Article of the Week

Eating for high energy: The more you exercise, the more you need to eat a balanced diet. The nutritional rules still apply, but with an added carbohydrate intake. The combination of healthy food and physical exertion combats stress, encourages tissue repair, rebalances hormones and releases endorphins and encephalin. Mood and outlook should improve markedly. To boost your sporting performance, you need glucose. The body makes glucose from starches and sugars in carbohydrates, including bread, potatoes and rice and stores it in the muscles and liver as glycogen. Like everyone else, sportspeople need protein, obtained mostly from pulses, poultry, red meat, fish, cheese, eggs and seeds, and vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids. Sufficient fluids, particularly in advance of sport, are vital. You should also drink water during (if possible) and after exercise to replenish fluids. If strenuous exercise and physical fitness are an integral part of your life, you need to think long term and consistently stick to a well-balanced but varied intake of food. Most athletes have a large and nutritious breakfast, especially on the day of an event, and eat a diet permanently rich in complex carbohydrates.

Ask a Lesbian About Last Night’s Work Out: Break-ups, weight loss, Rebecca

It’s been a while since we last checked in with our resident Sapphic correspondents, but since the conclusion of Work Out’s third season, it’s about time we got their take on the season as a whole. 1. Marcie from Rehoboth Beach wrote in to ask: Girls, I’m going to level with you. I was really surprised that Jackie and Briana seemed to patch things up in the end. Or at least get on the road to improving their relationship. Do you think that it’ll last a year? Sam: Yeah, thats what lesbians do

6.5 KM

Tonight was the night of my big run. It was supposed to be last night, but I didn’t feel it. I also had a bit of work to finish. I started late, so I ended at about 10PM. Anyways, I felt that I needed the rest. However, tonight, there was no way that I would have been able to get out of it, even though I was looking forward to it. I have a love hate relationship with running. Today, I ate a few Chinese sausages with brocoli. It’s not the healthiest meal, but I was curious how they tasted. I w

Reduce your salt

Getting used to the taste of food without the extra dose of salt added takes some time, but according to some experts, not a whole lot of time. The benefits of going light on the salt can be quite numerous and well worth the week of possible taste bud discomfort too. Men’s Health Magazine shed some light on the subject and included some helpful tips on how to lighten your salt load. Check it out: (more…) healthy, nutrition, weight loss

Top 6 Foods For Summer

Lap Band Or Gastric Bypass?

Lap Band Or Gastric Bypass? Filed under: Health Time and time again many people try only to end up failing when they go on diets to lose weight. For those who desperately need to lose the weight but are failed dieters, weight loss surgery may be what they are looking for. It would be great if surgery was a quick, easy, instantaneous solution to weight problems - unfortunately it isn’t. If you opt for something like lap banding you’ll need to be prepared to have regular check-ups so that your

Facing the music : weight and measures

Well, my “think it over” phase was longer than I’d wanted and came with a small backslide (up 2 pounds), but has left me full of new ways to approach this weight-loss lifestyle with peace and enjoyment. Sandra Ahten has a great approach to falling off the wagon - that our goal should not be to avoid those times altogether, but to have them be less frequent, less long and less deep. I think I’ve made progress on all fronts with this 10-day slipup. Other than a few noteworthy sessions with bre

Monday,June 30th

Hello everyone, happy last day of June. Yipes the year is going by fast. Oy about all the driving coming up. Looks like the gas prices went down a few cents around here. Gotta check the gas check websites to see the cheapest place where I'm going. Mom said she'll help out w/ the gas thank goodness. just as long as she doesn't distract me while driving!!! Exercise is practically going to be non existant until Wed or Friday @ this point in time. @ least I know what type of restaurant I'm going t

Goodbye, Kitty.

