  1. Wow.  So much hating on crossfit.  LOL    I am not a crossfit member but do drop in to classes from time to time.  If there is a good gym near you, you could always drop in to a class and check it out.     There is something to be said for the group atmosphere.   There is no need to kill yourself in the workouts.   I always use less weight than I could do, run a little slower, row a little slower, pull a little less high and frankly no one cares.  Like any workout schema, you have to do just enough work to get an effect, but not so much you can't come back to the table the next day.    Our gym has people of all ages and sizes and is very supportive and encouraging.

  2. Do you really believe this?   (asking with curious tone)

     

     

    Here is the ingredient list for Motts.  I didn't think it sounded totally awful.  Obviously it is not a piece of fruit, but it is still a step up from gummy worms.

     

    INGREDIENTS

    CORN SYRUP, SUGAR, MODIFIED CORN STARCH, PEAR JUICE CONCENTRATE, APPLE JUICE CONCENTRATE, STRAWBERRY PUREE, CARROT JUICE CONCENTRATE. CONTAINS 2% OR LESS OF: FRUIT PECTIN, CITRIC ACID, VITAMIN C (ASCORBIC ACID), DEXTROSE, SODIUM CITRATE, MALIC ACID, POTASSIUM CITRATE, SUNFLOWER OIL*, VEGETABLE AND FRUIT JUICE ADDED FOR COLOR, NATURAL FLAVOR, CARNAUBA WAX. *ADDS A TRIVIAL AMOUNT OF FAT

     

  3. so how is that not about 'modesty' then?  

     

    Why can't someone wear clothing that's 'poured on', like leggings or a gymnastics unitard or a spandex onesie? 

     

    Because I'd say to get rid of the vagueness of "that's too tight/that's too baggy", you have to go to extreme ends. Either spandex unitards for everyone, or giant billowing robes for everyone. 

     

     

     

     

    :iagree:

    What's wrong with pants that are skin tight?  Those are the ones that look nice.     Does that include leggings too?

  4. You should not have added fruit to the brew until you are ready to do a second ferment.   Emcap has the right sequence of how it should be done.    I would not use the scoby you have to do a continuous brew because adding the fruit runs the risk of yeast overgrowth.   Google around how to  "do" kombucha.  There are tutorials all over youtube.

     

    FTR, I prefer vinegary kombucha.   I add a swig of it to all my drinking water. 

  5. Oh wow, you have an arsenal of awesome recipes.  I'm just so boring, I eat everything so plain :(

     

    Me too.  It's interesting to see the go to meals when time is short and ya gotta grab something.  I eat a lot of sweet potatoes and sardines.  LOL

     

    I usually do apples and berries every day but my coco milk and cream I have now has guar gum so I'm waiting until my order comes in. I did have 2 small apples for an afternoon snack and a boatload of watermelon in the form of the gummies!

     

    I love the coconut milk ice cream where you add coconut milk to fresh berries and whip it up.    But guar gum, that explains it!  LOL    Argh!

  6. These kind of threads, just like the food budget threads always devolve into moralizing the amount spent and earned.     

     

    Sometimes it's hard to judge exactly what are convenience of lifestyle choices.   Living in a highly urbanized metropolis is going to present different challenges and needs than living in a rather isolated rural community.
