  • CURSE the OP of this thread, and the Fates that made me look. The Monkey has reattached itself to my back, and I am back on NWN1 on the 12 Dark Secrets server. Still finding time to walk everyday (try NOT walking with 3 dogs) and eating right, but me thinks that sleep will become an issue, again :smile: Bless the OP, I'd…
  • Neverwinter, when I have time. 12 Dark Secrets is the online mod I play most often...
  • Here is a book title I found that has been VERY helpful for me. 9 to 5 Exercise by Shirley Archer.
  • Sad to see him go. I really enjoy his Doctor. As for the next incarnation, I do not think I'd be happy with a female Doctor, as it has never even been implied that that could occur. I would be ok with any other racial choice, as presumably, as with humans, all Galifreans share common dna. As for who should be the next…
  • I have been vegetarian now for just about 20 years. No Dairy as well for about two years, with an occasional slip. I have a very hard time passing up cheese pizza... Anyway, I am non judgemental, eat meat if you wish. My only soapbox is available to climb on anytime some one says "You NEED animal protein to be healthy. Add…
  • I believe the silverback is actually vegetarian. just sayin...
  • This is an awesome quote---But I first heard it in the musical "Godspell"...sadly they did not credit it to ms Williamson.
  • I use whichever flavor of almond milk I've got in the house, unsweetened. I also use Stevia, without any added sugar alcohols (like maltodextrin) I also enjoy black coffee, so the added almond milk and stevia are both "treats"
  • Congratulations. Anyone taking meds has this as a goal. I'm glad to see it is possible! Happy for you.
  • I think Capt Jack is coming back later this year. His part in the show Arrow has gotten real deep. He's showing up more. If you are a Capt. jack fan, you need to see the movie version of "the Producers" Capt jack as the blonde nazi singing springtime for hitler
  • 1 cup of oatmeal, 1/2 banana, 1 cup of almodn milk, unsweetened, split between my coffee and oatmeal. pretty much everyday but saturday and sunday. those two days will see a bagel and scrambled eggs. Then I have a lighter lunch.
  • I made three "Velvet" Scarves. One for me, one for my wife, and one we gave to our Vet at Banfield in South Carolina shortly after Velvet received final care. It was a pretty emotional time for all of us. It's not often you see a vet cry...
  • And check out my second picture---it's my Dr Who scarf, from the um, 18th season ;-)
  • Because I needed to do something with my dogs fur, which I spun into yarn...Now I'm hooked.
  • To quote Valentine Michael Smith, "I am but an egg." In other words I am so new to this fitness thing that I can not comment on your question directly. But I can tell you where I am on this particular trip down fitness lane. I am 54, 6'3 and started this trip at 230lbs. I joined MFP and set a goal to get to 195 pounds.…
  • according to family lore---Mae West was a distant cousin, And with the Last name of O'Connor, probably someone famous in Ireland as well :-)

  • When my wife and I go shopping I log it. It is exercise outside of what I normally do. I walk my dogs every day, twice a day. I log it because even though it is within the norm for me, it is still exercise.
  • SOoo, yeah. I did not test at all for 20 years... denial. powerful stuff. About a year ago the dr said I want you testing twice a day... I am NOT good with pain. And my imagination drove the pain factor WAY up. So I have back stock of testing supplies. Dr said Insulin is in my future. NOW i am testing religiously at LEAST…
  • Before Stevia became approved as a sweetener by the FDA (Big Sugar was fighting THAT tooth and nail) it was only available as a "dietary supplement" which I tried. I found it to be grassy tasting, though quite sweet. I switched from equal to splenda. I did try Truvia when it came out, but it is not a pure Stevia product.…
  • Torchwood- Doctor Who- Anagram---- Yeah, I'm a Whovian. The pic is me with my 18th Season Scarf. Made it myself. I am really enjoying Matt Smith as the Dr. Favorite Dr Quotes, to date are. "Bumble bees!" Tom Baker 'Fantastic" Chris Ecklestein And 'Basically, Run!" Matt Smith. It is all my wifes fault. I was Blissfully…
  • Unless she is a relative of DaVinci, then there might be a hidden message in the message...
  • I changed 3 things. A. Portion control. I measure EVERYTHING. 2. Eating a LOT more veggies raw. Cabbage is awesome, crunchy, filling tasty. Last is not diet but it is very important. I MOVE a lot more. Parking further way from the door at work and the store. I pace at my workstation, up to 2 hours a day. I eat lunch on one…
  • I am far from an expert, but I think it may be possible that while you are not losing pounds you are converting fat into muscle, especially with the dedication you are showing with your gym time. Muscle is, from what I've read, heavier than fat, and if you have been doing this for a while that would be my guess. I don't…
  • My Doctor has a sense of humor. Actually my old Dr.. I no longer live in Seattle. I got up one morning, maybe 22 years ago, and said "Ow Dammit!" My wife jumps up and says whats wrong. She loves me, and is concerned for my well being. I told her. "My foot hurts!" I say. She says "then go to the doctor, stupid" See, I said…
  • And you don't get much more lean that plant based protein. Just sayin :smile: No agenda here. Just that protein is protein, be it animal or vegetable. No reason to kill an animal to get "enough"protein. And a vegetarian lifestyle may be better for your health than a meat based one.
  • Don't forget to check out the vegetarian vegan sections here. you can get most of your protein from plant sources (I get almost all of mine from plant sources, with an egg or three tossed in for good measure) You can also get awesome results going vegan. My macros are set at 60/30/10 and the hardest part for me is eating…
  • Reports like these are called “anecdotal evidence” and are usually discounted by scientists. But even some doctors who used to consider diabetes a death sentence are now saying that Type 2 diabetes can be reversed, even cured (more on what “cured” means later). "Life is a death sentence" But I can be "healthy" when i get…
  • All of the above are great advice. For my money, or lack thereof, the best cardio exercise is walking. The next best would be climbing trees and swinging from the branches. :smile: Seriously. We are built for walking and climbing trees. Not that I do any of the second any more, when I was a kid if there was a tree I was in…
