I think I ate around 6300 calories today. Well worth it. New Years in a week whoooooo.

I went over calories when I woke up lmao. Doesn't matter its X-Mas time.

I always log. More of a habit now. Doesn't really bother me since its a holiday and why not.

Got a couple new pairs of gym shorts. Also I got a new backpack to throw a towel and swimming trunks in since my drawstring bag was too small for that.

I don't believe thats true. If your lifting heavy and always trying to add more weight then you can keep on doing the same routine. I've 5-3-1 for 2 years now and still see numbers going up.

Gym was closed on X-mas =*( I went for a walk though. 2 hours of fun in the 20 degree weather. Though I got to break in my new Sony MDR-1R headphones.

Thankfully I can go at non-crowded hours generally 1pm to 4pm is kinda light on weekdays and 6pm to 8pm on weekends is dead. Though I can do arms at home so really I just need to go for back, chest, legs. Back and chest will be a pain though I can stack up on Carbs before going to last long enough. NO ONE DOES LEGS SO I…

Long as it doesn't affect me directly getting my workout done then who cares tbh. Some people like to talk to a trainer while working out. Whatever works for them then go for it. Atleast the person is trying. I see people all the time saying oh that person should do this or that instead of being overweight. Then they do…

Fitness, looks only help you for so long till your skin and body breakdown. Fitness keeps muscle & bone health in better shape down the road. Rather be active 50 years down the road then being skinny now and being broken down in 30-40 years.

Don't see why not. Who cares if you go over on calories its a holiday. You should log anyways and show good discipline. If not you'll just refuse to log any day you go over and then forget to log in general.

I clean my plate every day when I eat.

You have to cut down on body fat %. Basically lose more weight or replace weight from body fat with muscle.

I had a Cinnabon today. If your going to do it do it right.

I always comment on what people eat. Shows I actually bother to care in a world with lazy "like" buttons.

Starbucks and I don't drink coffee......

Im going to throw in a wild card. Grapeseed Oil I use it for cooking all the time. Has a high smoke temp and doesn't taste overpowering like Olive oil.

To be honest invest in a set of free weights and wait for February when all the Resolutioners start to thin out to get serious sets in when more space opens up. The gym I goto which is pretty jammed between 5-8 all year its a mad house at new years though its a big box gym so I know to expect that. Nothing like having to…

Depends if I'm not doing a 5/2 calorie cycle. I'd go heavy 1 day and light 1 day. First of the month is always a 1 rep max. If I'm on a calorie cycle I do them 1 time a week since I'm stuck doing them on leg day since the other high calorie day is for Chest.

Body Pump is more cardio then lifting. I don't know why people try to reinvent getting muscle so much. Bench Squats Deadlifts Overhead Press Lat Pulldowns Now that would be a real "body pump".

You lose weight simply by having a 3500 calorie deficit to burn a pound. Cardio helps you build that deficit which make losing weight easier since you have more a choice on what you can eat. Also its good for your heart. Now get on that treadmill.

It depends on the level your lifting at. Are you lifting extremely heavy and isolating major muscle groups or do a lighter weight circuit for a couple days a week. Also it depends on your heart rate like your keeping it at fast intervals or resting 1-2 minutes between sets. I'd just use the weight training in the Cardio…

Order was $17 then just give the person $20 and don't worry about getting change back.

I dropped 110lb's a while back. Just some random advice while I'm trying to tire myself before bed. - Set to 2lb's a week. - Drink alot of water. Thats your new favorite drink - Exercise is always welcomed 30-60 minutes a day - Going over on protein is perfectly fine. MFP default is pretty low tbh. - Going over on Carbs…

Green tea is good to start.

I'll drink my my full sugar fizzy water. Atleast I know I'll bounce off the walls for 20 minutes before having a sad crash back into the world.

Generally after you exercise your body is running low on Carbs. I'd suggest throw some carbs in you after your done working out. Normally Iet 50% of my daily carbs 90 to 120 minutes before I goto the gym. Normally its a split from breakfast/lunch since I go in the afternoon. Then I'll have 20% of my daily carbs afterwards…

Never really cared what gym other people joined. I only joined a gym with everything I needed. Power cage, Squat Racks, Pool, Suana, Hot Tub, and a Chain thats in area's where I do travel.

Nice thick slick of a whole grain bread, standard salted butter, Fresh Mozzarella, 1-2 slices of pepperoni from the deli.

I use them when I use the Pool / Hot Tub. Thats really it I just don't want my beloved car to small like chlorine. Generally I have flip flops and bag for soaps and such.
