I liked them baked, with just salt and pepper. I find they are moist enough to not need butter.

The last potluck I went to, I brought a colorful black bean salad with a lime dressing. Black beans, tomato, onion, tri-color peppers, corn, avocado, etc.

This makes me sad. Poor little pizza. :sad:

This thread is making me hungry! I like to get a veggie (or chicken) burrito bowl with brown rice and black beans. Top with lettuce, a bit of each of the salsas, and some hot sauce. No cheese or sour cream, no guac, and don't even think about the chips!

More protein and fat will help.

You will get pregnant and die.

I had red lentil dal over brown rice. :love:

I eat what I want, when I want -- as long as it fits into my daily calorie goals.

Of course you can! Just follow the cooking instructions on the package, as some types can take longer to cook than regular pasta. ETA: The calories may be about the same, but whole wheat does offer better nutrition, and I find it more filling as well.

I would cut back on lifting, but not eliminate it.

I make sure I'm hydrated and do it anyway (within reason, and listening to my body as I go). Or you can wake up early to get at it before it gets too hot for you.

I don't think it's a bad idea, but I prefer to super-set or triple-set instead. ETA: What are your goals?

I am a badass!

It's never too early to start lifting weights!

How often are you training? It sounds to me like you might not be resting enough between runs.

Try some anti-chafe balm on your thighs to reduce the friction.

This is great advice. I used to think I couldn't run, but it turned out I just couldn't run as fast as I thought I should.

It does take time to get familiar with everything since there are so many characters involved. At the end of the book there's a sort of cast of characters list (at least there was in the e-book) showing the major houses and people in them, and how they are related to each other. If you spend a little time with that, and…

I'm a few chapters into book 4 at the moment. Love them, even though GRRM is a cruel man.

At my old gym there was a guy, about 30 years old, who always wore nice jeans and Doc Martens when lifting.

Instead of ditching him, why not talk to him about what you want to do? Cardio also has some great health benefits, and I do think it probably has a place in your training program, but I wouldn't feel I was getting my money's worth if my training sessions were eaten up on the treadmill!

Cook for 2, or 3 or 4, and portion out those extra servings (to go in the fridge or freezer) before you sit down to eat.

I just came here to say James Harden could get it. I'd love it if OKC won, but really I'm just hoping for 7 good games.

As mentioned, fartleks are a great training tool. You could also add in some hill workouts and more structured intervals. And, as with all things related to health and fitness: be patient.

My new favorite is about 2 parts chipotle salsa to 1 part FF greek yogurt. :love:

The best shoes for running are a pair that fit your feet and address any motion control needs. Go to a specialty running store to have your feet checked out and gait analyzed -- they will be able to recommend shoes good for YOUR feet and stride.

"Yes, I can have one piece of cake -- but I don't want to."

I got some pretty gnarly marks on my stomach from rapid weight gain as well -- much redder and uglier than the ones I've had on my hips since puberty. Since losing weight, the color has faded significantly and they aren't very noticeable any more.

Frank's Red Hot!

This is kind of old, but should give you some ideas: http://cache.dominos.com/homev8/docs/menu/dominos_nutrition_v2.21.00.pdf
