Not sure if others do this but I actually will subtract out my BMR for the amount of time I was excercising when calculating calories burned. SInce MFP already gives me that allotment I would be double counting that burn. And w/o an HRM I would be completley lost as the burn numbers from MFP are nothing but SWAG's.

I might have to replace my fake cell phone holder. I have seen some crazy stuff at gun shows. I do live in Texas though.

Alcohol is high cal by nature. Buy yourself space by planning ahead and getting in plenty of excersie.

Awesome. So, I don't know the first thing about raising kiddos or what to expect. Any tips?

Haha, I remember being pissed when I couldn't run with a discman because it would skip. Good times.

So...not technically a dad yet, but my wife is due in May!! We're having a little girl and I'm super pumped. Mind if I join?

Well crap I was doing it so that I would be more attractive for my wife and live a long life with her. Now I guess I'd better go find a hussie...

Out of curiosity, anyone else here an avid Chron.com (Houston Chronicle website) reader? I love Eric Berger's SciGuy blog. He does a fantastic job during hurricane season and regular weather updates and has some good science and Nasa stuff if you're into that. Also, John McClain has a great NFL blog covering all things…

Definitely not wrong. Draw a line in the sand - this is the only way to resolve this on your watch. If this has been going on for any length of time (more than a few weeks) then she has probably already crossed the line. Tell her she must stop the childish behavoir and go to counciling or you'll leave. I would never stand…

You had me at "Beer & Ice Cream"...

Man this brought up a bad memory from 9th grade Spanish. Did you really have to call on me to come to the front of the class at that moment teacher? The one day I had my shirt tucked in? The one day the hottest chick in class wore a short skirt? To answer the question though, no that doesn't happen to me. Probably for the…

I completely believe the research but for some reason I get very thirsty after drinking coffee. Every morning I have 2 cups of coffee and then don't feel like my thirst gets quenched until I have 4-6 cups of water after. Any clue what causes the thirst if not for dehydration?

Born and raised. Currently on a business trip in Orlando but can't wait to come home. How 'bout them Texans? Let's kick some Tampa a** this weekend.

My wife actually looks like a Victoria's seceret model and I wouldn't want it any other way. Don't kid yourself that a lot of guys don't want that as well.

I went from 155 (skinny as a 6'1" guy) to 220 while taking Paxil for 1 year. However, my eating and excercise habits also went down the tube during this period so not sure what caused it. I can tell you that I will never take anti-deppresants again though. Vigorous excercise works much better and does not have all of the…

The first time I had Panera bread was when I purchased $400 worth of sandwhiches for my wife's best friend's wedding shower. I tried to eat every left over sandwhich, pickle spear, and cookie so it didn't go to waste. Thank goodness I wasn't loggin calories at the time...

This is pretty much true. I've done P90X and it does rip you up some but doesn't build much muscle. I can probably do 1000 pushup's though...

Hell yeah - great attitude. When someone underestimates your potential, at least they'll never see you coming.

See if you can force yourself to take a 1 week break. Or at least 3 days. You won't get out of shape in 3 days. I also work out like a maniac and for some reason my biggest gains seem to come (inches, bf%, weight) after a longer than normal rest. This is just an anecdote, and I have no scientific evidence to back it up but…

I do the same thing. It's on Sunday. Football Sunday. I'm going to drink beer, eat wings, etc. while watching football and I don't want to hear what MFP thinks. It's like my body and mind just need to reset for a day and relax. I usually have a strong workout on Monday's and I'm sure it's related to the extra energy. I…

I travel all across the US due to my job, and 70% of that travel is in the deep south so I have a unique perspective. IT IS DIFFERENT. Most of it is due to culture and economics. Unless you are on a fried chicken diet, you will have a harder time finding healthy options. It is true that you can find fast food joints…

I'm about to head to Saltgrass steakhouse and consume 1400+, including a 10oz filet. Oh, and I'm enjoying a St Arnolds Oktoberfest right now that clocks in around 200 cals. Gotta love these heavy excersise days.
-
I agree with this. Sure you might clean the house one day, but you probably balance it by sitting around on your butt another day. It's such an inexact science anyway.

This used to happen to me when I drank too much water too close to when I actually was going to run. I found that if I stayed hydrated and drank water at a slow steady pace during the day this wouldn't happen. Also, when the cramps come it helps to really control your breathing (long deep breaths) to get through them.

Played WoW for 6 months at release but got bored with it. Lost 3 years of my life to the original EQ though. I lost a few girlfiends and the admiration of a few family members but I do have some great memories. Been playing Rift with the wife some. Fun game but getting bored with it and have very little time for games…

If you're in Texas after mid-October you should try Real Ale Coffee Porter. So tasty.

Keep in mind that Thanksgiving and Christmas are really the only 2 days we should be eating more than normal. Most of us are not children anymore so there isn't an excuse to really be stuffing our faces with candy at Halloween. All the other times you justify eating junk that isn't in your plan...that's just your mind…

Many years ago when I started running alot I made myself drink a lot of water during the day and I somehow rid myself of the soda habit. I really didn't intend to I just got out of the habit of having daily soda's. Now, if I ever drink a soda I feel kind of grossed out by all that sugar and it makes me want to drink a jug…

Not wanting to lose the following things I have worked so hard for. 1) Lot's of energy. 2) A ton of confidence. 3) Self control. 4) Fitting into clothing. 5) That look my wife gives my when I take my shirt off...
