    Off Topic It's getting to be that time of year. What do you like to make for "comfort food"

    Although Im not big on the cold. Luckily in Arkansas it doesn't get below freezing for long. But, Im one of those that stays cold the whole winter and I don't thaw out until late spring, early summer. (and then I bake when its in the triple digits for the better part of 2 months..lol) We have...

    Food for thought...

    I couldn't resist the title ;) In a normal day, how well do you eat? By this I mean how many treats do you have a day? Since I was little I've always tried to get every food group in each of my meals, and generally allowed myself one treat a day. A treat could be a bowl of ice cream for snack...

    So - meet coming up this weekend, report time of 5:30. About an hour travel time to get there. Can someone help me backtrack food for this? Her last afternoon/evening meet started late, then there were issues with the scores, so the awards were delayed. She was exhausted and starving by...

    Score vs Place: Food for Thought

    I have noticed a trend in our area to post place standings vs scores. Posting I am referring to club websites,facebook pages, and local newspapers. I am confused by this because why not post both the place and the score. Many times a gymnast will score lower but receive a higher place standing...

After being offered a $70.00 bag of pet food by the vet I decided to look into feeding alternatives. I saw a...

    A good diet for training.

    I've been told I need to "Eat to train, and train to eat." How do I do that? I know that I need a lot of protein and complex carbs, but does anyone have an example of a good diet? I need to loose a few pounds. I'm five foot and around 119. =D Thanks so much.
