Eight different Golden Bears found the back of the net as Cal saw it's highest scoring effort since 2010.   Cal now holds a 6-3-6 overall record of 7 wins, 3 losses, 6 ties and remains undefeated in Pac-12 play at 4-0-4.

Senior Anysa Gray snuck one final goal past the Ducks' keeper in the 45th minute giving the Bears their highest scoring effort of the season in just one half.   Caln tacked on two more goals in the second half including one from Wright who finished with a score and two assists on the day.   Oregon escaped a shutout scoring the final goal of the match in the 81st.   Sophomore Teagan Wy had a strong outing between the posts collecting three saves in 66 minutes of play before senior Makena Smith closed out the rest of the contest for the Bears.

You need to learn to love yourself before you change yourself, it’s hard to change anything in the image of hatred. I know it’s hard, but you can do it!

The Benefits of Keto Meal.

Introduction to the Keto Diet

The Ketogenic diet, for short is a low carb, high-fat diet that aims at changing the body's fuel source from carbohydrates to fats. The metabolic state that results from burning fat for energy is termed ketosis; it results from the burning of fat for energy in the production of ketones.

Why people use the keto diet

1. Weight Loss: burn fat efficiently through the reduction of carbohydrate intake.

2. Blood Sugar Management: the keto diet can stabilize glucose and insulin levels.

3. Cognitive Benefits: many claim improved Focus and mental clarity.

4. Energy Boost: Ketones provide a reliable energy supply, and there will be no sugar crash.

The central keto diet principle is to have about 70% of fats, 20-25% proteins, and 5-10% carbs.

Benefits of Keto Meal

Long term Weight Loss A keto meal is a very effective method in controlling hunger because insulin is stabilized.

You can keep your appetite for much longer time, and your blood sugar rollercoaster ride prevents cravings because you tend to lose less weight if your diet is fluctuated with constant sugar level peaks and drops. Sharp Brain Function and Focus Ketones are a supply of energy for the brain stable source of. Unlike carbohydrates whose level fluctuate constantly throughout the day; hence, there is neither morning mental fog nor depression or brain fuziness.

Improved Blood Glucose Control Ketogenic diet meals help subjects of type 2 diabetics or in-insulin resistance by ensuring lessened blood glucose. Furthermore, insulin sensitivity goes better since there exists lower levels of carbohydrates input, thereby reducing quick jump of blood sugar rate in the blood that sometimes is hazardous to bodies as they cause very risky levels of blood Sustained Energy Endurance Fat is one good energy source compared with carbs.

Many Dieters have experienced constant stream levels of energy to flow during their entire lifetime the day without the mid-afternoon crash. Reducing Inflammation Low-carb diets are correlated with decreased levels of chronic inflammation. Most people find relief from issues like joint pain and migraines when adopting a low-carb lifestyle. How to Live Keto Meal Planning

Healthy Fats:

Avocado, olive oil, fatty fish, and nuts are the best sources.

Personalized Protein Intake:

Limit Carbs Wisely:

Durden Named NCAA Men’s Swimming Coach Of The Year

Earns Top Honor For Seventh Time; 15 Bears Earn All-America Status

BERKELEY – For the seventh time in his career and second consecutive year, California head coach David Durden has been named the NCAA Men's Coach of the Year by the College Swimming & Diving Coaches Association of America (CSCAA).

The award comes after Durden led the Golden Bears to their eighth all-time national championship and sixth in his 16-year tenure as Cal's head coach. The Bears also won team titles in 2011, '12, '14, '19, '21, and '22 while finishing among the top two teams at 13 consecutive national meets dating back to 2010.

Cal secured its second consecutive national championship at the Jean K. Freeman Aquatic Center in Minneapolis, scoring 482 points and finishing ahead of runner-up Arizona State (430 points) and third-place Texas (384 points).

Durden has also been named the Pac-12 Men's Swimming Coach of the Year yet again. It is the sixth straight year and 12th time in a 14-year span that Durden has been named the conference’s COY.  No other current college coach in the sport has won as many titles. Between Durden and the late Nort Thorton, Cal's head coaches have earned the award 16 times since 1978.

Additionally, the CSCAA also announced its 2022-23 All-Americans, including 15 Golden Bears (see below). All-Americans are selected on the basis of their finish at the NCAA Championships and team's current membership with the CSCAA. Only student-athletes who competed in their championship finals are eligible for All-America Honors.

Wow, that actually happened.

So...Oklahoma is out.

Nationals Day One is over and the Four on the Floor is LSU, Cal, Florida, and Utah - just as we all definitely expected!

Blake from Half In Half Out reporting for duty while the Head Gay in Charge of the Sass Department, Spencer of the Balance Beam Situation, tends to his health.

