Looking Back Five Years
I started my fitness journey April 14, 2010. I was 83lbs, and had lived the past 11 years under the thumb of an eating disorder. I started the Insanity program with my mom. I cannot believe how far I have come. I'm now a healthy, strong 134lbs. I deadlift over 300lbs. I can run a mile nonstop. I have two jobs doing the two…

Rabbit?
Im curious: 1. Can you buy rabbit in your area? 2. What is your area? 3. How much does it cost, and for what cuts (per lb, half, quartered, whole)? Same questions for: Deer Raccoon Goat
-
color?
The goat in my profile picture needs a new collar and halter. She is definately female. What color would look good on her? :)
-
names!
I have three ducklings that need names- a Pekin and two mallards. We dont know sex yet. I need a goat name for a male goat. He's a LaMancha, solid black except one small white splash on his side. Be creative-my other animals have names like Jean-Luke Picard, Percival, Dahlia, Darth Sidius, MiniMuffin, Betelgeuse. We dont…

T25
Yay or nay? Is it just Insanity without a warmup? Worth the price? Fun (i thought insanity was a lot of fun)?

Looking For Buddies
I deleted my whole friend list because they just never communicated. Id see them post and then theyd vanish for weeks on end. My frantic schedule is levelling out (at least for the time being) so im going to try and start lifting weights again when i find some spare time throughout the day. Hopefully this calm period will…

Gimme a break -_-
Really. Id like to work out. I enjoy it. But my days are all blurring together lately. 5:40am. Wake up, get dressed half asleep. Let dog out of room. Feed kittens. Feed bunnies, who are obviously starving as they are wailing and banging their food dish around. Feed brooder of chicks. Feed brooder of ducklings after mixing…

Well, shoot. :/
Looks like im on the weight loss wagon. I was powerlifting in a snappy size 5. Then life happened. Hubby got laid off. Started running a trapline for income. Started hunting. Still eating like a powerlifter. Hubby goes back to work after six months, leaving me in charge of 81 animals, a large garden, and the house again.…

Anything new?
I've been off the boards for a while. I come back and it looks exactly the same. A calorie is a calorie. Im giving up. Fat weighs less than muscle. Advocare/Shakeology/Herbalife Is Crossfit good? SOMEONE has to have something new to say by now! Come on people-lets see some motivation! (And maybe use the search bar, but i…

Playing Catch Up
Started again last week, then ended up missing Rcovery, Pure Cardio, and Plyo (tilling/making garden rows for 12 hours a day will do that sort of thing.) Missed yesterday because i needes the rest. So today and tomorrow im doing catch up (it works for me, dont go all alarmist on me). Im doing Pure Cardio, Power and…

Looking for pals
Im always up for meeting new people, but i get how dull it is to read the same things 10000 times fishing for friends, so heres a list of things about me. Think we could be buddies? Send me a FR! 1. I am 4'8" tall 2. I am left handed 3. I raise chickens. 4. I have an extensive vegetable garden 5. I have a full scale zombie…

Gimme names!
We rescued a semi feral cat several months ago-who promptly got back outside and got knocked up by a resident tom. Well, MiniMuffin is now mostly tame, albeit slightly insane. And this morning we woke up to the sound of new life. There was one stillborn, one nursing happily, and three that had fallen behind a pile of…

Really need some help!
I have a serious sinus infection with what feels like the start of strep. Hubby finally went back to work yesterday after a six minth layoff so we have NO money for a doctor visit. I need some damn relief! My face hurts from sinus pressure-i want to rip my molars out because my jaws hurt so bad. My tonsils are touching in…

Day One (again)
Okay, i was doing great-lifting, running, plyo....the works. Then hubby got laid off so we started trapping. That involved hiking about 15 miles twice a day, either carrying heavy traps or heavy coons (and at one point a 17lb opossum). Then it got well below freezing so we pulled the traps. And came inside to start…

Women's clothing
.Lovely ladies-suggest brands for my issue (i refuse to believe im the only one who has it). I'm short and "petite". I wear juniors clothes because womens never quite fit correctly. Too baggy, too high, too old. Im also muscular in certain areas (i deadlift a lot, and when you're pulling 300#, things happen to your traps,…

Looking for some motivating new friends!
Are you: Trying to break a PR? Attempting your first race? Just getting started? Awesome? An animal lover? Do you like: Short people? Guns? Muscle cars? Sarcasm? Then we should be buddies! :D im always looking for new people to befriend!

5k Times
What's your best 5k time? Best mile? I ran sprints throughout highschool, but anything over 1/2 a lap full tilt and im done. Pacing myself, i can make it 1/4 mile (so im a drag car-what of it?) My goal is to run a 5k without dying, puking, crawling, or walking in a decent time-except i have no concept of decent. I want the…

Equipment
I really really really want a squat rack. And a pull harness. And a large tire. Who has some at home, where did you get them, what did you pay?

Raccoon!
For everyone who followed the coon post a month or so ago (which i cant find now), we finally got several. Turns out-raccoon is almost exactly like rabbit. Heres what we did: 1. Get a raccoon. DO NOT trap or shoot a raccoon within five miles of a town or city-their diet will be trash. If you cant get one from the…

anyone LBEB?
I just saw the 12 days of lifting challenge on their website and was wondering if anyone planned on trying it? It seems like a great way to beat the winter blues and get some serious lifting in :)

Give me your best.....
Chili recipe! (Keep in mind i am Texan and there will be NO whole tomatoes or beans in my chili). We caught a 15lb raccoon yesterday that looked pretty tough, so a slow cooked chili seems like it will suit it. I have several old family recipes, but several are too bitter, others are soupy. I like a thick, dark…

gluten....meh.
After fighting a skin rash on and off for months, dealing with headaches that come out of nowhere, bad knees suddenly getting so much worse without warning, severe bloating after eating-to the point i struggle to inhale... a lightbulb clicked on. These things only flare after crackers. Or pasta. Or bread. Cinnamon buns.…

DA**IT I WILL BE HAPPY AND YOU WILL JOIN ME. write ONE thing youre happy about today! Me: I am happy that my chickens are getting over avian pox and eye infections. i am also happy that i am baking…

a word of warning
Yesterday was my deadlift day. Kind of a mismatched leg day. Anyway, i warmed up and started trying out my max. I only hit this max a week ago, so i wasnt really surprised when 2 reps was enough on all three sets. Then i moved on to squats, where my max is determined by how much i can clean and press that day (motivation,…

halloween costume?
I have a dr. Appt tomorrow, and i NEVER go without costume on halloween. Heres my problem: hubby was laid off last month and im pulling ideas out of my ear. I have dresses. I have an assortment of knee socks. I have a wide range of makeup (and a bottle of liquid latex if i can find it). Halp.

Dresses
I am trying on some dresses that i havent worn in years. They slip on like theyre greased. My lats look fabulous in the cutout back, and my glutes are amazing. I go to slip the dress back off.... And now im typing this on my phone, laughing so hard i am almost hyperventilating. Im stuck, arms overhead, in this dress…

Help me schedule
Alright, my coffee hasnt kicked in yet and im writing up my workouts for the next few weeks. I have a barbell, assorted dumbells, bands (stupid, worthless bands for the most part), pullup/dip rig, med ball, weight vest, ankle weights, rings, climb rope, tires, and heavy things to pull/push. I also havelots of running…
