Uuuuggghhh!! I just finished watching it. I think I'll hear Summer yelping in my nightmares. :( Man, Hodor. Tragic and brilliant.

Gotta love that winkie face when it's thrown at the end of threads like "Looking for friends" or "Inbox Me". Man, those are the best. I'm not a fan of sarcasm. It's totally the worst.

I was going to suggest Beau, then got pumped when you decide on Beau, then was bummed you ditched Beau, but then was pleased with Porter. That's an awesome name! This thread was a roller coaster of emotions. lol! What a cute pup! He will be a chewer for sure, teething on top of being a mouthy breed. Best of luck!!

I have been training a new person at work, so I have had limited computer time for mfp. That is why I haven't kept up with posting on this group, however, I have kept up with my SL. :) Past previous two weeks: 3/13: SL5X5 - A Squat: 5x5 125lb BP: 4/5/4/4/4 80lb Row: 5x5 85lb 3/15 SL5x5 - B Squat: 5x5 130lb OHP: 3/4/3/3/4…

Previous week progress. I've been slacking in posting. 03/07 SL5X5 - B Squat: 5x5 115lb OHP: 3/5/5/3/4 55lb (Fail) DL: 1x5 135lb 03/09 SL5X5 - A Squat: 5x5 120lb BP: 5/3/3/5/4 80lb (Fail) Row: 5x5 80lb 03/11 SL5X5 - B Squat: 5x5 125lb OHP: 5x5 55lb (FINALLY!!!) DL: 1x5 135lb (I tried 140lb and it wasn't feeling right, so…

SL5x5 - A Squat: 5x5 125lb BP: 4/5/4/4/4 80lb (Fail, but I can't believe I did so well for 80lb.) Row: 5x5 85lb

I started working out in the morning at home, but switched to evenings. In the AM, I wasn't getting enough food in my body to support my lifts and with weight getting heavier my work out time has increased, so I felt like I was clock watching and rushing to try to finish my workout to make it to work on time. I wasn't…

Ziplock baggies with sand! lol! Omg - that is me. This past week I officially switched from deficit to maintenance. I so hope this pumps some life back into the girls. Haha!

Excellent point! I didn't even think to mention warmups. It is beneficial as weights get heavier and adds time to over all work out.

SL5X5 - A Squat: 5x5 120lb BP: 5/3/3/5/4 80lb (Fail, but proud I managed to even get 80lb up. That was not easy for me.) Row: 5x5 80lb (I was supposed to do 90lb, I was able to, but my form was lacking. I decided to de-load to 80lb and work my way up again.)

How far along are you with SL5x5? In the beginning it does go pretty fast because the weight is low/easy. For me, now that weight is heavier, I have longer time in between sets, which makes the overall time longer. With heavier weight I am getting an increase in soreness, which makes sense because before with lower/easier…

SL5x5 - B Squat: 5x5 115lb OHP: 3/5/5/3/4 55lb (fail) DL: 1x5 135lb I was supposed to do squats at 120lb and deadlift at 140lb, but my body was not having it.

@dcresider, I am sorry for your loss. I hope you and your family are dealing as best as possible. Since I am doing maintenance/recomp, figuring out my calories is a bit of a trial and error process. I've been maintaining pretty well, but since starting SL5X5 I've noticed I need to up my calories or else I get fatigued. I…

Day 14 SL5x5 - B Squat: 5x5 110lb OHP: 4/4/3/3/1 55lb (fail city) DL: 1x5 130lb

Day 13 SL5x5 - A Squat: 5x5 @ 105lb BP: 5x5 @ 70lb Row: 5x5 @ 85lb

Hello everyone, I usually post each workout in the monthly thread, but I don't think I've really shared much details about myself. Also, weekly is a nice way to see progress. Details about me: - Beginner - 5'2.5" - 141lb - I would like to build strength and lean out. A slow body recomp. - SL5X5 every other day. My starting…

Day 11 - 2/26: SL5X5 A Squat: 5x5 95lb Bench: 3x5/2x4 70lb (Failure on last 2 sets. Will hope to complete 5x5 next time.) Row: 5x5 80lb Day 12 - 2/28 SL5X5 B Squat: 5x5 100lb OHP: 5x5 50lb (FINALLY!!) DL: 1x3 130lb (Failure. Will try again next time.)

I actually did pick up a pie on the way home from work yesterday. <3

Thanks @ninenines, I just actually finished doing just that. :) After work and a day of good eating, I tried my session again. I did well on my squats this morning, so I just did some warm up squats @ 45lb. OHP: 3x5 50lb 2x4 50lb (better, but still failing at the last sets. OHP is my worst.) DL: 1x3 90lb, 1x3 115lb, 1x5…

Oh, yeah! Old Navy usually has great sales too. I got a pair of leggings there and I really like them.

Target and Walmart have workout clothes from sneakers to sport bras and everything in between. TJMaxx, Marshalls, and Ross with have brand name stuff for a discounted price. Around holidays most stores have major sales and you can snag great stuff for 40/50% off. Gapbody is a fav of mine for leggings, shorts, tops, sport…

Pizza, egg, and espresso is one of the greatest combinations. Ever. You are required to enjoy with slow jams on.

This morning was terrible. Not sure if it's lack of sleep previous nights, germs in the office, and empty stomach or a combo of all, but I was so fatigued and weak this morning. SL5X5 - B Day 10 Squats: 90lb 5x5 OHP: 50lb 5/3/4/2/3 It was such a struggle, I waited 3 min between sets to see if it would help. Just all over…

This thread just reminded me it's been a while since I've made pizza. I must make pizza this weekend. I want to leave work and make pizzas now!! *flips desk*

The truth is out there.

I like both. I've read ebooks more than books in the last few years. It's convenience and cost. I have the kindle app on my iphone and ipad. If I have a moment to read I can pick up where I left off easily without having to carry anything extra around, my phone is already on me all the time. I read every night in bed. It…
