Diet and work-out marketing - so much nonsense out there
Anyone else get pissed off at diet/work-out marketing? My BF works out based on Athlean-X videos, so I thought I'd check out their work-outs myself and I ended up going through their 'program selector'. At a certain point, it asks "man or woman" and then proceeds to ask me if I'm interested in a program designed…

How often do you replace a fitness mat?
Back in august I bought a fitness mat and I already feel it needs to be replaced as it doesn't give me much support and it's quite damaged at some places.

Alrighty, I realize science says that we need to exercise and eat less calories but... Are there any kinds of foods that, I dunno, suppress your appetite or help you lose weight or something?

Lent
Without this turning into a religious debate, I’m curious what you do for Lent if you choose to participate. In years past I have given up meat (2012), soda and juice and Gatorade (2013) and the F word in other years. If I slip, I owe myself 5 push ups. This year I am struggling with ideas. I can’t give up juice and…

Damm it I do and Damm it I don't
I love the messages that they send you when you are either above or below your calorie content for the day. I struggle with being close to the 1200calories, if I have too many healthy snacks it pushes me over so than I cut back the next day and I'm under. I guess I need to see where I'm deficient and eat for that. I'm low…
