    Upping protein intake

    For me Beavs I use a time released Whey protein powder (EAS) since I can get 25+ gms of protein with only 6 oz. of a drink. Not too filling, but you can make a smoothie if you want more. At work I like taking cottage cheese with fruit, veggies (peppers, cucs, onions, tomatos) since it is 14...

    what a mess - need advice because you guys are just so good...

    ITA you did your best to remedy the situation - you cannot control others, their personalities or whether they will even "get it". Tneah is spot on about the other side needing to own up to it too. Hopefully your children won't have to put up with the other Dad's anger for too long before it...

    Simply cannot do squat thrusts (Burpees)

    Jerry - I'm kinda with you. I can do them but not many before my lower back begins to bother me. I injured it badly about 10 yrs ago and it gets weak if I over use it when squatting down to pull weeds (for example) or sit for too long. Then I have to baby it. Right now I could hardly...

    Alywn,TT,Kettlebellers,P90X..Thurs

    Hey there ladies ! Just reporting my workout for today - 3 mi steady state run @ 9 min/mile. That's a good pace for me. Then walked another mile between 13 & 15/min mile. (Took in another "24" DVD while on the TM - makes it go faster:7 ). No time to read personals yet - will BBL when I...

    Alywn,TT,Kettlebellers,P90X..Hump Day

    Hi all - guess it is most likely evening where most of you are. Didn't hit the TM yesterday - forgot about a webinar I needed to finish. 4 hours last night and 4 tonight so don't think I'll be working out today. Had to get to work early to finish a payroll project for mid day today. Lora...

    All carbs are not created equal!

    I 2nd the La Tortilla Factory tortillas. Only 80 cals, I'm thinking about 8 gms of protein. Even better than a piece of good grained bread nutrition wise. Laura Max - not saying that my pea brain was working when I first posted, maybe I was thinking glycemic index? Guess I should check...

    First 10K - any advice?

    Thanks to all of you for your tips and advice. I see many suggesting the same things which is what I was looking for since I haven't even been to a race to observe. I have played a bit with the food and water and monitored my belly grumbles so think that will help. After all, it is only...

    very personal.....

    If you are worried, I seem to remember some newer PG tests out that "claim" to know quicker than in the past. Maybe check out your local pharmacy (or even on the web doing a search) to see when you might be able to ease your mind. I have to say that I have experience symptoms earlier than...

    Running then getting headaches

    Along those lines, what about it possibly being a tension headache. I have experienced back and arm pain from being "tense" while running and many times remind myself to relax my arms while running. Just another thought.

    Something every woman should read

    Great article - love how these people stopped letting others define them. It's tough as I am critical of myself too, but am working harder at at least respecting the fact that others see me differently than I do and we are all unique - though no one is perfect, we can all shine in our own areas !

    stupid magazine articles

    I am thinking they are trying to motivate the couch potatos to just get up and do some chores. Maybe it won't be actual "exercise" which some people just feel they dont need? Or, that if you combine your chores with exercise, just look how much you will burn. Course then people may...

    All carbs are not created equal!

    I think you are still looking at simplex vs complex. Don't breads fall into simplex and therefore metabolize quickly into glycogen? And the cereal is probably in the same boat, but since you are eating it early in the day and keeping your fruits and veggies later on in the day it is probably...

    A couple things I do when my computer is slow: Run your Disk Clean-up, then Disk Defragment program under Program, Accessories, System Tools. Also while connected to the Internet, go to Internet Options and under the General Tab, delete your temp internet files. As far as your hotmail...