I said goodbye to my cat of 15 years this weekend. I inherited him from a friend in college -- a wee kitten, she had to part with him as his presence violated dorm regulations. For a while we had taken to calling him "kitty" until a roommate conferred upon him the name "Dashiki." Somewhow it stuck. I recall a time where he had escaped and was gone for weeks on end. One summer's night I was watching television when a ball of fur burst literally through the screen door, tearing across the livi

When Measurement Fails, Analytics Become Useless

I have a terrible habit. Every morning, I get on the scales to check to see if I’ve lost weight or fat. In fact, the habit is so bad that sometimes I’ll get on two or three times a morning and even through the day. Measurement is fine and good but sometimes daily measurement of small or difficult to measure changes can be frustrating and inaccurate (unless it says I lost weight â€" then it’s accurate). The other day I noticed that by simply allowing 30 minutes to lapse without doing anything, my

just like a pill

What’s your side on weight loss pills? Do you think that they work? Do you think that they’re bad for you? Well, what I think is that as much as possible, people should avoid them. It’s because, wouldn’t it be nice if you worked hard for your weight loss and not because you depended on some weight loss pill? Right?? But yeah, most weight loss pills these days are said to be effective yet there are still those of which are dangerous, etc. So my say is, be careful if you use them.

Weight Loss & Good old Exercise

I guess if that's the way to do then then I guess I need to get my shit together and do it! Oh yeah, I am talking about weight loss. I guess there will never be that miracle pill and quite frankly I don't want to take anything that is unsafe like hoodia. I just need to get back on board with what I have, well had, been doing. Eating right and exercise. That combination together has always worked well for me. I think the stress of moving has helped hamper my strength to continue thinking with my

Link roundup: Revisiting my 2008 goals edition

The year’s half over already. Thought I’d revisit what I said I’d do at the beginning of the year to see how things are going: I want a closer relationship with God. Eh, this one was convicting. I’ve listened to the Johnny Cash recording of the New Testament, but that’s about it. Nowhere close to reading the Bible on a regular basis. I want to track my finances better. I started out the year not too badly but fell into my old habits of not tracking things. I want to lose fifty pounds. Well, be

It's the Little Things That Make All the Difference

We can never take away someone else's pain, but we can certainly help to dull the edges. Now visiting my niece and nephew in Ireland, I see just how hard it is to want for a soft touch and cuddle -- from the other side. My niece and nephew and I are in many ways two sides of a coin. I feel a special closeness to them for knowing how hard it is to be reminded of a loss in the most ordinary of ways. As I wrote last December it's been two years since my nephew and niece lost their mum to cancer

Fit, Not Frail: Exercise as a Tonic for Aging

Fact: Every hour of every day, 330 Americans turn 60. Fact: By 2030, one in five Americans will be older than 65. Fact: The number of people over 100 doubles every decade. Fact: As they age, people lose muscle mass and strength, flexibility and bone. Fact: The resulting frailty leads to a loss of mobility and independence. The last two facts may sound discouraging. But they can be countered by another. Regular participation in aerobics, strength training and balance and flexibility exerc

Video Games Good Therapy

While political debate rages on about the evils of video games, others are looking at this form of entertainment as therapy. While the medical field has been adapting video games for training purposes for quite sometime, Dance Dance Revolution was overlooked by the public even as schools started to incorporate it into PE curriculum. Nintendo’s Shigeru Miyamoto introduced Wii Fit to the world ushering in public awareness that video games aren’t just for entertainment and edutainment anymore. L

Fat Loss Supplements

The shocking truth about the best supplements for fat loss is, "they don't really work". I'm not convinced any supplement speeds fat loss or boosts your metabolism, or otherwise magically leads to more fat burning. I have not been impressed by supplement research or by talking to people who have used supplements. Supplements are generally worthless for boosting metabolism and burning body fat. I strongly believe all fat burning pills are useless, unless you need some caffeine to stay awake.

Lose weight fast - you can do it

Can you lose ten pounds a week? Let's look at how you can lose weight fast. Whether you want to lose 10 pounds once or until you reach a certain weight, a proper weight loss plan must include eating the right foods and getting sufficient exercise and sleep. Sleep is one aspect of losing weight that isn't often talked about, but it is as important as exercise. Researchers have discovered that two hormones that trigger appetite come into play if we don't get enough sleep. This causes us to overe

How to Become a Runner in Just 10 Weeks

It’s very easy to look at runners and think they’re somehow different to us; that they were simply born super fit - this is definitely how I’ve felt in the past. However, with a little work and determination, you too can become a runner. Many people actually think they’re too overweight, or unfit to run. However the fact is, running doesn’t have to be fast to be effective, therefore anyone can participate. The best part is that it’s completely free! Benefits of running: Boosts energy and

thick skulls and weight loss

I met a personal trainer the other day who tried to talk me into signing up with him for a workout program. For some strange reason, people seem to assume that just because I’m a workout freak, I’m looking to lose weight. I’m not fat, okay? I’m at my ideal weight and BMI and frankly, I’m a happy camper just toning her muscles and working on resistance training. Nothing wrong with that, I hope. If I were looking to lose weight, I’d be buying those hilarious Osim butt  rocking contraptions and

