cooked each a week). I love both as a staple for natural fiber and some protein. I cook then in chicken stock that I have made and skimmed and season it differently…

That had potential to be a great, team-building experience with positive and lasting results! Good luck to all teams!!!!

First, let me say that I am not a medical provider, so the following stems from experience, not medical advise! If you are new to the increased addition of fruits and vegetables in your diet, then yes, you can make your tummy upset. The feeling shoudl disperse as the contents leave your stomach and move lower in your…

LOL.. I WISH fat would migrate up to my boobs! You are gaining muscle on your lower half and still losing fat (which is why your waist is getting smaller but your butt/thighs may be "gaining"). Don't worry! With time your body will begin to lose the layer of fat all over and things will even out! I always pack on muscle…

Working your abs, as Mojomcgee has suggested is the best way to hepl tighten your muscles. Remember though, that extra skin, after a certain age doesn't have the elasticity factor that it once did. major weight loss and post birth "loose skin" may never go away. I lost alot of weight a few years ago, and although much of…

I wasn't sugesting that you don't absorb the calories when you eat too much protein. Calories in are calories in. I will look up information on absorption rate for protein and get back to this post, but I was given information by a doctor who is/was also a competative bodybuilder about absorption of protein for the purpose…

can you cook? (or are you at work?) You can cook up egg whites (or a mix of whites plus 1 egg) in the morning, or add a protein shake if you can't prep food At diner you could add 3-5 oz of chicken/turkey breast or a buffalo patty (leaner than beef) Ileana
