Instant gratification? The scale is the only tool most people use to measure change? Most people don't have easy access to measure changes in BF% or don't have a tape measure. I dunno... I'd rather fit into my pants than worry about the number on the scale. It's taken me a while to get to that way of thinking but I think…

Diet soda gets you drunk faster. Which is fine, if that's what you want. Drink vodka with half tonic water and half soda water with a twist in a tall glass. Or, ditch the tonic water and go all soda water. This one time, I had a fantastic night by having a shot of tequila and then a glass of water, (repeated about 12x).…

Things that help you to drop weight quickly: - Dehydration - Taking a huge dump - Losing muscle mass by not eating enough and doing too much cardio

Not all units of mass weigh the same. A 3ft cube box of feathers does not weigh the same as a 3ft cube box of lead. But, they will fall at the same rate if dropped out of the Tower of Pisa.

Why the heck would you give up beer? Unless it was that low-cal ****. But that's not really beer anyways... Cold beer or chilled white wine on hot days. Red wine on cold winter nights or when I'm devouring a bison. Vodka when I go out to get smashed. Tequila when I'm already smashed. Rum - no... no rum. Rum is for…

If you find it hard to reach your calories, try adding caloricly dense food such as avocados or nuts. :)

I'm just a bit taller than you and doing P90X Classic. I set my calorie goal to 1605 (BMR) with 40/30/30 ratios and am considering increasing that amount. I would be a hungry, angry person at 1270 net calories. If I were you, I would find out my BRM and TDD and increase your goal calorie number.…

It can depend on how hard you are working out and what you are doing for your workouts, what your routine is like and how much sleep you are getting. You can have active recovery days: for example, go for a 30 minute walk or do some stretching instead of doing 30DS. Google "overtraining". If you have any of those symptoms,…

It was awesome! Must watch again! I can hardly recall specifics from last night though. Feeling mildly hungover today. Maybe the two are connected? I'm really trying to turn off the "compare the show to the book" switch so that i can enjoy the show more. Classic Dontos: vomiting wine all over the place.

Yes, it gets better. Legs tend to be more sore the 2nd day after a workout sometimes. Try an ice bath after the next leg workout/really long run to help reduce inflammation. As your legs get used to the workouts, there will be less and less soreness afterwards. After my first half marathon, I was weaving around like a…

I don't think the person they cast as Loras is hawt enough. Maybe it's his hair but when I first saw him, my first thought was 'ewww, he's not pretty enough to be Loras.' Other than that, I don't think I really have any complaints. Can't wait til season 2 starts tonight... but what I'm really looking forward to is books 6…

I am currently doing a P90X/triathlon sports/hot yoga mashup. I'm not following the P90X diet plan though. Just calculated my BMR to get my caloric daily minimum and am doing my own thing, food-wise. Sometimes, I'll browse the plan for new recipe ideas.

Oooohh! I like this philosophy! I think I'm going to try this out. I have spent too much time in the past, mapping out my 'expected' weight loss and then being disappointed when I don't make it.

Tucking your shirt into your pants can make a huge difference as to whether or not they stay up.

^^This

The 2200 already accounts for the exercise calories, so no need to eat them back.

LOL :drinker: Please get to explain specifically how it's bad for you. It does not wreck your knees. If you are female, it does not make your lady junk fall out.

A banana's what? I really want to know.

I'm fine with sex scenes in the show; as long as they were in the BOOKS!!! haha

I picked up the first book at least 10 years ago. I liked ASOIAF before it was cool. :P ** not a hipster I'm looking forward to seeing Brienne, shadow babies, Jon Snow's journey north of the wall... Ok, i'm looking forward to it all except when they throw in an expository scene like the one with Peter Balish and the two…

Ooooh... I gotta try that. But no OJ... Far too many screwdrivers in my youth. haha

Keep pushing play. Do your best and forget the rest. (Insert other Tony-isms here) Just keep at it. How else are you going to improve? Think of it this way. The next 90 days are going to pass by no matter what. You might as well come out stronger at the other end. If you don't do the program, in 90 days, you'll still be…

I'd say, on the off chance you find yourself building huge muscles (takes a lot of work to do this), just don't lift as heavy. A lot of times women think they are building muscle quickly because their biceps are pumped and hard after a couple of workouts but most of this is the muscle retaining water to heal itself.

Mixing diet sodas with liquor makes the body absorb the alcohol faster. I like vodka with half tonic water, half soda water and a lime. 70 cals for an ounce of vodka. Half a can of tonic water 70 cals. Soda water 0 cals. Tasty, tasty, tasty!

Set it to Athlete or Normal but then just leave it there. These scales are not 100% accurate but should be able to show you your changes at least. Does it check hydration too? I find that my BF% reading can swing wildly depending on how hydrated I am, so I have a spreadsheet where I log all the scale information once a…

www.beginnertriathlete.com is a good resource

I have never done all three events in a row while training. I did do some brick workouts (bike ride immediately followed by a run). The best part of having the run at the end is that you can always walk if you're too bagged to run. Your first triathlon is really about putting it all together and learning for next time. :)

BWAHAHAAAA! I just aboot peed myself.

I would never laugh at this. It sounds just like where I was when I started; 30 seconds at a time was darn near impossible. Now, i've done countless 5ks, 10ks, and half marathons. Just keep running! It gets better.

I larfed.
