I've stuck with the default categories for now. My meals aren't necessarily at regular times because my schedule can vary from day to day. When I decide to eat breakfast, it's breakfast. Same goes for other meals. Any food eaten outside of my meal times goes under snacks. I generally limit beverages to water, Splenda sweet…

I drink coffee first thing every morning. I'm hazardous to everyone's health if I don't. I'm not a morning person even though I frequently get up early. Instant human -- just add coffee. I find myself drinking much more plain water here lately, but only like it when it's ice cold. I really like infusing water with…

I'm a natural born smartass, so I tend to fire off regular volleys of sarcasm at anyone who bothers me. I do love a good battle of wits as long as it's all in good fun. It's like a sport in my family. Most of the time, I don't pay much attention to what other people say. I pretty much live in my own head and go about my…

I have to ask why you are doing this also? I like chicken and asparagus, too. I'll be the first to admit that I sometimes get stuck on certain foods for extended periods of time, but I do still eat other foods. I can eat on a pot of spaghetti for a week and not be tired of it. Again, I usually only eat it for one of my…

I'm not an emotional eater, but I do suffer depression and anxiety. Quite the opposite, I tend to eat too little when I'm in my down moods because my stomach bothers me when I force myself to eat. Then, I get sick because I haven't eaten enough, and my stomach bothers me even more because it was already upset. I take…

Hot water makes the steeping happen faster. You can cold brew tea. Cold brew just takes a lot longer because it's a slower infusion. You can google "cold brew tea" or "refrigerator tea." You can actually infuse tea at room temperature. Again, it just takes a longer time. Sun tea is also really good. My mother made it…

I never thought about doing that. I'm surprised the idea never occurred to me because I am a big coffee drinker. I like the occasional blended Frappuccino, but mostly just drink plain hot coffee with a little creamer and Splenda. I'll have to try it.

Thank you. I'm glad you like it. Having an offbeat sense of humor helps me get through the day.

I have a FitBit One also. It should sync automatically to the FitBit dashboard about every 15 minutes. In order to sync, your wireless dongle has to be plugged in to the computer. You have to be in a 20-foot range of your computer. You can also force sync using Fitbit Connect. I set a shortcut on my desktop to make it…

There's lots of good advice here to choose. It's a matter of finding which pieces fit into your puzzle. Only you can decide what will work for you. I've been developing my new health and fitness habits for a little over a month. I've lost 10 pounds, and am feeling better. Several factors led me down this path. I've…

Keep on moving forward with your own life. That's really all you can do. You'll always have yourself even when you have no one else. Some people follow the same path, and that's great when it works out that way. Some people go separate ways, and it can be painful to let go. It it's meant to be, it will be. That's just…

You certainly don't want to take a chance on an allergy getting worse over time. It may be mild now, but you never know when you could have a worse reaction. That's certainly understandable. Google "alternatives to nuts" to see what kind of results you get. I did it just out of curiosity. The first link had a page…

My rule of thumb is to eat when I feel hungry. If I don't feel hungry, I don't eat. I can usually tell when I'm actually hungry versus when I just have a case of the munchies. I try to think about what my body is really telling me at those times. Sometimes thirst can manifest as hunger. Being tired can also manifest as…

I have a Fitbit One linked to my MFP account, and I let it do the work for me. I use the Drivebit app on my phone to record time spent travelling by automobile since Fitbit will sometimes log drive/ride time as steps. It automatically uploads to the dashboard when the timer is stopped if you are connected to data or wi-fi.…

That was even cheesier than I imagined. For some reason, it also kind of reminded me of the Mentos commercials. Out of curiosity, I had to Google to see if there really were Walking Dead Mentos commercials. I found these two. Enjoy! http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xln3qa_walking-dead-mentos-commercial_fun…

I have a small, but growing friends list on MFP. I've not deleted anyone, and see no reason to do so at this time. Inactivity in itself is not a sufficient reason for me. The least active friend on my list right now is my sister. I'm not deleting her. I know she is busy with other things. We talk often enough otherwise. I…

I used to work as a tour guide at a natural history museum and fossil site. One day, I was taking a group to the dig pits. Some cobblestones on the path from the museum to the fossil site had worked loose from the ground and were wobbly. I stopped and turned to face the group so I could warn them to be careful since some…

I usually refer to myself as a geek, so count me in. I love sci-fi and sci-fantasy. I'm a huge Trekker, and watch probably all of the space opera shows like Star Trek, Stargate, Battlestar Galactica, etc. The Walking Dead and Big Bang Theory are two of my favorite current TV shows. I also like Dr. Who even though I'm…

That's because I am a lovely coworker. We bicker at work like any loving family. :laugh:

Nice burn! That's the way to get into the spirit! :laugh:

I see a lot of those around here. I'm still waiting for the ultimate irony of seeing one on the back of a hearse. I would die laughing, I think.

No hatred here. I've been listening to Nickelback the last few days on my walks.

You're welcome. I'm a firm believer in not feeding the trolls. I have been known to poke them with sticks when it amuses me, though. My inner child can be an impish little demon sometimes.

Just make sure you're not using real leather shoes, and you should be fine.

I work in customer service. Sounds just like work to me. Only difference is most customers, coworkers, and bosses are also stupid, whiney, needy, annoying, and obnoxious. I'm sure there are more qualities to hate about them, but I only care to remember so much. I was a people person once, then I grew up and started working…

I'm always willing to listen and explore when it comes to music. I've always got a jukebox playing in my head. It helps keep me sane in this crazy world. Metal is a great stress reliever at the end of a long work day. Metal is also a great motivator when I can't get going. I listen to a wide variety of music. It just…

I like this one. I think my wife would agree.

I saw one once that I still laugh about to this day. Some minivan had them plastered all over the back glass. Each stick figure had ridiculous names like "Bubba Joe" or "John Boy." The one I found most hilarious was "Clorox."
