I wish I had 22" arms. Does that answer your question? Haha

1. Make friends with elephants 2. Get better at photography 3. Finish my business plan 4. Find "the one" and live happily ever after haha xD Cool topic for a thread!

Me too. Then I tell myself that diabeetus is real, and I'm next. Joking aside, I really do tell myself things like that. Helps me focus on WHAT I NEED TO DO to stop the terrible things I imagine myself getting down the road if I carry on like nothing is wrong. Works for me, but that self negativity could be pretty harmful…

In my opinion, if you're questioning if you'll regret it then wait. I have 5 tattoos ready to be inked (finally) this summer. I've put serious thought into every one and they all have meaning but I've never felt like the time was right. I went back and forth about whether to go thru with them or not for years. One design…

NT here. Welcome to MFP.

Deadlift: 425 Squat:225 Bench:225 I've never attempted more than 225 for my bench or squat, I just rep for 10 and 8. When I started taking my health seriously again I set those numbers as goals and when I hit them I never had a 'what's next' moment so I stayed put. I'm feeling better than I ever have and starting to like…

My 2 year old nephew trying to say my name. Quite the laugh. Also, I saved 15% on my car insurance by switching to Geico.

Cut my own hair yesterday. I think I missed a spot...

Pi. Just because.

Who cares what anyone says or thinks. There's a reason people keep saying it, because it's true. It's what you feel/think/say that matters. If that's what your heart tells you, then listen. Don't base it on the fact that other people aren't noticing. I'm not going to preach, but if you can get past that you'll be ok. Good…

John Wick. The first one. Had no idea what it was about going into it and was blown away.

^ Dell Inspiron 15 7000 Series (7567). They had a crazy sale and I got it for nearly half price. And I just bought a plane ticket. Again, sad about how light my wallet feels, but excited at the same time.

Absolutely the right attitude! I'm with you on that. Focus on big picture and don't let a day, or two, or five ruin your mind set and distract you from your goal.

I had 3 days in a row where I went over by tons. One day was like 1200 over! Scale numbers went down a few days later. What I learned? As @malibu927 and @JohnnyPenso above just said, log it and move on.

I call that ice broken. Talk about it. If it's awkward it's awkward, but I say embrace it.

Everyone's already offered up great advice. Only thing I can add is if all else fails, ask. When I first started in the gym and didn't know what to do I just watched what other people did and if they looked approachable I'd ask them to show me how to do it. What I've found is that most people are not only willing, but are…

Scale numbers down, max rep numbers up. Great work. Keep crushin it!

I have 2. Ride my bike every day this month and go to the gym every day this month. My rest days are now cardio days which I never used to do.

For chicken breast I marinate with olive oil + salt. If you want to add spices that's your call. I usually use a bit of dried thyme, basil and black pepper. Let sit in the fridge for min 2 hours to overnight. Then pound them out and grill until internal temp is at least 160. I usually serve it with a salad. I work as a…

That's actually impressive man. Slow clap + standing ov.

This is a great thread topic @kitty_meow_meow_ . Way to put a spotlight on the important people who probably don't hear 'thank you' enough. For me personally I'd like to thank everyone on my MFP friends list. They're all so active in this journey to a healthy life that the energy spreads and it's inspiring. This whole…

Dope. I can see that. Thanks @loveliveswithin

I don't remember my dreams often. I did last night. I was on a beach, I was alone, couldn't see anyone. It was late afternoon. I sat by the tree line, in the sand, just staring at the ocean. Not sure what I was wearing. I had a portable speaker and had music on but I can't remember what was playing specifically (just…

If you can I'd try waking up at least a half hour before doing anything + a combination of the suggestions above. I find just being awake a little before getting active helps. Add a coffee 10 minutes before heading out and it's not too bad. As with a lot of things, it gets easier with time. Just try to be consistent.…
