Getting into the 250s. Started October at 272; this morning I recorded 260.5

I fill a small pot with largish chunks of squash, 1.5c of coconut milk, onions, garlic, and a large chunk of ginger. Simmer until the squash is soft and "furry". Pull out the large chunk of ginger when done. I'll eat it like so as a side dish, or top with green onions and cilantro, or mix in pulled chicken, shrimp,…

the run was probably around 3 1/4 miles so my speed was more like 13.5 minute miles/ 4.5mph(?). That said, it was a hilly, technical, singletrack MTB trail so.... thanks for the encouragement though!

thanks for that link!

heard and concurred... i've actually had a stress test, they took me to 185+ and were satisfied. i still had "gas in the tank".

I believe the accuracy of the HRM. My regular elliptical workout, according to the machine, my HR is about the same 150-175 hitting into the 190's during my "push" intervals. Also it jives with my last HRM which was a polar. I've just never used it to estimate my calories. (edit) Just to clarify, i believe the heart rates…

thanks for the replies! looks like protein is the winner here.

i'm not crazy about any that i've tried but what is the solution to having a healthy snack, that doesn't need refrigeration, is very transportable and easy to eat on the go? If there's a better solution, i'm all ears :)

i used to get this when i was using an elliptical with no incline adjustment. like other responders said, constant pressure on the foot causes it. you can try and lift your foot up on each step. Or if you have an incline adjustment, make it a bit steeper, it has the same effect.

go online to like Zappos or an equivalent store. there are plenty of options for under $50.

Actually, there's nothing obscure about it. The Japanese are crazy about mayo, possibly even more so than Americans. Besides being a staple on Japanese foods like okonomiyaki, takoyaki, and yes, sushi, mayonnaise is even eaten on fried chicken. Kewpie is "the" Japanese mayo brand and you are sure to find it if you walk…

i roast them right on the oven rack at 450 till soft. peel, mash, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt & pepper. so good.

i think with running, as with everything else, you have good days and you have bad days. The key is don't sweat it, just soldier on. I had one yesterday. I was unable to finish a trail that i've become comfortable running. Was it the heat? diet? time of day? who knows, i could attribute it to any number of things...just a…

order chirashi. it's like assorted sashimi but served in a bowl over a bed of seasoned rice. you can then choose how much rice you eat/don't eat.

Own it! You ARE a runner. Strong work!

Tabata Studio circuit: 107" seamless clean and jerk apple crate box jumps sand bag lunges background support chin-ups 20 seconds on, 10 seconds off, cycle through twice for 8 rounds total. Yes, i'm joking :) (edit) Post workout high protein meal at Wilbur's (just saw you are in Goldsboro ;)

Warning: Devil's Advocate.... if your date night is truly a once in a blue moon occurrence, ditch the calorie counting, it's one night. Don't let your diet overshadow your time together. You should be happily anticipating the evening, not worrying about what you're gonna eat/not eat at the movies. ...my 2 cents

i see women adjusting their chesticles all the time! though i have to say, it's more grab than wiggle...*sad face*.

Gentlemen please. Never ever "do that walk" or "that little wiggle". You have balls, grab them and fix them. That is all.

I reuse the net bags that 5# of oranges come in. i know, a bit extreme. But seriously, i go to the farmers market once a week, and i see so many people with reusable market bags, filled with plastic bags from the various vendors. doesn't make any sense.

^probably litters too *Native American on horse sheds a single tear*

was over my goal last week by 147, so...time to up the ante. hope i can keep up, especially since i'm starting the week with a rest day!
