Sex with the lights on...

Running... I hate it. I don't care if its on a treadmill, elliptical or outside. It is the most mind numbing thing ever. Hurts my shins, and my mind checks out on me. I cant stand it. Id rather run a cheese grater across my testicles than run/jog.

I use Vanilla Silk in my coffee.

Absolute must when you are building muscle.

Ok... Heres the plan: going to meet a buddy of mine with his daughter at a Diner about 20 miles from here. They have a huge menu and the head chefs graduated from CIA in Paughkeepsie (my girlfriend works there) so I know the food is pretty good. Thanks for the help guys. Ill post up a picture of my Chili when we make it…

Im doing good! Glad to see you are back. Havent seen you on since you had trouble with your account. Add me as a friend ASAP.

You are right, on all accounts but I just dont have the time tonight. Tomorrow I will be grilling Pork Chops outside with them, and on Saturday we will be making turkey Chili together, just tonight is a tough one.

Rachel, Lifting to failure is a good thing, but you want to do it right so you don't get hurt. I have an old injury in my left shoulder where I can feel it separate if my form is off or I am lifting too heavy without a spot. Not a good feeling. Focus on form, heavy wights will come, just listen to your body.

BCAAS ROCK!

What she said ^

Asyago Roast Beef Sand... Not Low ca, but totally worth it.

Lower weight with better form and slower reps. Poor control = poor form caused by too much weight can make you injure yourself. When you are doing dumbbell presses, you are engaging a lot of small tissue and muscle fiber to balance the weight and keep it from going to far behind or in front of you... using too much weight…

Depends on the day, and what workout I am heading into: If its been a long rough one (i.e. 2 hour drive to and from client, or an early AM workout the day after a late Martial Arts session) I grab an N.O. Explode on my way in.

As a kid growing up i was called "Boy" Training days, i was called "Sado" by my Dojo Brothers and Sisters Today I am the STRESCO :wink:

I guess food can really be an addiction. :/ I wasnt hungry, I had already eaten my cal for the day, but I was going nuts :frown:

Cooking at home is MUCH cheaper than eating out, no matter what kind of food you order at the rest.

Its a choice you have to make for yourself. I travel constantly for work and when I am home I am swamped with catchup work and my kids. So i know what it is like to not have enough hours in a day. Try cooking large quantities, enough for 4 - 5 meals and freeze it. If you can do this 3 - 4 times a month, you will have…

Started my Mono-D for today... It is a lot like fasting. I only had 1 cup of grapes for breakfast and I am tired of them already. Its going to be a rough one today.

Not a stupid question... I guess i should have specified, 1600 cal is my CAP not the amount I am trying to intake daily. I try to keep under that number for total cals for the day. Anything under 1600, and Im good.

BAD BAD BAD! Avoid it like the plague!

Hmmm... Learning a lot from this one Topic. Not about training, dieting or goals, but still learning...

Ummm... No. I will not go over my calorie intake for the day. I am still going to keep it under 1600.

When my trainer told me to try it, that was one of the first foods I asked if I could have, unfortunately NO... :( No cheesecake, no Pernil, No M&Ms, No DQ Blizzards... nothing I would love to eat all day.

You've got a strange hobby :/

It is a type of fasting, but I will be eating, only I will be eating 1 type of food for the entire day. Tomorrow I will eat nothing but grapes and water for the entire day. Next week will be nothing but apples and so on.

I actually didn't get hungry the rest of the night. I was drinking water constantly, had a couple cups of coffee, and 1 diet soda. Got to bed at 9am, woke up at 2, checked out, grabbed another coffee and got on the road. I didn't eat my first meal until I was well on my way home at 5PM.

What is 40 feet long and smells like urine?? The Conga Line at a nursing home!

Three men who were lost in the forest were captured by cannibals. The cannibal king told the prisoners that they could live if they pass a trial. The first step of the trial was to go to the forest and get ten pieces of the same kind of fruit. So all three men went separate ways to gather fruits. The first one came back…

What's the difference between exotic and psychotic? Exotic is wearing a French tickler, psychotic is wearing French toast.
