FOR ALL YOU SMOKERS OUT THERE.....
SO we went out to dinner with friends the other night and the guy was smoking this new contraption ~ an electronic nicotine delivery device. It looks just like a cigarette but has these nicotine cartridges in. The end lites up when you suck on it just like a cig and you are able to blow out water vapor that looks like…

THE BMI
I see a lot of people on here get really choked over what their BMI is and totally negate the amazing successes that they have done in getting healthy. THe BMI kind of reminds me of the scale.......THE DEVIL. :bigsmile: The BMI was created in the 1800's by a Belgian polymath named Adolphe Quetelet. My beef with the BMI is…

Athletic Trainer vs. Personal Trainer
I am all up for you guys sending me emails about your injuries and what not on here. Keep them coming. I just want to give a little background on what I do and how I am NOT a personal trainer.

Pull Ups
So I just purchased an Iron Gym pull up bar. I have never been able to do pull ups and that's my new goal.....among others. The thing is pretty easy to put together and it fits my door fine. Plus you can use it for push ups and sit ups along with the pull ups. I like it so far. I'm going to start doing reverse pull ups…

Totally obsessed with....
The dried soups from Honeybaked Ham. The hambone bean soup is totally to die for and has a TON of fiber in it. They are soooo easy to make and they make like a weeks worth of dinner for two. Anyone else tried them??

Going back today!!!
All the other times that I have tried to get back in shape I'll do it for a couple weeks and then sometimes I get sick and stop working out. Once I'm healthy again I find that I usually never go back to the gym. Today, as I go back to work from being out for a week with strep I find that my gym clothes are already waiting…

Day 4 of Strep and Freaking Dr's (lengthy venting)
Well luckily after not being able to work out due to be outta town and having strep throat this week I still lost weight.:happy: I'm a little irritated at my Dr. and I just wonder why they don't listen to their patients and just presume they know what is right. I get strep throat a good 3-4 times a year and have had this…

BLAH!
I came down with strep throat yesterday and I can't wait for it to go away! I was out of town this weekend and had the worst time getting home yesterday because I had terrible body aches! :sad: I was so looking forward to getting back to working out since I was unable to this weekend and then this had to come…

How Much Is Too Much??
So I'm coming to the end of my 2nd week on MFP and I've worked out 10 of the last 11 days ~at least 45-50 min of cardio and some sporadic strength training. My cardio was SOOOO hard to finish today. Totally exhausted! Is my body rejecting cardio?? :smile:

WATER
Okay....I see a MILLION people on here talking about how much they love water and drink tons everyday. Well.....what if you don't like water???? I hate drinking water. I've never liked it and have to force myself to even think about it as a possibility. I pretty much just drink Diet Coke. Any suggestions???

Favorite Diet Books
Does anyone have a favorite Diet book?? For some reason I love reading these. I don't always actually do them but I like to be in the know of the latest fad. My latest favorite is How the Rich Get Thin by Jana Klauer, MD Klauer's diet plan isn't revolutionary, but her approach is noteworthy. The author, a research fellow…

One Week Down
and WTF! I didn't lose anything!!!!! I stuck to my diet like white on rice and I did cardio for 40 min. for 4 days this week and weight training twice.
