Gotta keep trying, eh?

That's just because her fiber intake is low :D

In that case I suggest eating a whole box of dried apricots from the expired food store.

Oh wait, I don't suggest that to anyone.

Ever.

Especially not when you're at work.

LOL, this totally made me think of this song we used to sing at camp when I was a kid...

When you think your friends are joking
but your pants are brown and soaking:
Diarrhea, diarrhea.

Now you think you're feeling better
but you keep on getting wetter:
Diarrhea, diarrhea.

Toilet paper you need to gather
and your butt worked up a lather:
Diarrhea, diarrhea

When your stomach starts a rollin'
and you're cleaning out your colon:
Diarrhea, diarrhea.

When you're on the seat for hours
and it doesn't smell like flowers:
Diarrhea, diarrhea.

When the feeling's not that nice
and you have to flush it twice:
Diarrhea, diarrhea.

When you're rolling like a tire
and your intestines are on fire:
Diarrhea, diarrhea.

When your stomach really hurts,
and you know that it’s the squirts:
Diarrhea, diarrhea.

When you're miles from anywhere,
and your bowels just don't care:
Diarrhea, diarrhea.

When you're walkin down the hall,
and you feel something fall:
Diarrhea, diarrhea.

If I remember right, you just make up lyrics that match the pattern and rhyming scheme.

When you're eating apricots
and suddenly fire a couple shots:
Diarrhea, diarrhea.

Fantastic. :D

Edit:

When you're running to the can
and someone sees your "tan":
Diarrhea, diarrhea.

When you're driving home from work
and you feel a sudden jerk:
Diarrhea, diarrhea.

Lmao.

Oh yeah, we did that!

When you're driving in your Chevy and you feel something heavy..
OR
When you're sliding into first and your feel something burst
 
Why do I feel like this isn't working?????

P.S. I'm sick of trying to eat meat at every meal...I just don't want it.

Maybe I should get some Whey Protein?

After Orchestra I'm going out to get some bigger weights before this ominous snowstorm everyone is talking about comes.

Then....

I'm gonna use 'em!

I'll let you know how that goes.

What about egg, bean, legumes - not that I know what I'm talking about, oh cottage cheese! I wonder if I'm right giving this advice -:eek:
 
Don't like eggs or meat very much, fish and cheese are expensive, and cheese is fatty....and I hate to say it but I'm getting a little sick of cottage cheese. Looking into soy and beans sounds like a good idea, and I'm trying to incorporate more meat...I just don't WANT to eat it. I'd rather eat loaf of bread and a pile of rice than a chicken breast.

It's not that I can't do it, it's just that I don't want to.

I'm just complaining.

Thank you for the suggestions though:)
 
How much do you spend per meal, on average?

I have a suggestion that some of the others may want to veto, but it could be the answer to your problems. It's working very well for me. You can get Myoplex MRP's (meal replacements) at $2.50 per bar. I'm a super picky supplement taker, and I think they're delicious. I recently discovered that Biotest's metabolic drive is possibly even tastier (not sure if it's just because it's different from what I've been eating every day for 2 and a half weeks, or what) and only about half the price.

It's not "ideal" in the John Berardi sense, but it's (reasonably) quality protein and (reasonably) balanced in terms of macronutrients. The myoplex comes with a ****lot of vitamins and minerals in it, which is nice for me. Here's the best part: the bars taste like brownies, rolos or kind of an odd-tasting s'more, depending on which you get. Substitute two meals a day, and in place of where you might normally be eating junk/skipping a meal/etc you get some quality protein in a delicious snack. They are full of sugar, but I say, whatever. Portioning, craving control, and protein supplementation in one, convenient chocolate-bar tasting supplement. Haha, I sound like I'm going to profit from this somehow.

I think it might be very beneficial for you in the interim. I find it very easy to eat my "rabbit food" meals the rest of the day when I get to have two delicious chocolate bars a day. I also find them very filling, which is rare for me; something in them gives me loads of energy, I can't figure it out, but I think it's the zinc, magnesium and the b vitamins. After a few months, once you've seen some results and have developed some good habits, you can always transition away from them if you want to go with a very clean diet. :)

Just a thought. Also, soy products suck and are bad for you. Learn to like meat, or protein combining, or both. :D
 
Here's . Now, I'm not saying it's canon, by any means, but I've done some digging on the subject, and I don't like what I've seen, at all.

Really, you can come up with these sorts of complaints about most food sources, but I just think it's not right. Left to my own devices I prefer a diet of mostly meat, vegetables (if someone else does the cooking, lol, otherwise I am all about the convenient compromise -_-) and the occasional fruit or nut; this is something I think is much more aligned with the sort of stuff our systems have been selected for.

Have you noticed that any description of a "healthy" diet these days can basically be summed up with, "Eat what hunter-gatherers ate before humans (very recently, in the relative sense) became reliant on agriculture, overpopulated, and malnourished?" I have.

It's your call, and I'm certainly no expert, but given all the estrogen floating around, my already womanish physique, and the whole hormonal birth byproducts control thing, you won't ever catch me ****ing around with a food that raises my estrogen levels. I consider it poison. Besides, it has the taste and texture of rotting corpse. :p And the estrogen is only one of the concerns, as you'll see if you spend time with some of the research.

So I just got my new weights. I put them up on the counter...and the checkout girl couldn't pick them up!

Ha, I'm a superwoman.

THEN she asked me who they were for.

Haha...oh my.
 
Last night's workout:

Squats - 3 x 12 @ 20
Deadlifts - 3 x 12 @ 30
Bent over rows - 3 x 12 @ 15
Bench press - 3 x 12 @ 30
Side bends - 3 x 12 @ 20
Crunches - 3 x 15

I don't feel like I'm making progress, honestly. I am still going, still eating protein, still working out, but I snuck one peek at the scale and it says I've gained 2 lbs. I realize that this is a relatively arbitrary number, and there are a number of factors that could have affected it. However, due to my obsessive nature, after that incident I've been checking the scale every morning, and every morning I'm 2-2.5 lbs over.

I ate at Texas roadhouse on Monday with my cousin and had some ice cream.

Is this one outing seriously going to derail me that much?

This makes me want to revert back to my train of thought that small steps will do nothing, you have to be perfect if you want to lose weight.

Not true - you just have to be consistent with your food plan and your exercise. Not perfect, just consistent - meaning eating clean 90% of the time. It won't happen overnight either, but it will happen if you have the patience to see it through.
 
Quinoa

at the whole foods store it is inexpensive, easy to make. it is the highest protein content of anything, and it feels cool in your mouth.

you can add anythin from fruit to salsa.... it is delicious.

and it was Men's Fitness food of th year or something like that. But girlies can eat it too.
 
I'll look into that, thanks FF.

Unfortunately Indiana doesn't exactly bring on the options when it comes to whole foods.

NEW GOAL!

To need to have the bridesmaid's dress I just bought altered by the time it's time to wear it. :)
 
Raise your hand if Jen stole your posting style!
(Hint: Focus)

Today's workout:

Squats 3x12@30
Deadlifts 3x12@30
Bent over rows 3x12@15
Bench presses 3x12@30
Situps 3x12
Side curls 3x12@20

Really I just wanted to show you that I increased my weight for squats.

So, now I'm off to Retro meets Electro at ClubTherapy. Retro meets Electro...what the crap does that even mean? We're supposed to dress accordingly...raise your hand if you want to see what I'm wearing! Ha, I laugh.

These little dresses I love so much but my big bubble butt just makes them impossible to wear alone. Don't get me wrong, I love my butt, it just makes skirts and the like WAY too short in the back.

So that's that.
