I used to wear gloves because when I was taking weight training in High School/College it was beat into my head that I HAD to wear gloves. Literally had to. If I forgot them at home the coach wouldn't let me lift. Called it a safety thing. I posted a form check vid here in the forums a while back and someone asked me why I…

I'm going to give Insanity a shot about 3 times a week, starting today. I guess we'll find out if it works doing it intermittently :D

28 and trying to get back in shape. Joined in July, and I've found the people here to be pretty amazing. I've been to France a couple of times for work, but never got to really enjoy it.

I love reading success stories. Always gets me pumped up for my next workout! Way to go!

My new nightmare. Good lord that thing creeps me out!

Miss Daisy.

I do what I can.

Bah, the picture is too big, and I don't feel like resizing it. Alucard and Seras Victoria are two of my favorites. Along with D of course. Fine. Since the image isn't working I'll stop being lazy.

I'm in the middle of this program. I'm probably going to echo a lot of people; get fitted for proper running shoes ASAP. I didn't know what I was doing when I began, and I didn't get fitted. I developed shin splints that made me stop jogging for 2 weeks before they went away, and that's on the lighter side of things that…

Thanks. I figured I couldn't be the only one who wasn't seeing the scales/inches move even though I was making progress. That's ultimately what drove me to post the topic. Glad it helped someone :)

I'm currently reading Rudyard Kipling's Tales of Horror and Fantasy, which is awesome. The Oscar Wilde collection is quite amazing (probably gonna read that again after Kipling). Anything from H.P. Lovecraft will be a good read, and I'm also working on the The Song of Albion trilogy by Stephen Lawhead. It's quite good and…

Oooo, tough one. NES - Tie between Zelda and Super Mario Bros SNES - Tie between Chrono Trigger, Secret of Evermore, and Super Mario RPG N64 - Tie between Golden Eye and Mario Kart I can't break the ties...just can't bring myself to do it!

Woohoo! :drinker:

My beard is a ginger, does that count?

BSN Syntha-6 Vanilla Ice Cream. A 44g scoop (one serving) is: 190 calories, 13g carbs, 6g fat, 22g protein. I mix it with a cup of frozen strawberries, a cup of Danon Light & Fit vanilla yogurt, a cup of Silk Pure original unsweetened almond milk, and six ice cubes. Tastes like a vanilla/strawberry milkshake. You can check…

I usually cook a couple strips of turkey bacon, and then throw 2 eggs in the pan afterwards to fry them up. The grease from the turkey bacon helps keep the eggs from sticking, and makes the eggs taste awesome.

I pretty much exclusively post at work. I'll hit a topic or two at home, but most of my lurking is done on my lunch break, or when waiting on developers to compile builds.

My favorites are: Peanut butter and honey sandwich Beef/Turkey Jerky My protein shake (BSN Syntha-6 Vanilla Ice Cream protein powder, about a cup of frozen strawberries, a cup of original unsweetened Silk Pure almond milk, a cup of Danon Light & Fit vanilla yogurt, and six ice cubes all blended together)

Not sure if this will work since I can't access photobucket at work, but viewing the page source for the images I can see I think it _should_. If it does work, it's me from mid Sept while I was in France doing some work.

Checking in. C25K week 3 is brutal!

Most body soaps are scented to. My shampoo isn't really scented. It has aloe vera in it, but it doesn't smell like some fruit or bean.

Perfumed? Who brought up perfume? I have to shampoo my beard, otherwise I get beard dandruff, and I'd rather not have my chest covered in white flakes thankyouverymuch. :smokin:

I shampoo, condition, and comb my beard daily. The ladies love it.

It's an awesome site. Just be mindful, like all public forums the trolls lurk here. And welcome! Also, why are you carrying a stone? Is it shiny?

Welcome to the land of Lifestyle Changes and people who don't know how to wear shirts (they're overrated anyways...like pants). :laugh:

Usually after a long day of work I just want to go to the bar and drink several beers. I just have to keep reminding myself of why I'm doing what I'm doing, and it usually works.

Pizza is my kryptonite, so if this allows me to get my pizza on without killing any progress...heck ya!

Checking in:

I'd highly recommend a power/safety rack. The upfront cost isn't too bad if you already have the weights and bar, and the benefit is that you can do a lot of exercises with them without having to worry about injuries.

I'll participate (even though I'm a few days late). Not sure I'll make the 50 since I'm brand new to jogging, but I'll give it a go! Starting Week 3 of C25K tomorrow!
