What?? I miss all the news during the week. I love her... *sniff sniff*

I'm just throwing some ideas out there to see what sticks...sorry if these are repeats: Buy in bulk--beans, oatmeal, pasta, flour, rice, etc. is cheaper when you purchase it this way. Also, we purchase frozen meat (chicken breasts and wings, turkey burgers, etc.) from Costco. We'll also get 2 whole chickens from there,…

Where are you at in your cycle? You could try to deload for a week, perhaps. Also, try upping your cals just a bit, and hit them. I know when I was trying to DL 160 and I didn't eat enough I was frelling tired!

These tats are awesome!! I have 3, but they're old and desperately need to be recolored, so no pics, sorry. :laugh: I have Calvin (of Calvin and Hobbes) on my ankle, 2 dolphins on my lower back (a tramp stamp...but I got it before they were called that) and a tribal sun above that. I got my Calvin on my 18th birthday....I…

Totally possible...I have a student that doesn't sweat.

I do it 3-4 times per week, at home or in my classroom. (Yoga, obvs.) I have a yogaglo.com membership so I use a class from there or the hone practice classes from Yoga Journal. ( Yes, I subscribe to the mag.)

Dear OP, Many people find it really hard to take advice from someone who lacks even a rudimentary understanding of spelling, punctuation, and grammar rules. In addition, come talk to us when you aren't a 19 year old know-it-all. You have NO FRELLING CLUE what other people have gone through in their lives. While for the…

I started my most recent cycle of SL with goblet squats on deadlift days instead of barbell squats. I was still squatting, but it's a different movement, and the lighter weight (I maxed out with a 60 lb dumbbell) didn't put so much pressure on my body. I have horrible knees and it was just better for my body. You also…

I was respondent número uno and didn't get an invite. :cry:

Hawaii is so awesome!! It will be worth the in laws, I promise! I've been good this week...I don't think ive had one!!

I'll put my kitty away when I'm good and ready...it needs to be aired out sometimes!!

It means keeping them warm and dry.

Reported for the cat hate.

Well, don't let your cat on here...this place is full of HATERS and UNMOTIVATORS!!

I'm just jumping in to tag. My goals are to make the move to 5/3/1 without killing myself. :laugh:

Successfully switch to the 5/3/1 (using the triumvirate template to start) and not kill myself. I need to incorporate more cardio too.

Check out NerdFitness.com There's a TON of ideas that you can do at home with just your bodyweight.

Spring break...and my lushy week is coming to a close. Thank goodness. I drank pretty much every night...grapefruit/vodkas, red bull/vodkas, vodka/sodas, vodka/cran/sprite, Fresca/Capt. Morgan, wine...
