  • I will wait until the current fighting over where the money is and where its going is finished before donating anymore. Like normal serious questions are coming out re: all of the funds that poured into Newtown and where its going/has gone.
  • Speaking as a guy we truly dont care. Give us a mancave to decorate like we want and the rest of the house is yours. Do whatever you want that makes you happy. A happy wife is a happy life.
  • I dont have such friends anymore... They used to get me really mad so I would take long walks deep in the woods - cardio was great becuase I was also dragging a body...
  • The wife says 50 Shades could be my biography ( :D ) but no I do not.
  • Awesome! You look great! I also use running as one means to lose weight. My longest so far is a half-marathon (and now inumerable 5k and 10ks) my toughest race? A 4 mile spartan - I did a 13 mile mudder in almost the same time as the Spartan. Keep it up - keep going - keep running :)

  • Water- water -water... start hydrating now! and drink at every station!. I did a half a few months ago (as well as doing mudders and spartans now). If you have pockets or carry a small runners pack I highly suggest something like Gu packets and/or chewables. For the sticky Gu packets I tended to suck one down quickly at…
  • fwb Keep looking until you find someone worthy of you- use the current moron for your gratification then kick him out of bed after he brings you a sammich.
  • It depends - since I am a guy it tends to come more often then not from others. Most are annoying as its "Do this to bulk up" or "You are doing it wrong". For the first I dont want to bulk up- I am a kravist (krav maga) and bulk = slow when fighting so I want strength to a point along with twitch muscles (its amazing to me…

  • From Dad: Don't stick it in crazy From Mom: Learn how to cook, clean and do laundry. Us girls eat that up.
  • Tofu, peanut butter, cottage cheese, greek yogurt, kale, seitan Have a ball with the below list- also many of the Morningstar Farms, Quorn and other mock meats have decent protein http://www.nomeatathlete.com/vegetarian-protein/ Best Protein Sources for Vegetarians I’ve compiled a list of some of the best protein sources…
  • You are an inspiration to me I hope you know! :)
  • I sent a brief message to you. I have been taking krav for two years and turned at least two other mfp women onto it. I echo the above re a good school. As stated in my message i just finished a 4 1/2 hour krav class and seminar today. :) As a correction krav does not consider itself a mixed martial art- it is a self…
  • I use an HRM so am fairly accurate. How do I do it? Well lifting for an hour is about 400 +/- for me. My 1000+ cal burns are typically: Running 9+miles in one shot or 3+ hours of krav maga which I reach on Thursdays (one hour of Level 2 work, followed by one hour of high inetsnity hand combatives, followed by Level 1) My…
  • Me - veg for about 18 months now.
  • @Gimme - I have a wild side I can hardly wait for my reply.... But open up my profile so you see the whole pic... :)
  • No- surprisingly we still try to lock up at least one person - it allows the continuous combatives and takes one person at least partially out of the fight. We do a lot of multiple opponent drills with transitions to the other attacker. If you have a person locked up you can spin them while striking and use them as a…
  • Oh yeah... I take krav maga also and have been primarily kicked back. I have been pretty much beat, bruised and broken. Oddly enough in krav unless we are creating space to get away or fight multiple attackers we actually try NOT to punch or kick people away. We want to close with, get inside and destroy - we throw a…
  • I practice 4 drills: Standard Defensive Response - 2 to the chest Immediate stop - 1 to the head Failure to stop - 2 to chest, 1 to head Body Armor Stop - 4 across the pelvis (I prefer 2 shots where the femur meets the hip on each side - A friend prefers evenly spaced across the abdomen/groin area) And bad guys only fly…
  • I used to make swords and daggers for a living (axes and maces too)
  • Ahhh... I concur.
  • 45's dont take people off their feet. That is hollywood - like most pistol rounds solid hits will drop them or maybe make them stumble and fall backwards which is a product of shock and reflexes not energy transfer throwing them back. There are more then enough videos out there of people being shot in combat with all kinds…
  • 23 years. Very bad rough patch at the 21 year mark and almost divorced. Enough blame on both sides. Made it through and we are stronger.
  • A few years ago I also consolidated my ammo to standardize and not have all kinds of calibers. Now its just 7.62, 5.56, 22 lr, 9mm, 45 and 12 ga. Gone are the 380, 40, 38 special/357 and 30-06. The only oddball I kep was 7.62x54r because I have a dragunov I wont part with. As for pocket guns- the SA XDs in 45 is just...…
  • I was 305 and 47 when I went in- I dreaded to shower. Barely did 5 minutes on the elliptical before dieing and I thought everyone was pointing and laughing at me. Fast forward 2 years- I am a gym rat. Lift 5 times per week and I know everyone. When new people come in- especially overweight ones- I have to say I now know…
