I do alot of meal prep on Sunday's for my lunches through the week. Monday's Wednesdays, & Fridays I have rilled chicken breast with 1/2 cup brown rice and 1 cup of steamed broccoli. Depending on the size of the chicken it's about 400 calories and LOTS of protein. Other days of the week will be left overs or whatever I…

No one told me there'd be candy............ The REAL question is.. what you gonna do with it?

Does it matter if you have a Perv Club of America card... and it's laminated for easy cleanup? :*

Half of the lunches through the week are set, Grilled chicken breast with 1/2 cup steamed brown rice and 1 cup steamed broccoli on Monday's, Wednesdays, and Fridays. (Maybe dull, but it works). Tuesdays & Thursdays get varied up and are usually leftovers of some sort from the weekend. This time is home-made chicken…

OMG. You are all amazing! I'm merely riding 22 miles weekly (Saturdays only) for the moment. I can definitely see this group being helpful and inspiring when I start training for the half Iron Man (70.3 miles) in January. :)

I'm running my 2nd half marathon this year in December. Sept 14 I start amping up the training to beat my time from my last one (2hr 20 min). I will be closing out the year starting training for a Half Ironman Nov 2017. I'm terrified and excited about that prospect. Because it scares me, I MUST do it. That sentence is…

TV. Movies lately seem to be remakes of ones 20+ years ago (i.e Ben-hur) the last time you were naked and NOT alone?

I think I'll join in. Why not? I confess:* I can't / won't (not even with a gun held to my head) eat cereal with milk. It must be dry... ALWAYS. * I don't eat sandwiches... of any kind. * I have great disdain for my wife's inability to acknowledge that many of the things that happen to her (and to me by proxy) are a result…

For a long time now, I've been having 1 scoop of protein powder with 1 cup of Soy Slender soy milk, mixed with frozen berries and a Oikos 0 Greek yogurt. Altogether, its 400 calories, 58g of protein, 31g carbs. While not a snack for me (it's my dinner), it's still a high protein - low calorie option.

First, objectively evaluate what you are doing and eating. Determine where you are steering yourself off course and then actively work to get back on course. As someone else pointed out, as you lose large amounts of weight, your calorie requirements do go down, so keep that in mind. Secondly, If running isn't an activity…

The short answer is to just do... then the feeling will come. If you're looking to have that feeling first, it may never come on it's own. You will feel how you act, not the other way around. Start with the small victories... then work your way up to conquering Everest. :) You have a whole host of reasons to do it: for…

First, there's no 1 "magic" exercise that will help you lose fat (regardless of location). Come to the realization that it's a series of alot of exercise repeatedly that will accomplish that. Rather than looking at the whole scope, add those things little by little gradually. As a whole, it can be overwhelming and make you…

I've never had an issue with a "gamey" flavor from turkey..... BUT, with venison and other wild game you can soak the meat in milk or buttermilk for about an hour. You could also use salt water/brine, but some may be watching their sodium intake too..

Congrats @Lord007 on the new distance PR! If you still feel slower/shuffling after adding in some extra calories you might just need to add some core work to build up strength/endurance there to support those long runs.[/quote] I typically run on an empty stomach.. I don't want anything heavy sloshing around. I'll just…

Like so many others have said... go slow.. resist the temptation to push yourself. I tried the C25K as written and got really bad & painful shin splints. I learned 2 things from that 1) Running every other day at a much slower pace is better than spending 1-2 weeks not doing anything because you're hurt 2) shoes are VERY…

I had the same thing when I started. I went to a running store and got fitted properly for REAL running shoes; Asics Kayano's. I freaked over the price tag ($165) for about a day or so after.... until I started running on them... like running on fluffy clouds. It made all the difference in the world. I recommend you do 2…

Funny thing about placebos: if they work consistently, who cares? It achieved the desired result. My wife uses a pre-workout powder. She says it works for her. I've used one and had no noticeable difference. I probably get the same effect she feels just by taking a B12 supplement every morning. Each to their own.
