    The Hawaiian disease, Lack-a-nookie. It happens. He gave some gal a lawnmower and it all went downhill from there. :laugh:
  • Ah what a good week. I actually feel like this is starting to payoff. I forgot what I weighed in at this morning, I think it was like 207, which means i down like 6 pounds from last monday when I started. Toga - X this monring was pain. It is the only workout that I know of that makes you sweat and you realyl don;t move. The whole Warrier One, Warrier Two, Reverse Warrier segment is a ball buster. It is 1 hour and 30 minutes , with 30 minute cooldown....but that hour is probably the toughest workout of the week.

    Combined with the killer boxing workout I did yesterday, man I feel good. Come on guys...keep it up!!!!
  • Is there a place on this site with information on toning. I'm doing cardio via bicycling. Would like to start some hand weight toning exercises.

  • I am not sure but I doubt it. Just google "how to tone your body" I am sure there is a bunch of stuff out there. Go on that mission and report back...soldier....

    Sorry forgot to follow up on the Hawaiian disease.

    I need a "LAY."

    I am gonna need some major willpower tonight at bowling. There is always someone odering nachos, chips and salsa, cheese fries, or pizza and then sharing with everyone. I could eat my weight in nachos and chips and salsa.

    Nope gave some gal a wedding ring.

  • Ah, my friend, here is what you do. Before you go bowling, do some crazy cardio. Do some plyometrics or smething that burns a heck of a lot of calories. Then you won't feel so bad if you have 2 or 3 beers. Do not order nachos, man. Maybe have one or two, but you have to work out before you go.

    You know on a different toekn but since we were talking about nachos, did any of you guys watch the biggest loser on Tuesday? Jillian had to "eat" what the people ate every day, like nachos and burritos, and the like. She had one bite of nachos and spit it out and was like "That was gross".....

    I called BS on that.

    How can you spit out a nacho? She used to be really overweight and there is a clip on youtube where she is talking to people about her weight problem when she was younger and she was like " I stil remember by Taco Bell order". Listen, if you still remember your taco bell order from your teens, you loved taco bell then and even if you are thin now...you still love taco bell...........

    Nope,,, no BS.

    After one year of pretty dedicated fairly clean eating I can tell you that there are tons and tons of things that I used to love that I really don't know if I could eat any more. I tried to eat a piece of cheesecake a while back and didn't get very far. It tasted good, but the texture just didn't work. It was like trying to drink a glass of heavy cream, or eat a stick of butter.

    I used to love S&S pork from the chinese place in town, and now the thought of them little deep fried puffs is pretty grotesque. It happens,,, habits change, tastes change.
  • yeh I guess I can see that. I just know that for me, a large number 10 (Chicken McNugget meal) with a coke and a double cheesburger always will sound awesome to me.

    Oh well...off to do some thai boxing with my brother....

    Maybe I could cure the Hawaiian disease.

    Maybe I should buy a lotto ticket too.

    I wont be buying anything, everyone is just so sharing with their food.

  • Holy crap that was tough!!!!

    Hard to remember, probably 6 months. It's just a habit now. Fruits & Veggies & Lean grilled meat is good, oily greasy deep fried crap is just - - - icky?
  • My arms are like Jello.

    When you train MMA, and you have good guys to train with, even holding the pads is a workout......man I am spent...

    Some pro athletes are training like that. Matt Leinhart is just one I have heard of. Good workout and helps them learn to focus during physical contact.

    I would love to do some MMA training. Contemplating setting up some bags in the basement.
  • Bumping this thread. It gets so buried deep in the forums....

    Dude if you want a MMA style workout, get Bas Rutton All Around Fighting CD.

    Here is a littlle snippet of the DVD's, but the workout is all audio:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mYmfmwUc3p8

    It is only 3 minutes but wwatch until the end. What how hard you can push yourself and how much of an all body workout that is...

    So we have the tape in the back, yeh I know....the freeking audio tape... but it such a workout.. Side 1 is ten 2 minute rounds with 1 minute rest. Side 2 is seven 3 minute rounds with 1 minute breaks. The 3 minute rounds incorporate pushups when you are int he defense down position. You can google Bas Rutton All Around Workout dvd's and find it all over the place.

    You can do this workout anywhere. That is what is so awesome about it. In your bedroom, hotel room, etc.

    I just weighed this morning and after tracking my food input and some exercise, I am very happy with the results 4 ponds this week. I know not to expect that every week, but that number looks good.

    Keep up the good work everyone.

    weekends are tough. If I'm not active and just watching TV, I like to munch. The good thing is there isn't alot of sweet things in my place to munch on. So, usually a tablespoon of peanut butter will satisy my craving.

    I have this strange feeling that Operator will look at this list and get to the alcohol and say "I'm In."

    :laugh:

    PS I realy steer clear of the diets that deprieve you of certain foods. When I come off that diet they usually add back what U lost plus a few more. Besides I already deprieve my body of sex cant do food too.
