Foods food ruts...do you have them?? Sep 01 2009

I do this all the time! I have the same protein powder/banana/rice milk shake every morning for breakfast (But--*gasp! the horror!*--this morning we ran out of bananas!!!). I do this because it's quick and simple and is perfect for 6:30 before exercising (not too big of a meal that makes me feel all fat and full just before exercising), but this food rut (I love the way you described that, fits it perfectly) is pretty debilitating because I don't have the skills or knowledge to whip up something fast instead of my usual when I can't make my usual. So I was late this morning and now I'm scrambling to keep up with my schedule.

So, I think I should work more on changing up breakfast to keep me on my toes and give myself more experience at how to improvise.

Thanks for this topic to get me thinking! :) Good luck to everyone with their own little obstacles!

Lol, yeah. I guess I'm just cranky and tired. I do like spending time with Mum--but she talks alot and I like to be more quiet, like my dad. Sometimes, if I'm with her too much, we grate on each other's nerves and I have to go be alone for a while.

Wow! Me and my family built our house too! I was 7, and it was in the mountains, where we used to live. My dad used to build log homes, till the housing market slumped, and now he's a contractor and excavates, though a few weeks ago he was out helping some old family friends build a log barn. (I went. It was fun!) We had a great time building our house, and my mom did the wiring and stuff. High fives to home builders! Laughing

M'kay. So, I should be eating fruits, vegetables, stuff like that? I haven't even gotten 1000 today, I think. *bites lip* Er. I should probably go get a snack.

Hmm. Does it matter at all that I've been feeling fine on 1200? Or does the hunger level not really change the caloric need? I dunno--1500 just struck me as being pretty high.

LOL, I absolutely love when a guy's veins can be seen through his arms... not necessarily because he's insanely skinny, but there are some guys that just have such visible veins & I find it so hot haha...

Omigosh! Yes! Haha, I have this thing about veins, on hands, forearms, anything. Not just on guys, either. I've always been really frustrated with my hands cuz the veins don't pop out (though they are much better now, you can see the bluish veins through the skin) Lol. So I'm not crazy. :P

Wow. I've seen Paula Dean commercials, and really enjoy those, but I've never really watched the entire show. I laugh when that commercial for her bacon comes on and she is smacking her lips ("Oh, delicious!"), though that's probably a pretty mild demonstration of her amazing, deep-fried, greasy, putting-random-things-together talent. Though...the deep fried cheesecake does sound disgustingly appetizing.... :P

I kind of worry about that poor woman. I'm sure every heart doctor in America just dies when they see her.

Health & Support Chances of getting pregnant while using birth conrtol and a condom? Jun 17 2009
04:07 (UTC)

I dunno--I say, better safe than sorry! I have the same type of situation (though probably not exactly.) I'm 15, so it's not much of an issue at the moment, but I have pulmonary hypertension and there is a risk of complications with pregnancy, especially at the altitude I am at. If I ever got pregnant, it would have to be under doctor's supervision, and ideally, at sea level. I would just wait...after all, it is life threatening, and if there's even the slightest chance of something happening, I'd just play it safe. Good luck!
