Hey, t2b put his foot down. What he says goes

True story: I talked to Richard Simmons when I was a fill-in cops reporter at my old paper. He bitch slapped some guy at Sky Harbor airport and was cited by police.

Hell yes, he should be allowed in the work out thread because of that

His sweet hair should allow him to be in the workout thread. Dude sounds like a diva What did the dude do to get bitch slapped?

OK, he's allowed in the work-out thread.

Here's AP's story:
PHOENIX - Exercise guru Richard Simmons allegedly slapped a man who made a sarcastic remark about one of his videos, police said. Simmons, known for his "Sweatin' to the Oldies" series of exercise videos set to songs from the 1950s and 60s, was cited for misdemeanor assault.
A fellow passenger recognized Simmons on Wednesday night at Phoenix's Sky Harbor International Airport as he was waiting for a flight to Los Angeles, police said.
The man "made the off-hand comment, 'Hey everybody. It's Richard Simmons. Let's drop our bags and rock to the '50s,'" said Phoenix police Sgt. Tom Osborne. "Mr. Simmons took exception to it and walked over to the other passenger and apparently slapped him in the face."
The passenger, whose identity wasn't immediately available, wasn't injured but told police that he intended to file charges against Simmons, 55.
Osborne said Simmons was cited for misdemeanor assault and permitted to board his flight.

This saddens me. You helped with my "wounds" and all I did in return is hurt you. I'm sorry.
And Happy Birthday!

Thanks. Hope you are doing better with the healing from your surgery.

Ha yeah mine has only leaked twice. Once I had so much fruit and stuff in there I couldn't really see the liquid and it went over the max line and funnily enough today when I didn't have the top screwed on tight enough.

I did the same thing today, too That little thing really is awesome. What did you make today?

All the recipes I see normally mix fruit and veggies together but I think that's gross so I do a veggie one in the morning and a fruit one later in the day. The fruit one is always the same, banana, apple, strawberry, almonds, skim milk and protein powder. I experiment with the veggies a bit. Today I did this no fat, low cal Greek yogurt mixed with spinach, cucumbers, carrots and walnuts. All mixed together it tasted like veggie dip. It was pretty gross but I drank it. I didn't expect the Greek yogurt to taste so bad. I guess when you get something with no fat and real low sugar its not gonna taste that great but wow is it sour. It's loaded with protein though so I gotta decide if its worth choking down or not.

What if you added just a little honey or maybe a date or two to sweeten it just so it's bearable? You do get used to the flavor after awhile, though. Plain yogurt/kefir is a favorite of mine.

i cant usually do greek yogart, that stuff is just too tart for me, though like Chloe said, a little honey helps, but not sure how it would go with the other veggies

Yeah I think I'm just not a greek yogurt fan.

Same here. Have you ever tried kefir?

I'm a big fan of Lifeway's kefir products. I have it every day. Kefir itself has more priobiotic strains than yogurt, and generally the same protein content. I was leery for years in trying it, if only because the name "kefir" wierded me out. But, it really just tastes like a "fizzier" yogurt to me. The only thing that I'm not excited about with the Lifeway products is the sugar content in each smoothie I've been drinking. For now, I use it as my gateway into kefir and eventually I'll segue into making real kefir from the grains.

Is that how you are doing it, Chloe?

I do drink a bit of kefir every day. Hadn't really considered the sugar in it, though. Even the plain has about 12g/cup. I'd love to make my own, but I'm pretty sure my grains would die - I travel about half the year for work and Doc doesn't like doing his chores when I'm out of town For now, I'm ok with Lifeway. I imagine if bada doesn't dig greek yogurt, kefir would work for him if it's going into a smoothie.

I've heard of Kefir Sutherland but not kefir the food. Must google!

I've been sick lately so I've been throwing a couple extra oranges in my juices. It's been helping.

last nights juice was a little bland, it was my first all veggie juice, it was 2 tomatoes, 1 carrot, about a 3rd of a red pepper, about a 3rd of a cucumber, 1 stick of celery and 2 radishes. i was hoping it would be similar to a v8, but im sure they have a lot of salt in them. im wanting to make another juice tonight but not sure if i should try to tweak that one or do one of the fruit and veggie combos.
