Classical/Non-Popular Music Lovers???
This post is inspired by another thread talking about the best concert you've ever seen. Most people mention concerts of popular music, of course. Have any of you been particularly moved by a concert/performance of "classical" (baroque-contemporary) music??? If so, what's been your most memorable performance, who'd you go…

Tyson's Chicken Breasts...
Anyone else find them revolting?? I've been eating them for forever because their very inexpensive, but omg... lately every one I cook, no matter how well I tenderize it or season it, takes like freaking crunchy rubber. So nasty..... *insert barf face smiley* I've had organic ones from Publix before... by FAR way better…

The Perfect Blend? Thoughts...
Per an article published in the summer 2012 edition of Physique 3D magazine, written by Marie Spano, MS, RD, CSCS, CSSD, titled, "Power Trio", a study conducted on 19 'young, fit, adult participants', showed a blend of casein, whey, and soy protein provided the greatest anabolic window for muscle growth as compared to…

Anyone in Yuma??
Hi there! Just joined the group. My husband and I are moving to Yuma in a couple of months. Excited to move to the desert after living in NW Florida for the past year (well.... sort of). Would like to hear from anyone who's lived in Yuma or been to Yuma. I'm currently really happy with my PT and gym in Florida, but when I…

Gyms/Personal Trainers/Coaches in YUMA, AZ??
Hey everyone, I'm getting ready to move to Yuma in October and I'm trying to find myself a suitable gym and trainer. Not sure what's out there, but if anyone lives out there or lives nearby and has any tips, I'd appreciate it. I LOVE my trainer here in FL and I hate to leave, but thus is Army life :) I know SoCal is not…

Sometimes, the Army SUCKS!
Just need to let off some steam for a second... So, recently, my husband got orders to PCS to Yuma, AZ (we currently live in the FL panhandle), which is AWESOME! However, it couldn't have come at a more inopportune time. I'm a music teacher and my job at a charter school in the area is part-time and I absolutely hate my…

Time to get a trainer? Thinking about it. Opinions?
Okay, so I've been giving it a lot of thought, and I think it's time for me to hire a personal trainer. I've been following a routine that I found on BB.com on my own for a bit now, but I'm just not satisfied with it. I'm mostly considering getting a trainer because I don't feel like my routine is matched to meet my goals.…

Shoes for weight training
Sorry if this is a repost, but when I searched for "shoes" in the forums, there were like 50 pages of results... Anyways, I've completely trashed my expensive Brooks running shoes by wearing them in the gym and now they're getting on my nerves when I train, especially when doing side split squats or lunges or anything…

Weight Training and Gender
It makes me sad when I see tons of women on this site--bless every single one of you!!--who still live and die by the misconception that women don't need to/shouldn't/won't benefit from weight training. I've seen the results that can be produced from an effective weight training (plus cardio) and nutrition regimen. Not all…

USDA National Nutrient Database
Just thought I would share this really valuable nutrition tool with you all. I did a search and found the USDA's national nutrient database and it has virtually every food you can think of, right down to a complete breakdown of nutrient content (vitamins, minerals, EVERYTHING!). I'm a bit anal about being precise when I'm…

Early Morning Running
Hi MFP folks, I used to go running in the morning all the time when I was in high school, but that was a while ago. Since I'm losing most of this weight to go into the Army Reserves, I know that I've got weeks of getting up a o'dark hundred to go run and do PT. But as I'm trying to get myself back into that rhythm again, I…
