exactly what carson said, this last winter i figured out i don't like anything under 27 degrees outside...how much do you think i was out there to figure it down to the degree? that's right, a whole lot!! treadmills suck, outside is the only way to go :tongue: though everyone has their own opinion i guess

well for what its worth i am signed up to do my first race of any kind ever on the 22nd (conquer the gauntlet) which is the same thing as tough mudder but shorter distance, 4miles- 30 obstacles and i'm not where i would like to be either but from what i hear (most) everyone helps everyone else out,it's more about teamwork…

i recently read a study that says your metabolism actually speeds up (slightly but still) during REM sleep, so aside from excercise times your body burns better than any other time while you are alseep making it better to eat late, i personally never used to eat after a certain time and for the past few months i have been…

you start wearing running shorts instead of boxers under your work clothes in case work isn't busy you can strip the work pants and go for a fast run before it gets busy. also keeping an extra set of workout clothes in the car even when you only wear workout clothes or workout clothes underneath work clothes....i honestly…

great, just great! now i want some real pancakes....or maybe i'll just go make some of my special "pumkin" french toast that sounds better. mine isn't imaginary though. sorry guys i'll be back in a bit hahaha

hehehe....you are in edmond, only about 15 minute drive from me, congrats, as the second person i have ever seen on MFP who lives anywhere in OK you win the prize of me taking your pancakes and you get none, it's good for your food log and i have extra calories to spare so it's a win-win here :tongue:

pretty sure you would get a very acurate picture of who i am by looking in my car, you would find it is neat and clean, medium sized trash can behind the driver seat fillied with almost nothing but cliff bar wrappers and water bottles, next to that on the floor is a spare set of work out clothes in a plastic bag and a…

i think you might be wrong on that :tongue: it seems (at least for me) that from my original dying from 1 mile at a time to 4 was harder than the 4 to 10 was. i have not hit over 10 at once yet but i have only been running a few months now. my advice is to keep adding just a bit at a time, i set mondays as my day to add a…

sep 22nd? :huh: you wouldn't happen to be going to the little rock "conquer the gauntlet" that I"M going to for my first ever race would you? :noway:

i could use some serious running friends too,anyone feel free to add me too :) OP i sent a friend request to you

i am "outdoorsy" in the way that i enjoy running outside around a trail or riding bikes around the lake or mountain trail or playing in the pool in the summer time, but i have never hunted and don't plan on it, have not fished since i was about 8 years old and have no interest in doing so again, and camping is ok a few…

hello twin hahaha.... H:6'1" happy with my weight of 170 (for now,though i do plan to raise LBM to about 185 eventually) SBF: 33+% CBF: 14-15% GBF:8%

hahaha, i tend to do the whole foot in mouth thing too but that is beyond anything i have ever accidently said and then thought about after, as a guy we tend to try to say things as soon as we think them before considering how they sound out loud, trying to make you feel better being the first thing on our mind before…

i would just like to add that i take in an average of 3300-3600 calories a day and don't remember the last time my carbs went below 400 in a day and all this does not put any weight on me, why? because i live an active lifestyle and get excercise, carbs are not any worse than anything else, stop the carb hatred!! can't we…

pretty much what everyone else is saying, long story short (in terms everyone understands) you have simple sugar complex sugar, and fiber - simple is any sugar you add to anything,and makes your levels spike and then shoot way down = bad for you - complex is found in fruit ect.... it's "natural" sugar and will keep your…

i am currently training for my first race of any kind, it's a new race called conquer the gauntlet, which is basically as far as i know, just like tough mudder but only 4 miles- 30 obstacles right now i run 4 miles 6 days a week-do insanity 6 days a week- and do a bootcamp 2 days a week- 1 day of rest a week, which falls…

so far going on 17 years of nightmares where most of the time i'm being stabbed or shot and can feel it like it is really happening, or at the very least i'm being chased by someone TRYING to stab or shoot me, i normally have 1-2 "dreams" a month, the rest are nightmares,been through counciling ( a few times) and tried…

i don't normally watch tv.......... BUT, the one thing i have to watch is Wilfred, love that show

anyone notice this person ^^^ on page 1 has 4,132 posts hahahaha.....but me, no, between work and my massive excercise routine (i hit 939 minutes last week) i'm not on here a whole lot other than to track food and excercise minutes, though i could see easily being addicted if i spent more free time on here instead of…

nice to see a few other 3k+ people here, i didn't know we had that many of us :noway: i am and have been eating everything all day long and somehow end up with around 3300 every day, not sure how it works out like that but every day last week i didn't care what calories i took in,i just ate and logged it, every day was…

<---- backpiece getting finished in december, have that one and 21 others so far :)

i told everyone as soon as i started, it helps with feeling guilty if you don't do something. if everyone knows you can't escape it wherever you go, at home i wake up and get asked "what are you doing today" then after i excercise i go to work and hear "what did you do today". if i go to hang out with friends they ask how…

i know for me personally i used to drink about 3 liters of mountain dew every day,made tea with 4 cups of sugar for a half gallon (yes, i'm serious,i measured when i made it) and ate fast food at least 3 times a day, most of the time more. and since december of 2011 i have not had any soda,no tea (with sugar,have had…

i was talking to my (ex) GF and a mutual friend at the same time and while me and my GF at the time were arguing back and forth (very heated conversation to begin with) i sent something to the mutual friend along the lines of "i can't stand this b*tch, sometimes i really wish she would just *kitten* OFF!!"......yep, sent…

ok i know this is too much info but when i excercise i wear basketball shorts (only basketball shorts) and while mountain biking early yesterday morning i had a cricket hop off the trail and straight up into the leg of my shorts, almost flew off the trail, what fun that was,but gnats are much worse,i actually stopped…

"your mind will quit 1,000 times before your body does" .....very true, it's amazing how much you can push yourself when you know the difference of your brain saying "too much" and your body saying it, don't listen to the brain hahaha

I don't currently ask because i'm not 100% sure i'm ready to put up with the bullsh*t involved in having a girlfriend, and yes, i am well aware this goes both ways here, i'm also not sure i am at a point where i'm ready to provide a bullsh*t free side of things for her, i might still have a thing or two i want to take care…

phoenix....hahaha, steve austin and bruce willis love child :P

with the afterburn effect taken into account it is said that if you can complete them in around 3 minutes it burns about 400-450 calories, so when i do them i figure in a flat 200 just to be safe (2 cal per rep) i figure if they say it does double that i should be ok.

it's called m-100's you probably won't complete them right off, it took me a few weeks but now that i've been doing them for a while i just made a record of 2m 55s recently, you can tell for sure it works, good luck :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bkD9LwDBWW0
