You'd be surprised at just how mental running is. When I trained for my 1st 5k in years, I couldn't complete the training runs at all. Yet, when I got to the race, adrenaline took over and I completed the race without stopping once. Keep training and don't worry about it. You'll do fine! Your doctor says it is ok for you…

Eye Of The Tiger...by Survivor...I'm old. Sue me.

Quest Bars...Low carb, low sugar, high fiber. Often high in protein (20g) and the protein is whey protein.

You said it right here...cut all this stuff out plus no more HFCS(high frutose corn syrup)..."He eats a lot of fried food, candy,chips and sugary drinks". He needs to learn to read labels and talk to his doctor first before starting a cardio and weight training program. He does all that, he'll do fine. It worked for me.

I am doing 3x/week of 9-12 full-body compound exercises. The rest of the days I do cardio at the gym. I take 1 day off per week. I found trying to come up with ways to work different body parts like "back and bi's" difficult and I'd lose interest. I can at least stay focused now.

Two things..First and foremost, be careful. Second thing, his version of the story probably starts off something like "Dear Penthouse Forum...."

Just limit your cholesterol to between 200mg and 300mg per day and you'll be fine.

I've started using fitocracy too. I like how it keeps a history which is something I was looking for. The interface is a bit odd but once you figure it out, it's workable but it is almost to the point of being buggy.

Same trouble with me...strained my left hip flexor doing deadlifts...Still too sore to try anything thou ibuprofen is helping. I did find this on Youtube...Good luck http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jg3y96ijATw&feature=player_detailpage

Skip crunches...try planks instead.

Your diary is not viewable so I don't know what you have it set to but the American Heart Association states to intake less than 1,500 mg of sodium per day. I go over mine too but I don't sweat it(no pun intended). It hasn't hurt my weight loss any. Just watch the kinds of foods you eat and you should be fine. I think…

If portion size isn't a factor, why do people have kitchen scales and weight their food?

Soylent Green anyone?

I may be late to the party, but sign me up !

I'm not in the usual habit of chowing down on my fish oil capsule and ground flaxseed I sprinkle on top of my cereal or mix with my eggs. Salmon tastes great too so I don't see the issue?

I have to admit, whenever I go I cheat on my diary. I just log the boneless wings. If I increase my frequency of going there, the next call I will make is to a Cardiologist.

I'll look into Endomondo but I wasn't jazzed about Jefit. I didn't like the whole counting thing. I just want something that lists my workout and I can change the reps/sets and weights as I go and it keeps a record of it.

It unfortunately is our "go to" place with the crew from work whenever we can't pick a place or we are in a hurry. I cringe when I fill in my diary for the day we go. Even the Lemonade has Sodium in it. On the positive side, 12 boneless have 44g of protein...that's good...right?

I had this problem when I play men's league hockey. Games were at 11PM or later. I could never sleep when I got home. With some people, late night strenuous exercise doesn't work. You'd think it would tire you out and make you sleepy but sometimes it doesn't.

Finally some sense in all this "sugar madness" Good info !

Agree with what allot of folks on here say about running outside. My mind wanders when I run on the treadmill. What I did to shake it up on the treadmill was do what i call a "30/30 for 30".....30 second walk, 30 second run for 30 minutes. It helps keep my mind from wandering. I haven't done it in a while but give it a…

I liked Greek yogurt too until I saw how much sugar was in it. By my count, Chobani has 20g per container. Ouch. I'm going with Dannon LIght & Fit now...7g of sugar per container. Here is blueberry; Chobani http://www.myfitnesspal.com/food/calories/yogurt-chobani-yogurt-greek-yogurt-blueberry-non-fat-62734005 Dannon Light…

I was at the Chicago Stadium in '92 when they beat the Hawks. I told a buddy of mine I was leaving after the second period of Game 4. He grabbed my arm and said "why, you may never see this again". He meant the Hawks playing for the Cup and/or winning it. He was wrong, thankfully but I did stay.

There is one in every crowd.....

Another Chicagoan, lost in Chicagoland......

Anyone(was going to say just the gals but realize men are guilty of this) wearing too much perfume/cologne at the health club. Really? Is your BO that bad that you have to bathe in Old Spice or Curve! before you get on the treadmill next to me? It's a health club, people get sweaty. Deal !

LOL @ Make Beleafs....The Chicago Cubs of the National Hockey League.

Ovie is overrated! :)

Next year the Avs will be in the "DIvision Champion Chicago Blackhawks" Division
