4/20 Easter
So the InterNetz are a buzz about Easter falling on 4/20 this year. My only concern is that there could be a severe lack of 50% off chocolate the day after. This, obviously, brought the Keanu Reeves meme to mind... Is anyone else concerned about the post-Easter half-price candy? Other thoughts?

I haven't been logging my celery! Ermahgerd!
I just realized that I haven't been logging my celery sticks! I eat at least two or thee a day, I'll never reach my goals now! *whine* :sad:

Elevator Courtesy
Elevator pet peeve: I hate it when there are clearly *several* people trying to get in an elevator, and the first one in decides to stand in front of the buttons, like they're the elevator operator, rather than moving to the back to let others inside.

How many calories burned while pushing a pickup?
Wow! We got stuck in the ice yesterday, and I ended up pushing our truck three different times to help pull out of it. That was probably the most exhausting exercise I've done yet! On the bright side, all the strength training I've been doing over the last several months came in handy. On the downside, the tread on one of…

Progesterone and Estrogen While Dieting
I have been trying to research this, but the only things I'm finding don't offer anything helpful. In fact, most of them turn out to be selling progesterone pills. Is anyone aware of research on this?

Learning Nutrition/Calories in School
So apparently they have really ramped up nutrition education in schools since I was there. We had the food pyramid, now the kids are using the internet to learn about nutrition. http://www.choosemyplate.gov https://www.supertracker.usda.gov/default.aspx My son had a homework assignment last night to track a typical day of…

Must be time
It must be getting to that time again. My cycle is getting messed up. My period came a week early last month, like around the 24th in stead of the 30th. I don't know. I just want to roll into a ball and cry right now, for no apparent reason at all. :sad:

Eating at Maintenance for the Holidays
Just as a contrast to another thread about starving for the holidays. I plan to eat at maintenance for Christmas dinner, and also for the company Christmas party, and maybe even on New Year's. Also, I plan to eat the occasional Christmas treat, including my beloved peanut butter balls and iced sugar cookies. Anyone want to…

Vegetarian Dinner?
My daughter's friend is spending the night tomorrow night, and she's a vegetarian. What can I fix? I would like to have something where the rest of us can eat some meat as normal, but that would be a nutritionally decent meal for my daughter's friend without the meat. Any suggestions?

The original recipe that I used was: 3 Cups oats 1/2 cup brown sugar 1 cup milk 2 tbsp butter, melted 2 eggs 2 tsp baking powder 3/4 tsp salt 2 tsp vanilla…

Types of fats
I have read a few places that have stated that when it comes to saturated fats, the key is to take in less saturated fats than unsaturated fats. Discuss. :smile:

Canned pumpkin and spice cake mix?
I can't find the thread that had this recipe. It was a spice cake mix and a can of pumpkin, and maybe club soda? I bought all three at the store, plus an angel food mix, and now I can't find the recipe. :explode: Anyone know what I'm talking about?

Starting weights
I stopped in the fitness section of Target last night to price some hand weights. They had a 20 pound barbell that I could barely do two curls with. I was able to do the 15 pound one pretty easily and did 5 without feeling any pain. If I were to purchase one, should I go ahead and start with the 20 pound one? Any opinions?

Body Mass Calculator question
I have been using the following tool to calculate body mass: http://www.scientificpsychic.com/fitness/diet.html Since I recently measured myself again and took a scale weight, I decided to recalculate it. Three weeks ago it said that I had a lean body mass of 87 pounds. And now it is saying that I have 91.4 pounds of lean…

12 Weeks - Progress Pics
I really hadn't planned to do progress pictures yet, but for some reason I decided to have hubby take them, and I'm glad I did! :bigsmile: It is *so* hard to really notice a difference when you look at yourself every day, but pictures tell the real story. I just shy of being 1/3 of the way to my goal. I already feel so…

Spinning
I Googled spinning, and I'm not sure how it's different from a stationary bike. And why are there classes for it? How is it different from a stationary bike, if at all? I am just curious because I had never heard of it and I'm thinking of the "Sit and Spin" toy I used to play on as a kid. :tongue:

Does your body know?
Does your body really know if you ate a protein bar VS a "normal" meal? Or does your body grab the nutrients from whatever you eat, use what it can, store any extra energy, and then get rid of the waste? Think about it.
