That was fantastic. It reminded me of that one time a "friend" took me to a "raw" "dessert" shop. I just couldn't.

I'm on week two, also on week 2 of Body Revolution. Add if you like. :)

Rude. It's called rude.

Seriously. Some guy at my last gym went bananas after he went out of his way to get my attention (I was on the leg press, with my earbuds in listening to music, you know, BUSY), to ask me why I wasn't smiling. I was SO annoyed. Really? You stopped me in the middle of exercising to ask me to smile? Why? I told him I wasn't…

Exactly:

Eyes on your own cart, next time.

Anyway, as a rule, I don't go around telling people to smile. It's none of my business why they aren't smiling, I don't know them, and no one is obligated to look pleasant for me because I'm a grown adult person and can go on with my day without expecting everyone in a 5 mile radius of me to behave like I'm in my own…

I take the Larry David approach.

When I was laid off and my mother was on disability, my youngest sibling decided to go volunteer at a food bank (not because of our circumstances, mind you, she just up and felt like it). Anywho, she'd come back with everything she could get her hands on that they couldn't give a way. Needless to say, after so many crates…

For ex: the last two nights I combined different frozen veg medleys (they were all steamable bags, different varieties, 3x$8? I think), some type of grain (once brown rice, the other, couscous), all of which I had on hand, so all I did was buy the protein and with a little jazz, was able to feed a total of four people both…

I buy a lot of frozen veg and frozen veg medleys, keep dried grains and legumes/beans on hand, as well as dry pasta, canned tomatoes and chicken broth, and only buy meat when I will be cooking it. Otherwise I keep a basic mire poix set up in the fridge plus a few staples I always use: onion/carrots/celery/garlic/bell…

I'm going to all the wrong pool parties.

lmao @ digestive system needing to "relax"

It's grown-up juice. It even comes in boxes.

I guess there's no choice but to look down on one group when you sit yourself up on a pedestal with another.

This is probably the best way I've seen it put. I think anything used as a "meal replacement" should be a giant red flag for "IT WON'T WORK IN THE LONG TERM"

I'm a member of LA Fitness by way of Bally Total Fitness, which I joined back in 2006/2007. I joined Bally during a promotion where I locked in a rate of $30/month with zero initiation fee. I think a few years ago, LA Fitness took over the Bally gyms out here (not sure if it was nation-wide), and they honored my plan.

*takes notes*

San Fran: Taqueria San Francisco for a burrito!

Is this a new dvd?

Just for a hoot, though, I'll throw out a personal preference. There've been days where I was STARVING prior to a workout. I find myself grabbing something like a luna bar and eating half of it to keep myself going. I just personally would rather save those calories and eat after a workout.

The only time I would eat something prior to working out, was when I was going to run for longer than an hour. I mean, if you're starving by the time you get a chance to work out, knock yourself out, but I don't think it's necessary unless you're doing something very intense.

Its what plants crave?

According to that, I'm a Tall Red Eye.

I'm very proud of your willpower. How do you do it??
