PB2 - what do you use it in? Any good recipes?
I think I'm going to break down and buy some PB2 and chocolate PB2 online. I've seen a couple recipes floating around here, but would like to know what else you use PB2 in..... so please share.

Strange foods your pet likes
So I just discovered that my cat likes apples...because while I was holding the core he came up and started licking it. Never heard of a cat that likes fruit. I checked the webernet to make sure they were safe for him (onions, raisins, and chocolate are a no-no), and after finding out they are ok, cut some tiny chunks off…

What does NSV stand for?
I've looked around and can't figure out what that one stands for....can someone please 'enlighten' me?

NSV - Under Armour running suit
It's been both a long and very quick 2 years (as of Sept 27th) since I started my quest to get back into shape and feel really good about myself. I've lost 111 pounds, more inches than I know (since I never measured), and found more confidence than I thought possible. Yesterday I stopped at an Under Armour outlet yesterday…

Would you discipline someone else's child?
You're sitting in a crowded doctor's office and a child around age 7 or 8 is there....being obnoxious (climbing on furniture, crawling around on the floor, etc). Grandma tells the child to stop and 'come here' in a normal tone of voice.....for 30 minutes. The child whines about it and ignores grandma and continues doing…

Couldn't donate blood - low iron
There was a blood drive at work yesterday and since I hadnt donated in a while (8 years!) I decided to donate. Unfortunately, I didn't pass the blood test to check my iron so I couldn't donate. They said my iron count had to be 12.5 to donate and my counts (they repeated it just in case) were 10.8 and 11.9. I've been…

Horror movie fan
Do you like horror movies? I can barely handle watching Signs, and I have to peek thru my fingers at I Am Legend. Just saw a commercial for The Possesion and had to make myself think about unicorns and rainbows.

Dishwasher
Are you one of those people who have to have the cups/plates/saucers, etc in certain places in the dishwasher, facing a certain way, or do you just toss everything whichever way and slam the door? EDIT: To add.... I'm one of THOSE people who [try to] have all the dishes in their 'proper' place....or it makes me batty(er).

Get the **** Over It!!
This is for anyone who has binged (like me), or eaten poorly (me again), or skipped a workout (yep, me). I love Nerd Fitness and this article is SPOT ON with how to deal with all of the above. Here's a small excerpt: And here's the entire article: http://www.nerdfitness.com/blog/2012/08/16/get-over-it/ This should be…

You know you've reached a turning point when....
At some point during your Health Quest, you realize that things are getting easier, almost 2nd nature. One thing I noticed is that I actually look forward to eating my salad for lunch every day. A SALAD? Who gets excited about eating a salad? I DO! That's when I realized I'd reached the turning point in my healthy…

If you were a millionaire....
I love watching the show Secret Millionaire....so I wondered.... If you had $1,000,000 to give to any charity or non-profit (and yes, you have to give it all away), who would it be and why? It doesn't have to all go to the same one, you can break it up as you like. For me, I would start with Bikers Against Child Abuse,…

Cat owners - question about 2nd kitty
We adopted a beautiful, crazy, loving, vocal, smart, fun cat in January from a local shelter. He's now about a year old, and we think he's either part Bengal or Savannah (the vet leans towards Savannah). His name is Sheldon, after the character on Big Bang Theory, because he's so smart and quirky. We (well I, not so much…

HRM that displays calories burned mid-workout
I currently have the Garmin Forerunner 110 HRM and like it, except for one thing - I can't see how many calories I've burned while in the middle of a workout. I can see the time elapsed & heart rate, but it would be *nice* to see how many calories I've burned 'so far'. Does anyone have one that does that, and if so, which…

Have you kept your 'fat' clothes?
If you've vacillated up and down, did you keep your 'fat' clothing.....'just in case' or did you get rid of it? I got rid of all of mine. I don't even have 1 size up from where I am now. No way, no how. No excuses.

Logging stuff as exercise
Just kidding. I'd rather talk about bacon. Mmmmmm......bacon. And cake. Or a BACON CAKE!

Taco cupcakes
Got the idea for these from the lasagna cupcake recipe that is floating around here. I made those last night and since I had wonton wrappers left, tonight I made these taco cupcakes. - 1lb 90/10 ground sirloin - 1 pkg Taco Bell taco seasoning - 3/4 cup water - 1/2 cup red enchilada sauce - 1 cup Uncle Ben's Spanish Ready…

Posting pics in underwear
No, this is not another 'OMG WHY DO PEOPLE POST PICS IN THEIR UNDERWEAR' thread..... I have a real question that I'm curious to hear the answers to. First off, people (ladies mostly, haven't seen any guys yet....darn) who post pics in their bra/undies don't offend me. If I don't like it, I just move on, no biggie. I…

The 5K that almost wasn't
A few weeks ago I registered for a 5K for tonight at 7pm (about 90 mins ago as I type). I got home from work around 4:45pm, got some dinner, and relaxed while waiting. I planned to leave the house about 5:45ish to get to registration around 6:15 (due to traffic thru town) and have plenty of time to relax and get ready for…

How do you sleep?
When my daughter was a baby she shared our room for her first year (in her own bed). We found she slept better if there was a constant sound when she was napping (a white noise machine). Unfortunately, when we moved her in with our son, we needed (probably me more than my husband), a noise machine in our room as well since…

Chip time vs clock time
I ran a 5K this past week (you can read about the chaos here: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/647785-the-5k-that-almost-wasn-t), and just found my official results online. Chip time: 30:26 Clock time: 31:51 I was way in the back of the pack when the race started, so didn't cross the start line for a bit..... So…

HRM suddenly giving way different calories burned
I have been using a Garmin Forerunner 110 since last fall, and it has provided consistent results for 'like' exercise routines. For example, I have a routine where I will keep the treadmill incline at 3%, and do HIIT for 3 miles. Up until about 10 days ago, it told me I burned around 355 (+/- 5 or so calories). About 10…

Insomnia poem
For some inane reason I woke up at 3am today and could not get back to sleep. Perhaps it was due to allergies, or my erratic heart beat (darn early beats) or because I'm excited to go on my anniversary vacation on Wednesday (haven't had a trip alone with my husband in 10 years). Whatever it was....I couldn't get back to…

Is it wrong to be jealous....
.....of the woman who was just in the bathroom here at work? She came in and went into a stall while I was standing at the counter brushing out my Medusa hair from my lunch time walk. She started her bladder emptying, and I went into a stall....she's still peeing. I empty my bladder....she's still peeing. I am about to…

Odd/funny news article titles
So I'm reading thru the local online paper and came across this new story: "Body found in Grand Rapids cemetery". How can you NOT click on the link for that....and the first sentence is "Grand Rapids Police are investigating a scene where a body has been found in a cemetery." Well, at least I know where all the zombies…

Biggest Loser vs Extreme Makeover Weightloss edition
If you've watched both shows (Biggest Loser vs Extreme Makeover Weightloss Edition) which do you like better and why? I prefer EMWE, because it's not a competition against others, it's solely a person's competition with themself. No drama (at least with others), either. Also at the end of BL they wear girdles and spanx…

Father's Day (US) - What are you doing?
Father's day is coming up in the US this Sunday. Curious what you all are doing either for your father, father in law, husband (yes, I know he's not your daddy), favorite uncle, etc. I can't say, since my husband is a member here, but I did get him something cool that I think he will like. He better anyway.... :wink: Oh,…
