I am not a fitness nut. When I was fitter than I am now I used to like to go hiking or better known as; walking in the woods with friends to the top of a mountain to enjoy the views. I'm the slowest one of the crew too at least on the way up :)

Hiking a 4000+ some footer in the White Mountains, dunno how many calories it was though.

I always thought of it like this. If I get in the lake and swim for 20 minutes I usually do leisurely, this is usually the breast stroke the backstroke and the occasional treading but I'm always moving something, but not getting winded. backstroke http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7CmM_Z3Zt5U intermediate is usually what one…

So a nutritionist told me to balance carbs/protein/fats when eating carbs because I didn't want an insulin spike which carbs can do which increases fat but is also awful on the body and can leave people feeling edgy or hungry or tired after the insulin spike comes off so I try to balance out snacks now. So basically if I…

Tai chi in the morning. Walking/cardio/weights towards evening. Tai chi in the evening about 1/2 an hour before bed Why - I like the way tai chi makes me feel and it works the kinks out. Everything else when I have spurts of time in the evenings after work.

By the way Congratulations on slicing off that 5 minutes off your time you must feel really proud of yourself :) keep up the good work!

I hear you, I worked at places where no one was ever congratulated on a job well done EVER. Then I started working at a place where if someone does a good job they hear "well done!" or "good job!" total difference in atmospheres. Both of these were places where everyone was doing a good job. If you need someone to be your…

The guy was a *kitten* before he met you otherwise he wouldn't be all over you he'd be fixing up his current relationship or ending it to be with you. This has nothing to do with you other than if you accept being a fling, he'll be happy I'm sure.

I use the same measurements that are given online but in a bigger than 4oz jar so I can mix it all up when it comes time to eat it, it does expand over night. You can also experiment with flavorings that you like. I like oats/fruit or berries sometimes both/raw sunflower seeds/ I use goats milk or kefir (personal…

I did, I liked genisoy because of the protein content & it's soy. I liked them but I also felt like I missed chewing. Also made me gassy and there's such conflicting info about soy out there. So I figured I'd go back to chewing and try the whole foods approach instead. I recently started making versions of this though…

Good for you!
