I like the Biorythm products - they seem to have less of the additives. I use the protein powders in smoothies toward the end of the day when I need to get my calories and protein up for the day. After my lifting I use the Afterglow (watermelon is tasty). GNC store.

I thought you were talking about the red shoes/crocs on the kid on the right side of the bench till everyone else responded to the Star Wars costume. Anyways, i was going to say it's very odd to let a kid wear crocs and hi white socks. Just kidding of course. BTW, we are rolling out Salesforce.com at work today and the…

Thanks. I'll try my next 13miler without any fuel - not sure I will skip the water though, I cramp up if I don't hydrate. I normally stash 3 bottles of water along my route, one at 4, one at 6.5 and one about 9.

If you are running up to 6 miles 3 or 4 times a week you could probably pull off a half marathon right now. At this point I would guess your leg muscles would be your weak spot not your cardio. I was running 4 miles a day 4 days a week and 45 mins of spinning 2x week when I decided to train for a half marathon. I scheduled…

Las night I made the s'more smoothie I had been dreaming about. It was good for a treat yet not too bad on the calories. 1 container Friendly Farms Whipped Chocolate Yogurt - frozen 1.5 cups 2% milk 1 scoop chocolate protein powder 1 frozen banana 2 Tbs marshmallow fluff 2 graham crackers I only ate/drank half of it and…

must be a CLE thing

I came to this thread thinking ... Vanity is good, it keeps bathroom sink from sitting on floor and allows us to stand while washing our face. Then I realized you were talking about a different type of vanity. Sorry for the intrusion.

If you type your text after the bracket backslash quote bracket your text will end up after the quote box like this. If you type your text before the initial bracket quote bracket at the top your text will end up on top of the quote box. Knowing this also allows you to delete part of the quoted text if you only want to…

I like my smoothies more creamy and less icey so I don't add ice cubes. I make mine with regular yogurt frozen (not frozen yogurt from the ice cream aisle but yogurt from the yogurt section put in the freezer). I keep a variety of flavors and then add frozen bananas and other frozen fresh fruit depending on the flavors i'm…

I am currently doing ab isolation exercises because I am not working my legs heavily. I am training for my first 1/2 marathon and found that squating and deadlifting heavily made my legs feel like concrete when I tried to run 10+ miles. I have built my own upper body specific 5x5 workout that I do 3 times a week. I do…

I would finish out a 12 week cycle of what you are doing if you are already in the 8th week. Then try a 90 day (12 week) cycle of a 5x5 routine. Doing either one will help you accomplish your goal of losing the flab and after 90 days of each you may figure out which one works best for your goals. Actually, starting with…

I use the micoach app from ADIDAS. I'm sure it overestimates my calories burned so I don't all of them back. I have an android phone so i cant use a HRM with it but if you have an iphone/touch/nano i believe you can get bluetooth hrms that integrate with the micoach and give a better estimate of calories burned.

I want to have visible abs when I turn 50 (1.5 years from now). I want to be below 10% body fat before the Jan 2014.

Thanks for the update. You may be changing your name to CancerSlayer soon. Keep up the great attitude and thanks again for the courage to post this to a bunch of strangers.

I wanted to thank you and commend you for your post. It was very courageous of you to post it and since we haven't heard from you since July 2 I assume you are in the middle of the treatments. We look forward to an update and pray all is going well. Because of your post I gave my tongue a thorough self-exam and found a…

He doesnt want her to have self confidence. He wants her to feel she can do no better than him so she will never leave him. This is so simple, most men are very insecure when it comes to their wives/gfs/SOs, whatever. He is sabotaging your weight loss because he sees a few potential outcomes... -You get in shape and other…

Not to diminish anyone's successes, but the getting off the BP meds is the best one I've seen this week. Way to go!!!

I put on a pair of shorts that I bought 3 weeks ago and my wife said they were already too baggy, then realized they weren't the ones I bought, they were a pair of my 16 year old son's shorts and he plays soccer all year and is about 6% bf. They were actually 2 inches smaller than mine. I haven't worn 32 inch waist since…

maybe it's because they have a favorite machine and you happen to be on the one next to it and they won't even notice you. I'm fine as long as they don't have really bad bo or farts.

bump for later reading

My wife thinks her back hair is annoying when it gets caught in her bra hook or bikini tie. :wink:

Chipotle barbacoa burrito with white rice, both beans, lettuce, sour cream, guacamole, cheese, chips and guac and a pitron margarita. Oh yea, a dozen hot wings from BW3 for an appetizer and a DQ M&M blizzard for dessert.

Dianna, get to your dr right away to get your bp checked. Most likey your weight loss has helped bring your bp down and now your meds are way too strong.

Depending on how close you were dancing, they might get a whole lot worse in the next 9 months.

question is... did we drop to 2nd or did Mexico pass us???

I was doing 2-a-days (5 days a week), 1 cardio and 1 strength for 2 years with great success but i hit a bit of a plateau so I decided to change it up a little. I'm now doing Stronglifts 5x5 3 days a week and cardio 7 days a week (running 5 days and spinning 2). I find this works for me, but I'm nearing 50 so I need a…

Take a healthy snack with you to work so you can eat it on the way home. When you get home grab the kids and take them for a walk, to play in the park, to ride bikes, to play catch in the front yard, something. It's great bonding time and starts training your kids not to binge in the afternoon too. My kids are older so…

Well, if I drink 4 cups of it every morning along with my coconut oil, raspberry ketones, green coffee extract, chili powder, ground up unicorn horn, troll bone marrow and zombie saliva I should be able to add 10 calories to my daily allowance.

hmmm, I never knew green tea to be hard on the stomach - but then again my stomach is made of steel, I take 600mg of ibuprofen and wash it down with green tea on an empty stomach. Good for the inflamation but might be a little tough on stomach.

Green Tea. I start every day with 32 ounces of it. Don't buy the bottles though, some of them have a lot of sugar/sweetener and preservatives in them. I throw 3 lipton green tea bags in a pitcher (glass, not plastic) filled with water and put in the micro for 4 minutes, stick it in the fridge after an hour or so - that's…
