Soft foods required
I usually eat quite a bit of salad/crunch veg with meat, but at the moment I have a really sore throat and swollen glands. (awaiting result of glandular fever test) Its getting rather hard to not choose the buns/cakes etc due to them usually being soft and easy to swallow. A wee bit stuck food wise, as when i eat, i…

Not amused
Nothing to do with weight but oh well Every friday, I go to the local market and buy a slice of cake/cupcake/pie, I have loved all of them (I eat mostly meat and veg the rest of the week and exercise 4-5 times a week). Always go for the high fat option (buttercream/fresh scream etc to help with the blood sugar aspect) I…

I'm wanting dippers
Love my dad to bits so have taken to making him food to eat throughout the day (its saving money too) However he has a few chutneys and dips, which are mega tastey however he requires something to dip into them. The usual is crackers, however I'm trying to reduce his carb/salt intake (he also trains a bit) plus he has new…

Powerbreathe?
A mate mentioned about a powerbreathe machine after he found out I was asthmatic (sports induced). I am wanting to know if anyone has used these things, and if they have noticed any improvement? I sometimes feel like my asthma holds me back in my cardio sessions, even with the inhalers since you have to stop to take them…

NSV
Its small but i'm, kinda happy about it (also thinking it may of been a bit barbed) Me and 2 friends got in an elevator to go up to our work floor, 2 others joined in and said 'we will fit, we have 3 skinnies in the elevator' (we all had plastic bags from a supermarket with us to do a few days lunch and fruit supplies). me…

Kettlebell Training
Im taking part in a course of Kettlebells in the next week, to keep someone else company. I'm quite a gym bunny anyway (usually do a triple class then rest while others do the kettlebell).

Calorie Counting Watch
I'm dead curious how many calories I am burning during my own work outs (rather than using the estimate on the site, it would prove more accurate to me, especially on saturdays when I do a number of gym classes and walk multiple hours completely wrecked) I am wanting recommendations on a watch which can do that without the…
