I have a heavy bag in my garage and downloaded Bas Rutten's boxing and mma workouts. They are pretty decent.

http://honest-food.net/wild-game/venison-recipes/ I've made this guy's meat pies. Really good recipe but I'd say cut back on the garlic, oregano, parsley and onion by 1/2.

The biggest point in the book that made it easy for me to quit was recognizing the fact that I am not giving up anything. I am freeing myself from a nicotene addiction that is killing me. Read it with an open mind. I found it tough not to be cynical at first but then opened myself up to it and let myself be more or less…

I am 2 months into life as a nonsmoker. Someone posted this in a similar quitting smoking thread. It made it very easy for me. http://media.wix.com/ugd/74fa87_2010cc5496521431188f905b7234a829.pdf

Yuuupp! At least weekly. Also, chickenburgers are big fat phonies. It's gotta be homemade - beef, pork and cut up bacon mix for the patties.

Last night I made: 1/4 cup raw oats 1/4 cup cottage cheese 1/2 cup egg white 1/2 scoop protein powder Throw in the blender and bam! They turned out really well.

I don't cheat. I just make what I want to eat fit in my daily caloric allowance while trying to hit my macro requirements.

My wife made a cold "salad" that was really good. Quinoa, cucumber, tomato, mint leaves, goat cheese and cubed chicken breast with a balsamic drizzle.

It's tough but you can do it. I had to cut weight for a fight about 6 years ago when I was competing. I did the cutting mostly on my own without someone holding my hand through it. I lost a similar amount of weight in the same period of time. It is easier if the weigh in is the day before the fight. Just do some research…

Holy mackinaw!

Also, I haven't made this one yet but found it on here previously - sorry I can't remember who posted it to give credit. Protein Banana Bread -265g very ripe bananas- mashed well 2 scoops vanilla protein powder (I have/used cinnamon graham cracker, worked well) 2 egg whites 3 whole eggs (I used the 3 egg equivalent of egg…

Okay, I read the whole thread... can someone please post the recipe for the bacon wrapped Snickers? How do you cook the bacon without ruining the structural integrity of the Snickers bar? Should I roll the bar in batter first then wrap the bacon? HELP!!

Just worry about the whole day. I hit nearly all of macros in my evening meal. The effect of meal timing will likely be negligible.

I wouldn't sweat the sodium in a pickle. Just drink more water. Your lunch as a whole sounds good. I wouldn't worry too much about individual meals. Just keep an eye on your calories for the day/week and ensure your meals fit into your macros. Good luck!

STEAK!

I disagree with the majority of this post. Meal timing impact is very minimal. Eating clean is also subjective. Eat a deficit and hit your macros. You can reasonably lose 10 pounds between now and then in a sustainable way. You can then continue on the journey and keep watching the pounds tick away. Good luck and have fun…

Plaque.

Gin and Tonic. After four I get a headache and have to go home. Beer and whisky I can enjoy all night.

Totes. Treats keep this lifestyle maintainable.

Hey Real Science, how about some sources?

Thanks for the tips everyone. I forgot to add that my wife is doing the same 10k for her company so I need to at least beat her time or else I will never hear the end of it. Also, she runs A LOT. Today is day 1 of my new running routine! Mine are the 20V3 Cross training shoes.

Thanks very much. So minimalist shoes are fine for someone who isn't much of a runner going into it?

Fact.

Engineering joke: Q: How do you know if someone is a mechanical engineer? A: Don't worry, they will tell you!

I think there are much bigger problems out there in the world that "as a mechanical engineer", only you can solve. Go forth, young engineer, the world needs you!

I definitely giggled through this entire thread.

I tried that once. No luck. Apparently potato salad doesn't count.

Only grow it if you think you can handle it. Never forget, with great beard comes great responsibilibeard.

Same, this worked for me also. I use http://www.leangains.com/