Week One Weigh-in

Starting Weight: 86kgs Weight today: 84.5kgs That’s a good effort for the week. Bit more than what I was aiming at, but not too bad. Went into the gym every day except Saturday. Did half an hour on the bikes, averaging at about 32km/h. Towards the end, I started using the pool and sauna as well (spa isn’t working due to the gas crisis). Had a couple of lapses in my diet, where wednesday night I went out with mates, and ended up having McDonald’s at the end of the night, and last night had Piz

Throwing a Change-Up: Reshuffling the Fitness Routine MMA style…

I don’t know if I am the only one, but I absolutely-totally-understandably HATE when I hear the following words. I love you, I’m just not in love with you. Those words make my blood boil.  But I have to admit, when it comes to my workouts- that about covers my current relationship with exercise.  I love the idea of working out and I love the memory of past workouts, but when it comes to present workouts there is little joy top be had.  And I don’t mean to imply any sense of ease when I use t

the here and now

There are certain times in a person’s life one can not “see the forest through the trees”. I am famous for that. Like when I had my daughter it was only when she was about a year old did I wonder out loud to my friends “you know I think I might have suffered from post partum depression when MD was born”. Or how leaving the west was financial suicide we may never recover from (but at least we have the love and support of our families here) but we thought it would be just a simple easy move back

Checking in again…

Well, my mom is safely at my sister’s home outside of Cape Town. Wouldn’t you know it, I miss her already. We probably drive each other a little crazy at times, but I do know that I love her very much. When I dropped her off at that Delta terminal, I was right, I couldn’t even go in. “Only Passengers Allowed Beyond this Point” it said at the door. I helped her lug her two (hopefully not more than 50lb) suitcases onto a cart and kissed her good bye and had no choice but to drive off. Because of

diet MADNESS

for anyone who knows me the fact that I have been concerned with my weight since time began is no revelation - it’s a real part of who I am and of why I do a lot of the things that I do LOTS of therapy hours have been, and will likely continue to be, devoted to this subject but that’s not what this post is about - this post is about diets and the insanity that surrounds them Oprah and her staff have just very publicly done the 21 day cleanse as prescribed by  Kathy Freston in her book Quant

Calorie Intake

So I’ve been worried about why once I pass the 200 mark my weight loss slows to a crawl. One of the things I love about the South Beach Diet is that you don’t count calories ( I hate it and I usually eat more when I do), but since I haven’t been losing I’m going to count every once and awhile just to make sure I stayed on track. I found a formula for what your calorie intake should be to maintain your weight and then you subtrake 500 cal to lose 1 pound a week. http://weightloss.about.com/od/ea

Pros and Cons of Taking Medication for Manic Depression

Medication is not usually used as a first line of defense against manic depression. Often, the patient has to undergo psychotherapy before the doctor will finally decide if he or she needs to take antidepressants. The reason for this is that the effects of these medications can differ from patient to patient. And these effects can either be beneficial or, sometimes, fatal to patients. Of course, the medications for manic depression are designed to cure the patient suffering from it. However, si

The Shocking Truth about Cardio Training

Why Cardio Doesn’t Work for Fat Loss By: Craig Ballantyne, CSCS, MS www.TurbulenceTraining.com Cardio exercise is such a strange thing. In theory, it should work perfectly well for all men and women, but as anyone who has tried it knows, the practicality of it just doesn’t add up. After all, some men and women do cardio 6 hours, 9 hours, or more per week, and still have belly fat to burn. On the other hand, it works just fine for others. British researchers wanted to get more insight in

Feeling Good about My Week

I tried the innovative step of staying on my food plan for the last seven days and lost a pound.  But really, I didn’t care what the scale said.  What mattered to me is that I just did it this week, follwing the plan without obsessing about food (seeing, tasting, eating, smelling, tracking, or regretting it). I’ve been trying hard to not navel-gaze, as my friend Phyllis calls it.  It’s hard for me to do because I’ve spent most of my life worrying about food things and my frustration with my b

Bariatric Surgery - What is Lap Band Surgery? Does Insurance Cover Weight Loss Surgery?

