Mmmhmm... cause all pit bulls are terribly vicious dogs, right? Don't think so

Bang my head on a desk repeatedly throughout the day. Currently, I'm an Office Manager/Event Planner/Everything Guru for a small software and consulting firm. Will be transitioning into a consulting position for the same company soon as I'm ready to get out of the operations realm.

It varies person-to-person. I enjoy starved a.m. cardio and see the most benefits from it as opposed to having eaten before hand, but some people don't perform well if they haven't eaten. I won't do starved strength training as I notice strength depletion if I do so typically I do my strength training in the afternoon or…

Wrong. While compound exercises are the best for your body, it's important to do isolation exercises as well. In order to improve strength, you have to lift as heavy as possible for 4-6 reps per set. Do that for 2-3 weeks, then you should be able to do 8-10 reps per set and at that point you increase to the next weight up.…

You cannot spot reduce and that will likely be one of the areas that is last to go, but there are some really good exercises to target your bis and tris and strength those muscles while you continue to MAINTAIN A CALORIC DEFICIT and lose body fat. Skull crushers Dips Tricep Kickbacks Tricep Pushdowns Dumbbell curls (Be…

Weights. Compound movements are going to be the BEST for legs: Squats Deadlifts Lunges Other good exercises include: Leg press Leg curls Hack squats Sumo squats Box jumps Hip adductors/abductors Extensions And as far as doing them on the same day, there isn't anything wrong with it. My leg days always involve lunges,…

Great post, OP. Thank you to a special someone (The_Saint) for the many wonderful things you do. To name them all would take up many pages of this thread, so I'll name a few: Cracking the eggs because you know I don't like to Carrying all the heavy bags, and all the other ones at the same time if you're able Always finding…

Light string cheese Yogurt Apples, bananas, grapes... etc Carrots, celery, sugar snap peas... etc Nuts (unsalted best option) Triscuits Hard boiled eggs Protein powder (blender bottle or regular water bottle and 8oz water) Premixed if you must (I admittedly used to drink EAS and liked them)

LMAO... that's cute

My first recommendation would be starting a glucosamine and chondroitin suppliment now, or at least a few weeks before the scheduled run. A band may be beneficial depending on where the pain is coming from. Bands provide support for your patella and tibia and are generally used for shin splints, not knee pain. At least the…

My gain was progressive and was due to a serious of three injuries, increased alcohol consumption after my 21st birthday, and bad eating habits. Between April of 2009 and January of 2011 I put on approx. 35 lbs because of those injuries and bad habits. Early in 2011 I was really unhappy with how I looked in the mirror, how…

I'm 6' and I wear a 9 or 9.5 depending on the shoe

Ha, yes, I do this too. Not because I'm cheap, just because I can ;)

I've gotta do it... LOVE YOU BABE! And this is our little family <3

Bree w/ crackers and some sweet & spicy jams Wolferman's english muffins with jam Ham Mashed potatoes Green bean casserole Homemade butter roles Some type of jello/marshmallow thing Glazed sweet potatoes Etc Carrot cake Brownie Bottom Pudding Pie Etc

Buy a food scale. It simplifies the whole process

Good for you, girl!

I get in 5 strength days a week and have an arm day, shoulder day, chest day, back day and leg day. If my week is too busy to allow for a single muscle group a day schedule, I'll combine for chest & back, arms & shoulders and legs. I also make sure to do 2-4 cardio sessions per week, and either do HIIT on the treadmill,…

Push ups, walking lunges, body weight squats, jumping jacks, jump rope and some workout DVDs.

There's a lot of talk on aspartame (found in diet beverages) to be bad for you, but I'm not certain I believe all the hype. I'm not a diet soda drinker, hate the stuff actually, but I do enjoy Sugarfree Red Bull and that has aspartame too. If I were you, I'd cut back on the quantity of diet sodas you drink and be sure to…

Tried this recipe this weekend and LOVED it: 3 bananas 2 cups rolled oats 1 cup dried pineapple 1/3 cup vegetable oil 1 tsp vanilla Mash bananas. Add in rolled oats, dried pineapple, vegetable oil and vanilla and mix together. Drop balls of batter on cookie sheet (12-24 cookies depending on your preference of size) and let…

What an incredible story. I'm so happy for you that you found this wonderful woman. That you found a passion for life. Thank you for sharing your story with us and I wish you both the best of luck.

We look a lot alike. We're four years apart, I'm 6' and he's about 5'8"-5'9", both blondes, same color eyes, similar mouths and eyes, etc.

Found this site and in-turn met the love of my life

Bump

I do targeted ab work very infrequently and generally stick to planks and some stabalizer ball work. Any of the compound lifts will also work core so as long as you remain lean, your muscle definition will be there but you shouldn't be increasing in your waistband. The ab ripper is a great workout that I'll do…

Sounds similar to HIIT and that's what I do. It's a great burn and is one of the best ways to get my heart rate up. I do intervals of 60secs/90secs High/Low or 90secs/60secs High/Low

My SO uses MFP as well but we're very seldomly on it when we're together. Time with him is far more important than anything going on here

I'm glad you understand the importance of working up to a faster pace little by little. Some people are natural runners, others are not. That being said, we can all run, it just takes more effort for some. I generally don't do distance runs anymore as I enjoy HIIT (high intensity interval training) more, but when I do 1-5…

Mine is visible only to my friends but if you're curious you may request me. I typically eat very clean and have seen great success
