What do you do with discarded egg yolks?
Hi everyone! I haven't started buying prepared egg whites yet, so I'm separating the egg white from the yolk and using just the egg white for my breakfast sandwich. I won't be using the egg yolks - custards just aren't worth the fat calories for me - so what do I do with them? What's the best way to get rid of them?

Balance?
Hey folks - I'm writing a paranormal romance and am about halfway through. Will not admit here how many pages I've vomited out; suffice to say that I'll be editing heavily once the draft is done. Here's my question for the peanut gallery: How do you prioritize writing and exercise? Given that both activities require…

Something that might help. Or not.
I'm a recordbreaker. If I detailed here the worst of my nights, it's possible some of you, even the ones who think of yourself as severely ill, wouldn't believe it. I've always been the sort of person who doesn't do things halfway, and eating has been no different. I've been struggling especially hard ever the last nine…

Up for a challenge, writers?
How about this? Write for 30 minutes a day - like the minimum target for exercise, right? And log it here somehow - I'm thinking I'll do it under "strength training." :happy: Bragging rights only. I know, it's Christmas, blah blah blah. But consistency is so important! And hey if you can't do thirty continuous minutes…

One more month out of my shoes - inserts?
So I've started doing some running intervals again, finally, and am way overdue for some new shoes. Don't have the money yet, so I'd like to find a way to use the ones I've got (a pair of Asics that were really sweet back when they were new and don't ask me when that was). Anyone had luck with inserts of any kind? As a…

Monday's Excuses
So let's see what the Whiner's *****ing about today... "Woe is me," she says, "I'm so tired!" Sergeant GetOffYourAss says, "You should have gone to bed earlier instead of staying up and watching Torchwood, you freaking couch potato." "Woe is me," the Whiner continues, "the Nike Training Club is SO hard, and besides, how…

Cauliflower: Ricing vs. shredding
Hey folks. I'm going to try the cauliflower pizza crust recipe tomorrow night. It calls for cooked, riced cauliflower, but the author(s) prefer to cook from frozen per package directions, then shred it with a cheese grater. Here's my question for those of you who have tried this. I have a box grater, the kind with four…

Tuesday's excuses
Here are the excuses I had for not walking/working out today, and the accompanying responses. Eventually I'm going to tell the Whiner that I don't have time for her BS anymore and to just STFU already. Feel free to add yours! _______________________________________________ 1. I don't have the right shoes. response: You're…

Modifying high-impact cardio
Hi folks! So I've had some luck with walking at a brisk pace throughout the day, power yoga, and the Gold's Gym Cardio Workout for wii. Fun stuff, all of them. Problem is, since I've dropped some weight and gotten acclimated to the Cardio Workout (even the tough stuff), I'm not burning as many calories in the time I have…

Help! Nighttime cravings
Hi folks. I've had some great success on MFP so far (10 lbs gone since March!) but I need some help. I love exercising, and I'm decent about food during the day. But right after dinner, the same sort of craving hits me that I used to get right after I quit smoking. It's not hunger. It doesn't even imply that I'll feel…
