Plain skyr. I have only found Siggi's brand here in the US but the skyr in Iceland was just heavenly. I usually just get the plain and add maple syrup, fruits, granola, and/or almonds, but I like the Siggi's coffee flavored skyr too.

Competitive Irish step dance and non-professional performances.

In general I love my shortness, but there are a few issues. The top shelf in the grocery store is an ordeal. It's very difficult to find pants when you're short with wide hips. Hard to see the stage at rock shows. Counters are too high sometimes. Barstools are uncomfortable because I can't reach a foot rest. My little…

I would find a bagel entry in the MFP database that closely mirrors the type (plain white, whole wheat, etc.) that you get from your store, and then weigh the bagel and enter by weight. And as others have said, if it fits in your daily calorie/macro goals, by all means eat the bagel. But I highly recommend weighing both…

My dance classes are typically in the range of 6pm-9pm, which is prime dinner eating time for me. So to make it through class I usually make a shake with part chocolate soy milk/part skim milk (I use the chocolate soy milk because I like the flavor, chocolate cow milk would be fine too), oatmeal, frozen banana slices, and…

Her response confuses me. A man can wear nothing hotter than a kilt. Be free. Wear the kilt.

Sorry, I responded before I saw this post. I think it's a major red flag that your boss isn't a fair woman. If it's viable (not sure how available your particular job is in different areas or how saturated the market is for your job), looking around for another job or a transfer in your company where you'd have a different…

A couple thoughts. 1. Is your boss approachable? I'm fortunate that my boss has been a great mentor for me and I can run anything by him. If it were me in this situation, I would have replied directly to my boss and asked him if he thought my initial email warranted such a response, and what I should do about it. 2. If…

Humans are also the only animals who plant crops to harvest and eat. Or cook our food before consumption. Or live in dwellings we built out of a combination of wood boards, vinyl siding, and shingles. Or drive cars. Or have flown into space. Or... Because it's nutritious and delicious.

The above quoted is the answer to your question. Keep eating 1337 each day. If in another month you've gained another pound, start eating 1300 each day. If in a couple months after that you have lost a few pounds, try eating 1315 each day. TDEE = calories needed to maintain your weight. Period. With TDEE, you don't need to…

I usually work out 6 days a week with Thursdays off as a rest day after a string of 3 dance classes in a row. Irish dance: 6-7 hours a week...5 hours of structured class plus practice on my own on other days Heavy lifting: currently twice a week until my class schedule updates, then I'm hoping to do three days a week.…

I did so much walking when visiting Europe a few years ago that I ate what I liked the entire time and maintained my weight. That included thrice daily visits to the gelato shop outside our apartment door in Sicily. I also took a car camping trip in Canada where we did long hikes every day. That's pretty much all we did:…

I concur that you may want to look into religious private groups on here for this type of support. These topics don't always go well in the main forums. To answer your question: Not specifically. I am using meditation as a way to communicate with the gods/goddesses and achieve some stress release, though. I also have a…

If you're interested in lifting heavy, I do New Rules of Weightlifting for Women at home and recommend it. It does require extra equipment from what you have already, but provides alternatives for exercises that require something like a cable station. I bought most of my equipment at a second hand sports store and it all…

These are very important questions. I haven't done any multi-day backpacking (yet!), but I can let you know what I do to improve my performance on more intense day hikes: 1) Running on a flat trail. My biggest weakness when hiking with others who are quite fit is I can't keep up with the cardio of a high elevation gain…

I've had late dinners with a male in a position of power over me (supervisor and lab director) on business travel and other male colleagues. I went out drinking a few nights in a row during field work with an older, married coworker. Sometimes dinner is late depending on what the work involves, and if I only know one other…

I was raised Lutheran and we always gave something up for Lent and attended church every Wednesday the entire season. Might depend on the flavor of Lutheran (ELCA for us). No one would have looked twice if someone else in the congregation didn't give something up and/or didn't attend Wednesday services, though.

Very European-American. From my genealogy research, I've found German (Mecklenburg, Wuerttemburg, Prussia, Bavaria), English, Scottish, Irish, French-Canadien, Welsh, Scots-Irish I go by my genealogy research, but from my DNA admixtures, I have West Europe, East Europe (Prussian ancestors were in present day Poland), Great…
