Linda i am going to run Bond Park on Saturday. The trails aren't very long. I'll probably criss-cross a bunch of them to make it a longer run but you're welcome to come with me for part (or all) of a run

I teach yoga at 11am so I can go before or after. I'd prefer before because it won't be as hot.

9/6/2011 10:46:19 AM

that's what i'm thinking. i went to the American Tobacco Trail around 9am on Sunday and it was really nice out. we can look to go around 9 if that works for you

9/6/2011 11:08:02 AM

I put it in my planner.... it's a date

9/6/2011 11:15:37 AM

YAY!

anyone else is welcome to run with us too. but just know we'll leave you in the dust

9/6/2011 11:23:58 AM

uhhh... yeah I don't know about all that

I haven't run in forever

9/6/2011 11:59:01 AM

Ughhhhhh

I found out that until all testing is done (i.e., endoscopic biopsy after my blood test comes back if it shows a positive result), I have to have some gluten in my diet


Guess I'm making cupcakes tonight

9/6/2011 3:21:45 PM

You should have pizza instead.

9/6/2011 3:22:40 PM

what cupcakes are you going to make?

9/6/2011 3:24:03 PM

I'm not a big pizza fan... But I didn't eat the tortellini at the wedding the other night so maybe I'll have that.

My sister got me a pretty sweet cupcake cookbook so I am definitey going to make something from there. The raspberry mint one caught my eye

9/6/2011 3:24:16 PM

I made homemade spaghetti stuffed crust pizza the other day. Spaghetti, cheese, and sauce IN THE CRUST.

9/6/2011 3:29:16 PM

that sounds wretched

9/6/2011 3:31:22 PM

NO! Just imagine biting into a big thick crust and tasting spaghetti inside!

9/6/2011 3:34:11 PM

Sounds like horseshit

Make a lobster ravioli stuffed crust pizza and then I'll be impressed

9/6/2011 3:37:59 PM

You guys must not like pasta as much as me.

9/6/2011 3:40:34 PM

Sounds like biting into a bunch of worms

No thanks


But I now have my heart set on tortellini for dinner... Any good brands recommended? It does kind of suck thinking how horrible I will feel after. :/ I guess that's part of the waiting game.



On a different note, I think I might try to enter in a taekwondo competition. Maybe in the spring

9/6/2011 3:43:39 PM

if you're looking for the "toss in boiling water... wait... voila..." type, trader joes makes some good ones.

9/6/2011 3:47:44 PM

HT has some good ones in their "HT Traders" or whatever they call it section, the refridgerated section by the sushi.

Maybe your store is set up differently, idk

9/6/2011 3:52:12 PM

Pasta and Provisions in Charlotte. Place is delicious.

9/6/2011 3:59:56 PM

We don't have either of those stores here

I guess I could make them homemade but tonight I got shit to do and want something quick but good

9/6/2011 4:12:47 PM

All grocery stores have the refrigerated tortellini. At HT by us it's in the back near the cheeses.

9/6/2011 4:20:21 PM

With all this talk of pasta, pizza, and cupcakes, I think we should transition this over to a "2011-2012 WINTER BODY CHALLENGE" thread.

9/6/2011 4:21:19 PM

Dude, really? Depriving yourself of things like that (or things you enjoy) is going to make you a miserable person. And just because someone has one of the above doesn't mean they are going to get fat all of a sudden


Slow your roll

9/6/2011 6:34:30 PM

I was making fun the fact that this is a "Beach Body" thread, and you don't get a cut physique unless you eliminate or severely limit the amount of high calorie starchy foods you take in. I wouldn't take it so seriously.

9/6/2011 7:07:36 PM

You can have a beach body without depriving yourself. Uber cut isn't necessarily everyone's goal. It's best for most people to shoot for healthy, balanced and sustainable.

Health, confidence and happiness. What more could you want?

