Making Protein Shake...the night before
I'm dying to get back into making smoothies with protein powder. I love mixing it with skim milk, 1/2 frozen banana and frozen blueberries. I used to use vanilla powder. Question is..

Question for Nurses/Health Care Workers in the USA
Totally unrelated to fitness, but because I'm sure there are a ton of nurses on here I thought I would give it a try.... I'm thinking about travel nursing. I'm an RN in Canada. Because I have a 4 year old, I'm wondering how easy it is to find childcare, particularly on-site childcare at hospitals in the USA. I'm interested…

What do you DREAD about Christmas? and how to cope..
1. What do you dread about the upcoming holidays? 2. How do you cope/deal with it? I'll go first; I dread excessive eating and my mother's potential bad mood inflicted on me. I cope in many ways; drink a bit too much, play with the kids (ie. hide in the other room). :S

Spinning calories, 189lbs, 45 mins..
I've already searched for similar posts, but just wondering if anyone can give me a website that can calculate this fairly accurately. I'm 189lbs, 31 years old, did 45 mins of spinning (high intensity), HR @ 179-180 (aside from first 5 mins of the class). Like I said, not asking for anyone to calculate for me, but rather a…

I keep surpassing my daily calories...
So, people normally gain weight because they are inactive (which is not me), and/or they lack discipline and eat too many calories (me! me!). So here's the thing, I can't seem to discipline myself. I'm an evening snacker, so I'm thinking maybe I need to save up some calories from the day, in order to have some left at…