Study links gastric bypass surgery to increased risk of kidney stones

Morbidly obese patients who undergo a particular type of gastric bypass surgery called Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) are at an increased risk of developing kidney stones â€" small, pebble-like deposits that can result in severe pain and require an operation to remove them â€" earlier than previously thought.

But then I one day found the special headline that caught my eyes. This was also how I began my journey towards losing over 40 lbs of unwanted fat.

Movie Review: 'The Dark Knight'

What can I say? There are moments in film history when everything is pushed aside and performance exceeds genre. Batman Begins told audiences and film critics it was possible to root a comic book generated superhero in reality. Earlier this year Iron Man set out to do the same but lost its balance in the final act. The Dark Knight manages to exceed expectation with a villain so maniacal, his desire for destruction begins to make sense to the point you understand his desire for all out anarchy

Weight Loss and Hypnosis - Relax and Lose Weight

Are you dieting? If so, hypnosis can help you to both lose weight, and keep the weight off when you reach your goal, painlessly. Here are three tips for using hypnosis to help you to meet your weight loss goals. 1.

So You've Had a Stroke -- Now What?

You have had a stroke. Hopefully, you went to the hospital when you developed your symptoms of weakness, numbness, altered speech or visual impairment. Your hospital care enabled you to limit the damaging effects of the loss of circulation to a portion of your brain. You've made it through the acute phase of stroke management. Now what? You will want to obtain the best achievable outcome from the impairments you already have. If you have "motor" impairments (weakness or clumsiness) you can rest

Seven Dirty Words To Die or Live By

If there’s something positive about the death of celebrities, it’s that they create opportunities to educate the average Jane and Joe Public about how an acidic lifestyle and diet causes dis-ease and disease that also affect them. In the recent cases of the great, beloved journalist Tim Russert and the iconic, counterculture comedian George Carlin, there is a window of opportunity to let people know about the risks of an acidic lifesytle and diet and how it causes heart dis-ease, which remains

Acid Reflux - Child Related Acid Reflux

It sounds bizarre but it is true that children tend to suffer from acid reflux. Under normal conditions, food passes via the esophagus and the muscle existing at the bottom part of the esophagus closes off. The process is to facilitate food and liquids to remain inside the stomach. This muscle is known as Lower Esophageal Sphincter or LES. If the LES is not able to close properly, the contents of the stomach and acid have the tendency to settle in the esophagus. Usually GER, Gastroesophageal Re

Hewitt won’t show signs of ‘weakness’ against No.1

If Lleyton Hewitt’s hip causes him problems against Roger Federer in their Wimbledon showdown, the Australian won’t give any inkling. Hewitt, the clear underdog for his fourth-round match against the world No.1 on Monday, has been playing with pain for weeks and refuses to let it interfere with his bid to ruin Federer’s run at a sixth consecutive title. “I don’t complain about injuries too much,” Hewitt said. “I think that comes from a football background, you don’t show when you’re hurt. “

Weight loss when your body wants to stay fat

Weight loss is rarely forever. If you've dieted successfully and then found that the pounds crept back on at speed, it may not be your fault. It's your body. Nashuatelegraph.com: Making sure those lost pounds don't return isn't easy reports: "The human body, it seems, is designed to sabotage weight loss at every turn â€" once a body has been fatter, it wants to get back to the weight that it used to be.

I ""Dislike**"" fat people!

**""cant have hate threads >.o"" If your fat you will be offended get over it, its for your benefit! The question is why aren't people eating healthier, the food is there... Is it because America has gotten to soft on over weight people, an now except them more easily as they say people that are "born" with the fat gene??? Fat people have over ruled our country with their fast fat ass food, an their love of over carbonated high fructose corn syrup drinks. Now I'm not saying fat people a

Size Changes And 26 KM

Well it looks like I’ve gone from an XL or L to a size S again. I don’t remember the last time that I bought shirts in that size. I can actually wear fitted shirts once more. I bought a North Face Flight Series Veloci Tee, and Eider Drycore Dakot M and Aigle Actimum Benbow (anti-bacterial, dry fast, UV control) t-shirts. All were size S.My wife had bought me an Esprit short sleeved shirt that was size M and it fit me well. I didn’t think that size S would be the same way, but I guess it does.

Crash!

