I landscape and still find the need to go to the gym 5-6 times a week. Landscaping is a very physical job, but I need different kinds of workouts to see real results. I have a weekly workout routine (5 days/week scheduled) outside of my normal job.

How do you log insanity?

I just started. My gym has it 3 days a week

Read my next one. I said that I stopped going out to eat as well. And yes, started working out more.

True, I never buy soda for home. I only drink it when I'm out to eat. I stopped going out to eat as often, and stopped drinking it completely

I think cutting soda out completely is the best option to lose/maintain weight. I have nothing scientific to back that up, but personally lost fat and gained muscle when I stopped drinking any sort of soda.

About 9 months ago. I'm in about the same shape. Maybe a little better

I go to the gym at about 3 in the morning. During the winter, I plow snow so I'm on those hours. I usually eat a little something first (toast and peanut butter) then 2 eggs afterward.

If you have the app on your phone, you can scan the barcode. I've been doing that to get accurate counts.

I cut it out completely. Last time I had one, I couldn't finish it. I never used to notice how sugary they are. After drinking only water for a few months, it tasted terrible

I'm around the same height, and weigh 205. 800 is way too low. I eat between 1700 and 2000 per day and lost nearly 40 pounds in the last year. You may drop weight quickly eating 800, but it won't be healthy.

Thanks! I'll give that a shot

I'm right with ya there. And have been for a few months

Exactly what I do. If I'm in a hurry, I throw it on a piece of toast and eat it in the car

Also, please refrain from criticizing people's motivation. Everybody has their own reasons for getting in shape. This is a site to encourage each other

Who said it's the only reason to get in shape? I go with friends and have a good time. It's a mini-vacation.

I'm doing the Spartan Race. Wish I could do both but this is the closest Mudder-esque event and it's still 4 hours away

Same here! And I put on 10 pounds when I wasn't using it. I hope we can all stick to it this time around

Tobasco and Tuna. It's my post workout.

I recently quit smoking. The addiction goes away. I have absolutely no cravings for cigarettes anymore. I ate sunflower seeds constantly when I was quitting. Keeps your mouth busy and tricks your mind into thinking you're eating.

I live in Bozeman as well. From Minnesota, and don't see myself moving anytime soon

Yep. That's what I go by as well. A small amount of carbs before then protein within half an hour

After a workout, I go with a can of tuna with a splash of tobasco. I get the costco cans of tuna, which are larger than your average can. They have 180 calories and 45 grams of protein

My post workout is a can of tuna with a splash of tobasco. It's cheap and I get the costco tuna which has 45 grams of protein with 180 calories. An inexpensive, healthy go-to meal I enjoy is a baked chicken breast with steamed broccoli. The broccoli is easy, just steam it for 5ish minutes then add salt/pepper. The chicken…

I go to pandora. They have various workout stations, which I love because some days rap will pump me up, then only country will get to me the next day.

I used to eat when bored as well. I hate to say it, but I smoke half a cigarillo (never thought I'd be a smoker) or have a handful or 2 of sunflower seeds and some water when I'm craving food. I've lost 20 lbs in the past 2 months.

I'm from Woodbury but now live in Bozeman, Montana. If you like hiking, I would recommend taking a trip out to Montana. It's a great workout and you see some beautiful places.
