Why wait? There's nothing wrong with having a few on a Saturday night.

My advice to people is to allow yourself to cheat once in a while, and don't beat yourself up about it. In my experience, people who stick too closely to their 'diet' are usually the ones who break it - and then go overboard after they do.

What if your diet involves having an 8-pack rather than getting one...?

You do you, buddy!

Why not use fat free/zero calorie dressing? That's all I have in my fridge.

It's a magic weight-loss formula that not a lot of people know about:

If you don't want to stuff you cake-hole with cake and chips and ranch dressing and frozen pizza pops and cheescake and gravy, don't buy those things and stock them at home.

Crazy, I know...

As soon as it's near an 8 pack, i'm back on the pints.

hey I'll be happy if I can see my richard when I look down without extending my neck out.

Anyone got a full-ice practice plan they want to share?

Just post it here online with descriptions, so I don't have to do one up for tonight.

FML.

Whoa baby, if I was 20 years younger:

For the most part I eat pretty well (almost all home cooked, fresh ingredients) which allows me to sneak in a beer or glass of wine when I want. Today will work out to be about 1400cals in food, so that I can enjoy a couple of nice craft beer with the game

Hell no. 14 to 16 beers later and some junk food well ....

The issue with the Nylander contract isn't that guys who get points shouldn't get paid, they should. The problem is that it was pretty obvious Nylander wasn't going to be a star unless he had Matthews to make him one. I mean, look at Kapanen. He's a good all around player, but he wouldn't be on pace for close to 30 goals without Matthews. Many people saw this about Nylander. He's a pretty good player but he doesn't stir the drink on any line he's on, he's a complementary player. And when you have a guy like Matthews that can make a whole lot of guys look like stars, why pay any of them like thats what they really are?

It's no different than people who think a goalie is a star because he has a great save%, when he's playing behind a top flight defence. Then some GM bites when he's UFA and pays him a pile, and then he isn't good and the GM wonders why. Big money needs to be allocated to guys who make things happen for others, not guys who need others to make them look good.

The Leafs situation with an already allocated cap percentage for sure going to to the top three forwards they have, they can't pay these types big bucks. They just can't. They have so many guys Matthews could play with that could produce well enough they could have let Nylander sit out the entire year. Now they are jumping through hoops, taking Matthews off the first PP unit (he already gets less ice time than other stars), all so they can get their return on a mediocre investment.

Yep, 12 minimum on a Saturday night for me.

Impossible to only have a few, never works out that way lol.

A said *a few*, plus there's nothing wrong with a bit of junk food, too. Just don't do it the rest of the week.

You are also including exercise in your weight loss regimen, right? Diet alone rarely works.

yup
step 1 - don't buy beer.
step 2 - see step 1

We do get a bunch of frozen pizzas cause they are quick to cook when you just don't want to cook and the teen age kids to make them self when they are hungry.

It's easy to only have a few - if you're at home, don't buy so many.

that is a few ....




.. maybe a few too many.

Yup. I usually just buy as I want. No need to have a fridge stocked with dozens at a time unless I'm having some folks over. I'll maybe have a few extras of *really* good ones lying around from time to time, but that's it.

What's does that word mean?

I take the stairs 3 story or less and try play ball hockey twice a week.

Yeah. If I decide I want to have a couple of beers I always have to go the lcbo to pick them up, and then I buy what I'll realistically drink. I rarely have any in the fridge (unless I don't drink all that I bought last time), that way there's no temptation. I never buy liquor for that reason.

I would pickup a 24 on Saturday and maybe 6 pack of tall boys on Thursday

You'd be shocked what a gym would do. Gaining muscle mass is key to losing weight because that raises your metabolism.

Nothing wrong with the tall boys on a Saturday instead of the 24.

I play balls hockey 3 times a week. Keeps me at a steady 165lb and no extra muscle mass to speak of so I don't balloon into a slob if I stop exercising. It's perfect outside of the fact that it's hard walking around on a windy day.
