Peanut Butter
Hey guys I want to add in peanut butter to my chocolate protein shake mostly for the flavor. I remember reading (somewhere) we shouldn't be eating normal peanut butter because of the sugar (or something). What type of Peanut Butter should I be eating? (Sorry if this is on the forum somewhere I have no time to search :( OMW…

Zombie 5K!
http://www.runforyourlives.com/ Any of you guys doing this? I'm signed up for the SoCal event in Oct and starting to train now. This should be pretty epic AND I should be under 200lbs by then (yay).

My favorite low cal snack...
Chopped Celery and Radishes. I usually chop them up and put them in a big bowl and then add in a bunch of cilantro AND a bunch of crushed red pepper! :D I'll eat a sandwich ziplock bag in between meals and it really hits the spot. I imagine the red pepper is doing something thermogenic to my system and making my insides…

What would it take for you to give someone the bird?
Not an action but if someone asked you to give them the bird for a photograph. Would you just do it by simply being asked? Would it take some crazy idea? How would you want to be approached? I'm going to be doing a new project and it involves me asking people to flip me off so I can photograph it. I want to be able to…

I know most of you are going to be like, DUH!
I'm the type of guy that I like to find things out for myself. I also like test various "things" people say as fact. Quite frankly most of the time people are just wrong. They are wrong because they heard something or read something and accepted it as fact so state it as fact. So starting last weekend (Saturday) I stopped…

Taking a break from running.
I ran straight for 1 month. 7 days a week with every day trying to improve on my times with no issues what so ever. Last Sunday I took a day off and now my knees hurt. So I'm going to slow it down over the next week and do fast walks up and down the hills in my neighborhood. Hopefully it just takes a week and I can start…

It has all come to light! This is what I have been training
http://www.warriordash.com/ My new goal is to train for this event. For me It will be in April so I have time for that but I have friends is Northern Cali that are big into running too and I may do the NorCal one also with them.

Motivation!
During my run I was thinking about everything that motivated me. It's not a whole lot but it's all about quality over quantity. Of course I gave MFP it's props :) http://patrickbowman.com/motivation/

Running Graph
I just added a Running Graph to my blog for anyone interested in progress thus far. >_< http://patrickbowman.com/my-running-graph/ This is my progress from no running at all to running/walking fast/hiking every day. I pushed myself hard twice with the 10 miles but at least I know my limits. In a month or so I will do 10…

OMG... SO ANGRY!
UFC tonight... are you kidding me? Nam Phan losing by decision? He got robbed with Johnson in TUF and now robbed in the UFC :\ Man my night is ruined tbh :\ I've never been this angry at the UFC. Not even when Matt Hamil got robbed against Michael douche bag Bisping.

I want to see a doctor... but don't know which to see.
I have PPO insurance and I want to see a doctor about my current health, weight loss, diet, and exercise. I don't want to see a general doctor but someone very specific that would know all the correct tests to give me etc. I have SO many options on my site when choosing doctors so it is getting very difficult trying to…

Do we have any MFP Nike+ users here?
If you don't have Nike+ check into it... I LOVE it. I use the Nike+ GPS on my iPhone and it tracks the routes I take. After I am finished on a route I can go to nikeplus.com and compete against anyone that was on the same route. I can also look up routes then go run those to try and beat whoever has the current fastest…

Just got done with my first 10 miles...
I'm going to lay down and die now.

Is it possible to burn through so much fuel...
that you could go multiple days without pooping? I'm on 4 days with no poop atm and ran 28mi last week 8.5 tonight.
-
Just had a thought...
So about an hour ago I finished a 4mi run. When I got home I showered and then ate my lunch. ~30min later I feel really nauseated. Like I can reverse my food right now as I type this. I ate a 33o cal meal and ate it really slow chewing a lot so I got really full. My question is: If I did reverse my lunch; would I lose all…

Did a 10K today with the wifey today.
I haven't exercised in about a year. This week I started getting out and hiking around the hills in my neighborhood. I had a great progression this week: 2mi, 3mi 4mi, 5,mi 7mi :) Next goal will be 10mi then after that I will work on trying to run around on a more flat surface but faster times. I averaged 19mi min today.…

I should have just turned around :(
I went out for my hike today and I completely forgot to change into my exercise boxers :( I usually wear boxers that are tight and go down slightly on each leg. My normal boxers are briefs that are really loose. Now I am chafing on my inner thighs ugh :( I should have just went back home and put on the right boxers.…

Plateauing...
I've been thinking about how people eventually plateau and how to prevent/solve that. This is a theory that I will be testing out but perhaps one of you already though of this and proved/disproved it? My primary source of exercise is hiking up a hill for 30-40min then hiking back down. If I replaced every 10lbs lost with a…

If you are unable to cook...
I highly suggest Healthy Choice: Cafe Steamers. These things are rad! Small bites and shewing a lot it totally fills me up during the day. With 2 of these and a can of health choice soups (some times small snacks) I am coming in at or below all of my nutritional values per day. Where-as before I was WAY over on sodium…
