I'm a bit of an odd duck, but... I train hill sprints and HIITS with music (good hard stuff that make yer blood boil), and I train long runs (anything 8 miles or over) with audiobooks. However, when it comes to race day, I *always* listen to music.

I was raised as Catholic, but cam to Atheism on my own. God makes as much sense to me as Santa Claus. When I met my wife 15 years ago she 'converted' me to Agnosticism. Her logic was without fault, which is why I love her. "Belief in God requires just as much faith as belief in 'no God', If you value logic above all else…

If this works you will be my new favorite person!

Mimes are ebil!

"literally". As in, "My head literally exploded!", or "I'm literally on fire it's so hot in here!". It makes me want to punch people in the face. literally.

I have a nine inch tongue and I can breath through my ears...

When my first daughter was born my wife got her maternity leave, and I got two weeks paternity leave. It definitely eased the burden, as she had some complications and was able to get more bed rest with me available 24/7 for those weeks. I did not get the same option when my second daughter was born as I had moved to a…

#1 and Pizza. The best part is I can totally put *ANYTHING* on a pizza. Bacon, Cheeseburger, Tuna, heck even chocolate cake! I am going to make this sucker work for me! ;)

I started running at 256 pounds and was thoroughly ashamed of myself. Then I read a really great quote that went something like this "no matter how slow you go, you're still lapping everyone on the couch". I gradually got smaller and faster, and you will too! Rock it!

Awesome NSV, good on ya! :)

I don't (currently) go to school, but in my field night classes tend to become necessary fairly often. I do have 2 kids and a full time job though, so I know something about a tight schedule. If you want it to be a priority you just have to make it one. I get up at 5:30 every morning to get my exercise in before my wife…

As someone who runs 35 miles a week, bikes 40, and lifts weights 3 days a week... I would *DIE* without carbs.

My thighs are roughly the size of a sapling. Relaxed fit jeans are the only way to go for me.

I don't know any science that supports one way or the other, I think it boils down to personal preference. I *cannot* eat anything solid in the morning, I haven't been able to since I was a little kid. I roll out of bed at 5:30, do my exercise routine, and have a protein shake afterwards. The first solid food I eat is at…

This is pretty much exactly what happens to me too. I can't explain it in any way, but it appears to be the normal way that weight loss and getting fitter works.

They seem to do it on "the biggest loser" with some regularity. Those folks start near the 400 pound mark though, and are on strict diets, amazingly tough workout programs, and monitored by doctors 24/7, and I'm not so sure even *that* is safe!

About half of mine are black, but they aren't painted. I just run them off! lol

I love to run, I have to *force* myself to lift weights every time.

100 calorie pack of popcorn will usually suffice for an hour or so for me.

I start my day with a cup of caffeinated coffee (black), and then spend the rest of the day alternating between water and decaffeinated coffee (black).

Wrapped in foil, baked in the oven for about 45 minutes, with nothing on 'em.

A supermodel. What?

"The Champ" and "Chariots of Fire"

My OCD has done nothing but help my weight loss. It makes it very easy to track everything, pack lunches the night before, and a thousand other things that turn my neurosis into lots of little good habits. :) Good luck, you can do it!

Black n' Yellow for life. Go B's!

I wouldn't be an alcoholic

Fantastic! Keep up the great work! :)
