  • In the nicest way possible...you aunt is a special combo of blind, crazy, and mean!! Holy crap!!!! You look awesome :D Keep it up!
  • Ahhhhh, whiskey and cocaine. Does it get any better?!?! (I'll take vodka though) Reminds me....I need to go pick up some more ammo for my 20 gauge to blow away all the Rapture zombies who come to steal my stuff or eat my brains.
  • I downloaded FitnessPro the other day...it's not bad. Has a few basic programs in there prebuilt, or you can build you own from their exercises list. I workout at 24 hr too. If you ever have questions on equipment, ask one of the trainers. They are there to help and will show you how to use the equipment without hurting…
  • RunKeeper is my fav app....essential if you are doing any kind of Running. It takes a little manual work, but you can build in all the intervals to your phone. Select one, Start Activity, and away you go! You can listen to your iTunes or Pandora in the background and works like a CHARM! Check out their website too:…
  • So amazing when people outside your everyday take notice! Congrats :) Keep up the great work!
  • From friends who have done a lot, it is designed to build that long, lean muscle look. So you're observations are probably correct. Keep it up!!
  • :heart: :heart: :heart: the diagrams Mike!!!
  • Usually it's the bad sense of style and knowing everything about, well....everything that give engineers a bad name. I haven't watched any of the video's to check out this guys sense of fashion, but he does seem to be quite 'I know more than you!!!!' (PS...my father is an engineer. I'm a computer engineer. The cycle…

  • Wow....nearly fell off my couch. Hilarious!! I am so going to remember that one for when my body has reached the 'every guy in the gym turns his head for a peek' state. :D So I respect everyones opinions on the dating threads thing...they can get immature. But for some people that is support. Any person who says that they…

  • Lots of good info for you here. As said below, takes 2 - 3 days to get it out of your system. The reason you continue to crave it is because you liver is still processing the sugars. I don't remember the technical term for this off-hand, but it is the reason your cravings continue. So bite the bullet, have lots of fruits,…
  • The eat or not to eat exercise calories question is a neverending debate on here. The way it was explained to me that helped me best understand it is: Your body needs fuel. When you do extra work, you run out of fuel quicker. Unlike a car which has no reserves, you body has two kinds: fat and muscle. When your body feels…
  • Oh yea!!!! Talk about a happy realization! I'm so close to being there myself. Have already started a pile of clothes from there I NEVER want to see ever again!!!
  • :) Woo hoo!!! Bet you have a great smile to keep you through the rest of your day now.
  • Don't forget to balance those planks out with some supermans!! Core is more than abs, it's all the way around your midsection. To gain the most benefit from core, you have to build up a good balance in your torso and supporting your spine. A few links for your reading enjoyment.…
  • OMG! I don't eat any of these foods....but the fast food industry continues to shock me more and more each day and I learn more about their truths. I mean, who makes a conscious decision to make Oatmeal unhealthy?! It's one of natures best 'sponges' for soaking up all the crap in your body. How do you expect it to do what…
  • Picked up ChiRunning from my library last night and 47 pages in so far. Running or not, it's a good book and gives you a lot to think about. What some people are referring to as the hippy-dippy, new age, too far out there stuff is actually ancient philosophies that have shaped the strength of Eastern religion and life. All…
  • Invest in a good Olive Oil. Yes, there is fat and calories...but like everyone else said, these fats are good for you. That being said, don't drink it by the cupfull or pour a ton you foods. A little is great, delicious, and great for cooking.
  • Sounds yummy!! bump nikki_zav
  • Love all the great recipes this morning. Bookmarked you blog for future reference!! It all sounds delicious and right up my kind of food alley!! :D
  • All I have to say is DAMN!!!!! Congrats on the huge turnaround. :)
  • :heart: :heart: :heart: my Polar
  • There is definitely something wrong. Unless you are in EXTREMELY good shape (or are pretty much just laying on the floor taking a nap) during your 55 min workout, going from 600 to 199 cal just isn't going to happen. Not sure on your brands reliability, so maybe do some google or amazon searches for reviews and see if any…
  • 2nd this one!! Avoiding processed foods which break down quickly in your system will help. I think someone up there mentioned water....not sure though. So, just in case....water. Lots of fresh fruits and veggies - fiber will help fill you up and keep you full.
  • My scale is way off too. When measured by my trainer, my Body Fat % is 38.4, but my scale said 42....pretty big difference. Depending on your hydration levels, the scale can read differently. I would do some research online to determine what your body fat really is. If you belong to a gym, maybe ask one of the trainers to…
  • I have one of those 15 feet to my left. Snickers, Twix, Butterfingers, Baby Ruth, Tootsie Rolls, Chocolate, and more. Constantly refilled. I have learned to ignore it's presence.....takes so much will power. They are so little....but soooooo powerful!
  • Yummy! bumping for later nikki_zav
  • On Friday: Chocolate caramel cup cakes, bratwurst, LOTS of beer, buffalo chicken dip, cheese Sunday: My team ordered pizza and I didn't have a slice. Plus there was a yummy lemon cake with homemade icing....nada Monday: Lots of yummy cakes and treats from starbucks. I just had a green tea Great job to everyone who 'Just…