Yesterday sucked, all day till around 4:00pm. I woke up feeling like absolute shite - just exhausted and cranky, and I could NOT figure out why. I'd slept OK and had nothing to be stressed out or annoyed about. I was also FREEZING (*ding!* Little hint there....). It was a pretty cold day yesterday, but as usual I had the heating cranked up to "Tropical", so that wasn't it. I had an outdoor training session to do, and that sucked too. I had no energy at all, could barely lift my feet off the gro

After Before and After

In my line of work, I see a lot of “before and after” pictures. They are a stock in trade for weight loss. And, naturally, I show my own “before” picture every time I do an orientation session for new meeting members. I hope it helps people feel both connected and inspired. What I’d like them to see is that I’m just like everyone else who joins â€" a person who needed to take control of my eating. I also love “before and afters” because they make me feel like I’m not alone, and that there are ot

[NFL] Clinton Portis channels four more figments of his imagination

Clinton Portis is a wild and crazy cat indeed. One of his absolute favorite things to do is dress up like its Halloween every time he does a press conference and being the fan friendly guy that he is, Portis is allowing you to choose which reincarnation attends.

Nibbles: Nerve-blocking device aids weight loss, plus pizza that’s not junk food

Trial shows promise for weight-loss device An implantable device that blocks nerve impulses between the brain, stomach and pancreas helped people lose almost 15 percent of their body weight on average during the course of a six-month trial. The vagal nerve blocking device is a bout the size of a pacemaker and is implanted just under the skin. The patient activates the device during the day to help regulate stomach function and how food is digested after a meal. Trial participants weren’t asked

Wii Fit Owners! Know Your Limit!

You see, what that dastardly Nintendo don't tell you is this - you might get used to the daily festival of fitness-related fun. You may find yourself amazed at your ability to do headstands with something approaching impunity. You may unlock most of the unlockables. You may - gasp! - lose weight. But what they won't be telling you is this: you might mistakenly arrive at the conclusion that maybe exercise is a good thing. Maybe sitting on your arse playing GTA Race while listening to On The Go

TGIF!

TGIF! Posted by Jake After another long week of beating back the barbarian hordes its time to kick back and relax with some choice tunage (I’ve clearly been possessed by some sort of long haired mid-seventies DJ type here, just roll with it) So kick off your shoes, let whatever hair you have left down and grab the libation of your choice as we travel back to yesteryear when polyester was king and back up vocals were smooth and sweet… Man I love that song! What would y’all recommend in

One Bill Obama Probably Shouldn’t Pay

One Bill Obama Probably Shouldn’t Pay Even as Obama has sought to politically wed himself to Hillary Clinton and her supporters one senses that he has forgotten that such a marriage comes with a rather hefty Bill; Bill Clinton that is. Even if, as a Telegraph story suggests, Mr. Obama were to figuratively buss Bill’s butt… But his lingering fury has shocked his friends. The Democrat told the Telegraph: “He’s been angry for a while. But everyone thought he would get over it. He hasn’t. I’ve sp

Big breakfast diet aids weight loss: New research from Venezuela and Virginia Commonwealth University shows eating a big breakfast filled with carbohydrates and protein then eating a low-carb, low-calorie diet the rest of the day can help you lose weight and keep it off. Researchers compared their new diet with a strict low-carb diet in 94 obese women who were not physically active. Both diets were low in fat and total calories but had carbohydrates distributed differently. The 48 women on the big-breakfast diet had 1,240 calories a day 46 grams of fat, 97 grams of carbohydrates, and 93 grams of protein. They ate a 610-calorie breakfast with 58 grams of carbohydrates, 47 grams of protein and 22 fat grams.

Economic stimulus

Last weekend, a bit bored and looking for something to do on a hot and intermittently stormy Sunday afternoon, J and I went walking at the Natick Collection, the first time we’d ever gone to a mall together. It had been some three years, J figured, since he’d been to a mall: J’s consumer tastes are simple, and when he needs things, he tends to shop online. I go to malls rarely and typically only to window-shop, shopping malls offering a conspicuous projection of our society and the thing

How To Eat Healthy Traveling - Part One

Eating healthy while traveling can be a daunting task for anyone beginning a transition to a healthier diet. Some may decide to put good choices aside when they take a trip, fly, or go camping for a week. Because I have two trips in July where I’ll be traveling in a car for 2 days to attend a personal development course in BC, and then to New Zealand for work, I thought I would take the opportunity to share how I manage eating healthy while traveling and staying on track. Travel Food First

