Just thought I'd revisit to see how many more tomatoes were thrown (smile). Like I said, I now literally make my own sandwich and inhale it right before I pick him up for breakfast. I then order a fruit cup and only eat half of it because I can't stand grapefruit and I'm not going to bother asking them for a fruit cup…

I feel your pain. I used to be a gym rat, but LIFE happened, and I had to get a second job to support my aging father in an Assisted Living facility. It's SOOOO hard, but it CAN be done. The only thing that has worked for me is to MAKE myself go to the gym, and the only way I was able to do that was come in early to my…

Hitting the big 4-0 in August, and YES... weight tends to hang on to you once you reach a certain age. I wish I had my 25-year-old body again, but will keep the 40-year-old brain!!!

One More Thing... you might want to check out the Fit Men Cook website and/ or youtube channel. He offers some really great ways to add variety to the "bodybuilding" diet, and even has a section dedicated to microwave cooking -- AWESOME!!!

Hi there! Good advice already, here's my input (especially the cheap part) 1) BUY IN BULK! If you have a local warehouse store (like Sam's Club) stock up on eggs and boneless, skinless chicken breasts there. 2) If you have a discount store around (I LOVE Aldi), you can get eggs there for about $0.89 a dozen. 3) Look for…

Like others have said... just do it! It won't be nearly as bad as you think. I'm an introvert, so large crowds make me nervous and sometimes the smallest noises can "overstimulate" me. It helped me to create my own motivational play list for the gym. I can escape to my own musical world with a pair of ear buds. Also, I…

ooops... hit the wrong key. They charge me $1.75 PER REFILL for a cup of water, but I suck it up. I still get eye rolls for bringing in my own Stevia, but whatever. Yes, the time is precious, and I enjoy the time, but I felt whiny that day. There's nothing wrong with a whole egg or bacon or pancakes, but I'd rather blow my…

Wow, I just got back to these replies. Interesting perspective. Maybe I had a bad day when I wrote the post or it came of B****Y, but I never really took issue with the whole "enjoy this precious time while you can" aspect. Some respondents got that I am AT the diner to make him happy, and someone even picked up the…

Kale. Even hidden in smoothies, it seems to jump out of the mixture. Celery. The texture bothers me. Cottage Cheese - nope I can pretty much tolerate other "healthy" foods. I sure wish there was a way to make deep frying healthy ;) But for health sake... grilled, broiled and baked...oh my

I have been toying around with the idea of bodybuilding. I lift weights and love it (especially the results), and I get asked if I'm a bodybuilder all the time. I prefer to call myself a lean mass builder. Currently, I would like to cut some fat and prep my mind for a bulk (had an epic fail on my first attempt. The scale…

Thanks SOOOO much for that. My TDEE according to my calculations is 2,145 calories based on my activity level, and I am bulking at about 10% more than that (I'm afraid to do more at this point). I average about 2,300 calories a day and try to keep it clean. I do have a power rack at the gym, and I think I am going to get…
