  1. Getting serious about my diet as I'm tired of having a beer belly and being ~30# overweight.  Looking for recipes and app suggestions for tracking calories/nutrition.

    Going off of @troph's post in the Ozempic thread (trying to avoid going the Ozempic route, mostly because it's a massive pain in the ass and expensive) and using this diet:

    anti-inflammatory diet - lean protein, whole grain, fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, some dairy, eggs, salt, pepper and healthy oils

    I know she said she ate as much as she wanted and didn't count calories, but I need to as I eat way too fucking much.

    I have purchased a scale to weigh my food, but I need to find an app to track it.  Would prefer free, but as I google, I see that many apps that started out free have monetized the better features such as recipe saving and barcode scanning.  What are y'all using?  Likes/Dislikes?

    Feel like a blender is in my future as smoothies seem like a mainstay.  Any suggestions?  Would love to keep it under $100.

    How much did you pay for tix? I wanted to go for the home opener but cheapest was $30 and there were loads of empty seats. Figured prices would drop so never bought tix but right before game time I didn't see a secondary market and they were still $30 on the website.

  3. To follow up on the match:  Houston is just flat out better than Austin.  3-1 W for Houston.  Their team is mostly Euros, plus Jordan Thompson from Cinci - she led the match w/ 23K.  She's 6'4" and their side was noticeably taller than Austin.  Seems like Austin played a lot of players while Houston kept their rotation much tighter.  Happy to look at the stats this morning and see my thoughts during the match confirmed - Logan Eggleston was easily the most efficient player on Austin and didn't even play much the 1st 2 sets for some reason.  Zoe was an animal on the back row - the Houston side was demonstrably more powerful at the net and she was digging some powerful swings.  Name change, btw - marriage? Good to see Juliann still playing - she looks great, btw.  Chiaka got way too much PT for how she was playing.  She was great on O in the 1st half of the 1st set, but after that, more misses than hits and couldn't block to save her life.

  4. At the LovB match now. Great volleyball, but attendance is kinda light. Whoever designed this place must be the same asshole that designed Jerry World - you can’t walk around the concourse on one end, so if you come in that way but your seat is directly across, you have to walk the entire way around instead of the short side.

    Madi looking great, playing mostly right side so far. Chiaka and Zoe playing well also.  The power some of these girls have on their serve is unreal!

  5. In fairness, they're calling them softshell pants, so...

    Those look like pants for someone who doesn't fall, and rides mostly in March/April.  Never seen them before, and that's not my profile, so I have no opinion.

    I actually like Tatum more than most, but your inflated sense of worth regarding him is insane.

    The Celtics believe in defense first.  Their offense is based on attacking the weak defensive link on the other team.  They just won the title by mercilessly hunting Luka over and over.  It has zero to do w/ who is on the Celtics and 100% w/ who Luka is as a player.
