Yes, that is the question! I am starting to exercise and do basic work with free weights, to burn fat and get stronger. I am using Getting Stonger by Bill Pearl as a guide. I am probably 20 pounds overweight, according to most BMI charts for an average build person of my height. I am in no hurry to lose it - I want to lose it and keep it off. So we are talking a change in habits. My goal is to feel better (and look better). I will never have six pack abs and I really do not care. I just don't want to lie on the beach and have kids try to roll me back into the sea. I am not a vegan, but I also do not eat a lot of meat. I will occasionally rip into a Garbage Plate or rare slab of cow. Since I am on the go a lot if I do not grab some quick healthy food, I will eat quick crappy food. A good fruit/yogurt shake or two daily is a great way to do this. Example: Today I had an apple, banana, fruit/yogurt , a handful of almonds, strawberries, and some chicken salad. (edit: and a granola bar) Supper will be a large salad, whole grain bread, sauce and a couple meatballs, and cheese. One glass of wine. (I was drinking a couple glasses of wine and a couple beers every day) I rarely have chicken and beef in the same day, so I need to make sure I get enough protein. I have not found a powder that did not taste like I should be sprinking in my shoes, not adding it to my drinking glass! (edit: but I have only tried a couple)

Moderators, can this stay here? It is not a weght loss question, just general health. I have been making "shakes" with yogurt, milk, and various fruits. I tried adding vitamin supplement or whey protein powder and it really spoils the shake for me. They do not overpower the flavor, but you know can taste it and it screws up the "texture" of the drink. Does anyone know of a way to add nutirion to a healthy shake like this, without ruining the taste? I am drinking these a lot, more and more in place of a meal, and I am generally feeling much better overall AND losing weight. As I increase my regular exercise program and add free weights, I want to make sure I am getting enough nutrition. Suggestions?

Don't you mean "if he becomes REALLY REALLY good they will? Out of a graduating high school class of say 500 students how many athletic scholarships of any substance (meaning more than $1000) will be earned by athletes? Especially marginal athletes whose parents have invested well over $1000 in gear and trainers (as was described in the beginning)? Yes, the very exceptional few will earn a scholarship with bragging rights.

I take it this is on the Gulf coast? (you only mentioned Cancun). I have been to Puerto Vallarta four times but that is Pacifico.

I coached for three years then watched his 4th year. To be frank, he sucked at baseball. When he was 12 he said he did not want to play anymore and I said "OK". Why push him to play because I liked it? I was glad he gave it his best and we moved on!

I am offering this mostly because of the separate room. "The Nutcracker" on Empire Blvd Penfield/Webster. Dinners are OK, burgers and sandwiches are actually quite good. They have the main diner, and a back room with glass pane doors you can close, which is what you were probably seeking. If I was planning a party I would look around, but this is diner food at a decent price on short notice. Sorry about your grandmother.

I had to throw a dad off the field for walking out to the mound to talk to his kid during the freaking game! I had another kid who was great until his father showed up and started hollering "tips" from the stands. My son still can't play ball very well, but he could be a pro bowler! If the kid is having fun you are doing everything you can.

Pinot Grigot or vodka work in a water bottle too!

Yeah, they are lining up tp hand out those scholarships.

When I coached Little League, the manager and two of us who were coaches all had kids on the team. Rule was, do not coach your own kid, especially when hw is batting.

Just tell her you DO work with him. If she keeps nagging at you excuse yourself. Go watch from someplace else for a while. When you come back if she starts again, leave her again. It may take a while but she will either: 1) STFU 2) learn to watch the games without you It is not worth the stress.

I am at 54% of my goal. I was saving you for the second half! Total is up to $1,125. Thank you all... Prizes start this weekend - simple but cool Bills stuff.

Put away the books and go on a wine trail ride (get a designated driver of course). If you are lucky you have a nearby liquor store that does wine tasting. You get good info about sugar content, grape types, good years and bad years - and why... We had fun up by Niagara on the Lake last year and Keuka Lake too! Your fiance needs to expand her wine horizon.

Sounds like a creative way to say someone sh-- on your tongue.

I like Aussie, Italian and South American wines. Bulletin makes a very good inexpensive Shiraz.

For me the best news is that WHAM 1180 AM has the Bills broadcasts back. Seems like WCMF 96.5 is imploding, at least concerning the things that I care about!

Ice?

Peter Noone was Herman of Herman's Hermits. Looking down the roster, probably Moorman and Lindell, and maybe Crowell andGreer. Kinda sad going down the roster and not having anyone jump out at you. I want a Talley kinda guy to cheer for! Used to be Schobel, but he kinda sorta laid low key last year. All I see is potential energy. Posluszny is my biggest hope for a "leather helmet" kind of player. I have a lot of hope for some who need to step up. I am really looking forward to this year.

I know someone who is convinced the manned moon landings are fake. Honest. It was just Cold War trickery and propaganda. He also stocked up for Y2K melt down, 07/07/07, and now says the world will end on 12/21/12 (Mayan calendar only goes that far). If he lives long enough he will eventually be correct.

Really. The oceans would run off if it was. Any moron knows that.

Any thread concerning JP and Trent is going to be stupid. It may start our innocent enough, but it WILL unfortunately become stupid. Anyway, Hamburg is closer to Orchard Park than Buffalo, you stupid head. (see what I mean?)

The bold emphasis is how I feel about every player on this team. No "besides" or other additions to the statement.

HFBD Annie! Hugs from the Rock!

I appreciate the help! If you have any questions, I have the donor list, but I doubt you will need it! We are now at $800 !

Status 3/26: $760 or 39% of my 2008 goal. You people are awesome!
