  • Technically, yes, but I don't really consider it a major part of my identity. I love my husband and he does inspire my health journey, but barring the occasional relocation, we both just treat it like any other career.
  • I'm not quite sure why I want this conversation to involve thermodynamics. Generally yes, the whole is made up of the sum of the parts, though now I feel the urge to take a class on the chemistry of cooking.
  • Mushroom and brie soup. I'd have to hunt it down in one of my recipe books, but I'm sure you can find it online. Other than that, I just kind of throw shrooms into anything.
  • Went to one offered by the Air Force. She looked at my medical records, wrote out a plan, and sent me here.
  • GoT, when I got the DVD's from the library. Doctor Who Sherlock X-Files Warehouse 13 Dexter American Horror Story Firefly The Twilight Zone Top Chef Probably a few others throughout the years. Also, I'm pretty sure this is the only way my husband watches television.
  • In for the soybeans. Seriously, roasted edamame is delicious.
  • 1. Anything on the facing label at the grocery store. It may be illegal for them to lie, but they definitely don't have to tell the truth. 2. "Don't eat after X:00 because you won't be able to work it off before you go to bed." You have no idea what hours I keep, and I can promise you that I don't die every night and…
  • There's a big difference between a bite of dark chocolate with dinner, a can of Coke with lunch, and the sheer volume of sugar I put on my cereal as a kid. If you can manage your lifestyle while bankrolling the local candy shop, all power to you. Personally, as much as I love RMCF, I have to limit my trips to biannually to…
  • Wait, we're supposed to drink something other than Propel? The black cherry is awesome, and I get the raspberry lemonade and the peach whenever I can. That stuff is fantastic. As for it having sodium, my bloody tapwater has worse and the Propel tastes better.
  • The only way I could find to describe it was cyclical and hard to follow. Basically, your body needs food. Your entire body needs food. Not just your muscles. Not just your heart. Your pancreas needs food. Your lungs need food. When trying to drop weight too quickly, there is a concern that you're not getting enough…
  • I don't even brush my hair, let alone try to look pretty.
  • I've found decent enough sports bras that I only need one for these pesky-*kitten* F-cups. If I don't feel like breaking out my armband, I just run to the sounds of nature and local traffic.
  • Love sucks, doesn't it? We want our lives to be like the movies. We want them to suddenly realize that we're the one they've been looking for all their lives, and their relationship is just an obstacle on the way to happily ever after. There's a reason these movies don't show what happens twenty years along the line, when…
  • I'm honestly not a fan of being able to smell anybody across the room, be it at the gym or at the office. If I can identify your perfume from twenty yards away, you are wearing too much of it. If it gives me a headache from fifty yards, there is a ventilation problem. I can understand not scrubbing yourself down before…
  • Oh, all of these and so much more. Every pair of pants needing to be cropped. All long sleeves covering my fingers. Not being able to see over anything at work. Any aisle with high walls is a bloody tunnel. Angry and sexy are just cute. So are "irritated", "confident", or anything that isn't expected from a pocket-sized…
  • It USED to be on the BBC...? Netflix. They have what they can get. The new reboot kind of restarts a lot of things, so I guess one thing you should know about old vs. new is that the Time Wars occurred during the series' hibernation period. Old episodes won't reference it, and the new Doctors will be a lot less silly and a…
  • My mother once sent me about a dozen packets of expired Listerine strips for my birthday.
  • I keep a houseplant on my coffee table. My Playboys are on the bookshelf with the rest of the reading material.
  • Ms. Rodriguez, any day in any way. She is a phenomenal actress and seems like she'd be fun to just hang out with.
  • Who told you it was water? Day to day weight loss can be water or food. Forty pounds in a month and a half is not water. If the high-weight lifting is hurting you, you can do low-weight high-rep. You can walk, swim, hit the elliptical or stationary bike, whatever. If it hurts, stop. Otherwise, it sounds like you're doing…
  • It's the FCC's call, not the FAA.
  • This Is Halloween by Marilyn Manson.
  • I have seen some pretty sick tattoos in my time. A lot of people have gotten their wedding rings tattooed on, something I'm considering myself. I've seen an anatomically correct heart over a pulsing vein. I've seen baby's footprints. They all said that they would never get a significant others' name or likeness or anything…
  • Most days I'm way under my protein, which I know I shouldn't be doing, but if I functionally eat one meal a day, that's a lot to pack in. When I get the chance, I fill it out with Greek yogurt, nuts, peanut butter, and protein bars. I look for the bars with more protein than sugar. I used to have a powder, but I ran out…
  • Lots of veggies, and let him add his own cheese to the dish. I cook for my husband every night. We eat the same food and the fuzzy SOB has lost 15 pounds from it :laugh:
  • Supposedly it's perfectly normal to gain a few pounds when you go into maintenance, as your body rebuilds its readily-available fat stores that had been depleted while you were losing. There is a much more scientific way of putting that. I just have no idea what it is :happy: Water can cause pretty serious fluctuations in…
  • The straight vegetables should have very little sodium, as most of them are just steamed and then flash frozen. That would be one of the problems with going fresh to microwave- personally I don't have the time to properly steam broccoli during my 15 minute break. A couple options I can think of: Cook them half way before…
  • Congratulations! And, you know, RUN!
  • Hey, I think my profile pic is perfectly respectable, thank you very much. It's not revealing in the slightest.
  • I'm not entirely certain how this became a controversial thread... Anyway. If I'm at the gym for yoga, I shower right after my workout due to time constraints and a lack of desire to stand around doing nothing for an extended period of time. If I'm closer to home for lifting, I hydrate and protein before hopping in, with…
