A peekapoo is not a real breed.  It's two breeds.  It's a mutt.  Just like a schnoodle.  Mutts. 

They would only be considered a real breed if they produced offspring that were identical to the parents.  If you mix a pekingese with a poodle you'll get some pups that look like a peke, some that look like a poodle, and some that will look like a mixture of both.  Then their kids would produce the same thing (some would look like pekes, some poodles, and some a combo).  It takes a very very very very long time for mutts to become an actual breed.

My dog is part Australian Shepherd part some type of retriever/gun dog.  She was bred that way on purpose.  However, that doesn't make her an "Australian Retriever" or whatever cute name someone can come up with.  It does make her super cute though.

 

I totally agree with you.  I think its crazy that they can charge $600 for a hybrid.  But, over the years, these dogs have been considered real breeds.  To me, it doesn't make a difference.  When ppl ask what kind my peekapoo is, I always say a mutt.  I just wanted to make the point that some of these breeds are very desirable and they can be found at any local shelter if you keep looking.

Your dog, is amazing!  So cute!

I am a bisexual female. But I know plenty of guys who are bi. Google "Kinsey's Continuum" - it's a popular gender theory that most of us are not straight/gay but somewhere on a continuum between the two. 

Hey, although Kinsey did many many experiments with sexuality, I must worn you that SOME of his experiments with males, such as, 40% of males have had an orgasm from other males, were conducted in all male prisons.  I'm not trying to be debbie-downer, I just want people to be aware that studies are very deceiving.

I am OBSESSED with morninstar farms chik'n burgers original.  I eat 2 (280cals) for lunch with a lil bit of ketchup or mustard about 5x/week.  I don't mind the slices, but I don't go outta my way to buy them cuz I can't have gluten and I can only eat them with sandwiches!  There are a TON of options out there.  Do you have a local Trader Joe's?  They sell a lot of vegan/vegetarian products!

Welcome!  You tell your story very well!  Make sure to keep us updated on the progress!

My BF is crazy too, he is 6'0 and weighs in at a whopping 127lbs.  The poor guy, sometimes he hates it and other times he doesn't care but the worst part about it, he eats like a mad cow.  During the week, at work, he goes out for brekkie at least 2x and 2x a week goes to McD for brekkie.  For lunch he usually has a sandwich with the grossest amount of meat I have ever seen in my life.  He will have an afternoon snack consisting of M&M peanuts/chips/reece's peanut butter cups/jolly rancher gummy, he will choose 2  snacks from the vending machine.  He thinks water is useless so he always drinks juice or 2% milk.  For dinner, he has a pretty square meal, but then at night snacks on chips & dip or easy mac.  Like this kid, is the unhealthiest guy I have ever met, but you would never know it by looking at him.  I'm majoring in Nutrition at Uni so it's impossible for me to think about what he eats.

The weekends are impossible with him too!  Fast food and big brekkies all weekend long, and lots of beer!  Poor guy, but we've been dating for 6 years and I still love him to death, so don't worry too much about it.  I've always weighed more than him!

Yea I have a tub of tzatziki in my fridge right now, it's just so high in fat.  But I guess I can tweak it if I make my own.  Thanks for the suggestion!

I love love love yogurt and I can put it on anything and think its the most amazing thing ever.

LAst weekend I had cooked spinach, ground turkey, EVOO, lemon juice, and a tiny bit of basmati rice and then loaded 1.5 cup of fat free yogurt on it.  OMG greatest meal ever. 

Last night I had steamed brocc, cauliflower, and carrots covered in greek yogurt.

I love falafel with greek yogurt on it.

Ummmm I love eating fish for breakfast.  I think most ppl think thats weird.  Sushi this morning, salmon the other morning.  

I used to love eating hot dog buns with just cheeze whiz in them, no meat.

Umm, I love yogurt soup too.  Ha ha, so much yogurt.  I also love love love this yogurt drink I make with chopped (super small) cucumber, garlic, salt, yogurt, and water.  Can you tell my family is from the mediterranean?  yumm I love yogurt!

I think those are all my weird eating habits!

Bananas are AMAZING for pre workout snacks!!!!  Also, easy to carry around all day!

Setting a high goal is sometimes better for dieting.  Maybe she won't allow herself to have a cheat day if she sets a high goal.  It doesn't mean she is going to starve herself or get discouraged if she doesn't meet that goal.  It's just a good way to get back on track for some people.

Lovely mom, we studied the dash diet in my nutrition class, the results are amazing referring to hypertension AND most people kept the weight off for an entire year!

Welcome back, we all need to take some time off sometimes!

take your weight in lbs, divide by 2.2 to get weight in kgs.  then multiply by 0.8.  That is your protein intake for the day!  Most people think this number is far too low, but I am a 3rd year dietetics major, and we learn that americans take in far too much protein and the recommended protein intake is much lower!  Hope this helps! 

I go through the same thing.  I LIVE FOR those 100 cal cadbury chocolate bars when its TOM.  They save me.  I eat at least 2 every month.  I also air pop about 10 bowls of popcorn. Which isnt too high cal unless you add butter/oil or something.  I just add cayenne pepper or something like that.

Try snacking on foods that you know are basically "empty" calories, if there were such a thing.  For example, celery, tomatoes, cucumber, mangoes, etc.  Also, although eggs have a bad rap, there has been a lot of research that shows you burn 75% of the eggs just by digesting them. 

Hey, I started taking PGX too, I also asked a question in the forum but got no results 

hows it working for you?

I LOVE step classes.  They are the best.  Unfortunately for me, all of the step classes at my gym are only offered when I am sitting in lecture, ugh.  Anyways, seriously at my last gym after 2 weeks of step class (3x week) my legs looked AMAZING.  Good luck, I hope you love it!
