Sorry I disappeared last week. We got our tax return and went a little nuts. Summer clothes for the kids and wife, a new tv and far too many restaurant meals. I finally found a little time to go shopping though and I have a menu plan for this week. Also I got a new book this week. I'm reading the Hunger Games and its…

Hi all, My week was crazy busy and pretty dismal. Its midterms so yuck! I cheated a couple of times this week which is unusual. I generally stick to my food but have trouble exercising. This week it was both. I haven't been to the store yet and ran out of this and that so I was just picking up food in town. I ate french…

Just popping in to say hello everyone. I've been super busy with school this week. I will do my best to lead us to victory in quidditch!

I have three boys(8,6,2) and poop is a favorite topic to them. Personally I've had very healthy friends who's bms were so consistent you could set your watch to them. I however, get constipated more often when I work out. Drinking coffee helps a little.

Hey guys I just read that J.K. Rowling is writing a new book geared for adults. The article says its not Harry Potter related but I let you read for yourself. Link: http://www.themarysue.com/j-k-rowling-new-novel/

So today has been crazy I got up at six with my infant niece and hit the books, homework till 1, cooked everyone lunch, watched the kids while my wife napped, headed for work at 3:30 and I just got home at 12:30 did a half hour of strength training and just sat at the computer. I also just realized I haven't given lottee…

Its my favorite show!! If anyone knows where find it online let me know.

Hi everyone It's hectic here too I've got long hours, tons of homework and my brother's kids are staying over till tomorrow night. So five kids in my tiny house its too crowded. I have done squat this week as far as owls or housepoints. I'll do better next week.

The way you describe your build I think you may be a halfling from D&D. They can be totally badass and so can you. Don't let your glasses stop you from running the race. Get a sports strap and carry a bandana or something to wipe them with or get some contacts if that is an option. I have glasses too and I hadn't…

I found the app and an article that explains it. The app is called Zombie Run! here's the link http://www.geek.com/articles/mobile/zombies-run-iphone-app-will-keep-you-running-literally-20110914/

If you like this post you probably belong in the Geek Squad group here on MFP. It's new but Zombies are a prevalent theme.

I ,heard on NPR there is a new Zombie run app coming out. They said it is basically like interval running with vocal cues as to when to speed up or change direction. It has progressive levels you can beat on your run. I love leveling up my fitness and I hope to get this with my new phone. I'm getting a motorolla photon my…

I haven't had netflix for like a year now but I was surprised no one mentioned Stargate. I watched like 4-5 episodes a day of Atlantis until I had seen them all. Lots of good picks here though, it makes me want to get Netflix again.

Hi my name is Lee and my super power is creative ideas like a mad scientist. If only I could get some plutonium.

I'm a geek add me! worked at a comic shop in high school (I don't collect though) Love table top RPG's MMO's RPG Video Games Sci-Fi Fantasy etc. Also recently joined the nerdfitness rebellion. http://www.nerdfitness.com

I know you said no fast food but I would recommend pizza delivery. I've done it for years and you can make good money. You do have to have a car that is fuel efficient though. You would make a base pay(varies by location), mileage per delivery or percentage of deliveries(also varies), and tips. On an average night I take…

Two things to add here: 1. For all you poo gazers out there I used to work in a bookstore and we sold poop journals. You could use them to track the various aspects of your movements. I hear there are apps for it now but I'm sure the books are still available. 2. In the case of Dr.Oz, I think he is highly paid by…

Hello Everyone, I spent all of yesterday with a stomach virus ugghhh. Needless to say, I got nothing done at all. Today however is much better so hopefully I can get my workouts in. Also in my hysteria I failed to actually post the post I had written yesterday. Basically just wanted to thank you guys for the veggie…

Hello All This has been a tough week for me it. Between my wife's accident, homework piling up, and the possibility of starting a new job I am exhausted. I hope this one is a little better, at least less disorganized. I was week on the sugar challenge and the interval one and I only managed a pound loss. I should probably…

So its been an interesting week so far. My food has been fine as usual but my personal life has been a roller coaster. My wife had an accident on valentines day. She is ok mostly, some bruising from the seat belt but otherwise she is fine. My little RAV4 however has a beat up front end on the driver's side. I really love…

MissKlara - maybe you were eating too little before. You may need the extra calories to keep up with your activity level. I found increasing my calories broke my plateau and let me start moving again. OMG Tae Bo boot camp is super tough! There are at least six sets of pushups and the abs part is really really difficult for…

Decent day today a little strength training and couch to 5k. My wife bought us 7 new workout videos yay! Also for a laugh I will admit this. I didn't have money to buy dumbbells so I found me some nice heavy rocks outside. Those are my weights.

I am shocked to say that I lost 4 lbs this week. I thought I was getting nothing from my intensified workout routine but once I started eating back some of the calories the weight started to drop again. Results for the week are: pounds lost: 4 house points: 330(I've worked harder this week than ever) eating owls: 4 fitness…

Hello, Everyone Long and hectic day today I just got home from work at 1:15am. That's life in the pizza delivery business though. I will be glad when I finish my computer programming degree and can get an actual career. I have four semesters left; less if the classes I need are offered over the summer. Things have been…

Hello, Everyone The scale went up this morning by 3 lbs over night. I decided to take some measurements so I can track them from now on. I've also decided after this weeks weigh in I'm locking the scale in the closet for the week. The stupid thing is stressing me out. I've worked out everyday this week with a 45min cardio…

You might try the sixth Harry Potter book it's gotta at least 6 or 7 pounds!

I had a similar experience a couple of weeks into my diet. My eight year old asked me how many calories was in snack. I just dismissed it he is very active and sick skinny so I encourage him to eat what he wants. He has to feed that metabolism. Of course family dinners are full of healthy foods.

Hello Everyone Weezieishness - So sorry to hear about your grandfather I just wanted to say this starvation mode thing has been confusing me. I not a hundred percent sure that is a problem for me but I read a blog last night that opened my eyes a bit. To preface my scale has refused to move all week this week when I am…

I have a similar problem but for me it's my wife that's super picky. I lighten up a lot of the things we used to eat all the time. Most notably tacos and spaghetti. I use ground turkey rather than beef on both. I have whole wheat noodles and light sauce with the spaghetti and always pick low calorie cheeses made with skim…

I found one on cooking light's website I really like. strawberry cream cheese sandwich -two slices of multi-grain bread -reduced fat cream cheese -sliced strawberries -honey Just smear both pieces of the bread(I use sandwich thins for half the calories) with cream cheese, add a little honey and the sliced strawberries to…
