Please help with dietary choices for a beginner runner?!?
Okay I finally got fed up with being fat. So last week i just got my butt up and faced my worst fear: RUNNING!! Its always been a mental thing with me and I must say I am doing wonderful! I am enjoying running which is something i never thought i would do. In just one week i've seen an amazing improvement, i read most beginners should start with 2 min jog, then walk... i found that i was easily jogging 7 mins then had to walk. after just one week, i can now do 10 mins with out over exerting myself.
now here's the problem. WHAT DO I EAT?! i def cut out the soda, strict water for me, but i'm lost as to what i can eat. for now I've been sticking to chicken and veggies, small pasta portions and healthy snacks. anyone have any good diet choices that worked for them??
2 AnswersDiet & Fitness8 years agoCritique for poem "The Gardened and the Gardener" ?
I used to have a garden
so beautiful indeed
earthen feel beneath my feet
oh the ultimate bliss
One day I met a gardener
so experienced indeed
with hands like magic, the golden touch
oh my garden, our garden with such a strong heartbeat
The bountiful blossoms of color and scent
so tall and strong indeed
plentiful petals hiding the earth i walk on
oh innocent soil, illegitimate mother of devilish secrets
My bare feet feel the dust with naked naivety
so surprised they are indeed
the heavens open up, soaking with their cleansing truth
oh my, wrong sized footprint marked on mothers hardened skin
I used to have a garden
so beautiful indeed
foreign rose born of someone else's print
oh barren, dry, and broken land, it's all that's left.
all and any critiques welcome. if it sucks, then i should be told lol its what were here for right :)

2 AnswersRunning1 decade agoIs this illegally opening mail?
The place where im staying at said they received mail for me from my previous place of residence. They said they would mail it to me but never did (i was staying somewhere else and they couldnt accept mail for me at that time). When i spoke to them in person the girl said she had looked at it which is when I said "It was opened?" she immediately said it was open when she got it and what not. Ok so their excuse was it did not have my name so they did not to whom it belonged. I said they should have returned to sender to which they replied it did not have a return address. I know thats not true because i was expecting a refund check and theres no way it would have been sent witout my name. I still have yet to get that piece of mail from them! So heres my question, if i hire a lawyer do i have a case?
5 AnswersLaw & Ethics1 decade agoThings come and go.....feedback on a poem, please?
Things come and go and you never seem to notice
Till its too late, till things are gone and out of reach
Like a heart drawn in sand by two lovers
The waves come and wash it away
Like a mother who turns a blind eye
And cries when its too late, when their child is dead
And the man who now sits behind bars
His freedom is gone and he still can’t grasp the fact
Things come and go but some are here to stay
Like the teenage prom queen who failed to realize
The value of love, the value of trust
And she sits in the nursery, where only 17 years ago her mother held her
Like the handsome boy who felt wiser than any man
Bragging to his friends about all the special girls
But now he lies in a hospital bed, no longer feeling like a man
Three letters in exchange for all those special girls
Things come and go but a few are forced to stay
The spirit in a dorm hall, the shadow you think you saw
With a pull of a trigger, a body destroyed
But the soul lives on filled with unrest, only fading if we fail to believe
HI thanks for reading, im looking for a strong finish. n e ideas?
2 AnswersPoetry1 decade agoIn progress poem about divorce, help?
Is it wrong when a man decides he wants out
When he walks away and never looks back
Does he have the right to break the vows?
In search of another who will fill the void in his heart
Is it a woman’s right to expect her man to be home on time?
Should she keep quiet when she smells the unfamiliar scents on his shirts?
Watching him walk out the door knowing he’s made another home
Should her bed remain empty while her husband fills another’s?
Is it fair for a child to wish his mother would keep quiet when daddy tells her to?
Is he selfish if he wants mother to endure infidelities because he wants two parents, not one?
Is it wrong that all he wants is a family?
Is it ok to want to be the glue that brings his mommy and daddy toge

