How do you manage your PCOS?
So I got this diagnosis a couple of months ago. But I'm still struggling to find a diet that allows me to manage my insulin AND still enjoy the foods I love in moderation. How do you do it? Do you monitor your macro ratios (if so, what percentage)? Do you just omit bread and pasta? How do you get your protein? What other…

What say you?
I have a very delicious Cadbury creme egg (my favorite of all holiday candies) hidden from myself on my desk under some paper. Unfortunately, my calories are all accounted for. Resist the temptation or happily, lovingly indulge in my delicious, creamy, chocolate-y egg?

Salmon, Tilapia, and other fish
So, I really need to eat more fish. The problem is that my kids are not very fond of it. I want to start incorporating it into our meal plans, but other than baking it, I really have nothing else in my repertoire for fish. My kids have agreed to try some new things so long as I serve something other than baked fish. What…

The Vikings! Who watched?
I am heartsick over Legartha. I mean, I knew it was coming, but her relationship with Ragnar was one of my favorite things about this show. I know the writers aren't done with her character, but seriously, it was like watching a relative's marriage fall apart. Heart-wrenching! Poor Bjorn! And what about Rolo? I didn't…

PCOS and diet: I need some help.
So it has been confirmed that I have mild PCOS without the presentation of ovarian cysts. I'm not really clear on the adjustments I have to make to my diet. My doctor gave me Metformin and aldactone to correct my insulin and hormones. However, I don't know what foods I should avoid and when or if those foods are ever okay.…

TWD's Rosita
She seriously gave me girl-wood! That doesn't happen often. What do you guys think of the new characters? I know Rosita is probably going to be a minor character. Probably mostly just an accessory for Abraham. I think Eugene is a shady little SOB. I'm just waiting for it to come out that he doesn't actually know how to…

Cereal + protein?
I want to add more protein to breakfast. Not difficult... except that I love cereal. I use nonfat milk in my cereal, but I need more protein than that. I could eat an egg with my cereal, but I will eventually get tired of them. Bacon is great, but it's not exactly a quick breakfast fix. I have mixed whey powder into the…

The funniest thing I've heard all day!
Miley Cyrus gave Justin Beiber a little piece of advice. http://www.eonline.com/news/505872/miley-cyrus-gives-justin-bieber-advice-pay-people-to-make-sure-you-don-t-get-in-trouble Coincidentally, the webpage has a side-by-side shot on the home page, and they have the same hair cut!! LOL!

e-cigs in the workplace
So the other day, we had a work function. Several of my coworkers that work in the field were in the office. I noticed one of them using an e-cig in the building. Not sure if it was tobacco-free or not. Out of curiosity, I struck up a conversation with him about it. He said he started using them six months ago and hasn't…

Ideas for pumpkin-carving
Last year, I carved Ichigo from the Bleach anime wearing his hollow mask. <<<<<<<<< The kids went as soul reapers from the anime so it was kind of like a theme, but this year, each kid is doing something different. One is going to be Link from Legend of Zelda and the other is going to be Jeff the Killer from Creepy Pasta.…

Moving too fast
I am notorious for moving too fast in a relationship, meaning if I like someone, I'll have sex with them. But I suspect that this hasn't worked out too well for me in the past. And I have been wondering if men that I like have formed bad opinions of me because I had sex with them too soon. I don't do this to hold on to the…

Cortisol and diet
I have recently become aware of a possible imbalance in my thyroid hormones. I'm working with my doctor to pinpoint the cause, but as I'm researching, I'm learning that the imbalance can either cause or be caused by high cortisol levels. I do not know that my cortisol is elevated, but I suspect that it has, just based on…

So what's a real cut/bulk cycle look like?
So... I've been "newb-ing" my way through this, and I think I have gone as far as my bumbling around is going to take me. I don't think I'm going to get any more beginner gains from lifting, but my body fat is still too high for a legitimate bulk, not that I would even know how to do one. So what would a legitimate…

'Rolling Stone' defends Tsarnaev cover
http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2013/07/17/dzhokhar-tsarnaev-boston-marathon-bombing-rolling-stone/2523891/ Personally, I just think they did it cause he's good-looking. Thoughts? Not looking to start a debate. Just curious what people thought were the motivations behind this.
