I'm so happy to see you reach success! It's been a great year and I've loved watching you get closer and closer to your goal. I know that as time goes by you will continue to use what you've learned to reach bigger and better goals. You're a great friend and I couldn't be happier for you. :smile:

Google some of these: Glute bridges Planks Ab wheel / dolly Dead bug Supermans Side planks Remember to tighten the core and squeeze the butt during the exercise. After a while you can advance to more difficult exercises and you will be able to feel your core engaging with almost everything you do.

It's a set of 30. Works the same for every exercise like that.

That you need to eat clean and cleanse your body to lose weight That eating breakfast is important That meal timing is irrelevant to weight loss That you should drink a lot of water That drinking water is irrelevant to weight loss That eating red meat is bad because it's high in saturated fat and cholesterol That eating…

I agree that nothing feels better than feeling strong, confident and healthy. However I would disagree that you need to starve in order to feel that way.

Wow, I was not expecting that one! lol The real question here is: Do you feel threatened or abused by this guy? If you feel like this guy has malicious intent and is purposefully degrading / mocking you, then by all means keep a diary and report his actions to HR. When I read your original post, my initial thought was…

It sounds to me like this guy is pretty immature and for whatever reason he is treating you like one of the guys. He probably views you as safe when it comes to being crude or quirky. What is the work environment that he's in?

Sending a friend request. I'd be happy to offer support along the way.

For starters, I think people give up way too easily. A marriage is supposed to be a lifelong commitment to each other and that takes work; it's not always easy. If you're ready to walk every time you hit a bump (several bumps) in the road, then you're not ready for marriage. I'm not talking about things like cheating or…

I definitely couldn't carry on an entire relationship over the Internet. However it's a great way to meet new people. Where it goes after that is up to the people involved. I met my wife online about 7 years ago and I'm sure we wouldn't have met otherwise.

:laugh:

I've lived in MD my entire life and we definitely have accents. :smile: Actually several different accents. Eastern shore, southern MD, Dundalk (Balmer), western MD - all different and very noticeable to a MD native. And since we can hear other people's accents, it makes sense that they can hear our accent, even if we…

If we're talking about pedophiles then no, I don't think they can be rehabilitated. If we're talking about rapists, it might be possible depending on the history of the person. There is no changing what a person is sexually attracted to. If you're a heterosexual woman and someone told you that you have to go to jail until…

But if Fox didn't do this kind of stuff, what would Jon Stewart have to talk about?

I agree, we should thank emergency response personnel more often. In fact, I'd say we should go a step further and establish a closer relationship with our local agencies. I think the biggest problems between public safety workers and citizens is that there is little to no positive communication. At least where I live.

Sorry you're going through a tough time right now. There are lots of people out there in similar situations and it's better to know now rather than later. You will get through this and find what you're looking for.

Personally I don't count it. I've walked my 2 labs everyday for about the last 3 years so I consider it part of my daily activities. We go about 1 mile and the walk lasts 20-25 minutes. I think it depends on how vigorous the walk is. My walks are more for them than for me (i.e. slow and lazy).

It's a good workout but I don't know if it qualifies as HIIT. I think the 4 minute rest might be too long. Someone more experienced could possibly explain it better but my experience with HIIT is this: A high intensity burst followed by a short rest to lower heart rate, then followed by another high intensity burst. For…

If you're a guy you notice things about your car, like when the check engine light comes on, and you fix the problem. If you're a woman and you actually notice the check engine light come on, you just continue driving that motherf*cker like nothings wrong.

A less often asked question about eating exercise calories. Is there a conflict between the lifestyle activity setting and exercise calories? For example, Webmd lists the following definitions for activity settings: Sedentary: little or no exercise Lightly Active: light exercise or sports 1-3 days/week Moderately Active:…

What kind of workouts are you doing? Did your cardiologist do a stress test? If your blood pressure and heart rate aren't the problem, then it could be a sugar issue. Or it could just be you're pushing yourself too hard, too early. After an intense 90 minute workout in the morning I experienced the same thing several…

Is anyone else reminded of cheese when looking at that picture? 2 pounds away from losing the entire display case and then only about 30 pounds to go....sigh

I can only speak in hypothetical terms since I'm not yet a parent. My decision of whether I should or shouldn't buy a game rated well above my "child's" age range would be based on several factors: maturity level of the child; context of the game; and any possible effects on siblings or visitors. The decision would boil…

It's true. In my area the night before Thanksgiving is the busiest drinking night of the year. I was surprised to find that out as I would have guessed New Years Eve or St. Patrick's Day.

If you have friends that use the x-box, then you might want to consider that system. It has a better buddy system that lets you chat before loading up a specific game. However if you want a system with a blu-ray player and overall better hardware then go with the ps3. (P.S. Skyrim was released for ps3 as well)
