Yeah, this. Try selling that stuff in a grocery story. Most people are like, "Isn't it faster to just nuke it?" Yes. Yes, it is.

My realization was what you said in #2, meaning that the question is probably answered a million times over in other forums.

I think it's more the pre-workout that had me concerned, although I thought I had read general concerns about the kidneys' ability to process any and all of it... of course, could be woo. As for the why-is-coach-giving-away-expensive-supplements sentiment, I believe it's just getting the kids pumped about gym culture and…

I know, KNOW, for a FACT that keto is AWESOME!!

To look better naked.

Do you add anything to your coffee or tea? If not, it's basically water. So are all consumable liquids, but some have calories. That was a revelation for me that made me feel pretty stupid. I mean, genuinely, what kinds of liquids can we consume? Water and alcohol are the only two that come to mind, and it can't really be…

Kids

You sound like a freakin' superhero. Good on you, mama. Big thanks to everyone for all of the suggestions. Much of it is stuff we already do. This might just be a case of me wanting my cake and the ability to consume it, as well. We do incorporate the kids as much as possible, but the one-year-old is on what we call…

Please, forgive my redundancy.

Ever tried cooking them from scratch? They don't have to be that way, nor do they have to be complicated or time-consuming.

I suppose I should say they're rough enough on me in the cardiovascular department, not in the strength department. While I get a bit fatigued, those HIIT routines tend to be pretty leg-heavy; I'll do them on days that focus more on upper body. With leg day, I'd rather go on a run (before or after) and treat it like a…

I wouldn't be too furious at a five-year-old. You'll look like my dad, who tries to get angry with my son for not knowing table manners. HE'S FIVE!! My son referred to a guy with a prosethetic as having a robot leg. Kids say the darnedest things. Agree with some previous posters. Kid's concerned for you. I don't know what…

I always forget that I have such a narrow definition of HIIT. I do a lot of stuff with FitnessBlender (I'm sure that's like the amateur / idiot's way to get fit, so I'm braced for critique), because it's never not hard enough. I can always push harder, do more active stuff on the "rest" periods, do multiple videos, etc. I…

I have finally returned to strength training as the majority of my work outs (with some steady state cardio and, typically, a small HIIT routine prior to lifting). I took a break from strength training and focused on HIIT. This was cool, because, after a long winter, I could return to running with no issues. However, I…

Pizza, beer, wings, beer, tacos, and beer. Still can't figure out how I got here...

Cheap, *kitten* lagers use adjuncts rather than two-row malt / barley. Budweiser uses rice syrup solids, and I wouldn't be surprised if every domestic lager / pilsner does the same. I've often wondered how Miller Lite goes so low on carbs, yet has alcohol.

I eat a bowl of plain oats every morning. Sucks, but... fiber.

As long as it isn't spiced for pie, my MIL makes a rockin' pumpkin soup with ginger, orange juice, sherry, and lots of other fun. It ultimately is topped with chives and gruyere, and is a fantastic meal on its own.

This.

I feel like anyone who can both stir and chop consistently and accurately is not human. Anyway, I don't have an answer to your original question. My wife is (more or less) vegetarian and abhors fast food of most varieties, so it just became habit for me. Although, it is with me now. I truly can't handle anything from a…

GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!

For my money, caramelized onions make every vegetable taste better.

How'd you know that?! I wound up giving it a couple of weeks completely off. When I reincorporated moves that emphasized the shoulder, I went hilariously low weight until things started feeling good again. I'm actually glad that I returned to using it, but with much lower weight. Thanks to all for the assist!

Eat the fruit. Maybe consider supplementing your diet with a multi-vitamin. Don't eat the vegetables. You can get fiber and nutrients plenty of other ways.

The best advice I ever received is to stay consistent with diet and exercise. Of course, live your life and don't be afraid to have the glass of champagne or the slice of cake or whatever, and life wouldn't be worth living without pizza and beer, but always come back to your plan. The times I've faltered with progress are…

Gonna want a timer on those sprinklers if you're going to start traveling right away. Trust me...

"You know what I would do if I had a million dollars? I would invest half of it in low risk mutual funds and then take the other half over to my friend Asadulah who works in securities..."

Bagels rule and they provide at least a little bit of protein. I think what tops them is key. Personally, just a bit of cream cheese with tomato and avocado is pretty rockin'. Ditto a bit of CC and a bit of bacon. Poppyseed and Everything bagels win! The rest are to suck!

Maintain purity of essence! Neutral grain spirits with freshly fallen rain water! That way, the Commies can't get inside of your mind.
