  • Most of my friends hated The Golden Child, but it's one of my faves.
  • Gotta love that "PK" testing.....LOL. We were testing a West Nile virus vaccine candidate and one of the most complicated experiments was the pharmacokinetics study we had to do.
  • I'm a Research Associate at a major SE Texas teaching hospital doing infectious disease research. Most of the job is sedentary, but when working in our containment lab I have to wear a "space suit," which does add a little exercise to the day. It's pretty cool working for some really high level virologists. I hit the gym…
  • Oh yeah, back in my college days. Have you ever been skydiving?
  • Nature's Path has some good selections. My favorite is their Mesa Sunrise: http://shop.naturespath.com/Mesa-Sunrise-Flakes--ECO-PAC/p/NPA-779018&c=NaturesPath@ColdCereals I'd much rather have Captain Crunch Berries, but hey, you know.... :laugh:
  • For today, and this is typical for me, it's a can of low sodium V8 and an apple. It's generally inconvenient for me to have a big lunch, and I like to have my workouts after I get home from work, just before dinner.
  • It's more of a "job" for me, because my true escape is diving. I know it's important to stay in shape, and my workouts allow me to keep shedding pounds, building my endurance and actually eat some of the "less healthy" things once in a while and still not blow my nutritional plan. That being said, I do enjoy the payoff I…
  • Last dive was this last December in St. Thomas USVI while on the Carnival Breeze. My wife and I got in a nice two tank dive and had the dive boat to ourselves. We did a back to back cruise, first on the Carnival Liberty, then the Breeze. On the Liberty, we dove in Cozumel (Scuba with Alison), Belize (SeaSports Belize) and…
  • I have a workout playlist on my MP3 player, and change it every so often. I generally prefer "high energy" type music. Right now, here is a sampling of what's on there. As you'll see, it's pretty.....eclectic.....to say the least. A selection of military running cadences, or "jodies" (You can find these on YouTube) It's…
  • A few of my faves: The Walking Dead The Amazing Race Survivor Yes, two of them are "reality" shows, but they are definitely entertaining.
  • Yep, pizza is probably my biggest downfall. I used to eat a lot of cookies, chips, etc. and thought I'd miss them, but after reading the nutritional content, I'd rather not have to pay for it with extra time on the treadmill. Now, if I want something sweet after dinner, I'll measure out some Greek yogurt and add fresh…
  • I weigh once per week, generally around the same time of day. I do this after workout, in just my gym shorts. I try to keep the conditions as consistent as possible. As an additional motivator, I keep my actual weight and a target weight on an Excel spreadsheet and generate a plot, which I then print the updated copy. As…
  • My wife and I just started with FitBit (Flex) and me with MFP. I'll be happy to add you.
  • My wife and I just got our FitBit Flex units this last Friday (3/21/14) and I found MFP to be a good match for FitBit. We are both PADI AOW divers and I hope to start rescue diver in the next couple of months. My job is somewhat sedentary in nature, so I want to ensure I maintain a healthy lifestyle.
  • My wife and I just got our FitBit Flex units this last Friday. She also does Weight Watchers, but I don't, so I found this site/app to be a good fit for me. I'll be happy to add you as a friend, and for others reading this, I'd be happy to populate my friends list with anyone who would like to do so.
