Well, Coca Cola is already on par with Truvia to make a drink using that instead of Splenda... so we'll see.

Sweet ! (no pun intended) hopefully that comes though.

I'm going to pick some up. There a handful of recipes on the site I will try.

Have you guys tried that Crystal Light powder for water? It's a good alternative to soda that has no calories or sugar..

I have always had a hard time drinking regular water unless it's ice cold, but the Crystal Light really makes it taste good, especially for not having any sugar...Just put one lil powder container in a gal of water, put it in the freezer for a few hours to get cold and it taste really good.

Don't be fooled, there's some sort of "cose" in there somewhere if it gives it flavor...

nope, no cose in it. Natural flavor from the leaf my friend!

I like to use Stevia-might be close to the Truvia. Really sweat and comes from a leaf. Guess it's been used by the locals for centuries.

Hmmm...

I mean the Crystal Light, not the Truvia though...

 

[jimjimmyjones85]

I thought Crystal light used splenda ?

Aspartame is carcinogenic and the body is fooled into thinking it's sugar, so in the end it does the same thing as natural reoccurring and refined sugars... stores it as fat. You're better off drinking cola with sugar vs. aspartame which is Splenda, Nutrasweet, and all that other crap.

Exactly where I was going...

Well said!

I wish I was able to post anything new on my front... but sadly... with things as bad as they are here... I haven't had any time for hitting the gym. I hope that next week I can squeeze at least a few days a week in there, but until my Wife can drive again... I am officially on hold.

It sucks, but it's what I have to do.. I really do miss going..

I have one at work and use is daily. The one I have is the seen on tv one and it works just fine and supports people heavier then me.

 

[lightwave000]

They work. Get one from walmart for 15-20 bucks. Im 220 and I have a feeling it would hold much more than that. Its safe and sturdy. Just locks in place and your good to go!

Morning Fellas!

"Boot Camp" HIIT tonight.

I can't do a pull up to save my life. But my wife did get me that workout dvd's for my Bday Saturday.... so hopefully it will push me into fitness... I need the motivation. So Today is my Offical start date.. had real Oatmeal this morning and will hit it hard for an hour after work. I have snacks (fruit/almonds) for in between my meals.

Ahhh ok. I think the bad thing is that being a diabetic, those substitures don;t affect blood sugar where true sugar REALLY does./

I'm finally starting to get my fat ass up the gym on a regular bases as well as playing sqaush again.
I used to be so fit 10 years ago, but now I can't even do a full 10 mins in the summit machine on level 3.
It's going to be hard but I have Rocky on my ipod, and I'm not backing down this time.

 

[Shadow King]

Keep pushing. The more you do it the better it will be.

 

[jimjimmyjones85]

That is what I hope to do. I need to. I am tired of not doing it and now is the time.

Coming back off a week of eating everything I ever wanted and drinking everything I have ever wanted. B-day vacation is over... IT STARTS NOW!!!
