I work 3rds, 11pm-7am, with earlier start times for OT. I love it actually :) Get home at 7:30, workout at 8, recovery shake. Shower and breakfast. Then I typically try to sleep from 12-7 or so. Been on 10's for most of the last 6 months. I either prep a few days dinners in advance or get up earlier to cook before work. I…

30ish?

Flex Fitness looks like exactly what I want in a gym! Thanks for the tip, I'd never heard of them before. Leaves me with 8 weeks to find a spotter.

Sounds delicious!

I used to hate running. With a passion. I'm now in love with running (even though its icy and dangerous in Michigan during winter) and try to get out here and there. Weather permitting. I eased into it from being sedentary, walking to faster walking/longer walking. Then began intervals, run for 30 secs, walk 30, run for…

I weigh now less than I did when I turned 16. And I am in 10x better shape. But I've never been "thin" and never will be "thin". No matter what my bones aren't going to get smaller, my shoulders won't get narrow, and I'm not willing to let muscles atrophy for the scale. I'm gonna look great, and I'm going to hit my goal.…

Pound out the chicken breast with a kitchen mallet (or something similar) on a cutting board. Cover both sides in wax paper. Get it nice and flat, 1/2 inch or so. then fry it in a skillet with olive oil / canola oil. Doesn't take much oil. I like to season it with garlic/pepper/italian seasoning or curry powder, cayenne…

Hey, I'm living around Holland/Zeeland area.

I jog around town / at state or county parks if I feel like driving out there. Treadmill for rainy days and too much ice. I've been looking for a gym in the area that's set up for power lifting if anyone knows one. For now, I'm just going to give Insanity another 9 weeks of my life and go from there.

I'm Nick - Zeeland area.

I live around Zeeland. (Between Grand Rapids and Lake Michigan)

Sounds like a great way to spend my birthday! I'd be game.

I drink my coffee black most of the time. Sometimes I add cinnamon (delicious) Creamer is reserved for treats / holidays lately.

I run (in snow) with UA Cold Weather pants / shirt + t-shirt, running shirt and depending on how cold, a turtle neck. Cotton gloves Neckwarmer and wool hat as well. Plenty warm for a 10 mile run if the wind isn't too bad. The UA pants/shirt were $50 each though, so may or may not fit your current needs.

I work 3rd's in a factory. Enjoying my night off this week chatting on Skype and watching Netflix. Also making venison jerky at the moment and a batch of cookies before bed :D Love being awake for meteor showers!

Sadly right now my goal weight is whatever the military wants me to weigh. Which is based entirely on BMI and not body composition at this point in time(bummer since I'm naturally muscular) May not be a realistic goal for me but we'll see how close we can get.

When I began, about a quarter mile. (This past summer) Now I run 5 miles daily, sometimes when I have the time (like today) I'll do 10 or so just to prove to myself how far I've come.

Willpower. Train it like a muscle. Though working 3rd shift means I can workout with the sunrise with no inconvenience.

5 mile run!

One step at a time. It will be rough at the beginning, but don't give up. Nobody said it would be easy. Persevere.

3-10 miles a day. 5-7 days a week depending on how things go. 25-30 miles a week probably.

I am unrecognizable at 50 lbs lost. At only 64 inches tall and 190 lbs I'm leaner than I've been in almost a decade. It's fun :)

It was rough in the beginning. After about 2 weeks the first month workouts became easy. Then month 2 set a whole new threshold for workout intensity. And about 2 weeks into that the days weren't nearly as rough. Keep on trucking! Great workout!

30 pack of beer, bottle of Vodka (green apple smirnoff mixing with squirt). Beer pong and a bonfire. I advise against drinking a dozen beers then most of a bottle of vodka in 3 mixed drinks. Oh to be young(stupid).

I drink lots of black / green tea on a daily basis. some days nearly 10 cups I would imagine. If I do sweeten I use Honey. And one of my favorites is Sleepytime / Nighty Night tea before bed. As for particular flavors of tea? I'm a fan of green tea w/ lemon. Adventurous, I know.

1. Quit Swearing That should be enough work... Been cursing like a sailor for over a decade.

15 more by Xmas, but I don't want to miss out on Thanksgiving food. I have 1 week of Insanity left and then going back to Mid Distance running and picking up the free weights.
