Cut into chops, stuff with herbed goat cheese and cook on the stovetop. Smother in caramelized onions and mushrooms for extra deliciousness.

I haven't seen anyone mention high intensity exercise like sprints, HIIT, etc. That can really rev up your metabolism and trigger fat burning. Ditto the person who said weight training. Cooked and cooled potatoes develop resistant starch, which can be beneficial to digestion and insulin sensitivity....

Medjool dates are good running fuel on W30. They are delicious straight out of the freezer. I'm eating a banana a day and copious root vegetables, so carbs haven't been an issue for me, but then I haven't done a workout yet, either. You might also try some coconut oil - the fat gets converted to ene...

Grass fed t-bones with just salt, pepper and garlic. Spinach sauted with mushrooms and onion. Red potato salad with homemade habanero mayo, cumin and lime.

Day 4 of Whole30./ We'll see if I can keep this standard up for 26 more days.

Thanks for asking! The HM went pretty well considering my lack of training. 2:14 this time vs just over two hours when I've run this course when properly prepared. W30 isn't a big deal so far, I just need to remember what I'm doing so I don't slip up. But then I eat kind of paleo most of the time an...

Day 3 of Whole30 today. So far, so good. I'm still sore from the half marathon, so did some yoga last night and will do it again tonight. Walking at lunch too.

StraightForward

I brined a couple pork loin chops with black pepper and Rosemary, gave them a nice pan sear and then smothered them in onions and mushrooms cooked in an obscene amount of ghee and tossed them in the oven. Had our usual giant-ass salads alongside them. And I'm doing Whole30, so a mug of mint tea inst...

I just got one of the Schneider's ones, but it hasn't been cold enough to use it yet. However, what I like about it is that the shoulder gussets go up higher than on a regular neck blanket. Hoping this will reduce shoulder rubs. Time will tell if this is true, or if I have issues like some of the ot...

My half marathon is done! Tonight is my birthday dinner, and then Whole30 starts tomorrow. I've been eating some junk in some sort of stupid anticipation of having all that stuff be off limits. At least my husband is doing a less strict version with me so he won't be bringing home chips, candy and b...

Oh geeze, sorry about the parent troubles. They're lucky to have you close by to help them out. Yes, I will probably take you up on riding Kyra this winter, once I get the garden put away and get through my latest round of house decrapification.

Last night, roasted chicken and root veggies again. Tonight: chili-cheese baked potaters.

They are all getting rather yak-like aren't they? The white socks are total dirt magnets. Still kind of stuck on a name, but I'm done with my work travel for a few months now, so hopefully I'll be able to spend a little more quality time with her and see if something sticks. Hope you're getting over...

Yep, you guys are all runners!! Ultra marathons! Holey moley! I do... 5km...... well I've done two 10km now! Sooo, I'm only running for fitness, not to do any races. I've started and stopped many times, usually at around 6 months I get fed up of being a bit sore, having a terrible stitch etc. Howev...

StraightForward

Sort of. I've only been getting out about once a week lately, but I'm hoping to pick it up a little more this winter. I have a half marathon on Saturday that is going to be a trainwreck due to my lack of training, but at least I get to have a celebration dinner afterwards and pig out.

Would love to see photos of Bianca, Bascar! I'm super pleased with my filly. The breeder did a very nice job of teaching her manners, and I think she is also just naturally sensible and laid-back. I had no problem trimming her feet without any assistance last night even though it was getting cold an...

Are leeks as easy? Because it simply irritates the heck out of me to see them at 2.99 PER STEM!!!!!! They grow slowly but they are pretty easy. Maybe not as easy as garlic. IIRC, you're in a northern clime? So you'd want to get seedlings or start seedlings in early spring then plant them out in a t...

Chile verde in the slow cooker. I didn't do the big Hatch chile haul this year, so I'm getting frighteningly low on supplies, but luckily I have to go to NM for work in February so I'll figure out how to bring home a stash of frozen goodness. Ate it over chopped Romaine with some refried black beans...

