I don't think "after" exists... life after all is about challenging yourself... or as one philosopher put it..." the life unexamined is not worth living".. are we all NOT here because we began examining our life? and found it lacking.. are we all not here to re-arrange our lives so we can better…

  • THIS.. helped me through some tough times... "THE BEST REVENGE IS LIVING WELL" ran into her a few years later... I had a wife a house a child... SHE... was street people.

  • you might try scanning the barcode to see if you're poison is in the database... BUT why??? I doubt the calorie content is significant...
  • a salad... consisting of: field greens, baby spinach, 2 tablespoons of crushed walnuts, grape tomatoes, a piece of cheddar cheese, a boiled egg and about 100 grams of roasted boneless, skinless chicken breast with 2 tablespoons of sundried tomato vinaigrette. daytime food is fuel... why would I deviate? of course I do…

  • It is about the results you are looking to achieve... I am personally doing 35 minutes of elliptical before I grab a barbell or a dumbbell... BUT then I am only doing 3 lifts afterwards...my goal is to increase muscle mass and reduce fat while loosely staying within a caloric deficit...My ultimate goal is to develop the…

OR is the OP just here to attempt to compare his…

  • according to my internist... too much of it around and throughout my liver.. folks often only focus on the fat that hides beneath their skin... not realizing... what might be accumulating inside the body cavity... heart.. liver.. kidneys... ALL your vital organs are also prone to fat accumulations... IT isn't just a…
  • walking a mile in an hour... not so much... walking 5 miles in an hour.. much better... walking frromthe fridge to the couch.. meh... walking 2 miles to get groceries and carting back 2 20 lb bags of flour... + milk and eggs awesome... it's about context.
  • Love yourself enough to step up and be accountable to yourself. everyone has their stories... the common thread that runs through success is to understand that diet is not a temporary state that it is not enough to reduce your intake until you achieve a goal.. what you need to do is replace bad habits with good habits...…
  • continue to make healthy choices, and you should be just fine... drink plenty of water before and after you have a few drinks... consider this a mid-term exam on how you would function in a world without MFP...
  • I see that Timmy's is making a Nutella Donut
  • If you can do a full set of 5x5 you should have no problem adding a 2-1/2 lb plate to each side... for the next step up... or even a 5 lb plate to each side... lifting is about building muscle And confidence... so get you some of both!!!
  • and a quick Google indicates to me... that a cooked egg is actually more nutritious than a raw egg...
  • There is NO good reason to drink something you can cook

  • muscles are going to ache... but fret not, it gets less severe over time as you teach yourself to enjoy the journey... eventually YOU are not going to be able to talk yourself OUT of going to the gym... you'll wake up before the alarm...routines become habits... so.. create a routine and before you know it... about 2-3…
  • YUM... Steak... JUST bought a 1/2 a cow... I HAVE LOTS of Steak... and NOT surprisingly... about 70 lbs of ground beef... BUT we mix the ground beef with ground Bison... MMM taco heaven... oh.. wait... what was the question?

  • I have 10 almonds.. with a whole grain bread (I like ancient grains) and a tomato... that puts me up around 380 calories... BUT plain no fat Greek yogurt mixed with frozen berries (Costco mixed field berries) and a 1/2 cup of steel cut oats (oatmeal) is a solid start too... I add a tblsp of Honey.. and a 1/4 tsp of…
  • 6-3... about 260 lbs... I have heard he does eat near 5K calories/day... BUT just to prepare for his roles... he does NOT maintain that diet year round...as for the grocery bill?? I am sure he doesn't see it.. I'd bet his cook/chef/nutritionist just passes the invoice off to the accountant.
