bowl. YOu ever been to Mardi Gras?

nice *kitten* in Levi's

Horse Most bizzare thing you've ever done?

always can use friends to joke around with and motivate..

cook in a cast iron skillet, and drink guinness

oh JustDG, I have a crush on you! ;-)

I say, if it helps you eat more greens and vegetables, I would do it. There's often times I'm crunched on time, and it's either a "kit" or fast food. Guess which one is better?

Thanks for sharing. It doesn't even have to be extreme. My husband wiped out on a straight away flat trail and got conked out for a few minutes/seconds. ALWAYS tell someone where you are going and when you expect to be back. We think it's silly to do this , because we are not in some remote location, but it can happen.

I would love to be a mentor to a noob! 46 year old woman. I've been at the gym since I could afford at gym membership at the age of 19. I like what lifting weights did for me. ( a trainer at Powerhouse, named BIG BOB, got me started...never looked back) I've had ups/downs. Working on getting back down, now that the…

also, can you keep nuts at work? Those are easy to keep in your pocket or your desk drawer to snack on during the day... I do that when I'm on site at customer locations, and can't bring protein bars or fruit or whatever... (just don't eat too many!)

1) dont' keep the chips in the house!! 2) you aren't eating enough during the day. I have recently upped my protein by a little bit (seriously, like 20 g worth during the day) and I'm am no longer "starving" when I get home and devouring every bad thing in site at home. Make sure you are eating enough during the day!

Solution: More bike lanes. Cyclists are safer. Motorists aren't as pissy.

@joRocker: do you get trigger points on your IT band? mine are just tight- I don't usually get triggers on that- just muscle mass itself- but yeah- I mostly roll to break down that tension- which fugs up EVERYTHING north and south of it. So while I roll everything- my goal is to loosen up THAT since it's the fly in the…

I don't buy the inflammation thought. Foam rollers work on your myofascia (the "skin" or layer holding your muscles in).. It also works on trigger points, which are caused by many, many things: stress, inbalances, etc. I have a whole line of trigger points in my IT band when I am "out of whack" and it hurts like H*ll on…

How about having to live with the Pusher of these cookies? And having tons and tons of boxes in your house that aren't sold yet???? It's not good. Not good at all. Huh. We are hungry, oh look, our little darling has some more cookies to sell, maybe we can help her out....

I had sciatica so bad I couldn't do anything, not even sit for 5 minutes. I went to a chiropracter 2-3 times a week for a month or so, then started cutting back. I had to go 1x a week for maybe 6 months, then once a month. That was over 20 years ago. Now, I go when I "did something bad" to my back. You do NOT have to keep…

I always make mine the night before and they are fine the next day. Sometimes the coloring looks a little off, or you hae to shake them up a bit. If you're concerned about the color, add a little lemon juice so the fruit doesn't brown.

Also, use a scarf or balclava to help warm up the air before it gets to your mouth!

Here's what you do: SW: 153 CW: 137.8 GW: (Goal weight for the month) 133 Weigh in Dates: 10/1 ---137.8 10/8 10/15 10/22 10/28 End of Month (or whatever weigh in days you use) Total weight lost: Just for fun: What is your favorite Pumpkin recipe that will help reduce temptations for non healthy treats? Mix canned pumpkin…

I had one that didn't work whenever I did the INSANITY workout...especially when I was bent over. I actually sent it back to the mfr, and tried 2 new watches and 2 new transmitters. It works better, but still goes out when I'm upside down.

I wouldn't go w/slimfast as it has a lot of other crap in it. Actually, I bought Kroger's unflavored gelatin...it's 7G of protein. I mix it with whatever (and drink fast) before it gets all jello like. NOt sure if it's cheaper..I actually bought it for my nails :-) But you can find protein powders on line a whole lot…

Have you been eating carbs? I get super tired and grumpy if I don't get enough. Don't' need a ton..but if I don't eat any but veggies..I'm soo extremely tired.

There's a lot of training workouts on the web for this. The biggest thing I can suggest is you need the "saddle" time. Usually your squish parts get sore long before the legs. The rule of thumb...if you can ride 50 miles, you'll be able to do 77...

Yes, and I'm not sure. Maybe try something new with the diet? Sometimes that gets me motivated.. I know people will yell, but following a pre-determined diet plan sometimes helps get me over the edge.

Doing body weight lunges is NOT a waste of time. Start small. Eventually you will get your balance on the lunges. Hang onto the wall or a pole if you have to. Try backward lunges or walking lunges. I find these both easier then forward lunges (as far as balance) I've always struggled w/balance on lunges, but finally now,…

When I started, you didn't have to pay for trainers, it was part of the gym..so basically I had a personal trainer. i think it's worth the money to get the form correct so you don't hurt yourself.

It took about 2 weeks for my stomach to settle down but then I felt great!

Never thought of that! Great idea!

Well, if I see someone bicycling in street clothes, I think that they lost their driver's license and need to ride the bike to get from A to B.

OMG! My 2 favorite foods in one!
