Journey, Not A Destination

It's actually . It's run by Phillip Carter, who's a lawyer and I think a captain in the Army. He just finished a tour of duty in Iraq. He also writes regularly for Slate and other magazines. He's an incredibly sharp guy, but so are the others who frequent the forum. Many of them are fairly high ranking officers I think.

Thanks Tom.

Hey Steve, haven't checked in in a while. Wanted to see how you're doing on your wedding body??! I also wish they had way more smilies. I'd be happy with just a laughing smilie that's not rolling on the floor; just laughing in place. How can we get them to add more smilies?? Hope you have a great day!

If Mal gets the owner to allow images, I have a boat-load of smilies I have saved in my photobucket album that I am going to use. That's one way of going about things.

I know what a lacto-ovo veggie is. Haha, I am not sttooooopid. :p

And I am glad to hear this, b/c it makes it a lot easier.

Whey is made from dairy, so you are fine.

One bit of advice is to try and get most of your protein from whole sources such as cottage cheese, eggs, whey, etc. I know a lot of vegetarians who live on soy. Excess phytoestrogen intake can possibly negatively alter thyroid function, and also mess with your body's testosterone manufacturing.

Hey, you know what....I didn't know what the word was for vegetarians who eat dairy and eggs before I started this whole thing...I do not think you are stupid, so just shush.

I plan on learning how to balance my meals so that I am getting at least 20 grams of protein per meal. I almost did it yesterday. And for whey shakes, I will have 32 grams of protein each...

I actually really like being a vegetarian(when I dont forget to take supplements, other wise I am a lethargic mess:drooling: ) because it really forces me to choose the healthy foods when I am eating out... And at home too.

Some people get confused and eat things that are really high in fat and sugar, like deserts and baked goods, because they figure that there is no meat in them...Obviously those people would be the unsuccessful vegetarians because they are not getting the right nourishments.
Over the weekend I wasn't getting enough protein and I started craving meat. Not the taste or anything...I just wanted some, and I knew it was time to have a protein shake or something. I was SO hungry, because there werent too many vegetarian sources of protein available.
So now I know to be careful of that.

AND I am obviously eating more veggies and stuff that I would always foget to include before.


Morning Sunshine!

I think going to a nutritionist might be a good idea. Even though many of them don't stay up to date on current research.... just like any other profession out there that deals with the human body. It will add one more angle of attack though to your approach.

Also, don't tell me to shush! :p

I have thought about it, but I am really dedicating alot of time to researching and figuring out what is going to work for me. If I continue to struggle with it, I probably will. I have been doing this for a week now, so it's only normal that such a huge change would be difficult. But I am getting the hang of it.

As your friend, I have to uphold a certain duty. Making sure you know when to shush is part of that duty. :p

That's what I would do. Research. And then research some more. I am a firm believer that anyone with an intense interest/passion in something that has half-decent reading comprehension skills can become competent in a particular subject.

You are more than adequate in ability to do so. And if you have any questions, always feel free to ask. I may not know the answer as this is NOT a particular area of interest for me.... but I am sure I know someone or I have a resource that can help.

Telling me to shush. :boxing:

You wouldn't be saying that if there weren't a few thousand miles between us.

I would if you implied that I think you're 'stooopid'
 
Quote of the Day

Often he who does too much does too little.


Keep your mind on the things you want and off the things you don't want.


If you focus on results, you will never change. If you focus on change, you will get results


Random Thought of the Day:

People love to talk about carbs. It's quite silly. Those who base their entire argument against carbs solely on the GI index are ignorant.

There is no winning when it comes to me vs. you.

Bottom line, I can always resort to beating you up. So it's impossible for me to ever really lose.

whatever Steve, if I have to worry about you beating me up, I am going to think twice about our 'friendship' :eek2:

You might want to re-think things. I am an extremely violent person. I've been known to brutally attack random people just for giggles.
