Bacon. I lie to myself to eat it by focusing on the protein and ignoring the sodium and fat.

The thing about me is that I don't have a thing.

Just adding to this. I had the opportunity to do PiYo class the other night, and it was amazing. It goes deeper than Yoga and Pilates. It combines the best of both of those for flexibility training, and incorporates strength training and cardio. I can't wait until Beachbody officially releases it. If yo YouTube Piyo, you…

This. NROLFW is a great book. It covers several lifting program options and nutrition. Body weight strength training is a good start too, I frequently do push ups, squats, and lunges without the weight. You can also check places like Craigslist and even a Salvation Army store to get equipment relatively cheap. Form is…

Often, I'll add my own foods based directly of the nutrition label of what I'm eating. Chicken is tricky because it will depend on what it is seasoned with, and how it is processed (some are preserved with a solution of broth and salt). When you check a food on the list, your best bet is to use the ones that have many…

Thanks for the input. I normally wear athletic pants and workout friendly, no show panties (it just sounded nicer than thong). I'm going to invest in some compression shorts, and my husband insists no one wears underwear with compression bottoms. I have absolutely no idea if there is actually some rule to this.

Yup. I'd like to also add Bored by Death Angel.

Born in IL, lived in El Paso, Tx for part of my childhood, spent most of my life in southern AZ, currently in the Detroit area.

It's great you're handing it down to your children. Karate has done wonders for my boys in many ways (self esteem, motor skills, self-discipline). My oldest just earned his 6th kyu, blue belt (his dojo uses a 12 kyu belt system) Friday evening. My kids love it, but if they lost interest, I wouldn't force them to stay in.

I'm a karate mom, surely that counts.

In my younger days (definitely not a problem now), I had a lot of trouble gaining weight. I was that girl everyone assumed was sick or on drugs. I think I was 18 before I broke 90 pounds. I wasn't sick and I ate right, some people just burn energy faster than others. His body may just be burning everything he's taking in…

The guy in The Lego Movie has them. My bad habits are pretty bad. I drink a Monster a day. A monster on occasion isn't bad, but I just have to have one every.single.day. But, I log it! And the other, well, I'm a dirty smoker. That habit will be gone at the end of this semester. And, I'm a procrastinator. I'll finish this…

I'm not actually a baseball fan, but one can't help but feel the Detroit spirit on Opening Day (capital because it's a holiday in these parts). So, go Tigers! Alright, there's the extent of my baseball fandom.

I liked the story of the finale, but I feel like the story itself was only 20 minutes. The rest was flashbacks and commercials. Rick did earn a new respect from me. Typically I feel he's a bit of a "woe is me" whiner, but anyone who will use their teeth to take out someone's carotid, then spit it out like it was nothing to…

I don't think I'd have a problem with my husband "chiving". There are far worse things he could be seeing or doing. I'm familiar with it because I know a lot of people who are into Chive, for both the pictures and the charitable causes.

Mjudd is right about overpronation. It can cause medial ankle and knee pain, and can end up affecting the lateral hip too. The trick is to find out if you do over pronate, and why. http://www.active.com/running/articles/overpronation-why-it-happens-and-what-you-should-do-about-it

I have two scales here at home and if I step on one, it will tell me I weigh 4 lbs more than the other. You also have to keep in mind that weight can fluctuate by up to 5 pounds in a single day! You'll get different results depending on what time of day it is, how much you've eaten, hydration level, etc... The best thing…

I'm a full time student and mom, so in class or events with my kids, logging on isn't an option. That's a good thing, I'm easily distracted and would spend too much time between here and Facebook. Sitting down to study though, that's another story. Right now, my Muscle Testing and PT Procedures books are next to me, open,…

Is it the soda itself, or the caffeine you're addicted to? If it's the soda, maybe try gradually replacing a soda with flavored (naturally preferred) sparkling water? If you drink 3 sodas a day, try 2 and 1 fizzy water. Do that for a few days, then kick another soda and add a second water. Eventually you'll be at all…

Form is critical. Even something that seems simple, like one foot being slightly turned out, can cause problems. Where, specifically, does you knee hurt and what type of exercise are you involved in when the pain kicks in?

Most don't guess that I have tattoos, curse a lot, and often giggle like a school kid at the slightest innuendo. Apparently I portray the Cub Scout mom role well.

Yes, I enjoy the black and white photography in his profile shot.

I'm interested in seeing some of those studies that state being within the normal range can enhance performance. I can see being over the normal range having an advantage, but not being within the normal range. The steroid drugs you are referring to are the same steroid hormones found in the body, being used in a…

What type of steroids are you referring to when you say transgender people are on steroids? If I was told they were on steroids, I would assume it was referring to estrogen, progesterone, or testosterone (in a ftm), being as those are all steroids. Also, testicles are the primary secrete of testosterone (but, obviously not…

His body definitely talked. http://youtu.be/x5N6tvBQRG8 ETA: Alright, I don't know how to embed a You Tube video, but it's worth the watch.

I don't really see why she shouldn't be able to complete with the women. Assuming she isn't producing high levels of testosterone, and has been on female hormone replacements, then she's a woman. I'd compete next to her.

They did have Guinness single bottles, but it said Double Stout or something like that. I didn't know what it meant, so again, I put it back.