Semifinal One featuring LSU, Cal, Arkansas and Stanford. LSU and Cal should advance is everyone does their normal, but Arkansas or Stanford could slip in with a serious mistake or two from either favorite. This semifinal occurred at a reasonable hour, and featured teams I actually really like and several athletes we've followed for a long time. It's all good vibes, and I want Sav and Sirena to have the best night ever.

Sav kills it. Sirena gets attacked by the beam monster but lives to tell the tale. It'll still be a fun story. These two are absolute gems and I am so proud of their careers and the people they've become.

We get a final(?) Chae floor party. It's sensational. 9.95 I think - I hope she takes a fifth year if she wants to.

Anyways.

It's LSU and Cal, as we all figured. Stanford put up a fight for a bit, but it wasn't enough in the end. Stanford and Arkansas are, and damn well should be, proud of how far they came this season.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

I wait until my bed time for Semifinal Two to start, fully expecting to be able to half watch it as Oklahoma coasts into the lead and Florida battles Utah and Alabama for #2.

Oklahoma started on vault and the first athlete immediately fell on her ass and her pride *cur Stick It montage*. Then two others nearly fell on their own respective behinds and Oklahoma ends the first rotation in last place, down over a point from the rest of the field.

I suspect this will be hung in OU's locker room sometime today:

Before the second rotation starts we get an Oklahoma vault error compilation, followed by an Oklahoma fluff piece. Yikes. I mean I guess there probably won't be any good time in this meet to show it. They just said their team is good under pressure situations in the fluff.....well...yeah, usually.

The beam monster eats Alabama's feet and they count 3 falls in rotation two. Jaedyn Rucker of Utah has a weird floor fluke but they don't count her score. Raena Worley does her final routine and we all cry when she cries.

Everything is normal, Oklahoma is in third, despite whatever the hell that first rotation was, and Florida and Utah can either do their normal and qualify to Saturday - or have a medium flop-fest on any event and fall behind Oklahoma. Sure. Okay.

This is when the broadcasting Gods smiled upon us all and gave us an even more poorly timed fluff. Oh yes. It's happy Alabama montage time!

Around this point Kino texted me “Is this the best day of my life?” Yes, bestie. I think so.

Throughout the rest of the meet, Utah and Florida have a couple small mistakes, but they end up finishing squarely on top.

Oklahoma counts a fall on beam and we get this gem from John:

*and thus begins the John hates Oklahoma and Alabama lore*

In the end, we land here:

Bryant wins the All Around - justice is served.

So on Saturday we'll crown a National Champion that isn't Oklahoma, which is of course devastating to the Sooners and their fans, but is also just objectively exciting and interesting. LSU, Cal, Utah and Florida all stand a real chance of winning this thing, in my opinion. All 198-capable, including with post-season neutral-site scoring.

Utah and Florida need to lock in and get rid of the mistakes that cost them those last few tenths on Thursday. The winners almost certainly won't count a fall, but I'd bet the winners won't HAVE a fall. Each of these teams has flinched under pressure at some point this season, and each has shown their depth and adaptability throughout the year.

My best guess? I mean. LSU had the most complete semifinals performance. I want Sav to get a Natty. Konnor has been such a star, Bryant is amazing, Kiya is doing great - it may be their year. Florida gives me anxiety, but a win for Morgan Hurd's team is always a win for my team. Cal would be such a fun win. Can they prove themselves under pressure this time around? And Utah can always smash it. I'm always surprised when they don't land in the Finals. They're just solid. Now, I will never root for Utah, but I admire how their coaching staff has handled this year's sudden transition - based on the gymnastics and things we see on camera - and will be fine with them winning if they are the best on the day. They can be the best of this group, and certainly might be on Saturday, and that athletic achievement can exist separate from all of the valid criticisms of individuals on their team/staff and their behavior towards their former teammate.

In the words of RuPaul, "I can't wait to see how this turns out."

tips from what i’ve learned over the years!

some of these might be obvious, but they’re all things i learned the hard way

when you eat, eat things high in protein, it’ll keep you fuller for longer

drink lots and lots of water!! this is honestly the most important thing because it keeps you fuller and can help clear your skin

if you’re an athlete, eat carbs before a game/meet. i know they’re high cal but it’s better to play your best than to risk losing just because you didn’t have enough energy (this also applies to actors and dancers!!!)

track ALL a of your cals. lose it is an amazing app and even when you binge, TRACK!!! it helps you to realize how high cal some of the things you eat are and hold you accountable

when eating out/with friends, eat no more than half of your food. and while doing this, drink water inbetween bites, and eat slowly.

set up rewards for yourself! it’ll feel so good once you loose a certain amount of weight and then in addition to that get rewarded

overall, be consistent! if you binge, move on and know that tomorrow is a new day. don’t give up, and remember that everyone has bad days, but that doesn’t give an excuse for a bad week.

good luck!
