Glad at least one person appreciated it.

When your friends plan a birthday dinner for another friend and the first thing you do before RSVP'ind is find the menu online and spend an hour figuring out nutritional values to see if they have anything you can eat as stay within your numbers for the day.

Hahaha, this has happened to me.

Anyone adding Cosplay fitness pals can add me too! Back in November I wanted to lose 50 lbs by March. After a while I realized it was over 2 lbs a week and I wasn't really focusing on it. SO I dropped the goal to 30. Now I might reach 20 lbs by march if I stay focused. I decided I wasn't going to let the extra weight stop…

Getting in shape, looking the best you've ever looked, and having fun tends to be the best revenge in a breakup.

I'm going to add one statement against egg whites. When you remove the yolk, you also remove the part that makes you full and some of the nutrients. Eggs are a near perfect food so I disagree with all the people staying to use egg white only. Years and years of research has proven that the yolks are no where near as bad…

There are lots of studies to the contrary as well. In the end, Dr. Oz isn't always correct and there is enough contradictory evidence to indicate that one method does not work best for all people. I used to not eat much for breakfast. It took years to drill breakfast into me. And once it became a habit and now I'm hungry…

Ask your doctor about using the pool. I was in an accident in January and couldn't walk much without pain or use cardio equipment but I could use the pool.

I love meat. I find it easy to get enough protein unless I'm too tired to cook. I find lunch frustrating because the stuff at work it very carb heavy rather than protein heavy. I also eat greek yogurt. I don't like plain but discovered that vanilla is very good and isn't as sugary as fruit flavored ones.

If you try to eat least than your goal you may start a yo-yo pattern. You will do it for a day or two but be so hungry that you might over eat and then try to make up by going lower again. Instead, just go back to your normal pattern. It was a bad day, it is over and done with, life goes on. Now I just need to take my own…

Some people do NOT want children. Maybe they can't. I know several who think the world is not a place they want to bring children into. I know other who think the world is too over-populated and so don't want children. I know some that thought the families they and their spouse came from were so bad that no one in either…

I was thinking the same thing. Turning veggies into a beverage is processing. If she bought it alread bottled, it is processed. Now if she made it in her own kitchen, it is not what we usually mean by processed foods. But juicing veggies strips them of the fiber. If she got snotty with me like that I would have said, 'To…

For some sports, balance could be a factor. Maybe women with flatter chests end up more successful at some sports because they don't have the larger boobs that throw off the center of balance in a way that makes it more challenging to properly perform the sport. Its just a random thought and I have no evidence or proof to…

I was thinking the same thing. If a caveman were alive today, he would eat as most people eat. A better statement is how would YOU eat if you only had access to the same things as a caveman.

A blogger I read (who happens to be diabetic) once told me that "Being Fit, Healthy and Hungry was better than being Fat, Diabetic, and Dead." I keep thinking I might turn it into an needlework sampler.

I find that costumes are easy but props are the hard part. I have to construct two swords and a set of wings. I'm thinking foam board.

I decided this year that I just don't care, I'm going as Erza Scarlet even if I have to be a fat version of her. Going to Joann's Fabric afterwork tonight!

There is a joke that the first rule of Cosplay is that anyone can be the opposite of what they are. So a short, fat boy can be a tall skinny woman. Anyone at a con who made a statement like that isn't a big enough fan to want to cosplay. They only want to see sexy women cosplay so they can ogle them.

The site recommended 1200 for me. But I am a woman who is 4 foot 11. That is not so unreasonable. The nutritionist actually recommended 1400 so I figure I'm okay if I'm anywhere between 1200 to 1400. The nutritionist also figured out that for me to maintain my weight inside the ideal range, I will need to maintain at…

Every two years or so, or anytime I've had a dramatic weight change, I go to Victoria Secrets to get a bra fitting and to buy a good, everday bra from them. I use that as a guide to get a couple cheaper bras elsewhere.

Muscle confusion is pure silliness. The only real reasons for swapping up routines is 1. to give other muscle groups a rest day when working out on a daily basis and 2. a routine that doesn't change can miss smaller connecting muscle groups over time and by changing up your routine you are less likely to miss those smaller…

I must be really old. I know the song and the artist but I don't know what getting rick-rolled means.

Dark green veggies. So Spinach and Broccoli are good iron sources from veggies. I'm guessing asparagus and brussel sprouts are good sources but I don't like the first and never have had the second. I'm not a vegitarian but in the spring and summer I crave cold foods and have been known to become low on Iron as a result of…

One fantastic reason for ink! Congrats. I have friends who have tats for this very reason. To cover surgical scars is another.

Unless your doctor says to cut back other meat, you don't need to avoid it. I have to reduce carbs due to health issues but I buy pork chops, I buy steaks with as little fat as possible. I buy ground beef at 93/7 ratio. I do use some 80/20 depending on what I'm making. Just measure, watch portion size, cook in smaller…

Yes, it counts. Especially if you go to conventions and cosplay. I'm going to Naka-kon in March and I'm making an Erza Scarlet costume.

Global warming puts more moisture in the air, that is, more water into the weather patterns. So as global warming happens, the weather gets more extreme and if you live an an area with 4 regular seasons, you will notice a trend towards hotter summers, colder winters, spring and fall growing shorter or not happening, and…

I like ink. I have two and want more. Waiting to lose weight since they would be in areas that would be affected by body shape change. I have one on my shoulder and I don't say it is hidden from work because we can wear sleeveless blouses and I don't keep my jacket on all day. People are always surprised. They don't think…

I cut mine in half, empty the seeds from it, brush it with a bit of butter or olive oil, and sprinkle it with what ever seasoning you want. Place cut side down on baking sheet. I look up the cook time and temp everytime I make it. I can never remember that part. But then I thread one half for dinner and I thead the other…

I live in the midwest and the farmers markets are potluck for savings. Some fresh produce is a better price, some is the same as the grocery store, a lot is WAY more expensive. A pie that is about 8$ at the store would be sold fresh at the farmers market for 20 - 25$. Green onions are usually about 79 cents a bunch at the…
