Hard boiled eggs are amazing

I never make them though.

7/27/2010 9:04:03 AM

the smell alone is repulsive enough. when my fiance makes egg salad sandwiches I want to vomit.

7/27/2010 9:06:23 AM

an egg salad sandwich sounds amazing.. too bad I'm having fish tacos with avocado for lunch

7/27/2010 9:07:35 AM

Eggs are amazing.

I eat about a dozen a week.

7/27/2010 9:08:00 AM

I had poached eggs for the first time last year and those were really good as well.. I think the only way I wouldn't eat an egg is if it was pickled

7/27/2010 9:10:40 AM

scrambled or omelets. yolk running all over the plate is disgusting as well.

7/27/2010 9:13:23 AM

well this is where we diverge wadhead


runny yolk doesnt bother me

7/27/2010 9:14:52 AM

I love dipping my toast in runny yolk.

7/27/2010 9:15:15 AM

me too!

toast + grits + runny eggs =

7/27/2010 10:14:11 AM

my first experience with grits involved them dropping down into my cleavage...

needless to say - haven't tried them since

Let me tell you, throwing up and diarrhea all night leaves you looking RIPPED in the morning. Hurray for dehydration

7/27/2010 10:28:02 AM

Ugh. I, too, hate hard boiled eggs. And the smell definitely makes me want to

Yeah, I'd never get any sleep if that was the case Though my body doesn't mind going from 120 heat index outside to 70s inside. It feels fantastic The power bill, however, makes my eyes bug out.

1300 Yards today... 200 yard improvement over the same time.

7/27/2010 12:04:17 PM

Good work.

7/27/2010 12:22:44 PM

7/27/2010 4:37:56 PM

7/27/2010 4:47:07 PM

I'm in North Carolina now and I will be going to Lifestyle Fitness in Cary, starting on Wednesday afternoon... if anyone needs someone to workout with (spotting purposes, etc.), I'd love to join in.

PM me if you're game.

So I pushed a bit too hard yesterday. I had some cramps in my legs while swimming yesterday and sucked it up and just kept swimming with it. Now my legs are beyond sore and it's a task just trying to walk today No swimming for me today

Common Sense Lesson here is if you're body hurts, listen to it.

Who said that? Why would they say that? I don't think anyone who knows me personally would agree with such a statement.

This thread was iheartkisses's idea, by the way.

Can we keep the bullshit out of the lounge? I actually like this thread and it has successfully encouraged me to get my lazy ass up and work out for a change.

hahahaha

god is a little off sometimes but i don't think he has a buy low sell high fetish.

7/28/2010 10:30:32 AM

been trying to keep up with 2 a days. haven't been consistent with it but at least i have been getting my ass up in the morning to go. i haven't weighed myself or taken measurements but i'm feeling really good and i feel like i look slimmer and that's important to me. yay!!

7/28/2010 10:32:29 AM

Ever since I went running Monday night the side of my foot has been hurting, just under/in front of my ankle. Anyone ever have that happen? I'm not sure whether I just need to rest/ice it for a few days or what.

7/28/2010 10:35:06 AM

Do you run often? Sometimes you just have to live with a certain level of discomfort, especially when first starting out. I generally don't take breaks unless the pain actually limits my mobility in some way. You'll probably find the next time you run that the pain will fade as soon as you warm up.

7/28/2010 10:59:10 AM

I have been running more lately, but I'm not new to it. It's not just sore feeling. I have had lots of ankle issues in the past (and this is the ankle on which I tore a ligament ~4 years ago). I am no stranger to sore ankle muscles, but since I've been working out I haven't had any problems with them rolling or getting sprained or anything.

It hurts when I stand up barefoot, like there's pressure coming from that part of my foot. I don't want to be a hypochondriac, but I also don't want to ignore it if I have tendinitis or something.

I got fitted for running shoes at Lady Foot Locker by someone who seemed to actually know what they were talking about but I am definitely going to go to a running only store soon to get refitted. These are getting up in the miles anyway.

