5/30: 10 miles 5/31: 7 miles Total to date: 32.25 miles

... I didn't realize swinging by the grocery store after a good workout on my way home from the gym was against the law.

OK, so I forgot to report yesterday ... 5/28: 3.25 miles 5/29: 12.0 miles Total so far: 15.25 miles

In. Anybody bring popcorn?!

:love: Bacon :love:

Against. The mom made a very poor call in judgement and the child paid with his life.

Bumping for future reference

This is fast becoming a "muscle vs fat weight" thread. Need a gif ... STAT !!

Between 6-8 hours everyday. Unfortunately, it's not uninterrupted sleep. I find myself tossing and turning ALL.NITE.LONG. If we are talking QUALITY of sleep, it's more like 2-3 hours.

My 4 y/o son does ... Gangnam Style. :grumble: :explode:

Mine is open to friends. Feel free to add me if you want to creep. I used to have lots of shakes, as I try to hit my 30% protein goal. I have decided to "eat" my protein, rather than "drink" it as of about 6 weeks ago. I notice that by eating my protein, I stay and feel full longer. The shakes did nothing for me in terms…

Sore = normal Pain = not normal

:laugh: Your post had me checking to see if I had one! :laugh:

I am doing StrongLifts, and OHP's are the bane of my existence. :grumble: :explode:

WTF?! :noway: :noway: :noway:

Your macro percentages are fine, BUT, make hitting you protein goals a priority, and then "fill in" with carbs and fat to finish out your macros. More protein will keep you full longer.

If you need a breakdown of the actual workout themselves, it should look something like this: WORKOUT A A: squat. 1 of 2 sets A: squat. 2 of 2 sets B1: push-up. 1 of 2 sets B2: seated row. 1 of 2 sets B1: push-up. 2 of 2 sets B2: seated row. 2 of 2 sets C1: step-up. 1 of 2 sets C2: prone jack knife. 1 of 2 sets C1:…

In stage 1, you will be doing a total of 16 workouts, broken down into 2 groups: A and B If you are doing it 3x per week, it should look something like this: MON: workout A WED: workout B FRI: workout A SAT and SUN: rest The next week... MON: workout B WED: workout A FRI: workout B SAT and SUN: rest Rinse and repeat for…

If 227g is equal to (roughly) 230 calories, you are looking at (about) 1 calorie per gram. If you use a food scale (highly recommend) this would make your life much easier!

I'm left handed!! ... and right ... Would this mean that if you added me for my left handedness, you'd have to turn around and delete me because I am right handed as well? Man, being ambidextrous SUX !!

I just wanted to drop in to say to everyone who posted progress pics, that you guys rock!! Those are some incredible transformations and you all should be very proud of your accomplishments!

Hubby has been doing StrongLifts with me, but since he travels quite a bit, I often end up having to do the workouts by myself. I have found the power cage to be my best friend for those times he is not available to spot me. That being said, if I ever needed someone to spot me (when hubby is not available) I would not…

I don't run, but do quite a bit of walking on my non-lift days. I have a very high arch and need support for them when I am on my feet a lot. I got fitted for a pair of Brooks walking shoes, and it did wonders for me! I also use them to weight lift in and have had no problems.

Agreed with all of the above. Unless you have manly amounts of testosterone AND use steroids, you won't look bulky or manly. I do compound lifts 3x per week. Feel free to add for motivation.

Put it away and "snack" on it when you are hungry. If by the end of the day you haven't finished it, then toss it (or store it for the next day) and log what you DID eat.

Pics or it didn't happen.

I don't have a helpful answer for you ... but ... I used to wonder the same thing! Then I realized I loved lifting so much that I craved it. Wanted it. Needed it. I even get grumpy without it, so if I ever got to the point where it has recomped my body to just what I wanted, I think I would still continue to push to see…

I do this all the time. Sometimes, days ahead. It gives me a good foundation for what I can eat for the day, and I go back and change it if my day did not go as intended. I consider this good planning. Plus, everything goes to he!! when I don't plan ahead.
