I am not an expert by any means! But I will tell you the little bit I heard on a TV show once... The person explaining dreams said that someone who dies in their dreams may be putting something from their past behind them. They have come to terms with something and are ready to move on... They said although the dream is…

You could try eating a gluten free diet for 2 weeks and see if you feel better... If you have a problem with gluten, it probably won't take long to feel better. I would recommend during your test period, to leave out all those processed gluten free foods. There can be other things in these foods that are a trigger for you.…

Thanks for the feedback about the race! I really need to start working on my upper body strength so I can conquer the obstacles! I just checked out the Zombie 5k and it looks like so much fun! You must have had a blast!

Congratulations!!! Especially on completing every obstacle! Looking forward to seeing your pictures!

Congratulations!!! That is so great!

The rugged maniac looks a lot like the warrior dash! I'm sure you are going to have a great time! Be sure to post how it went! And pictures if possible!

I just got an email newsletter from the Primal Blueprint this morning that listed the nuts: macadamias, walnuts, cashews, almonds, pecans, brazil nuts, pistachios, hazelnuts; pumpkin, squash, and sunflower seeds. It was not real specific as to how much you can have, but you wouldn't want to overload on them. The short…

I took a quick look at your diary and have a few suggestions... Keep in mind, I am clearly not an expert, but these are things I notice that work for me. I see that you generally do not eat a lot of protein at breakfast and lunch - I think you could use more meat - specifically red meat. Limit processed foods - Laughing…

Yikes! That is a huge increase! I am only on the first week... Today I had planned to run, but all my walking before starting this program has given me some blisters (I've been walking for about 1.5 hours each day). I decided to splurge on really good socks and got some stuff to cushion the blisters. From my previous…

I don't usually do this, but I found this really cute pair of jeans that were too small, but I really wanted them! I bought them and 6 months later they fit! You are going to have a great time wearing all those new clothes before you know it!

The one thing I am having a problem with is how to get my caffeine each day... being back in school again, I sort of rely on it for focus and alertness. I used to drink energy drinks (Red Bull), but obviously that is out... I thought about tea, but I can't drink black tea without sugar - just don't like it. I thought I…

I found lots of links to forums where others with gluten issues share their experiences and most seem to feel they are much better in 6 months. I did find a site where a doctor talked about how long it actually takes and why. Granted, he was specifically talking about a 50 year old and I am guessing the younger you are,…

I love my running skirts! they have fitted shorts under the skirt (sort of like compression shorts but not really). I used to have the "rub" issue and it is painful! And I agree with the recommendation for body glide if you can't find the right shorts!

I would ask at your grocery store if they have them... seems odd that they would have the other parts but no wings :noway: I deep fry my wings (no breading or coating of any kind) - then coat in buffalo sauce (I currently buy this, but need to work on creating my own recipe) - then throw them on the grill... YUM!

Today was my first day too! That is so great that you are going to be doing this with your daughter! We can do this!

1) Where you are at in your running program (i.e. Week/Day)? - Week 1/Day 1 (today was first day!) 2) What days do you do your running? - Mon, Wed, Fri 3) Why you are doing the program? - I used to run and want to get back into it 4) Overall fitness goal? - To get stronger and healthier ...and the fun one 5) A random fact…

At a work event, we were out with a large group of our doctors and the foods they were eating were total crap. When one of my co-workers said something about expecting doctors to know better, they replied... that's what Lipitor is for! Most doctor's aren't going to do studies on healthy eating such as paleo and primal…

I'm thinking about doing the Warrior Dash in May... If I'm not ready, I might try the one in SC in the fall.

I'm in Apex - just outside of Raleigh.

WOW! That looks really great! Thanks for sharing this.

I haven't seen any threads attacking vegetarians or vegans... Yet they eliminate what many people consider important.... meat and other animal products. Years ago they were put down for their way of eating, but now, most people see this as an acceptable choice. I have to eliminate almost all grains because I am allergic,…

I usually walk or hike and am trying to work up to running again. But if I can't get outside, I will use my Wii Fit.

Starting weight 166 12 week goal 150 I am going to a wedding in June and would like to be able to wear some of those great clothes hanging in my closet! If I buy a new outfit for the wedding, I want it to be because I want to - not because I can't find anything that fits!

I have been on Norwegian a few times! Like most of the major cruise lines, they have a really wide variety of food to choose from. If you are looking for healthy food, you will have a lot to choose from. The trick will be to stop eating when full :laugh: If you go to the buffet and see something you like, but say it has a…

I am just getting started on this forum, but I am low carb and leaning towards primal. I can use all the support I can get! Any of you can add me too!

I heard recently that the reason green tea can taste bitter is because the water is too hot. if it is only heated to 160 degrees, it should have a much more pleasant flavor... I'm going to give this a try because I like most tea, but can't seem to drink green!

I love making yogurt - it just tastes so good! I agree with others that suggest using powdered milk - helps to thicken it up a little. I have never tried to add protein powder, so I don't know how that will work. I have tried adding other things over the years such as fruit or vanilla. The yogurt never seemed to set up…