7/28/2010 11:04:39 AM

I mean, I'm no expert, but if it's not swollen or anything, I would just try running on it again and seeing what happens. It doesn't sound like anything serious.

7/28/2010 11:12:04 AM

I'm goinig to the beach for 4 1/2 days today, and I've been busy this week preparing for the trip so I haven't worked out at all...looks like I won't get back into the gym until next Monday But perhaps a few bike rides on the beach will take place

7/28/2010 11:14:39 AM

time for exercise can always be made at the beach. i rode one day and ran the others when i was at topsail for a week. you know you won't be eating well, so you might as well take an hour and get some form of a workout.

7/28/2010 11:18:59 AM

i am going to the beach the 8th through the 15th and honestly am so excited about being able to get up in the morning and go for a run and then do a bike ride in the evening (since i'm taking it with me)

that'll be an awesome vacation for me

7/28/2010 11:27:44 AM

^^true, but I don't mind the occasional vacation from exercising either

FYI for anyone that likes to eat a lot of eggs (as has been mentioned). One of the Harris Teeter specials this week (through next Tuesday) is 67 cents for a dozen eggs. Ya can't be that for cheap protein!

7/28/2010 11:30:20 AM

^ I think you have to sign up for the eVIC program to get that (which is more than the normal VIC program. You go online and enroll your VIC card in it). But maybe they just say that to get people to sign up and really give it to everyone. Also it says limit 1 and I am not sure if that is per transaction/day or period.

7/28/2010 11:33:23 AM

not to mention, frozen EZ Peel shrimp is buy one get two free

that's 864 grams of protein!

7/28/2010 11:34:41 AM

^^yeah its eVic, but that's easy to do. Not like it costs anything anyway.

^oh yes, I will be buying a bag of that next week

7/28/2010 11:39:00 AM

lemme give you $5 or so and I'll take one of the three bags

But on the actual topic (zomg double poast), how often have you been swimming, shmorris2? I'm also trying to build up my swimming endurance and skill, and I feel like going even twice a week is hard to do on top of my regular workout schedule. But I've got a 1500m open-water ocean swim coming up on the first leg of the LA triathlon, and it's both my first Olympic-distance tri and my first open-water swim, so I'm a bit nervous about it.

7/28/2010 12:55:40 PM

I just ate a burrito for lunch that I made. Wheat wrap, 1 organic brown egg, 1 slice of sharp cheddar, two slices of turkey bacon, half an avocado, and two scoops of my homemade pico de gallo. Talk about satisfying the senses!!

7/28/2010 1:02:50 PM

Went to the gym and did back and bi (been off of my 4 day plan due to recent developments) and at one point had gotten some weird problem catching my breath, and feeling like I had mucous in my throat. Was coughing a lot and kinda out of it, so I decided to cut the workout early. I did about 80% of what I wanted to accomplish, but its getting annoying having to cut short my workouts due to my body being all "eh, nah, i'm done"

When I swam in high school, all the people/teams better than us swam twice a day: Morning and evening, about 3 to 5 miles total each workout.

7/28/2010 1:28:33 PM

And no way am I trying to do all that. I'm not just a swimmer, and I'm not touching any sort of swimming-only races or events. My wife was a competitive swimmer growing up, so she can tell me all sorts of what I consider horror stories.

I don't like swimming and am a bit claustrophobic about being in water, so I just do what I need to get by in triathlons. I've come to terms with the idea that I'll never really enjoy it, though.

7/28/2010 2:05:57 PM

Tris are usually won or lost on the swim... You've gotta put in some time on it.

And you really only need to put between 30-45 minutes in the pool for your workouts. Shouldn't be taking you more than 45 to do a 1500...

7/28/2010 2:21:42 PM

I ain't tryin' to win the LA Triathlon, that's for damn sure.

I know, it doesn't take that long, but it feels like an eternity because I don't like it. Don't you people care that the water is trying to drown me?!

7/28/2010 4:21:36 PM

the water isn't trying to drown you!!!

i don't enjoy running (okay well i'm starting to enjoy it more) but it's just something you gotta do if you're doing a tri.

the more you do it, the better you'll get and then the more you'll enjoy it