Considering how much I was on the road this spring when I would normally be prepping the garden, we got a pretty good haul. Late season heat gave us some amazing brandywine tomatoes, and all the other tomatoes went bonkers as well. We've got enough sauce, paste and whole tomatoes canned that I won't...

I can't seem to find it right now, but there is a YouTube video on correcting posture for baseball players.

Could we have a sort of Kitchen, Garden and Home type forum? I enjoyed the gardening and cooking forums, but don't think either got enough traffic to warrant it's own spot.

Ran 4.4 miles last night, had a huge salad for dinner (OK, two beers too). Yogurt with chia and berries for breakfast. Making use of my standing desk. Have to travel for work tomorrow, so I'll make a point of hitting the hotel gym and packing some healthy food instead of buying fast food lunches.

I've planted store garlic before it it works OK. However you can get other varieties if you buy from a specialty place, plus the seed garlic is raised under specific conditions to be robust and disease-free. Once you get it though, just save part of your harvest and re-plant, so theoretically you on...

Thanks Flight, I will look him up!

Susan, let me know when you're no longer contagious.

I have the Mark Rashid Understanding Footfall DVD in my Amazon cart, but re-reading some of the stuff I already have.

Thanks. I picked up some soft neck organic garlic at the store today. Will stick it in the ground and see what happens. The problem with my hardneck garlic is that some of the cloves just seem to die. They get mushy and turn brown. Often the inner cloves are still good and this happens with the oute...

I can so relate. We had 3 sets of renters in our old house and the first two were total shitheads. The first ones broke the glass top stove and caused a bunch of water damage with their washing machine in the six months before breaking the lease. The second set requires a lawyer and police to evict ...

StraightForward

How do you guys store your garlic after harvesting? My hardneck garlic seems to go bad quickly so I barely have any to use after reserving enough to replant for next year. I pull it up, let it cure in a mostly shady spot outside for a few days, and then bring it in the house. Humidity isn't an issue...

Thanks Susan, I just might take you up on that. Yes I found an awesome home for Maya. An appy lover who's had her old guy for 24 years.

I'm kind of excited to have a bit of free time right now, but I bet I'll be bored and wanting to ride soon enough. I'll check into the KR stuff.

Have used them in hotels and hate not being able to control the strength. They also taste like they brew at too low a temp and then all that trash. Recently got a stainless Japanese pour over to make single servings heating water with an electric kettle. Filter plus coffee goes in the compost, and I...

I've sold my riding horse and there's a long winter ahead before backing my filly. I'm looking for some good study materials? I have Right from the Start and Horse Training In-Hand. Looking at some of the Klimke stuff. Any other good ones?

Now that I don't have a horse to ride, my goal is to get back in the groove of working out. I ought to be able to get ripped by the time my filly is ready for backing in the spring. ;) I have a half marathon on 11/7, then I'll decide how much running I want to do after that. Whether inside or outsid...

FYI - I've been interested in trying one of these but now it's sounding like they may no longer be legal according to the USEF proposed rule. "Bridles are not permitted in which the noseband is connected to the bit or cheekpiece below the level of the browband." Maybe they think that the n...

It's only 30 days. I actually find the strict rules kind of refreshing because I don't eyeball the donuts or candy or whatever at work because I know they're strictly off-limits. No worrying about "moderation" turning into eating 6 fun-sized candy bars. ;) With little bits of this and that...

My mare is really stiff, and I've been making a lot of progress with her lately using a variety of things. Out of the saddle, can your horse bend both directions? Can he produce flexion at the poll?

I think that style of "western riding" looks as harsh on horses hindlegs and ligaments as rollkur in on horses necks. Neither allow the horse to move in a manner even approaching normal and both place unfair strain on the horse. Agreed. I used to ride western pleasure before I knew better...

Thanks I am reading all the replies and making a short list while I'm traveling this week. Maybe one will stick when I get to spend a little more quality time with her.

Kettlebells and running for me. When I have time I go to the gym and branch out into weight lifting and using the stationary rower. Running is great because it's simple and can be done pretty much anywhere. I travel a fair bit for work and have enjoyed seeing new places by heading out for a run (wit...
