give me a second. ive got a recipe around here somewhere and they are so yummy even my little kids like them ;)

The only way I can ever do a sensible portion of something like this (ie: half a bagel) is by throwing the other half in the trash immediately. Otherwise, well, it starts out as good intentions, and ends up a whole bagel in my stomach, LOL For me, it was easier to be the outcast who stayed at her desk while everyone else…

oh ya, and not that this will help when the boss brings in a bag of bagels, but i get by with Bagel Thins and Smart Bagels. They are those super thin bagels, a whopping hundred calories. Maybe bring a bag to work with you and leave it at your desk so you can grab one when everyone else is chowing down on the big thick…

LOL I couldn't believe it either. It was great til I packed on 20# in the first year working here. Glad I work from home now. Easy to avoid that way! LOLOL

.......... om nom nom nom nom nom nommmmmmmm LOL

yes ma'am. the crappy thing is, its going to stick around for a while. when i go out on long bike rides, i will retain about 5# of water weight for 4-6 DAYS! You'd think that would encourage me to drink more water to help with the retention, but old habits are hard to break, LOL

Good ol' fashion will power. My employer provides bagels every Friday and I had to stop allowing myself to mill around when they came in otherwise I'd find a reason to meander over to the table and grab one...or TWO! wtf? They also do 'beer bash friday', where every friday, they bring in gobs of awesome food and beer! Had…

My newest love is water with lemon or lime squeezed into it. I read in several glycemic load books that sour stuff lowers the rate that your blood sugar spikes. If your blood sugar isn't spiking as quickly, your insulin isn't being pumped out as quickly, and your fat storage process slows down. Nifty trick! And all these…

LOL ya know??? I have found, and don't shoot me for this, but if I have a couple slices of pizza the night before a long ride, I can go out there and kick *kitten* for miles and miles and miles. It's nice, because it's the only time I can eat pizza guilt-free. I *think* I burn off two slices by the time I've completed 65+…

Pre: Oatmeal with nuts or PBJ Post: Chocolate milk Chocolate milk has the perfect carbs to protein ratio for recovery after an intense workout. Yay!

Hahahahaaa!!!

LMFAO!!!! ^ WTF??? hahahahaaa

This is the second thread Ive read this morning about jerks sending nasty messages to members, insulting them, etc. It's friggin ridiculous that people can't come here and post without some asshat sending them nasty messages for no reason other than pure, unadulterated jealousy. Personally, the fit folks around here…

I'd get a Polar HRM and watch. Polar is the industry standard for accuracy. If you're 172# and did the 30DS, you most definitely burned more than 50 calories, LOL That's a TOUGH workout!

Shoot.....I thought I had a Polar F6. It doesn't have the model number on it so I googled "women's pink polar HRM" and the F6 looked like what I have. Turns out, I should have kept looking. What I actually have is the women's polar F11. Derrrrrr!!!!!! LOL

Hey Shar,check this out. It's the explanation straight from the Polar product support page ;) http://www.polar.fi/en/support/product_support?document=/gip/PKBStoGIP.nsf/LINK/xDFF4AF0211B9FC3F4225681F005FAE09?OpenDocument And if you want a less detailed description, this also came from the Polar product support page: Polar…

My favorite body part is on my fiance....uh huh huh huh huh huh.....

OK guys, so I went for a neighborhood walk/jog with the kids tonight while they rode around on their bikes. Brought along the Polar and the BB. Results: Duration: 1:00:02 Average HR: 55% Max HR: 81% Polar calories burned: 339 BodyBugg calories burned: 360 MFP calories burned: 352 So you can see, in an event that ISN'T…

THAT is the best flippin idea EVAR!!! Oh hell to the ya! Thanks! :)

Clean eating is a lifestyle, not just a phrase I made up. LOL Whole foods, organic meats and veggies, and little else. I'm not aiming for 100% clean because then I'd be 50% miserable, but I am always looking for ways to healthy-up my old favorites, one of them being chips and salsa. I make my own salsa and it kicks…

i like dips and i like hummus, but i like preparing ONE snack for both me and my fiance to nibble on and he doesnt like dips or hummus. DOH! now we both have food dehydrators, and zucchini and cuke chips sounds awesome and closer to what i was trying to replace the standard 'chips' with.....something a little more close to…

What I am aiming for is clean eating ;)

lol i just realized after looking at two different recipes on that website i just linked to, that it's gracious pantry, the same site mentioned in an earlier post. sheesh, i think i left my brain upstairs this morning :D

you hit the nail on the head. im still trying to get my head wrapped around 'whole grain' 'whole wheat' and the differences between them. LOL Apparently, 'whole wheat' is 'whole grain', being that wheat is a grain, and if the wheat is whole, it's whole wheat/whole grain. Which is just fine by me, because look what i just…

ok, now this is going to sound really stupid, but corn tortillas are considered a whole grain product? i dont do a lot of corn around here because my daughter has an allergy (what the hell, right? lol it's confirmed with an allergen test but i had never heard of a corn allergy before, sheesh!), so when im reading about my…

ooh, also, try adding in some ginger....either grate about a tsp of it into the smoothie, or if you have a juicer, juice the ginger and add about 1/2 tsp of the extracted juice to your smoothie. Ginger is great for gastro issues, and it adds a really nice zing to the flavor of your smoothie. You can also try throwing in…

Interestingly enough, when they botched my gallbladder removal and I was on bedrest for two months while my body healed itself, green smoothies were a staple for me. My digestion is all wonky post surgery as well. Sometimes bananas throw me through a tizzy. Maybe you can try an avocado for that nice creamy smooth texture…

Ah, well that is good to know :) Well, I suppose I shall stick to my Garmin for cadence training and mile tracking (and knowing where the heck I'm supposed to turn, lmao), the Polar for my caloric expenditure during training, and my BB to get a good idea of the calories I'm burning doing everything BUT working out. I'm…