9/6/2011 7:39:47 PM

I saw this dude at work take his diet a little too seriously today and officially called him out on it. Someone brought donuts and people were grabbing them, I'm about to go get one when I see Todd in there and he kinda looks around to see if anyone's looking (doesn't see me), and he takes a knife and then this motherfucker cuts a THIRD of a donut. Not a half, a third. He measured the shit out too, made like a protractor with the spork. I see him take a bite, obviously pleased with his work, and I go in there like "You gotta be kidding me" and he tries to play it off as a "small half" and then finally admits it and we lol

Lesson...watch what you eat, but don't be a bitch.

9/6/2011 7:42:45 PM

That's like the chicks I know who will chew up a cookie and then spit it in the trash. LOL

You absorb calories as soon as it's in your mouth. People are silly sometimes.

9/6/2011 7:46:16 PM

i need to feel more versed before i comment.



[Edited on September 6, 2011 at 8:43 PM. Reason : sfdsfd]

9/6/2011 8:41:27 PM

Joie you were on the right track.

While the calories consumed from the "chew and spit" are negligible, it still triggers the release of insulin which can lead to increased appetite and thus weight gain.

9/6/2011 8:50:13 PM

That habit is not good for your teeth. Plus, IMO, it's prob best to avoid habits that can trigger insulin spikes and sugar cravings.

9/6/2011 9:01:16 PM

one of the side affects of my new meds is a change in appetite, which happens to be less of a appetite for me.

kinda nice

9/6/2011 9:08:29 PM

thats what i thought...
thanks i thought it sounded right but i had no proof whatsoever i was just making connections from stuff i already know.

but that means diet drinks are out of the question




GIVE UP MY ARTIFICIAL SWEETENER? NO WAY JOSE.

ALL HAIL CANADA DRY

9/6/2011 9:32:06 PM

We all have to have a vice or two!

It's one thing to eat a cookie and enjoy it. Or drink a soda and enjoy it. But there's something about chewing a cookie and spitting it in the trash that seems less enjoyable in comparison.

Vernon's diet is better!

9/6/2011 9:34:48 PM

I got my girlfriend to mostly give up soda for this:



or



I realized what I liked about soda was the bubbly part. This solves it and there's nothing in it but some flavor and co2!

9/6/2011 9:46:02 PM

La Croix grapefruit is my fav! It's my beverage of choice at home.

Mixes well w/vodka too.

9/6/2011 9:54:50 PM

I had sautéed shrimp with tortellini - even though it's yummy I'm dreading the after effects

Guess it's going to be a loose dress day tomorrow!

[Edited on September 6, 2011 at 10:16 PM. Reason : Ps I got my white stripe belt ]

9/6/2011 9:59:26 PM

^^orange is my favorite. Sadly the local HT doesn't have it.

9/6/2011 10:17:26 PM

sonic tots are my weakness right now

9/6/2011 10:27:15 PM

Grats on the White Stripe Belt Samwise16!

I couldn't work out yesterday due to extenuating circumstances, but I'll be back on the wagon today.

9/7/2011 12:40:43 AM

Vitamin water zero with caffeine helped me kick my soda habit

i drink soda water on the regular.

9/7/2011 7:39:06 AM

i luuuuuuurve club soda - plain please! for some reason i crave it after a really long run

9/7/2011 8:14:20 AM

thanks Morphine Boy


and I guess I'll put up a "status pic"... just to give y'all an idea of how bloated I am





(and before anyone tries trolling, trust me.. I know it's mostly bloat)


Obviously I want to get it down and find out what's causing this.. Killing your stomach = not cool

9/7/2011 8:16:12 AM

I can vouch for Sam - I saw her recently and her belly did NOT look like that

good luck with everything

9/7/2011 8:17:54 AM

thanks love... and thank goodness for empire waisted dresses, amirite?

9/7/2011 8:20:05 AM

Just came in here to post:

9/7/2011 8:20:48 AM

Is that painful, Sam?

I only ask because that's what happens to me when I eat dairy ... and the bloat is accompanied by stabbing pains. I feel bad for you.
