4 oz. nonfat plain Greek yogurt 4 oz. nonfat/1% milk 1 small banana 1 scoop vanilla protein powder 1 oz. blueberries (frozen or fresh) 2 oz. strawberries (frozen or fresh) My version of this works out to: 406 calories, 3g fat, 60g carbs, 39g protein. YMMV depending on your particular version of ingredients.

Totally worth it, especially if you are just starting out in the gym. A good trainer will design an exercise program to help you meet your goals, tell you why you are doing certain exercises, demonstrate proper form, encourage you, and make working out fun. A bad one does little of that, and spends his time trying to…

First confession: My wife bought a tub of pre-made cookie dough so she could quickly make some cookies for guests (and to make the house smell wonderful). After making a dozen, the tub has sat in the fridge for a week now...and I grab a spoon most nights and go down for a couple (oh hell, this is a confession thread,…

Mmmm....tea. I have had a cup (or three) of Mariage Freres French Breakfast in the morning, every morning, for the past several years. It's hard to start my day without it. :) Unfortunately, there are only a few places in the US that carry it, and the selection that is available is quite limited. So, I order it in bulk…

Run. Run. Run. A lot. Then run some more. :smile: I have found that interval training helps. I do a 2-minute warm-up @ 3.5, ease into the sprints at 7 or 8mph, and then settle into a pattern of 1 minute @ 10mph/2 minutes @ 4mph. Keep that up, and you'll finish a 5k in under 30 minutes, and you will have walked for most of…

Great job, and awesome perseverance! The pain is temporary, but the feeling of accomplishment you must have, and the pride I imagine you feel in honoring your nan's fight will be with you forever. :)

FALSE. The moon is 384,000 km from the Earth; the closest star to us is Proxima Centauri, which is over 4.24 light-years away, or 4.01 x 10^13 km. Therefore: 1. If you "shoot for the moon" and fall short, you are likely to be pulled back into Earth's gravity and burn up upon re-entry into our atmosphere. 2. In the unlikely…

I have goals for weight (190) and fat % (17), but not for BMI...at least not at ending BMI goal. I wanted to get out of the obese range (done), but in order for me to get into the "normal weight" BMI range, I'd have to get down to 170 pounds, which just isn't happening. The last time I was 170, I had been in a hospital for…

I'm sure this will be the first of many similar replies you will get. You can't target fat loss in a specific area with exercise. You can tone the muscles underneath the fat, but the only thing that will remove those layers of fat is eating at a caloric deficit. Unfortunately, for many folks (you and me both), the…

I loved this post! Good for your and congratulations on your hard work. I've lost my own daughter (she's nine, about 60 pounds), and can appreciate your desire to get healthier for her and the rest of your family. It certainly rings true with me. :)

Johnny Depp is one of our generation's underrated talents. His acting range is phenomenal, and it is probably only due to his choice of roles on the edge of the mainstream that have kept him from winning an Oscar. That being said, Gene Wilder is the Willy Wonka of my youth, and will forever define that role. “We are the…

Whew. DDR is a good idea. I was worried you were thinking about turning his apartment into a meth lab. Good call. :laugh:

Go slow at the start. Your goal is to just finish the race, not post a PR or anything competitive, right? The adrenaline you feel at the beginning might trick you into going out faster than you should, so my advice is to dial that back a bit and find a pace that you can run comfortably for 25-35 minutes. Don't worry about…

Emphasis on *most*. With a universe of words at your disposal, why choose the most vulgar? We regularly replace swear words at our house with "Blast!" "Crikey!" or simply, "Curses!" Yes, kids are going to learn the words eventually. But I want my daughter to get through childhood without thinking that such language is…

My trainers abuses me with kettlebells a couple of times a month. Typical exercises include: -Kettlebell swing (two-handed grip, swing kettle bell behind legs, and then use your hips to swing your arms up to shoulder height) -High pulls (two-handed grip, from a squatting position, keep elbows high, pull kettlebell up so…

We don't go camping without a jar of peanut butter, for the hot dogs. It's also good on hamburgers.

Of course, now I can't get that song out of my head... :smile:

Damn straight. "When The Music's Over" is playing right now, appropriate, no?