1 AnswerHomework Help1 decade agoSlam poetry about girls who like drama, do you like it!?
Im tired
Im tired of your whining, bitching, cyring, and complaining
Im tired of having to mediate fights that you cause
Because you run your mouth
Dropping rude remarks
without any regard
You talking trash like theres no tomorrow
You bring nothing but hate and sorrow
I hate when you say you don’t like drama
But your always in the middle of it
Always scheming, conniving, destroying everyone around you
You don’t care about the people you hurt
When you start spreading those rumors
That hurt and poison those people like tumors
And like a cancer your words spread
And you act like you don’t know what y

Get off your throne ***** you are not the queen
Don’t push it no more
You are one second away
From getting in the way
Of my fist
Because bitches get stitches and I’m not holding back
I’m tired , I’m done, I’ve reached my limit
Save your drama for someone who cares
Because A friendship with me you no longer share
Peace, deuce, adios, bye
Im through with you *****, so get the hell out of my sight
this is bout one of friends (ex-friends) who loved to stir drama up at every opportunity, im sure we all have that one person in our life who doesnt give a damn about others feelings. comment, love it or hate it, just give me feedback

ok i started watching Nancy Grace's cover of the Caylee Anthony story and i must say i get so irritated with Nancy Grace.

5 AnswersMedia & Journalism1 decade agoPoem about a severely handicapped sibling, any thoughts?
i had a dream last night, a dream that you died
And I looked upon your body and not a single tear rolled down
10 years ago I began harboring this immense hate
Upon an innocent child whose life was on the brink of an abyss
But I was a child too, and I didn’t understand the thoughts inside my head
All I really knew was that my mother was no longer there
Before I knew it I was growing up all by myself.
My problems were pushed aside, not important enough
And so I hated her, but I hated myself more.
For when I looked into your eyes, I wished that you had died on that fateful day
I hurt myself, repeatedly, maybe then my mother would notice me
I didn’t realize I was hurting mom even more.
I was selfish, worthless, and stupid, and somehow I managed to blame the innocent one
Last night I cried when I awoke from that dream.
And the tears that I had held back for 10 years trickled down my face.
I cried because I know I shouldn’t hate you, and I cried even harder because I still do.
My youngest sister suffered a tragic accident when she was only two. She was deprived of oxygen for so long that she had extensive brain damage. Now 10 years later im trying to cope with the feelings
2 AnswersPoetry1 decade agoMy friends and I got in a fight, what do you think?
Ok so theres four girls. Were all really cool. We have a guy friend named Paul. He's been going through some girlfriend problems and we all agree that his gf is totally messed up and a b***h. One of my friends talks really bad about her, worse than the rest of us. So tonight, we ended up going to the same restaurant where Paul and Linda were having a "date". As soon as my friend sees her she starts saying how ugly, stupid, slutty Linda is. We all agreed. But then Michael and Linda come over to our table and my friend (the one who talked trash) was like "oh hi linda, hows ur night going, hows ur dinner" blah blah blah trying to act like nice. So after they left i said, "how can we be so fake, talking about her then acting all nice" so basically they all got mad at me for that. Was i wrong? I said we were being fake because i did not want to single her out, but in reality the rest of us gave her a chill "hello" and did not continue the conversation. IDK i feel bad but i dont think i was completly wrong.

6 AnswersSingles & Dating1 decade agoCan you provide some intellectual feedback on this poem?
The distillation of my love love has vehemently peeled away the layers that encased me.
It tore though me, violent torrent, inducing white-hot rage.
It sifted my emotions, concocting a mystical mixture of pain and pleasure, unbearable pleasure.
It exposed a hidden treasure, agonizing screams suffocating me
My heart has been left naked, raw.
I've shed the wall of blood that for so long preserved my innocence.
There is but a stain left of the former girl, left upon the satin sheets.
1 AnswerPoetry1 decade agoAnyone care to read this and tell me how you would read at a spoken word cafe?
I want to think that you'll be there
Waiting, loving, anticipating my return
Bu here I am alone, at last you decided you were done waiting
So i sit here and I cry and wonder, what is it me?
I tried and tried but you were miles away
Your heart gave up and it showed when you kissed me, when you looked at me, when you touched me.
You knew who I was and what i did and you decided to love me anyway
But now its those flaws that push you away?
Maybe its not me, maybe its you.
I wrote it poem style, but its more like prose
What emotion would you use while reading it aloud?
