Should women who lift eat pop tarts or do more cardio?
Apparently having an actual question on something other than if women should lift, cardio v. lifting, sugar v. eating clean, showing your boobs, or whether or not pop tarts are food doesn't garner any attention, so the subject line of this topic is intentionally misleading just to see if I can get some discussion going on…

Long Distance (Open Water) Swimmers: Sinus Issues?
In less than a month, I'll be participating in a 10k open water swim. As part of my training, I've been upping my mileage in open water to around 6000m three times a week, with two shorter pool swims each week. I'm spending about 2 hours in the water on the long, open water swims and about an hour for the shorter pool…

Are you addicted to gummy bears?
I am. I found something that can take the edge off when I need to satisfy the urge. The recipe is: 4 packets of sugar free jello 1 cup boiling water Follow the directions for "gigglers" but only use 1 cup of boiling water instead of the 2.5 it calls for. Not as good as the real thing, but close enough. The entire recipe is…

Chuck Norris....
I was just reminded of these & looking to see if there are some new ones out there I haven't heard yet. My favorite: Chuck Norris isn't Lactose Intolerant, but he doesn't take any s--t from milk.

Water
Yesterday my wife printed a recipe for Stuffed Cabbage off of the WW site. It called for the sort of things I would expect to see: Cabbage Lean Ground Beef Rice ...but then something caught my eye. It called for 1/2 cup of Mineral Water. Mineral Water? Really? Tap water just won't do to make stuffed cabbage? Should I be…

I'm sorry, but this is just wrong...
I just went to log my dinner, doing a search for "beef chili". Two of the 6 or 7 "Chili's" that came up at the top of the list contained pasta. Forgive me, but I grew up in the Southwest, the birthplace of chili. Putting pasta in chili is wrong. It just is. So is putting corn in salsa. It shouldn't happen. So my question…

NSV: Pants
I'm having to replace all of my pants and shorts. :sad: I'm now wearing the same size pants as when I graduated from high school. :happy: That was 25 years ago. :noway:

Running o' the Green - Denver - Anyone?
Is anyone going to do Running of the Green in Denver on March 11th? I have no one to go with - just looking for people to commute/hang out before the race with.

5 Year Success Story - Before & After
December 25th of 2006 started off like most other days. I woke up hungover and with a certainty that I would soon be dead. It wasn’t that I wanted to die, I just didn’t care if I did. In some respects, I was anticipating that death would be a welcome relief to a life I was no longer willing to live. The fever would begin…

What makes you feel GOOD about you (that others do)?
I grow tired of the "pet pieve" posts, the "don't you hate it when" and the "I can't stand it when..." posts. How about posting about things that others do that make you feel good about yourself? Maybe we'll do more of it!!

Yoga NSV
So I'm still a beginner in yoga - started doing it back in September. It's a Sunday class, so we didn't meet on Christmas or New Years, then the yogi was sick last week, so it's been almost a month since the last class. There's a particular pose that isn't difficult from a strength or balance standpoint that I've never…

Dogs off leash
What's the best way to handle having someone's dog run up to you when you are on a train that is CLEARLY marked as Leashes Required. I had a dog this morning run up beside me and run along (granted, playfully) for about 100m. It's irritating, but would saying something to them actually do any good? They'll just tell me…

NSV - Pinky Ring
I'm an engineer and a member of a professional society called the Order of the Engineer. It's not so much a club as it is a sort of oath to promoting ethics in the profession, but that's another story. As a member, you wear a stainless steel ring on the pinky finger of your working hand. The NSV is that I was able to…

Quick: I need a reason
It's windy and cold, but sunny. I know I need to run to have extra calories available for the pile of Korean food I'll be eating later tonight - I do love Korean food! - but I am having a hard time putting my running gear on. I need 5 or 10 quick reasons to get me up and out the door! Thanks in advance!

LIttle NSV
I decided to buy a new suit today - seemed like it was about time. I've dropped 2 inches off my suit size (from 42 to 40), and even at that had to have the waist of the coat taken in a little. In addition, I bought a new pair of jeans today. I've been wearing 34's forever and all of my pants are getting loose. I thought…

1/2 Ironman - Training Plans or Groups
Is anybody out there considering signing up for a 1/2 Ironman? I've done 2 Sprints & one Olympic. I've also done a 1/2 Marathon. The 1/2 Ironman has sort of been my 'horizon goal' all along. I'm wondering if there's a group already out there for training plans, etc. I'd like to find out what others are doing in order to…

Swimmers: How do you figure calorie burn?
I'm an pretty good swimmer (I was modestly competitive in HS - as in, I could hold my own, but wasn't any sort of medal winner). I can swim 1000 yards in under 20 minutes - 15 if I push it. I've been logging my interval/set workouts as moderate effort for about 75% of the time I spend in the pool. For distance swims, I log…

Why many calories burned if.....
Has anyone else noticed that sexual activity doesn't come up in a search of Cardio activities? I've haven't looked under Strength Training....could it be there?
