Hi I am not a vegetarian any more as we eat seafood and poultry these days but I grew up vegetarian and thougth these might give you some variety. I threw in the ones for Penne Mozzarella and Pasta with Beans and Spinach because I didn't know if you were Ova Lacto or Vegan.

The rest are vegan and very tasty I hate bland food!

I think cyclists are attention whores who feel the need to ride through rush hour traffic because the know they will have all eyes on them and that is what they secretly desire.

They may as well craft the helmets they wear in the shape and hue of traffic cones because they are equally frustrating, the only difference is I wouldn't do jail time for vehicular manslaughter for hitting a traffic cone.

I love this thread cyclists have miles of trails in my town that will get them anywhere around here yet they ride in the street at rush hour and muck everything up ......attention whores YUP!

Rochester NY and PROUD!

I love it here right down to the crazy weather!

Ricotta Cheese is awesome I like the fat free myself but it's all good in the protein realm. You can eat it with berries or any fruit really. Cottage Cheese is fantastic too. Also Kashi GoLean cereal packs a protein wallop. Nonfat yogurt is really good.

I like to take some unflavored plain fat free yogurt and mix it with a bit of Protein Powder some honey berries and some really crunchy cereal like grape nuts. This is really good for desert or after a work out. High in protein.

For dinners boca burgers rock and roll I like the original vegan ones even though I'm not vegan.

Peanut butter and other nut butters raw almonds.

I personally eat fish just no feet or feathers so if you like seafood salmon, swordfish all very good. If not forget I said that :)

All good stuff!

I love deadlifts, also love the clean and press!

What an amazing achievement 40 pounds is! You should be so proud. Sometimes taking 2 weeks off is a good thing and when you get back in the routine you'll be better than ever! We all need a break sometimes just to regroup but never sell short all you have achieved you are beautiful keep it up!!!

Original Post by kukua:

This is the best line in that article:

"Count Chocula was briefly discontinued to consumer conern over its sugar level. It has since been re-released in a more “healthy” form. It now has 9 less calories per cup."

 Why yes that was good but what about:

"The initial run of Franken Berry contained a dye that did not break down in the body and caused the consumers stool to come out a disturbing pink. This phenomenon came to be called…wait for it…Franken Berry Stool. A new dye was quickly implemented."

Ah yes fun facts articles are enlightening

Do you have something against legitimate compassionate expressions?

Oh Man!

I was a child of the 80's where you could never be too blonde to skinny or wear too much blue eye shadow!

I was 5'7 105 and I didn't even try to be that small I just was probably because i didn't know what a calorie was and I was too busy galavanting all over the place playing social butterfly! I thought I looked great then I put on 20 pounds in the 90's and realized I didn't look great anymore.....instead...I was Smokin Hot!

Funny how you change the way you think.

Not everyone wants to be a waif.

I suppose it is personal preference but I personallly think low carb is bad. Again personal preference.

Carbs fuel your body and give you quick energy. Energy you need especially if you are working out.

GI Jane is dead on about picking carbs intelligently refined flour and sugar are "empty" they pick you up and drop you. Veggies, fruits, whole grains, beans satisfy and energize you better and are used more efficiently by your body.

I personally Have a 20, 30, 50 rule  20 % fats (good ones nuts, olive oils, etc), 30 % protein (poultry, fish, beans, soy) and 50 percent carbs as noted above.

Good luck

Once you reach the top of the hill don't totally deprive yourself of the foods you like!

Just remember moderation!

I love a good drippy cheesy pizza once in a while!

Key words being once in a while!

Use common sense and budget it into your calorie intake.

Some people like the idea of a cheat day once a week. This is my philosophy. The day you have desert or go out to a restaurant.

Sometimes deprivation causes you to binge so by all means indulge on occasion but in moderation!

I love my Irish Rovers and Floggin Molly's and the POgues too!
