[quote=6packscaredy]here is a fascinating bit of commercial history; the special k pinch an inch commercial from 1979:

i remember this being a big joke in junior high–can you pinch more than an inch? and grabbing each others sides.

it’s hilarious! normal has moved wayyyy over.[/quote]

Haha. I love it. Now, 95% percent of the population?

[FlyerInHi]

That pretty much low calorie, high nutrition, high antioxidant diet.

Did you watch British show about eat, fast and live longer? Some individualized form of that is probably ideal.

I got vitamix and make lentil spinach soup. Pre boil the lentil and freeze it. Defrost and throw in vitamix with herb spices for soup. Good protein source and very filling. Combine with huge salad with fish or chicken. Organic of course.

LOL, I used to dress almost every day like the lady in the commercial. Back then, skirts were lined with a back or side zipper and women’s jeans/pants did NOT stretch. In addition, we wore pantyhose and belts with almost everything.

I still have some clothes like this which I put on occasionally. My kids think I look like a dweeb in pleated Dockers or lined pants with a belt, shoulder pads and a pin on my lapel. “Yikes, mom, take that off! It’s so ’70’s/’80’s/’90’s.” They want me to have a “makeover” and get stretch pull-on pants/jeans, pullover dresses and flowy tops with big armholes and wear a tube top underneath (like they do), all the while they themselves can’t fit into my “vintage” clothing. I told them, “I’m a `tailored’ kind of gal.”

Go figure :=0

FIH, I’m going to have to look into this. It all sounds good! My mom used to make split pea soup, lentils or black-eyed peas, all with carrots, ham hock and cornbread sticks and I loved it and make it myself on occasion. However, your recipe sounds more nutritious.

I LOVE soup and HATE protein powder. Thanks for the suggestion!

zk, I saw your pics and they don’t take into account that weight is distributed differently on different women. For some it goes to the hips and thighs (pear shaped) and for others it goes to the waist, midriff, chest and arms (apple shaped). And the way the weight sits on the thighs makes a huge difference in aesthetics, IMHO. Of course, some of that is hereditary.

Correct me if I’m wrong, zk, but I thought ~25% body fat was considered “overweight” and ~30% was considered “obese” for the avg adult female. Even losing 5% of body fat can lower one’s blood pressure significantly.[/quote]

True, they don’t take weight distribution into account. It definitely makes a huge difference in aesthetics. I believe the distribution of body fat is almost entirely hereditary.

I don’t know what’s “considered” overweight or obese. I’m talking strictly from an attractiveness point of view. As you pointed out, distribution makes a big difference, but, in general, I find women who are slightly-moderately overweight far more attractive than women who are very thin.

[CA renter]

Could not agree more about weight distribution being hereditary. I’d even argue that how a body burns or stores calories is genetic/hereditary as well.

[CA renter]

[quote=6packscaredy]i suppose. but all that work is necessary and yet not sufficient if there’s even some fat over them.

there really is no point at all to a 6 pack.

All Is Vanity
1 The words of the Preacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem.
2 Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity.
3 What profit hath a man of all his labor which he taketh under the sun?
4 One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh: but the earth abideth for ever.
5 The sun also ariseth, and the sun goeth down, and hasteth to his place where he arose.
6 The wind goeth toward the south, and turneth about unto the north; it whirleth about continually, and the wind returneth again according to his circuits.
7 All the rivers run into the sea; yet the sea is not full: unto the place from whence the rivers come, thither they return again.
8 All things are full of labor; man cannot utter it: the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing.
9 The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.
10 Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us.
11 There is no remembrance of former things; neither shall there be any remembrance of things that are to come with those that shall come after.[/quote]

Always loved this passage.

Soooooo glad you’re back, scaredy! 🙂

Here’s a recommendation for you, FIH, for all the new tile you just laid.

http://miraclesealants.com/s_511_impregnator_nm.html

then:

http://miraclesealants.com/g_high_gloss_finish.html

or whatever kind of finish you like. They’re ALL awesome products (ESP the 511 Impregnator) … avail at Home Depot.

Break out the knee pads. And have clean sponges handy (preferably brand new).

And congrats for finishing that big job! I’ve been an “apprentice” on several tile jobs in my life but I am afraid to run a wet saw by myself :=0

[FlyerInHi]

BG, I hired people for some previous jobs. I have to be around anyway. Then I started to help out. Finally, I decided to do it myself. They charge at least $3 per foot to do a job. So I’m saving money.

Most contractors are not artisans and don’t have engineering minds so their work is not precise as I would do it.

It took me two weeks to do the bath with the underlayment and everything. I’m still saving money even with the vacancy I incur because of my slow lazy ass.

I now own pneumatic tools and everything. I feel like with research on codes I could be my own contractor and build my own house.

Very good exercise. A good feeling of accomplishment and an ego boost. I feel better off than my peers who can’t even bend down to pick up stuff without pain.

Did you say you’re a skier? I got a meetup with old friends at brian head, Utah this winter. I’m gonna enjoy leaving all those middle age folks in the dust!

[scaredyclassic]

If fitness is an investment skiing seems risky. Injuries are not good. I’m probably too conservative an investor.

[scaredyclassic]

I will bend down even for a penny in one quick sweep. Hope I can always do that.

[scaredyclassic]

Work as exercise satisfies on many levels.

I’m hoping to get to arborist school in jan.

Seriously? That would be so cool. Let us know if you ever want any customers. We love trees and are looking for an arborist who can guide us on the care and planting of trees.
