Love my Docs (wearing my purple ones at the moment), but also love my Cons. Particularly the Batman ones.

Stench or Bluewolf (or anyone in the know)...whats the name of protein you use,I was just looking at that site and it looks a bit completcated.

I'm mostly grand with eggs or porridge in the morn but sometimes I'm not hungry and have to force myself to eat something. Do you think a protein drink would work in these cases. Can you just mix it with water?

Bubblefett

I have pink cons and heeled black docs
Don't really wear the cons but I loooove docs. Need more. Yes yes.

Stench Blossoms

I actually use Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Whey which can be got from here or here (And I'm sure many other places) But if I'm getting some from myprotein I usually go for this one here

Nice flavours : Chocolate mint, chocolate nut (so bluewolf says!), cookies and cream

Avoid: Toffee - just doesn't taste like toffee.

as for cons, i like mine, but the material at the back of the heels has completely torn and now there's a big hole on the inside in both even though i've hardly had them long enough
does that happen to anyone else?

Ya that has happened mine Very disappointed. I want to get some green ones but I saw some really pretty ones with a multicoloured tongue!

Always with milk. Taste like death (I may be over reacting ) with water

Just took a metal bowl out of 185 degree oven where it's been for 40 minutes...and promptly put my index finger on it :eek::( Lovely welt across it now, ouchies.

Thanks bluewolf and Stench Blossoms! I figure if I get a good start to the day it'll be easier to stay on track I might stash some in work too, some days I barely get 10 minutes to eat something and I'll invariably grab something quick and rubbishy :rolleyes:

I find whey protein works best, put milk and a banana in a blender with two big scoops of powder, its a mini meal in itself, drink it straight out of the blender

Does your diet have to be very good if you want to take protein shakes after a weights workout?

I also think it was really cool that the Alestorm gig wasn't over 18s, there were loads of young metal fans that got a chance to see them who wouldn't have otherwise. was great

Been playing about 6 years now. Really impressing his school musical mates with his shredding skillz.

There's a Lamb of God gig coming up which is over 18s. He's pretty pissed about that and is currently concentrating on looking a bit older...

Well if your diet is good enough you shouldn't have to take the shakes. Or so I've been led to believe.

The reason I take them is because I work out so much I burn quite a bit of caloires and don't eat enough for what I burn. So I could eat a load of crap food to make up the difference but instead I use protein shakes.

Easier to digest rather that eating another chicken fillet.

Seriously how's it Wednesday already?

Had my interview with the Samaritans last night and will find out next week if I made it on to the training programme. It could not have gone better if I tried

So fingers crossed that I am one of the ones that makes the cut.

I'm sick of eating chicken lol, two fillets for dinner with rice or veg and a shake afterwards, seem be working though

I did some volunteering with ChildLine and while it's tough (training esp) it's so rewarding!

Stench Blossoms

Got I can't eat anymore chicken. I'll turn into one!

Although I'm making almond coated chicken later for dinner. Can't wait.

Thanks so much. We had the information night a while back and that was really good - we were told what to expect and that it isn't for everyone. I have wanted to do this for so long (as in back in the late 90s) but for work reasons I was unable to.

I left feeling really positive about it and I think my passion came through in my interview. We'll see what they come back with next week. :cool:
