# | OT: 2025 Health/Wellness Judgment-Free Zone feat. Accountability I eat a lot of salads and veggies, and drink a lot of tea already. I like that crunchy idea and cottage cheese.
do you find that full fat yogurts/cheeses are more satisfying than nonfat/low fat. The interwebs are a little mixed on it.
Yeah, I like that one, I like their chickpea penne too. That's probably lunch today.
TKP.... come for Hokie sports, stay for the Iditarod content
Frosty and his dad both strongly approve this thread!
Sorry for the delayed response. Was at the senior leadership team meetings at work since Monday afternoon. Just getting back.
There's been Iditarod content posted for more than 12 hours and he hasn't said anything, should we send out a search party?
Somebody round up Togo and Balto
Barilla has a red lentil pasta that is passable
Glad you're enjoying it! Patrick Warburton comes in book 6 as a guest voice narrator.
Jeff Hays shared in an interview that he originally used Patrick Warburton's voice as the model for Carl's voice, which should be very apparent when you first hear it.
I like Whey fantastic. It's a grain fed whey powder. I get most of mine unflavored and then add to it.
My goto is frozen berries unflavored, unsweetened greek yogurt, whey powder and some coconut water to lighten it up a bit.
Much less expensive to make them yourself.
My favorite morning smoothie to being to work. Frozen banana, coco powder (nitros oxide precursers), greek yougurt, whey powder, coffee, MCT oil. walnuts. Blend the crap out of it.
If you want premixed powders, this is the best tasting one I have found. The chocolate flavored. Jocko Molk

# | OT: 2025 Health/Wellness Judgment-Free Zone feat. Accountability As others have mentioned, a lot of it is genetic. I'm 42, about 6' and 170lbs. Finally starting seeing a regular doctor last year, grandather died before I was born from heart disease - my dad, who at 80 is more fit than most 50 year olds I know, has had a history with heart issues...so I figured it was time.
I don't remember the exact numbers but when I first went in for labs my cholesterol was high and triglycerides were worrisome high. Committed to more exercise, better diet and went on a 5mg statin. Went back 6 month later, and the numbers were down, but not where we wanted them. Bumped the statin to 10mg, and the latest checkup the numbers were still trending the right direction. I have notice no side effects from the statin.
The last thing on my check-off list, as it sounds like it might be the same with many others commenting here is reducing the ol' alcohol intake. I've got labs on Friday, I don't think I've cut back enough to show a difference on this one, but we will see.
I've also been taking red yeast rice supplements, and I just ordered a citrus bergamot extract supplement. My dad has been taking this and said it had a bigger impact on the cholesterol numbers than his rX did
EDIT: Got my labs back, overall cholesterol came in at 185, triglycerides at 111, HDL at 62, LDL at 103 borderline high)...overall, I'd say the combo of meds, diet and exercise is working right....still gotta work on cutting back on boozw
Gotta agree. I'm running through various brands taste testing.
Also, I have made scrambled eggs to put bolognese onto while the family had regular pasta. That was quite good and very filling.
In the good old days we never needed a DC, because we had the best.
For me, there are 4 things that help very much to stem hunger.
1) Bulk in the stomach. There are actual distention sensors. They will kick in as your stomach fills. That feeling of being full. Various greens such as green leafy salad materials, bell peppers, mushrooms, etc. These are filling and low in calorie. They are very good at solving this.
2) Sometimes if you feel hungry, you are actually thirsty. Any kind of watery thing will handle that along with acidity. For me, carbonation helps as well. So, I will do lemon, or lime squeezed into a pint glass with ice and seltzer water or la Croix unflavored type water. Add some coconut water for body (like15 miils),
3) Caffeine for me will help stem hunger if I'm feellin' it between meals. Black coffee or green tea. A;sp herbal teas will sometimes knock it back also. Try an unsweetened chai as well.
4) Something crunchy. There are crunchy kale snacks. There's a company that makes freeze dried snack with bens and peas type veggies. These are actually pretty good. 22 beans for 100 calories. It handles the mechanical eating thing like when we watch a movie or working on the computer.
Want something more substantial? Here's one of mine. Cottage cheese with pepitas ( pumpkin seeds) for crunch and a shot of hot sauce.
It's amazing. Not a blade of grass out of place, and the hospitality is second to none. It's really taking you back in time in many ways. The Practice area is nicer than most muni courses.
Ahh the exclusivity pricing, got it. Thanks again for the heads up! Very Excited.
Besides re-sale badges, Merch is the only thing there priced in 2025. Also, they have never/don't sell that stuff officially online, so everyone goes to the store to buy a gazillion things for their families etc. You will pay 135 for a good shirt, 160 for a 1/4 zip, 40 for a hat, etc. It's not the food stand where a chicken sandwhich is still 2 dollars.
Any suggestions from people for protein powders that aren't a million dollars and don't suck? I've been trying to stick to something like a protein shake for a mid-afternoon snack rather than raiding my kids' goldfish supply. It's been a few years since we had our first, but I'm still trying to get used to having snacks like that around without just demolishing them myself. Working from home most of the time just means it's all sitting right there and it gets harder to ignore come about three, haha.
Going Monday and Tuesday. I appreciate the wisdom. I'll start saving now for the merch stand!
agree re: C&H (Calvin and Hobbes) but C&H (Cyanide and Happiness) is also a pretty brilliant cartoon series
On the pasta front, if you haven't tried the ones made with chickpeas or edamame, I highly recommend them. The texture is a little off, but with a decent meat sauce you really don't notice it much. Much higher in protein and fiber, lower in starchy carbs. They run a little steeper than normal pasta, but if you can get them on sale they're pretty great. Even just whole grain pasta ups the fiber you get from it, fills you up a bit faster.
I'll hammer that over, lol
Currently on Eric, as I'm following the Rincewind arc, but I read/listened to The Hogfather in December and I think I'll be doing that every year from now on.
1. Take your most comfortable shoes. Course is much hillier than it looks on TV. 2. If you are going 1 day only, go to the merchandise stand first, deal with the crowd to find your sizes, etc. You will drop mucho coin in there. 3. Also buy a masters branded tailgate chair. Find a good spot- 12 tee, 16 tee, 18 green, etc. Place your chair there, and nobody will move it or sit on it- go roam the course and it will be there when you get back. 4. Don't yell anything out after a shot, you will be escorted out. 5. Don't sneak your phone in, you will be escorted out. 6. You will have an amazing time and drink a pretty decent lager for 4.00 if you choose. Also the peach ice cream is tremendous.
Couple of friends scored back to back practice days tickets for the Masters this year and were kind enough to invite me. Very excited. Anyone been and have any tips?
