I was raised in the French language so for me, instead of saying oui (yes) I would say i (e), I would also call a vache (cow) yash

I like this one, it is simple and effective. You want to entice customers and have them understand what you offer when they are browsing the phone book. What about something like ( insert city, neighborhood name or street name) - personal training and nutrition center?

bread and peanut butter or cheese, plain yogurt and frozen berries, whole fruits, almonds, kashi granola bars once every few months, vegetables, tuna pack with crackers (sometimes). I sometimes bring oatmeal and dried cranberries mixed with powder milk in a container and I can add water when I find a microwave or kettle.

We make adas polo very often. It is a Persian dish made of rice and brown lentils with dried raisins or dates. You can also add ground beef or lamb with turmeric to it. It is easy and quick to make. I am not inserting a recipe here because mine is in a real book but if you are interested and cannot find a good one online…

knowledge is one thing; willpower, commitment/dedication, and personal history are other things. Show me that you know your stuff, then I don't care if your shoes/car/body/whatever are not perfectly looking

A little rock bounced in the light of my car on the highway and made a hole. Transparent duct tape fixed it. It was a car in perfect condition except for that little patch so it was kinda funny. It lasted for about 6 months until somebody did not stop at their red light and totaled my car.

I remember something else too. If you are attending a mixer at night you can get a sparkling water. For some reasons, people find it fancy enough to accept it in social situation. I also fooled the crowd once at a conference mixer by taking a small plastic cup and filling it with tap water. They thought I had vodka while I…

I used to travel a lot for work too. You can have baked fish, steamed vegetables, salads without dressing but be careful, some places add lots of nuts and dried cranberries and it becomes a huge mess! At the buffet, go for vegetables, the salad bar, the lentil soups, the baked fish platters. Sushi rolls are good too. With…

winner!

haha, that reminds me of my brother at that age. A cereal bowl was the entire bag with the entire milk container in a large mixing bowl, any recipes my mom would cook for the week were gone overnight. She would prepare large containers of tortellinis or various stew and leave them in the fridge for him. I suggest you do…

did you forget to add onions?

it proves you have real olive oil and not something else sold in its place :)

When I had my wisdom teeth removed my mom forced me to eat the same food as the rest of the family but she processed my share in the blender, meat with broth, vegetables, fruits. Everything! Some mixtures were quite weird or had funny colors but she was afraid I would lack proper nutrition if I only ate ice cream for 2…

I am going to experiment with that tomorrow morning. I use an organic PB that is quite soft at room temperature so I think I will not have problem mixing both after the oatmeal is cooked.

wow, what a story! thanks for posting it.

pack as if you would go camping: fruits, cans of tuna, sardines, cans of bean salad, vegetables, some granola bars, dried fruits and nuts, pita bread, you can always stop at grocery stores along the way and buy a rotisserie chicken and pita, you can keep the other half in your cooler for the next meal. We try to avoid food…

Then bring somebody from outside who's just going to be there in the room with you. There is no reason at all to let yourself be abused verbally. If bringing somebody else is impossible, if things gets ugly you are 100% in your right to leave the room and/or say that yelling (or whatever else) is verbal abuse and you are…

If you think your boss is going to be mad, yell or exhibit other abusive behavior then bring somebody else with you when you make your announcement (HR or other boss).

another idea, you can cook batches of whatever you like (stew, soup, etc.) and freeze them in individual portions. That way, you can always get something healthy out of the freezer.

my mom used to roast her own granola in the oven using oatmeal, nuts, some seeds, not much sugar, etc. If it interests you, I am sure you could find some recipes online that you can modify with what you have locally. It can be kept forever in air tight jars (or in the freezer?). The good thing with granola is that you can…

il y a beaucoup de gens qui parlent français ici :) tu peux m'ajouter comme amie si tu veux. J'ai eu un parcours semblable au tien. je ne suis pas toujours un exemple à suivre (gâteau, sirop d'érable, etc.) mais j'aime encourager les gens à attendre leurs objectifs. ne t'inquiète pas, ton anglais est excellent :)

have you thought about using some leg makeup or dermablend to attenuate it?

http://www.pbrc.edu/research-and-faculty/calculators/weight-loss-predictor/ have a look at this link

how much weight are you gaining and over how many days?

I had the Garfield one with a thermos inside :)

I sometime make an espresso and add 1 cup of milk and warm everything up. That's the only way I will drink milk in the day. I used to put a cube of sugar in it but stopped after a while. I am thinking one morning I will try to add a little bit of molasses, just to see how it tastes.

I suggest you look at soscuisine.com they offer meal plans following all the guidelines from many governmental and health agencies. If you follow one of their plans, you are sure to have all the recommended minimum and you are always free to add more or to substitute some meals by others from their database.

Try brown rice and quinoa

this^ ! smaller fish are less contaminated and better for the environment. They taste delicious too. If you find them too ugly looking, you can pay a little extra and get the skinned/boned ones. You will not get as much calcium but it is a good way to get used to them.

There was a small device my mom would use in the winter to transform her bicycle into a stationary bicycle. You install that under the back wheel and you can pedal on the spot. search Magnet Steel Bike Bicycle Indoor Exercise Trainer Stand on amazon, I am not recommending any product in particular but they are cheap and…
