....and thigh adductions/abductions are about as useless as anything you can do in the gym.  Not to mention none of them mimic any sort of real life motion or use any stabilization muscles at all.

LIES! Lol. They're perfectly useful if you're conditioning for hockey, can't tell you how terrible my abductors/adductors are and how many times I had to pull them until I got the point. But, I think playing hockey is the minority activity here so... :P

Not really. There's tons of peanut butters out there that don't taste exactly like peanuts.

My point is: What the hell is the point of eating PEANUTbutter if you don't want it to taste like peanuts?

Original Post by thatfatgirl:

Does it taste like peanuts or does it have a sweet taste? Me don't like peanut butter that taste like peanuts.

Then I suggest you eat spoon fulls of corn syrup ;P Kind of defeats the purpose of eating PEANUT butter eh?

The BF digs on maki, so what.

Where do you guys live that california rolls have mayo? They just have crabstick, avocado and cucumber here.

I suppose in university I ate some strange things when I was starving and hung over and unskilled at anything but opening a can, but I can't imagine baked beans for breakfast.  I'm pretty sure those in this thread who said that were just pulling our legs.  All in good fun.

It's just simply not an American thing, for the most part. Sounds delicious tho.

I eat red kidney beans for breakfast with eggs.

My breakfasts are kind of boring. Two scrambled jumbo eggs, one white w/ skim (made in olive oil instead of butter, I'm not a butter fan anymore for some reason). I fried up some sweet white onions, minced garlic and tomatoes in a tbsp of olive oil. I put it all one a piece of whole grain toast and top with sriracha hot sauce (which I put on everything...).

All in all, about 450 calories, maybe 500 if you presume the food sops up every last drop of olive oil. It's pretty dang filling. I ate an orange afterward today as a snack ;)

the little ones are great for wrist curls (both regular and reverse) and the lifts you do while lying on your side with arm bent for your rotator cuff. i work these every time because i have problems with both wrists and my left rotator if i swim too much.

i may have to paint my 2.5 plates and my 5lb dummies pink just for kicks. and because i <3 pink.

i seriously need some 25s. play it again sports. perfect. they are about $50 at academy. i can load my dumbbell bars but im lazy and prefer hex dbs.

I don't know what conventions your local PIAS might use but here all used weight is $0.69 / lb including hex dumbbells. I can't guarantee your local store uses the same pricing, since we're all individually owned and operated. About $17.25 / dumbbell for 25 pounders.

It's only Frank's Redhot.

1. Restaurant: Cheeburger Cheeburger. Huge, thick ridiculous burgers, tons of toppings, and excellent shakes/malts

2. Fast food: Taco Bell. I eat there regularly :P

3. Snack/candy/dessert place: Coldstone Creamery for ice cream and Wegman's grocery store for their huge candy section - mmm, gummy spiders

4. Snack/grocery store food: Tostitos and Salsa or a huge back of Smartfood

5. Cereal: Hands down, Cinnamon Toast Crunch

I do calisthenics before breakfast, but usually do some cardio exercise (see also: cycling) afterward or else I bonk in the middle of my rides, which is never fun. I don't bonk terribly, but it kind of feels like all the sudden my legs go from 12 mph powerhouses to jello, and it happens quicker if I don't fuel my body at least a little before the ride (I bring a small snack like a nutrigrain bar for that extra blood sugar kick on the way home)

Don't worry much about the timing of your exercise as much as your caloric budget for the day. Energy In VS Energy Out, make a good squared away deficit of around 600 cal and call it a day. Work out when it works best for you.

And in the weight loss forum because it's so easy to make them a part of a balanced day. hearty breakfast, sticks to your ribs, fiber to keep you full for a while, keep your digestive system moving; and an excellent way to sneak fruit in.

Ha ha, I sure did last night cardioqueen. We shared some chicken satay, thai style dumplings (had water chestnuts in them, oh god it was good)... then I had an eel and cucumber roll.

After that was the main course, real hot and sour fresh mushroom soup, chicken and shrimp, noodles and vegetables hibachi style with a side of steamed rice, all topped with sesame seeds and served with a japanese style dip and a thai style dip. And two beers, we can't forget that, mmm. Then at home they made me cake!!!

My brother is now addicted to crabstick, he's the most picky eater in the world and I somehow got him to try maki (the nori part made him scared) but he ended up thinking maybe it wasn't so bad after all. So he likes him some california rolls now. He made me have two pieces of his shrimp tempura roll too that little bastid'

Anyway I had a good birthday, how about you OP?

It's my birthday weekend too!! :) We're going to this place, www.kenjifusion.com and I don't know if I'll be counting! Sushi appetizer platters, hibachi, thai fusion food... oh god. And cake. Sweet cake.

Actually I think I might count, because then I can track how my body responds to the spike in calories then the reduction the next day. Maybe I'll maintain.

I make my oatmeal with 2/3 cup of water and a dash of skim milk. (1/4 cup of rolled oats). After that's done, I stir in any of the following:

- Splenda and Cinnmamon

- Banana Pieces

- 1 tsp golden honey (60 cal)

I haven't tried putting any other fruits or berries in it, mainly because I hate squishy berries (frozen). I am also not a huge syrup fan. I want to try maybe stirring some semi-sweet (just a few!!) chocolate chips in as a treat occasionally.

1. What is your preferred ice cream store, shop, parlour?

I like a few around here. Chain-wise, Coldstone. Otherwise, Thomas Sweet in Princeton, NJ and Maggie Moo's in Robbinsville, NJ

2. What is your preferred flavour?

Dark Chocolate, Pistachio and Cake Batter (dear god)

3. What do you typically add for toppings?

Not much now, dark chocolate chips in my dark chocolate. But if i go all out, good god, peanuts, brownie pieces, bananas it's endless what my terrible sensibilities are capable of.

4. Do you prefer cones or cups, and why? just curious =)

Cups. I don't like dribbiles. I kind of like the waffle cone cups witht he chocolate jimmies stuck on them.
