Usually on the label, it will say serving size 1/2 cup (xxx grams). What I do is weigh out the grams, but when I log it, I log 1/2 cup.

Lifting is addictive! I love that you got a rack and weights for Mother's day. That's awesome!

Hi! Welcome to the group!

Smart! I did a small wedding and I planned it all myself so I would have to deal with other people's ****. If I had to do it again, I'd listen when my husband pushed to go on a cruise and get married on the boat. :tongue: No weight workouts this week for me yet. I tried B day last night, but after my rowing warmup, I felt…

I have the Kindle edition, but would prefer the paper edition. Flipping back and forth to the diagrams gets to be annoying.

http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/926789-protein-sources The above thread gives examples of protein sources and includes vegan and vegetarian sources. I'm not going to comment on what you should or should not do since that is between you and your doctor. If you want to increase your meat consumption, find sources…

:laugh: I'm going to try to participate in the thread more this month. Try. I took an unintended week off last week due to the holiday (gym was closed and other obligations kept me from going on Sunday), family issues, and other commitments. I'm ready to get back under the bar.

I'm glad you posted this because this is something I struggle with as well. I have significantly more weight to lose, but the idea of my lifts suffering is really depressing. I did see in one thread floating around on the boards that fat loss should take priority. Not sure if this applies when you don't have a tremendous…

Throw in some avocado and black beans and it's amazing!

I use Songza playlists. I've got several that I rotate through depending on my mood. I did have a classic rock one that I had to stop using when lifting because it's really really difficult to sing and concentrate on what I'm doing. :smile:

Can't stop watching

Want all of this. Good article. I've always been pro-potato. How can you eat steak with no potato on the side?

Meh. I'm almost always the fattest person at the gym. Doesn't bother me. Go in, do your thing, and don't worry about anyone else. Can almost guarantee that they aren't worrying about you.

I pull mine out the night before when I pack my lunch and then heat at work so they're usually mostly thawed. You can heat them directly out of the freezer though. :smile:

I'm not sure how long they're good in the freezer. I just do a week at a time for my husband and myself and they're fine. I used La Tortilla Factory low carb whole wheat tortillas this time. Each burrito is around 300 calories but that will vary based on what you put in it and what tortilla you use.

I've been making my own frozen breakfast burritos. Takes about 30 minutes to make several. Just roll them, wrap in plastic wrap, and throw them in the freezer. To heat, remover plastic wrap and microwave for 1-2 ish minutes. You can use whatever filling you want.

I don't workout in the morning anymore (except maybe a light cardio dvd when I can drag my lazy *kitten* out of bed) but I used to workout fasted. I'll have a glass of water or two but that's it. Like Lishie, I don't like doing cardio when I have food in my belly. With weights, I try not to eat anything an hour and a half…

Cages are definitely the tricky part. I don't have room for one, but I still scope CL for them. I think I've found one in my area in the year and a half that I've been looking and maybe 3 in surrounding areas.

Sweetheart, that is ****ed up.

I would love to see this!

Bonus: you'll have "delectable" breath if you drink it.

That sounds really good and definitely something different!

Also, progress can't always be measured by tapes and scales. Are you stronger? More confident? Are the little things in day-to-day life easier (like carrying your child, climbing stairs, lugging in groceries)? Look at everything as a whole instead of the one thing that's going to cause you the most grief (also use a scale…

In an effort to tie all of this together, should lions drink coconut milk so they don't get worms?

I've warned my husband that he's going to get sprayed (if we decide to have kids). I figure he can't be mad if he's given advanced notice.

I've been following him on Facebook. Lots of good info! Glad you're back in the group (I only minimally participate, but am a full on lurker).

Then who invented gum?

Came here to post this. I'll throw in this one instead:
