  • I won't make this lengthy. I quit on July 4th (my "independence day") after 19 years. I will never smoke again. Add me and I will do tell you everything I can about my experience thus far to help you. But have you decided that you will never smoke again? If you paused, you're not ready. And that's ok. Focus on other…
  • Love them! Great for strength and explosiveness. Also great for really quick 10-minute workouts (compound movements).....
  • "I'm open to communication if..." That's awesome! LOL.. Feel free to add me, and ask anything. Don't forget to fill out your profile so folks know who they're talkin to. Best of luck!

  • Whenever YOU feel like working out the hardest.
  • Honestly, it sounds like you know exactly what you need to do. Both. You said it yourself, you need to build strength, drop weight and increase your endurance/stamina quickly. How bad do you want it? That's the real question. But, uh, you may want to try it for more than a week..... :)
  • A hot shower, a few candles, some tea and a book. Sounds like you've worked yourself up to believing that 5k is a long ways. It's only 3 miles. That's less than 45 minutes worth of work, even if you walk it at a moderate pace. No need to "carb-up" like it's an endurance race, just maybe eat some oatmeal for breakfast and…
  • Take a few days off to let your feet recover. See your doctor. Could be anything from your shoes to nerve damage....
  • Hmmm..... Do you know the answer to this question and just don't want to trust your body enough to listen? What happens if you break your routine and everything you've accomplished goes away? Trust your body. You also sound as if you revel in extremes - you have to push it to the limit or not at all ("break"). Try working…
  • Welcome. No trash talk here or criticism here. LOTS of cheerleaders. Lots of friends.
  • ...lay in bed having multiple conversations at once, with people all across the world, and completing sentences about it! And get some sleep before I have to wake up in four hours. Oh yeah.
  • You might want to see your doctor. If the tissue separates from the bone, you've got months of rehab. Or, it could already be a stress fracture.... How strong is your core? A strong core will help you take some stress of your legs. Are you what I call a puddle jumper? If EVERYTHING shakes when your foot hits the ground,…
  • I must admit, from the beginning, that I know very little about the diet other than it's based on what we think cavemen ate back in the day. That said, sounds like you're too much of a hunter for the time with limited hunting tools and language (attack planning)..... I can't see how more greens and beans (fiber) would hurt.
  • EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US FEEL THE SAME WAY YOU DO. That's our secret. Everyone's looking around or down to either compare or avoid. God bless the USA! I travel a lot, so I'm in a lot very different gyms. If I walk in the Alpha male, I still worry about the females and who's chasing me (hopefully one in the same). ;) If I…
  • Attitude, attitude, attitude. Hair color's irrelevant for me; every woman knows how to turn on the charms of them all! The question is are you giving her the reason to? I love all of the "my husband prefers...." lol. (I don't think he has a choice)
  • Well.....We typically reserve our friendships for Corpsman, but SeaBees and Bosun's Mates usually fight for second. And, it sounds like you've got a CAR. So be it; stand by. LOL :D
  • You know, I don't know how she did it, but my Mom had a way of getting my Dad to see things her way..... ;) And I respect her now for everything she didn't let me have the moment I wanted it. I know the how tough that is now with my kids, we all end up seeing things the way our Mom's said it would be, huh? You've already…
  • Born in Mississippi. Raised in the Republic of Texas.
  • I'm new myself and so far the tool, and the group, are AWESOME. Sounds like you've hit a mental wall. If you want a push, I'm happy to help! Some of my friends laugh, but here's something that worked for me a month or so ago and really helped. If you have a workout partner, have them silently direct your workout - i.e.…

  • Thanks everyone! I did't mean to be "that guy" for all you folks trying desperately to lose lbs. :$ I would gladly take them off your hands, if I could. I'm going to start with Egger's (great website) and Erica's (simple creatine tip) recommendations, but no pizza Niner.... I'm on a limited budget, so I can't go overboard…
