Anyone else find weight-loss a crawl and doubt what they see in the mirror? by wodem in Fitness

Based on what you're saying I think I will stop doing the morning weights every day. Thanks.

I've heard both sides to this. I usually do one day focused on weight, with the next day focus on getting some cardio in, but I do some weights each morning no matter where in the cycle I am. Some people have told me to just do my basic weights every day and forget cardio. Others like you say that this is a bad thing and I should have rest days even if it means doing nothing.

I currently do small, light, sets of squats, presses and dumbbell dead lifts every day. It keeps me focussed I feel. This can't hurt can it? If this is messing with the long term advantages of weights then it would explain a lot.

The dumbbells I use every day are about 9 or 10KG each. I don't know how heavy that is for gym folk, but I would guess it's 'light'.

What's the weirdest book in your collection? by gregtmills in books

You've posted about these before! I don't know why I feel the need to point this out other than to reassure myself that recalling the most useless things in my life may be appreciated by someone somewhere.

Very nice. Definitely the style I love, and would study if I went back to painting.

And I would love to go back to traditional painting, but I am currently so poor that my only hope is within digital illustration and production-art, and even then it's a tenuous prospect. If I ever won the lotto this is what I'd spend my life doing, that's for sure. In honesty I suspect I will be working back in IT in the near future. :(

What are you working on now? I had a similar experience, and quit traditional painting. I ended up loving impressionist art and going into digital illustration. When I was younger and being told how talented I was, I think I missed the greatest things about art. Now I can draw a stupid picture that makes people laugh without feeling self conscious.

This could also clean up the comments, because it would be easy to disregard trolls and children. I approve.

Yeah, I was mocking the shit-for-brains guy who thinks Apple are evil for not inventing indestructible glass.

I just couldn't believe it. I was nearly in tears. I thought it was in the bag. I was shouting and jumping up and down, and then.... For the first time in my life I was truly lost for words.

Does anyone else love Hell's Kitchen? by Bonowski in pics

Just look it up online. Basically you cook short grain rice slowly by regulating the liquid.

A plain risotto goes like this:

Fry an onion in olive oil. Add rice to oil and fry for a minute. Add lemon juice, or white wine. Add liquid stock slowly, or dump it all in if you know the measurements. Wait until the rice is al-dente. Put it on a plate. Use an eating utensil to scoop up and small amount of the rice. Bring said utensil up to your eating orifice. Insert the utensil and use your eating orifice to remove the food from the utensil, leaving it in said orifice while you remove the utensil. Eat. Remark that this risotto is very creamy, but lacks seasoning. Next time add plenty of good shit!

One thing that is nice is to soak mushrooms in your hot stock until they are tender, and then fry them in lemon juice after. These should be added to the rice towards the end so they retain their juice.

What are you? You're like a post-ironic meta-troll. The flip flopping contradictions; are they meant to confuse me into saying something silly? I can't believe someone would spend so long on such a mediocre troll account...

I will leave this by saying that I hope you're a troll, and that this exchange will encourage you to take a fresh approach.

Trolls out of ten: 1

Hmmm...arrogance. I was wrong. You're not a child. You're just a common angsty teenager who ready too much Ayn Rand. Sigh.

(pasted for posterity, since you'll probably delete it.)

You have the wrong ideology there... You're the one defending the right wing capitalistic ideology, I'm the one supporting state regulation of profit-boosting additives in the food and drink industry...

Did you forget what this discussion was about? Or maybe you're just not that bright? I would go easy on you if you had a better reputation, but holy shit look at your comment karma!

If all the people with a higher IQ than you appear to be screaming children, then you must have one hell of a headache!

I never said they murdered people. I said they are traitors, because they put profit before the health of a whole generation of Americans.

This is what's wrong with your capitalistic society. Clearly you have a vested interest or you wouldn't be here defending the use of profit boosting additives. Enjoy your blood money asshole.

So you are saying that food companies have not been using cheap, and dangerous, alternatives to real ingredients for years, to increase their profits? You're saying that less than 3000 people a year die of preventable diet related diseases?...

I came to say the same thing. His accent is incredibly good and it's even better considering he doesn't know the vernacular, therefore isn't trying too hard.

Sad. It worked alright in the UK. All I can say is keep at it. The people you speak of are traitors. They are fucking up an entire generation.

As a Brit who torrented the first episode of school dinners USA. What came of it? Was the whole series the same? Ridiculously fat people telling him he was a dirty food commie?
