I have two today... First, I decided to go to the gym last minute tonight. I had my gym clothes from yesterday in my bag. Of course, they were still damp from last night... And it is in the teens tonight. So I wrote frozen sweaty gym clothes. Ew. Fortunately, there were only two other people there tonight. And secondly, I…

I love a good pre workout. Takes me from "not feeling it" to "don't wanna stop"

The gym I go to now is across the street from pf. The basic membership there is also $10 pm. The "platinum" membership, which includes classes, tanning, yoga classes, and free bottled water every day, is $45 pm, for me AND my wife.

My masseuse actually gets up on the table and kneads my back with her knees. It feels sooo good! Yes, sometimes a massage is painful, and not very enjoyable. But you feel so much better, it's worth it.

On days I do step based cardio, I hit 10k. On days i bike, swim, lift, or yoga, I don't. Then one of my *kitten* fitbit friends sends me a taunt because they strolled around thier neighborhood. Oh well. We'll see who gets to taunt when we do warrior dash together in a few months and he eats my dust!

I think the problem is our quick fix culture treats obesity like an acute problem when it isn't. It isn't a disease... It is a natural consequence of certain lifestyle decisions. If you change those habits permanently, you will keep the weight off. If you go back to your old choices, you won't. That simple (absent certain…

Id do intervals. Like two minutes at a high setting fast, then one minute at allow setting slow. Repeat till you want to die.

The local pf asked a girl I know (hot 19 year old, very fit) to leave because her shorts did not come to a certain length.

Is there a tri group here? If not, someone should start one...

Yeah, I itch occasionally when I take my c4. According to what I read online, its niacin flush. http://www.doctoryourself.com/niacin.html Try eating before your pre workout. Or scale the dose back. But it shouldn't hurt you.

I joined pf at new years, because it was cheap. The one here is always dead. Never more than 20 people. I quickly switched. They just don't have any lifting equipment at all at the one here. Its funny, at pf, I am rock star. At my new gym, I am the slob. Lol It is remarkable the difference in intensity. At the new gym,…

This is a problem I have yet to solve. I would just like to get lasik, but can't afford it. I'm about to start training for a triathlon, and the thought of swimming that far in open water with a million people splashing around while I'm Damn near blind doesn't really sound good. I guess i need to get some contacts. I've…

What you should do is go buy an article of clothing that is to big for you, but not big enough for her. Then give it to her as your big clothes, and watch her struggle to button it.

Because occasionally, I used to skip a meal or eat a salad. It didn't make me skinny. Conversely, occasionally overeating will not make me fat.

Don't forget to strap on a heart monitor too. ;)

Giggle. I have a pf membership. It is my backup for when I want to work out in the middle of the night, and my real gym is closed. I'll probably cancel when it gets warm.

I'm starting A new app as we speak... Track my f*#%

Is this to be construed as an offer?

Running farther or lifting heavier than yesterday.

I like to just come back over the top with the rudest stuff I can think of when people do that. Once a total stranger looked at me at a store and said something about me being fat. I replied "hey, I can lose weight. But you will always be a vapid tvvat." That sort of thing.

Well you shouldn't be penalized for being a responsible parent!

So I wiped out on the treadmill today. Was in LA LA land, foot went up on the side rail. I stumbled, get launched out the back. Fortunately, no injury. And no one saw.

I'm getting talked into doing a sprint triathlon in July... At least the swimming is first so i won't down!

Today, I weighed line normal. Same as yesterday. No way I was gonna let that fly. So I sat down and made myself poop. Weighed again... Down a pound. Sure I was fifteen minutes late to work, but it was worth it.

I'm gonna do my lifting assignment from my trainer, and then cardio until I Damn near drop! Maybe body combat...

They are doing a 5k for valentine's day in Nashvile that everyone runs in thier underwear. I believe a polar plunge in the Cumberland river is the ending. I'm thinking of going just to watch. No way in hell im doing that.

Last night, I did an urban hike. I wore my charge hr, and also had track my hike GPS tracking. The fitbit and GPS were almost dead on as far as distance is concerned. Fitbit had slightly higher calorie burn. Other people in the group has various types of fitbits, and all had almost the exact same distance. Steps varied as…

They have a machine at my gym called jacobs ladder. Basically, it is a moving ladder that you climb forever. That thing looks evil. Nobody has ever touched it since I've been there.

Make yourself pay for it. If you are going to drink 500 calories of wine, make the price 500 extra calories of exercise. If it's still worth it, then keep it. If not, lose it.

No... And I need to stretch better too. I'm bad about that. Thanks for your help!
