Looks like you added quite a bit of muscle as well. Nicely done. I seem to see lots of posts that claim you cannot build muscle on a deficit, wondering if that was the case with you?

I try to weigh/measure everything, just curious what people do to measure peanut butter without making a sticky mess. I have been estimating 2 tablespoons, but that is subject to error.

Personally, I think if you are going to indulge in alcohol every once in awhile, you may as well choose your favorite and just work it into your log. I prefer Johnny Walker Black, sure it may have more calories than Vodka, but it is so much more satisfying to me. But it is only on rare occasions that I drink (once every…

I highly recommend reading "Rasselas" by Samuel Johnson. Its quite short, but replete with devastatingly accurate insights into the mysteries of happiness. I have yet to find a single sentence that was not masterfully crafted. I read the book about once a year for the past 23 years.

Making fun of an overweight person at a gym is like making fun of an unemployed person at a job fair.

Aloha Normals, was a rough weekend, I got less than an hour of sleep in the last two days. Running on fumes at work today. Still got a workout in, but fell prey to a late night cereal craving. Must sleep tonight for my sanity.

Vive la resistance!

When I worked on the Long Island beaches it was 7-11s only for some reason, but they now have a Wawa in Tampa and Clearwater. They a giving Circle K a run for their money.

I remember that area had about 3000 "Wawa" convenience stores. I had never heard of them till I worked there, but now they are expanding into Florida. Quite possibly the nicest convenience stores I have ever been in. Plus there was a bagel shop and a pizza place on every block. You guys must really like bagels and pizza up…

It was really bad up there. I live in Florida, but have designed quite a few beaches in Ny and Nj since Sandy hit. Still have several years of work to do up there.

Ahh, I understand that. I didn't design that area you described, but the closest one of mine is just North of there from Manasquan Inlet to Belmar.

Nice, what beach? Perhaps it is one of my signature beaches.

I never enlisted due to various health reasons, but I was a civilian engineer at the Naval Surface Warfare Center for quite some time before I got into the beach business. I did get to design several ship systems before I left.

Agreed. I once took a week off from the program due to travel, and when I got back in the gym the app said "I noticed you haven't worked out in a week, I think you should deload or you are going to be sore tomorrow" I though to myself, its only been a week I can just keep going as normal. In order to do that I had to pick…

I often work out on Sundays, and I think the music at the Gym gets chosen by whichever employee comes in first that day. One week, they were playing old school metal. May sound strange but I felt like my squat sets felt much easier when Sabbath's Sweet Leaf was playing.

Oh, good point, I should have mentioned I did pay the 9.99 for the premium.

As the weight get heavier, and it does rather quickly, you will be hitting your stabilizing muscles considerably more than at lighter weights. That being said, my daughter and I have added Planks and Hanging Leg lifts as the assistance exercises, and have been happy with the results to date.

Ha, good one.

It was also only her 3rd post ever, and her username starts with "shy". I think her name may be a bit misleading.

It does make the day seem longer when you get get to work on time.

Thinking I might drive down to the Florida Keys and do a little fishing. Or go Guitar shopping, I haven't bought a new Guitar in almost a year.

Hiya Jo, I actually don't have to work this weekend, now I need a plan to have some fun for a change.

Aloha Normals!

Well said

less so for women, but yes I agree .

Perhaps I misunderstood the thread topic.

Painting, Literature, Music, Sculpting or just general artistic leanings?

Lets see, I was in college for 19 1/2 years. I prefer panties over boxers. I lived on a sailboat for 7 years. I once lived on a small island by myself for 3 months.

I see, well, how did you get famous in WoW?