A Teacher's Best Investment

I am not a big fan of shopping. At all. My mother will be the first to tell you that taking me shopping is not a really pleasant experience. I tend to get bored and cranky very quickly. I hate trying on clothes. Hanging out at a mall is not something I do. In fact, about the only place I enjoy shopping are bookstores and places like Home Depot or Lowes and hardware stores. I guess I inherited my grandmother's practical side. She raised three kids during the Great Depression and the Dustbowl i

Lifestyle Changes OR: How my Kitchen Sink and my Gall Bladder are Conspiring to Save the World

I am a typical American in so many ways. I battle a waistline that bulges as a result of my ready access to so many edible goodies. And I produce more than my share of carbon and other waste, as a result of my ready access to so many consumer goodies. Both my body and my carbon footprint suffer the effects of that American disease, affluenza. I'm not especially good at battling either one. I've gained weight over the years. Right now, it's probably about what it was when I was pregnant with my

Still Stunned!

I am still pretty stunned over how quickly my weight-loss surgery plans have come together. I’ll most likely be going to my all-day pre-op class on the 15th, where I’ll get the scoop on everything. I’ve also found a local message board where I’ve started to connect with people. One reason why I’m pleased with the timing is that I should be able to eat “regular” food when I go home with Thanksgiving … well, not Thanksgiving food, but it will be better than sitting there with my protein drink whi

I miss my appetite

Since being on this weight loss drug, I haven't really had any cravings at all or even had an appetite, at least not like I used to. It's doing its job. I can easily control my food intake. I feel like I'm cheating. It sucks in a way, though, cause my stomach will growl between 4 - 6 every day consistently. This is normal for me, by the way. I just can't go from 12 - 6:30 without having a snack. The problem is I have a huge problem figuring out what to snack on. The things I used to like

Angel's Rest

I thought I would post about something other than weight loss for once! For those of you waiting--the slide shows of our trip to DC are coming. We had a great time and enjoyed the break! This last Thursday we headed back out to one of my very favorite place to hike in the Columbia Gorge--Angel's Rest. It is 2.3 miles to the top with a 1,500 foot elevation gain. It is steep, but the view from the top is so worth the effort. The clouds hadn't cleared when we started up, but when we broke throug

Relay Recap

Relay Recap By Drew | June 28, 2008 The Relay for Life has ended for another year. I’d like to think that this would be the last one ever because that would mean that Caner was eradicated, but sadly it is not and it continues to hurt all of us. But the Relay was not about sadness, sure there were stories and memories and celebrations to the loved ones who have left us. But there was Hope for the future, commitment to keep fighting. I took a few photos as I walked around the track and as I

I’m Losing It

Where it equals weight. I’m losing some weight and it feels great. More on that below, but first: Hi, readers! How have you been? You may have noticed I haven’t been especially communicative lately. There’s a lot I might write about free software and culture, but for some reason I hesitate. Maybe I don’t feel confident in what I want to say. And also I’m keeping busy with other stuff. Enjoying the summer. Last year I made the big switch to Ubuntu right at the start of June and that drove a lo

Healthy Eating Facts

No matter whether we are in shape or we need to lose one hundred pounds, if you adopt these healthy eating facts as a de facto lifestyle choice, you will reap health benefits that can defy aging, cancer, heart disease, stroke, hypertension, diabetes, and a host of other ailments.

Managing Acid Reflux Duration Effectively

If you suffer from heartburn or other GERD symptoms, you know how important it is to be able to shorten the acid reflux duration.  Though some symptoms can be practically unnoticeable, others can be uncomfortable or even painful.  Therefore, the longer the acid reflux duration, the more discomfort you feel.

Elisabeth Hasselbeck's Saggy Boobs At Topless Pool

The ladies on The View were discussing boobs - boobage in many, many forms. Recently Sherri Sheperd and Elisabeth Hasselbeck were at a 'optional topless' pool area while on location in Las Vegas for the show, and they talked about how intimidated they were by the watermelon like boobs on women at the pool. Elisabeth refused to go topless because, as she said, after feeding two kids with those puppies, hers just aren't the same, and are origamically folded into her bra (thanks for the 41
