I find pod casts are a good bet, the right ones tend to be engaging and make the time go by. Plus there are as many out there as there are topics which you might be interested in. And lots are free!

Just started The Sisters Brothers last night. Also listening to The Cellist of Sarajevo in my car.

I don't tend to use a ton of fruit in my smoothies (I go more for the green ones) usually will put a leafy green (kale, collard Greens, etc) some celery, some cucumber, parsley, fresh ginger, half a lemon, and a tablespoon of orange or lemon flavoured fish oil. If I want protein I'll add egg whites or protein powder, water…

You're making me hungry!

I often say I worship at the altar of peanut butter :tongue: I feel like if I had no self control I could easily sit in front of the tv with a spoon and polish off most of a jar. (Especially Jif!)

I'm right there with you sister. Cinnamon rolls and donuts especially!

Breakfast cereal is one of mine. Ice Cream and peanut butter M&M's also make the list.

I drink it daily. I drink it because I enjoy it, but also because numerous studies show health benefits (including weight loss) associated with it. I can't say I have noticed it doing anything, but I figure its like taking a vitamin, the good it does may not necessarily be observed, but its still there :-)

@CaliSweet Hot

@tripmom02 Right back at you, love those glasses. You've got the sexy librarian thing going.

Careful, leaving it up to him might get you in trouble :wink:

Hang

I don't usually think of cats as hot....but that one is totally smoking:happy:

Silver Bells. What, you've never heard of a Mrs. Claus fetish before?

flirt would just be the warm up to the hot affair :wink:

I'm constantly playing with rubberbands. I have them everywhere and when I do laundry I always find a few in the machine afterwards that came from my pockets.

Not my type, but I can see how you'd make a lady very happy :smile:

@vblair77 Well thank you :blushing: I like dark hair and eyes on a girl, so you have got that going on, plus a very nice smile!

I like to mix cinnamon into it. Or it goes pretty unnoticed if you blend it into yogurt. If you like hummus, mix it into some of that and eat with veggies. Yum!

Long hair, and those legs looks great in those jeans:wink:

I don't know that I qualify as low carb (I generally try to get around 120 g a day, sometimes I go a little over, sometimes I'm a little under) but I for the most part don't eat grains, potatoes, or anything too starchy. I'm not quite as concerned about carbs as I am about sugar which I try to limit as much as possible. My…

I say do both, however, don't make the mistake of doing a whole bunch of cardio and then moving on to weights. Warm up for 5 - 10 minutes with cardio, then hit the weights. After doing your weight workout then do your 20 - 30 minutes of cardio. You'll burn more fat this way while saving fuel for building muscle.

Is a bit of a "character" :-)

So my liquid egg whites should be measured by volume then. Good, when I weighed them I grimaced a little at how much I'd have to eat :-)

Thanks! That's what I thought but glad I double checked!

Looks good! I've never seen mojo at the store but will have to seek it out!

One thing you might try as well is a scale that measures weight as well as body fat percentage. They aren't 100% accurate but can give you an idea of trends. If your weight stays the same, but your bf % goes down that is a good indicator that you've lost fat and put on a little muscle. Good luck!

[/quote] HA! Interesting perspective. You've earned my enlightenment, although I didn't feel like posting. Basic rundown: leptin is a cellular signal in adipose (fat) tissue that, when high, signals the brain that the cells are happy and satiated because they have energy. The body likes this - the body wants to have lots…

I've done cheat days pretty regularly and lost, I like that it keeps me disciplined during the week knowing I can have all the stuff I am craving on Saturday. That said, lately my losing has slowed down quite a bit so I think I'm going to adjust and make cheat day maybe just a cheat meal, and rather than once a week do it…
