all my water intake is at room temperature. try it, it really helps.

awesome work eikito. can't write...gotta jump on my elliptical!

just got over a sinus infection. have had them before and knew that in three days i would feel 85% better. so i took the three days off. watched what i ate carefully for those three days. on day four, i planned on doing my normal elliptical workout but wasn't able to make the whole time. got about 3/4 done. on day 5 i…

i take a hot yoga class. and it burns a ton of calories for me, according to my hrm. however, the reason i started to go was for stress relief. and it worked. and continues to work. having been going for a few months now, i continue to go as it strengthens my core, improves my balance and stretches some seldom used muscles…

at this point we are in a stop over in nashville, tennessee. bet we would burn a lot of calories walking around listening to all the great music!

way to go eikito! trying to hang with the boys is impressive. everyone is doing great! and all the reporting i going smooth. as long as i don't lose my spread sheet! everyone keep up the good work!

check out the above link...we jumped out to a nice early lead!

here is the link to track our progress...our logo is a snow flake. https://maps.google.co.uk/maps/ms?msid=204655860575059420912.0004cf57b94bacff8481c&msa=0&ll=69.839622,-22.851562&spn=38.782848,158.027344&iwloc=0004cf57c40ab34a107bb

sweet start, hyper! i logged another 500 after deciding to do 30 minutes "elliptical" instead of 30 minutes "butt sitting watching tv" our total so far is 4960 calories. still waiting to hear from 2 teammates. great job everyone. i think we are off to an awesome start!

that's a great start for us. im adding my 1160 to it, and hoping to add some more with another cardio or weight session, maybe both. great start!

working on my team...

eat a banana. then eat another one.

what will i do when i reach my goal? work my *kitten* off to maintain it!

santa is bringing the marshmallow shooter guns...one for him, one for me. mrs claus doesn't know about this one yet...

my 8 year old son loves nerf guns. i love them too. we have had some fun battles with them. in fact, maybe that is how i will wake him up tomorrow...

buffalo wild wings.

winner, winner, chicken dinner! game over.

i didn't start with a goal weight. i figured at some point i would think i was done losing and switch to maintaining. there have been a few times where i thought i was about 5 pounds away and would tell myself, ok, lose this five pounds then switch modes. but those 5 pounds have been lost, still felt like i should lose…

have had 13 knee surgeries with some plastic and metal screwed and cemented in there. running is out of the question for me. love my elliptical. great workout as long as you push yourself. doesn't hurt my knees one bit. not sure whats so unnatural about the movement...

signed up for a gym twice. never went either time. too much to do and a thousand and one other excuses. purchased a second hand treadmill off a neighbor who was moving for 100 bucks. it's in my garage. use it maybe once or twice a week. also purchased a second hand elliptical off craigslist. paid about 400 for it. it is my…

buy him a dictionary, so he could learn the difference between grammar and spelling, and know how to spell both properly.

dance.

wow, pretty entertaining thread. don't really have anything to add to it, other than to each his own. from what i've read, seems like someone is looking for useful advice, as we all have. i say useful b/c saying he doesn't have room for barbells will alter the advice given. and for someone to offer the advice of, "buy a…

sounds to me that the biggest adjustment will be the heated room, unless hatha yoga is in a heated room too, which i'm not sure. being new to the hot yoga practice, and attending only 6 or 7 sessions so far, i can tell you it takes multiple sessions to adjust to the heat. and while i thought i got a lot out of the first…

i think i get more sore than most people too. just tried an epsom salt bath the other day. felt great. seriously considered calling in sick to work b/c every part of me hurt after a way too hard bike ride on a trail. took the bath and felt better immediately. it was based on advice i have read here. i also read on here…

haven't done it, but remember reading about some nfl teams (the eagles? maybe?) that have implemented it.

use the search feature on here. there is a lot to read. and google too. even youtube. today i watched a 15 minute clip of the obstacles of tough mudder. good luck.
