pgeorgian I also heard that there was some sort of wheat fungus that killed crops as well. Meanhwile all the suggestions on how to help have inspired me. In addition I really think I want to learn to grow a little of my own. Obviously this won't help me in the winter in the midwest but I do feel like we are SO reliant on others for the basics of life. |

Okay but if we have so much food WHY are those stores rationing? And I was being tongue in cheek. I'm truly afraid we can't help in this crisis at all. |

I also think there's a company that does weight loss muffins as well. I am pretty sure the only way for me is to eat what I want but limit portions. If I'm DYING for a cookie and I'm going to spend the calories on it than it better be a good cookie. Tasty cookie. Big Chunka Choco... I'll stop.. it sounds like cook porn now. |

I am also trying to figure out how to find more time for the sleep. 5 hours isn't enough. It just isn't. |

Spedteach and Sharz I'm all about coming up with ways to control the chocolate craving. I had a bad weekend but I do feel I got it under control after the weekend ended which is a big thing for me. I tend to go on a "bender." Welcome Sharz!! |

I don't know she admits to having the surgery because of all the pregnancies. I mean what DO they do with the belly button if you have a tummy tuck? Or if you have face lift are you at risk of having your ears disappear? |

Actually I have been really watching the carbs since monday. I wonder if I can use it to get "under control" and then switch to a calorie counting so I don't have that Atkins rebound. I think Atkins even suggests a calorie count if you plateau... It's like you have to trick your body. Oh and I bought a pedometer! |

| I'm considering Atkins because I'm feeling bingy and out of control. And if I really restrict the pasta, rice, bread and sugar I do feel more under control. | |||

I agree about the perception thing. I think the main take away from this "study" or more like survey really is that you might reduce the amount of time you feel sick if you forget about weight and take care of your eating and exercising. Even if your weight stays the same you'll still feel healthier. Either way this is EXACTLY The kind of discussion I was hoping for here. |

p0nda you are right it is about perception. If you think you've got this really high number on the scale you start to feel physically bad too. But say you focus on keeping your other stuff together and maybe move the number to the back burner you feel physically better. But it's like I said if you are eating in a way that makes you feel in control and being active you are going to feel better. For me binge+fat+out of control = digestive problems, fatigue, head ache.

Well if your pregnant cesty8 I'd say feeling good 50% is pretty good. Ugh! It can drag you down. And mostly i think you feel sick when you feel fat. When my weight is high but I'm actually exercising and not eating crap I feel better. Even though I'm still chunky. |

I have so many hamster disasters. As a kid one escaped... chewed off one of Barbie's legs and I found him feet up in the bottom of the toy box. There were other incidents... too painful to talk about but finally I got one that I totally ignored. I mean fed it, watered it and then TOTALLLY ignored it. It lived for years and years and never escaped. I liked just chilling without any supervision. I hope you find yours CD. |

Thank you Monarch! Monday after the Superbowl should be some sort of national holiday I think. I've been having too many free days lately too. For me.. this is it. Wednesday I reign it in. I SO want to feel good about my waistline on Easter and not so mad at myself. |

I'm sorry about the job CD. I heard poonch-key if it's many, poonch-eck if it's one. And if you are Catholic... today's the big binge day and then it's time to hunker down. I'm afraid I won't be able to. :( I have no willpower. |

Just to clarify Polack is generally considered derogatory in the English Language. Pole is the proper name for a Polish person. Polack is actually what Poles in Poland call themselves. But calling someone of Polish decent a Polack when you're in the U.S. isn't nice. I'm not saying bangs are bad or inherently evil. I'm saying I've had very bad haircuts usually when I ask for "whispy bangs" things don't work out. And I do regret this one sequined skirt I have that hangs in my closet mocking me. It says "Remember 6 years ago when you looked good in this?" Oh wait, maybe sequins are inherently evil. CD living a life with no regrets is terrific. For the most part my regrets are minor.. the bangs... the extra pastry... and maybe sometimes my attempts at humor. I for sure plan to endulge a little on Fat Tuesday too. Then I'm thinking I'll give up something for Lent like all sweets but fruit. Does anyone else give up things for Lent?

| Fitness | Can I exercise when sore? | Jan 27 2008 01:17 (UTC) |

My hubby is a body building type and I'm NOT an expert but he always says that working out sore muscles is a good idea. That actually lactic acid is what makes you soar and working out again produces lactate and this somehow reduces the acid. Type in Lactic Acid in wikepedia and they explain it better but muscle soreness should be a reason to work out again, not stop. I haven't exercised in a week so I really shouldn't talk but that's what my live in expert says. |
