SoF has not Posted in a While...Gr
Greetings all, as the title says, I have not posted, in part because as many of you know, my life does not change very often, and partly because of what you will read shortly.
Song Of the Post: http://www.last.fm/music/Rise+Against/_/Paper+Wings
These guys are great, and really nice. I met them a while ago. The whole album siren song for the counter culture is great for fights and breaks ups.
Opening Shots: So EP is notorious for eating posts. I do not post as often as I should in BFL group because of it not accepting my posts even though I am signed in. I typically post everything there in here as well. So it got me to thinking, How many calories are in an EP post? Is it by the letter? By the word? I have often wondered if EP needs an EP blog about its addiction to EP posts. Will there be an EP post lite with 33% less words from bloggers and commenters? (Side note: according to the FDA for anything to be considered to be lite, it needs 33% less calories for fat and sugar).
With that
Updates: I have often said that the scale is a compass, it will guide you if you are diligent. My scale is really cool, though I have realized that the body fat percentage has not changed more than ~2 up or down for a year. With everything fitting better, more energy, and nearly fully healthy unprocessed eating, it is a little surprising. So, I will just ahve to find a trainer ro do a real test soon. I also know this because I workout 5-6 days a week, cardio and lifting.
Chicago Triathlon: that is the next goal, I am not a big fan of running, though I love biking a swimming. Since, I do not have access a pool yet, and my bike is in the shop, I have been running, or making the attempt. I have lots of experince with running, an old friend was a marathoner, and my old room mate was a swim coach.
Diet Update: I am on a mostly alkaline diet, which is a version vegan. The body naturally produces acid, specifically lactic acid. I will take from stardust and add recipes and other things.
For Kate who Ate and others:
Vegan Mac and Cheese:
I use rice noodles, boil a full package in water with olive oil and sea salt in the mix.
Once they are the consistancy of your choosing, strain and set aside.
Take a half cup of water and a half cup of vegetable broth, mix in a small bowl. Now for the "cheese". take 3 tablespoons of nutritional yeast, one tablespoon at a time, mixing it into the bowl with broth and water. This is done so it does not get lumpy. take your strained noodles, mixed broths, and mix over heat until you have the desired constistancy for the "Cheese" mix.
It depends on how much you are eating that determines the servings, though I use it through out the week.

This is a great place for all things Gym and Women related.
Funny story of the Post: Is going interactive! So this lady came in the other day, and asked for a pumpkin spice latte not too hot, only about 375 degrees. (of all things working at a starbucks teaches you physics,). I immediately thought if we were making a drink or baking a pie. I told her that we cannot make drinks that hot. She then asked for it to be 250 degrees. Yep, the worst part of this, is that people do this all the time. So the interactive part of this: Have you ever said anything really stupid unintentionally in front of others? I have also been asked what is the difference between non-fat and skim milk as well as what is the difference between hot and cold.
I less than three all the comments from everyone.
I will be around to post great things soon.
I guess that happens. I do hope she is doing ok though.
