ferrarri? think pretty highly of yourself, dontcha??

bundle them up!! my toddler loves being outside, and nothing gets her more tired than playing in the cold air!!

there is no optimal time to exercise, but some will say that exercising early in the morning while you are still in a fasted state will increase a production of leptin hormone which in turn actually makes you LESS hungry... but if you stay in a calorie deficit too long that can get your hormones out of whack... it's a lot…

i've been training for about four years and i'll let you know when it happens to me. i'm kidding... slightly. we all go through phases where working out and eating right kinda sucks, and you'd just rather sit on the couch and Netflix and Pizza. but soon enough you're going to love the exercising. it'll take a while, and…

idk, i've actually seen your penis... it's impressive.

a gym membership is worth it if you go. you going to the gym is determined on a lot of things though. what are you interested in? lots of cardio equipment? a pool? weights? classes? if classes, are they at the times you'll be able to make it? is it close to home, or close to work? does it have good hours for you? many gyms…

the secret isn't waking up earlier. it's going to bed earlier. and that generally involves avoiding caffeine, heavy foods, and alcohol before bed so you can sleep comfortably. i also suggest turning off or avoiding electronics so you can fall asleep quicker and easier.

crack of dawn? why so late?

triathlete and runner here. my best advice is to sign up for a race. that gives you the biggest amount of motivation to get the work in.

don't you tell me how to pizza

check out budgetbytes.com

personally, i like to sign up for races. they give me a goal to strive for that is performance based, not based on looks.

who cares?? it's delicious. for the record, i log a plain slice of pizza at 230 cals.

having a crappy day and needing a break is fine and normal. but honestly, to be expected to have a high level of motivation consistently is unreasonable. sometimes you just have to get out there, turn on auto-pilot and do the movements.

thats a good thread ;)

i was in the best shape of my life in college. granted, i was on one sport every semester so between practice and my own workouts, i was pretty active. but i had to do my part in avoiding the buffet-style cafeteria. and as an engineering student, i usually took about 18 credits a semester, which translates to about 72…

i freaking died

i have a shirt that says almost exactly this. if you are reading any condescending attitude, it's probably because you relate to it.

i'm starting my fifth season as a triathlete. running sucks for me too. i've done a bunch of sprints and olympics, and one 70.3.

i have had similar questions, for the same reasons. Yes, log them. also, pick up the book "Racing Weight."

get a scale, and most importantly, get a food scale.

stop working on your abs every day or it will produce the exact opposite results you want.

you can speed up by 20 seconds per mile for every ten pounds you lose. i dropped about about 20 pounds, and took nearly ten minutes off my best half marathon time.

the ones that fit.

i don't know a lot of 27 year olds looking to run 1.5 miles under 9:30 minutes. and it always seems to be with just a month to go.

Navy PRT coming up??

lmao.

you go in and you say "this is my budget." also, you can ask if they have any discounts on last years models, which they might have because they're looking to get rid of them as the new bikes will be coming out shortly.
