Re: Does h&f do flamefuls?
Did this same person say a blended banana tastes like ice cream? I am a Greek yogurt fan, but anyone who thinks that yogurt or a freakin' banana tastes like ice cream needs to go to the store and buy some full fat, full calorie ice cream. That is crazy talk.

I enjoy greek yogurt (I eat it plain with honey and granola usually), but I also understand people that can't do it. It tastes like yogurt. The only thing that tastes like ice cream is ICE CREAM!
And for me, I have to laugh at people that rave about steel cut oats and how they're sooo much better for you. News flash: steel cut oats and traditional oats have the same nutritional value, mkay? I enjoy the texture and taste of steel cut oats, but I'm not one to turn my nose up at regular oats because they're "worse" for you. Instant oatmeal, lots of sugar and more refined, but traditional oats and steel cut oats are the same from a nutritional standpoint.
Loved this thread, and totally agree about coconut water (so gross) and Lululemon (totally overprices, I mean, you get sweaty as hell in it, then you wash it, what's the point of spending that much money!).
I will say that I think some people are way too wrapped up in the 1200 cal/day limit causing weight loss plateaus. The science does not back the claims of starvation mode for a person of normal or high body fat.

I love diet coke and drink one or two cans a day.
I love splenda
I love the full sugar bad for you flavored creamers
I try to be clean but I fall short with the above and I don't mind!! Lol
I only like one kind of coconut water but feel its a waste if cals. Hate to drink too many calories. I'd rather eat more!!

Agreed!

Agreed. I enjoy Greek yogurt, but for what it is . . . yogurt. It is not ice cream and the plain flavor is absolutely gross. Give me the fruity, aspartame ladened flavors any day!

If the pool is full, everybody is sharing a lane, and the pool etiquette is to split the lane in half, practice the fukcing breaststroke another day. How much sense does it require to realize that not everybody enjoys getting the crap punched and/or kicked out of them when they're trying to swim?
Yup, yes, yeah, and hell yes!
Have you tried the Peppermint Patty flavored creamer yet? I just started seeing commercials here recently and am intrigued.
Ohh that sounds great! I love peppermint mocha one so I'll definitely have to try it!!!

I can only eat the sugary vanilla Greek yogurt. And I have no desire to try coconut water (especially not now!).
I've really relaxed on my workouts since completing my half on March 25. I don't feel guilty, I have enjoyed the respite!
Not H&F: One of my coworkers got fired on Friday. He was the most annoying person I worked with, I'm glad I don't have to see him every day anymore.

I love the Hunger Games and Harry Potter, so there
Never got into Twilight.
Never tried Coconut water, but if it tastes like *** then I sure as hell am not going to now!
I agree that 5ks are super hard if you go all out the entire way. The thought of that pain scares me, so I hardly ever run them anymore. Some of the worst pain I've ever had running was when I PRd my 5k, it was awful.
I also love my liquid crack, aka full fat creamer. Love me some French Vanilla, I'll never, ever give it up.
I'm longing for one of those new Dorito Tacos at Taco Bell. Normally I despise Taco Bell, but I loves me some Doritos, so I'm going to get one.

My Nest Bio and Cycling Advice
I have one more:
Yesterday was a lovely spring day and MH and I went to our local historic park--everyone is out enjoying the day and having Easter brunch there...people are doing various things--walking, playing basketball or baseball etc.
This dumbass couple in their hoopty comes speeding through the park blaring music through EXTERNAL speakers...This is undoubtedly breaking a noise ordinance. These jerks drive around the park two times blaring their music.
All the sudden...two cops pull out and pull them over.
They got arrested. We walked by and I gawked at them...openly.
Happy Easter jerks.
I know this makes me a total a hole, but I mean really...you stand out THAT much...I'm going to go out on assumption limb here and say most people weren't all "hey that's cool!" They were the sore thumb.
This only works when using fruit that is especially juicy. I love this when mangos or honeydew are in season, but throwing a few blueberries in there most definitely does not do the trick.
Here are mine:
I refuse to give my time on my races on here b/c I know half of you will laugh at me so I keep the times to myself.
I stopped reading some h&f related blogs b/c it was all about Crossfit and I could not relate to them.
I hate the Sports Jelly Beans b/c they are so small I choke on them....
edit-I can not do overnight oats...I like my steel cut oats fresh and warm.
I RSVPed for an OWS on Thursday that I might not go to because it's going to be cold - both the water and air temp. This is not flammable. What IS flammable is that the reason I won't go when it's cold is because I might wimp out mid-swim (since I don't have a wetsuit) and I can't STAND the thought of other people swimming farther than me, even though it's just a friendly group of swimmers. I'm so mentally competitive I disgust myself sometimes.
I also have considered doing some OWS races JUST because I know I'd come in first or near-first. Which probably means they're not very competitive, but whatever.
I need one that says, "I went to work today." Sometimes, there are days when that is quite the accomplishment of itself.
