Also have a Powerhouse regular bench and one fitted with preacher curls down in the garage, plus some dumb bells. Next will be a REAL squat rack. New set of plates with stoppers and some thicker rubberized mats for deadlifts. Install some speakers and maybe a TV on your wall and make sure you do NOT ever have HEAVIER…

Sent me this picture of what she wrote on the beach/sand while walking her dogs with "M***, u r strong, so proud of u' and signed it w/her name and date. Like, it made my day so much I don't even know how to thank this person.

Ice cream. Pistachio nut mixed with chocolate chip, topped with rocky road, sprinkles optional -- only because I forgot to get it, as always. I even forgot to note everything down. I always remember when I get home and it's like, faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaak! Why does this always happen?

I keep re-reading that and it never gets old. Now I'm reading in Huel Howser's voice.

:D if that was a joke, that was totally hilarious. But yeah, I'm afraid I'll start worrying about that craap and more if I were to start wearing that dumb watch I got last month.

A ton of pizza and a ton of soda and I'm about to eat a ton of ice cream.

You can kayak certain portions of the LA River (yeah, there's a river there and it's not very "nature-friendly") but we've kayaked it after a rainy day all the way to the narrows, where for some reason there's a stupid blockade/construction thing that I hope is temporary. You wanna start north of Arroyo, East of the 5 by…

Do you have any extra rooms or an office you're not using? Start building your own exercise room. Pretty soon it'll build up and you'll end up buying commercial equipment and putting them in your backyard (lol). And if you have wooden floors, make sure you layer rubber/foam mats like the ones they have at the real gyms.…

Listen to the Last of the Mohicans soundtrack and tell me it doesn't get you pumped up to start swinging Olympic bars around like Kilik or smashing mirrors using EZ bars with one hand like Astaroth in SoulCalibur/Soul Edge?

Awesome post. Great read and you're looking great! I like the "no excuses" approach despite of your medical condition and with everything else going on in your life. You're really determined. Food looks great too. Girl, you got yo groove baaaack! I (Taye) diggs yo style! :D Thanks for sharing!

When you get the chance, check out the success stories (photos) section and you'll be amazed and motivated by the great things people have accomplished despite of their ages. The blogs also have great reads. Cancer survivors, first-time full marathoners, etc. Truly awe-inspiring.

Kidding. You're still very young so you should be able to keep active with your baby. I'm sure plenty of moms in here can chime in. I've never been pregnant myself.

Listen, man. I don't know you but I hope you're doing well. I went through something similar very recently. After nearly six months of sobriety, I mistakenly thought I was strong enough to say no to certain things I should have said no to just because it was after New Year's and I was going through some things (hectic…

Sounds like most things with "-ol" at the end of the word should be something I should be avoiding at all cost. I have got to start listing these things down. :D Malitol, sorbitol, xylitol, Pepto-Bismol, ALCOHOL... phenobarbital. Wait, that last one ends with an "-al," thus it should be ok then. Lemme go grab some vintage…

5-6 days a week, including weekends doing outdoor stuff. Gym, 4 days at most, at 45-90 mins, depending on how I feel the workout is going.

Yep. Up in the mountains, in the cabins in the snow, have no choice but to follow some sort of keto variation lol Check out the keto group. Plenty of information/recipes/overall tips there.

Nope. You'll be fine.

Anything and everything. Sometimes I make it 2 days. Ate tons of cookies earlier and now having a huge bowl of spaghetti. Plus breadsticks. Later, large fries and some cupcakes and more cookies.

Ladies, do you know who James Deen is? Good friend of mine. Just had dinner with him and another buddy back in our old town.

Nothin' wrong with having Ashley Madison when you're not attached. Plus that *kitten* is better than getting blue balls and wasting money at strip clubs. Not the dude's fault. Sometimes the husbands even know their wives have it and they don't really care because they probably have some 20-year old chick on the side.

Hey man, it happens. We're all going through our own things, but just keep at it until it turns into a routine/regularity once again. Mix it up a bit with other exercises, maybe.

I hate myself every time I relapse on alcohol. I'm cool with beer but when I have too much of it, it's like, "round of shots on me!!!!!" Lol It's terrible.

Lol sorry, wait breastfeeding can help you lose weight? I'm a total moron, sorry.

"Load up 2x/3x the first week on Creatine Monohydrate and make sure you are cycling it at 3 months on, 3 months off." Something like that. :D

They're all useless. Some did work back when ephedra was legal, but these days doctors can prescribe something like Phentermine (pretty strong stimulant/appetite suppressor) but only after you've gone through several physicals. Just be patient.

This is absolutely awesome. Thanks for sharing. Totally agree with dedication and devotion part. Patience and perseverance are also great.

I used to rip like 2-3 Splenda packets into each macchiato (yeah, I know, that's like a crime to the coffee/espresso snobs lol). Stopped that the Splenda and other sugar subs and it wasn't easy, but after about a week or so of doing that, you'll get used to the taste. Bitterness goes away relatively quick.
