I had always thought BB was only for women until my GF borrowed the insanity dvd from a friend, then asked me to workout with her. It was intense. Best part is you can do your own best because there is no way to keep up with ShaunT. GF has since purchased her own BB workouts and loves them.

Hi how is everyone doing? My resistance needs to come back.it was lost in February and March.

Same found here. Very frustrating. Using another source to track weight training specificlly is much easier than trying to create your own in here. There needs to be a redesign in MFP.

We had a trip planned for way over two years to go with family to Hawaii, a few weeks ago(which of course was cancelled). The whole mind screw of not being able to go spiraled my GF and I into not caring about our workouts. I know if we had still been on track for our vacation we would be looking and feeling great right…

Good to know I am not cheating on my squats either. Good information.

Yea, agreed, keep on the weights. Muscle burns fat dude. Best of luck

That is hysterical !

@Lilylady3k you are right, she normally does not drink much. Certainly not daily. It was one of those moments we both got caught up in. We had planned to be in Hawaii last week. Our plans were canceled and money refunded when covid numbers went up this past Fall. We were both feeling defeated and sad when our original…

Recover Saturday for me today. I'm not sure how drinking went out of control last night for both my GF and I. We both got a little comfortable with receiving a bottle of rum as a gift yesterday. Next thing we knew it was half gone and so were we. Been a while that my head has pounded this hard. A grim reminder.

Thank you

What is a macro?

Nice work hanging in for a month.

@missmay where are you going that you can no longer be our thread representative? 😢 this saddens me. It may cause me to drink.

Yes I am, oddly more so mentally than physically. My drinking pals from the past aren't given me flak in the least.

This week 2 dry days. 10 beers total for the other 5 days. Wanna say thanks to all those who write on here. It helps immensely.

Crazy busy on here trying to catch up with posts. Doing much better since my weekend booze crash. I am back to only drinking 2 beers on my drink days. Squeezed in two AF days already this week. I hated that feeling of let down to myself after my head switched off my brain and let my mouth keep sucking down those way to…

Saturday I slipped on the alcohol banana peel and slid backwards. We went away to friends house for an early valentine dinner becaue neither couple was available Sunday night. There was champagne. Lots of champagne. I think I drank an entire bottle myself. Because we were spending the night I let my gaurd down. Then over…

@chocolate_owl you should not feel guilty in the least. There aren't two people in here with the same exact goals for cutting back. It is not how many AF days you aquire or chalk up consecutively. Its each persons own path, own rate of drinking less by days or glasses. Must be hard to have surgery pain and want to not…

I have kind of an AF patteren going on now- Sunday 2 beers Monday AF Tuesday 2 beers Wednesday planning AF Did some one ask for chili sauce recipe?? LOL yes it is Coney Island style Ingredients 1 ½ pounds lean ground beef 2 cups water ½ cup diced onion ⅓ cup ketchup 2 tablespoons butter 2 cloves garlic, crushed 2…

@chocolate_owl I was lost reading the first paragraph. 🤣😂

@Womona how did you know I was Paisley fan? That's one of my favorite songs. Update: I had a heart to heart with my Sister about my new direction with drinking. I'm trying to reassure her that we do not have to follow down our Mom's drinking road. She had been wanting to cut back also and our talk put her in a better frame…

In my mind I workout everyday. In reality I workout 3-4 lately. Only because I like to rest my muscles 24 hours between lifting.

YES I ABUSED ALCOHOL ( alcoholic?, AUD?, over indulger?, drunk?) what ever lable they are giving it now I needed to read this sentence. It is true. Everyone processes alcohol in different ways. So no matter what they (the health care professionals) are calling it. If you dont like some thing that alcohol does to you and…

Thank you @chocolate_owl @Lilylady3k @Fit_Happens_2021 @MissMay all of your comments are taken to heart. It does seem like a long run at getting to this point. It could have happened quicker IF I had put more thought sooner into cutting back. No beer last night. And because we kept busier than normal at that time it was…

Epiphany after I wrote in here yesterday. My GF and I sat down and looked hard at the heavy drinker poster I came across. I dont want to be considered a HEAVY drinker. If 15 is the beginning of that I need to be at least at 7 or less for the week. Not going to lie, this sucks big time. I have to do it though. Between the…

I should probably stop surfing the internet about drinking less. This is messing with my mind. That statistic above is referring to PER WEEK. At first I thought it was per day. Dam(n)

Couple years ago I waa purchasing a 30 pk of beer to have on hand. Never kept track of how many cans I was drinking a night. I mainly bought it because it was cheaper by that size. Then I did start to notice clothes getting snug, I signed up in MFP to bulk up to shed fat, because muscle burns fat. At my height, 5'7" even…

Room for one more? I was thinking hey maybe I got this, now that I had my ONE AF day last month. And I should move on since I zoomed through the holidays almost embarrassment free and cut out buying everyday nips. Then I followed this link here to see most of you and some new people going at it strong again. Guess it can't…

Sorry started to post on wrong forum.😞

A small suggestion, if you have a large exercise ball you can do many ab exercises on there. I don't personally use one, but my girlfriend had a tailbone issue and her PT suggested the ball. She has had no pain since using it. (Dont try lifting both of you legs at once, she rolled right off.) Good luck
