This recipe for lentil chili is a good starting place - it makes a lot of food (even more if you add some black beans - yum!) and freezes well if you don't want to eat it every day for a week. I like my chili spicy, so I added some extra chili powder, cumin, crushed red pepper, and a jalapeno.…

working on a PhD in inorganic/physical chemistry. It's a tough balance. So far I'm still working on trying to squeeze in exercise.

Blanch the baby spinach (cook 3-4 minutes in boiling water, then immediately into ice water). Saute some mushrooms in butter with garlic, a little salt, some cracked black pepper, and red pepper flakes until caramelized. Drain spinach and squeeze off excess water. Saute with the mushrooms for a few minutes until hot. My BF…

Heights Being tickled cockroaches and pointy objects (I'm always afraid that they will poke me in the eyes)

My biochem professor in college always used to tell us that the best thing we could do for ourselves was to drink more water. She said that if you find yourself struggling to concentrate or are finding it difficult to do simple tasks, like easy mental math, then you might be dehydrated. And sure enough, when I'm well…

Bump! Sounds yummy!

turn up your favorite music and shake your booty! :smile: (maybe i'm just in a good dancing mood this morning) But I don't see why your gym won't let you walk on the treadmill or use the stationary bikes (especially the recumbent bikes - you don't even have to hold on for those). And if you haven't gotten a cast yet, you…

*gasp!* Not the dihydrogen monoxide! (As a chemist that one always makes me giggle) My thought on the processed foods is, everything in moderation. It's probably not all that great to eat lean cuisines for every meal, but if I eat a bowl of cereal, or have some whole wheat bread or pasta with my veggies, that should be…

this. and i love me some chinese takeout.

hmm...odd, all of my real life friends are imaginary...

my BF always says that girl scout cookies should be a controlled substance. and yes, I have eaten an entire box of tag-alongs in one sitting :ohwell:

PA doesn't put weight on drivers' licenses....just height....didn't notice that until now.

Dunkaroos still exist, but they are very elusive.

search kid's yoga on netflix. one of my friends is a kindergarten teacher and he uses them in his classroom to keep his students moving during the day.

I prefer mine with brown rice. And I don't cook it before I make it, but that's because I cheat and use minute rice :blushing:

chinese take-out. mmmmmm.

:laugh: I will try this one from now on. Right now, I wish it was warm enough to rain. I'd definitely be outside running then. The snow and I don't get along quite so well, though.

Peanut butter. I eat it straight off the spoon :)

You could check to see if your local pool offers shallow water aerobics classes. I used to teach these, and they are quite low impact (deep water is better, but with a fear of water I'd avoid this) and you only need to be chest deep in the water. The ladies in my class never even got their hair wet.

I've made something like this for a while. I love to use apple pie filling and sprinkle a Tbsp of brown sugar + 1.5 tsp cinnamon over the top before I toss it in the oven. Can't tell you how many requests I get for these!

5'7" goal weight 150-155? Mostly I just want to be a size 8.

Fred Flintstone is on MFP?? :wink:

Me too! Honestly, I buy the Uncle Ben's minute brown rice and follow the microwave directions (I'm lazy, especially during the week). It usually comes out pretty well.

This. I got my Champion sports bras at Target for ~$12-15 each. I'm a 36 DD and it works for me.

Don't throw them away. Just put them in a cupboard where you can't see them (or can't reach them). That way they are still there for him to have, but will likely be less tempting for you.

:laugh:

Sounds like they're not really 'friends'. You could always just delete them and *poof* problem solved. Good luck.
