Pizza, a big one. Hence my current (round) shape :)

I usually eat a bowl of cereal in the mornings on the weekends. Normally it's some variety of Kashi or Special K but occansionally something like Rasin Bran sneaks in there. I avoid the more sugary cereals as much as I can.

During the week, I refill my 28 oz. blender bottle at work 3 or 4 times and probably most of a 1L. bottle at home. Weekends, Probably 3 of the 1L bottles at least.

15-17% through 30%

+1. I have gotten in lots of trouble on this subject so I just tip toe around it as much as I can. Knowing me, I will compliment some one on losing weight as nicely as I can and get the book thrown at me.

I volunteer for a husky rescue here in Northern Illinois. My profile pic was taken at an event last year with one of our rescued huskies (since adopted). I have a town house that's not quite big enough for a husky but once I move.....

Just finished listening to Testament's latest album, Dark Roots of Earth. Very good album and definately has some good workout tracks.

Always open to more friends, add me if you want.

Just finished Week 1 Day 3. I did 42 pushups today (did 7 for the initial test). Definately feeling the burn in my arms and chest,

I'm more of a PC gamer, although I may get back into Madden at some point. Right now, I'm playing World of Tanks and I am in the Mechwarrior Online beta.

I usually use the GNC Amp Wheybolic 60 mixes. Instead of the full 3 scoops, I just use 1 scoop which is 20 grams. It's a little expensive but the smaller bags last a while if you don't work out every day. I've tried several different powders and that seems to work best. 20 grams should be fine for you. Anything else would…

Classic Rock for sure. Oldies are more 50's early 60's stuff.

Well I just did the initial test and managed 7 so I'm in group 2. I think I'll start the workout this weekend, Maybe Sunday since I have runs the next two days,

Early morning for me. I'm usually up at 5:30AM to get to the gym by 6:30AM. We have a fitness center in our office's basement that's really nice so I'm usually there first thing in the morning. They also have a hour long boot camp class three days a week so do that plus cardio and weights. Weekends is usually a little…

If anyone who wants to add me to their friends list, feel free.

+1 on this. I see it on treadmills more than ellipticals. If you can read while working out, you're doing it wrong.

I'm going to have to give that a try. Thanks for the link.

Feel free to add me. I'm on Week 6 Day 2.

Right now, I use GNC Amp Wheyabloic 60. 1 scoop (20 g. protein) plus 4 oz. of water.

Hi, I'm just south of Huntley, IL

I'm more into thrash metal and hard rock but I like a great riff no matter who does it. The only newer band that I've gotten into is Five Finger Death Punch. Maybe I can get some ideas from this thread...

Just sent you a friends request.

Same thing here. Yoga balls are not allowed at our office because tend to do dumb things on them and then wind up on workers comp.

Totally agree with the parenting issue. Way too many people just park their kids in front of the TV and then vanish. Kids need to do something else instead of gaming like sports or just going to the mall. Parking kids in front of a TV will also cause issues down the road with their social skills as people don't act like…

I would add some carbs to your diet on a big workout day like whole grains or something with fiber in it. Otherwise you'll be hungry faster. Make sure you hit your protein goal as well as that will help with muscle recovery. I usually eat a little more than my normal goal on a big work out day but I try to stay a few…

If I feel like to need to flush out the system. I drink a lot of water and get in a good treadmill run for at least 30 minutes. That usually helps me.

Ever try banging your head while running on it treadmill? The opening of "For Whom the Bell Tolls" just about made me face plant on the treadmill a few weeks ago.

That and a couple of their newer songs, Back for More and Under and Over It. Lots of hard rock and thrash metal on my play list.

I live near Huntley and work in Hoffman Estates. Feel free to add me.

One of the most criminally under rated actors out there right now. He's the best thing about Burn Notice.
