St-Jean Baptiste!
On this, the eve of the feast of the birth of St-Jean Baptiste (QC), many québécois are preparing their bonfires and foodstuffs to celebrate this important martyr in the Catholic Church and patron saint of the province of Québec! Although he was beheaded (a good way to lose approximately ten pounds, btw), his feast day is…

LTL Friday, 16 June
All right folks, Since I missed last Friday due to celebrating my 10th wedding anniversary (no offense, but y'all were the very last thing on my mind :wink: ), I made sure to remind myself to update this for you today! I loathe, abhor, and despise the summertime: I hate heat, bugs, sweat, yard work, even the friggin'…

LTL - Friday, 2 June 2017

Each weekday, a new topic is offered up for discussion. Newbie? Join in! Veteran? Join in! Your thoughts may be just what…

Trying to get back on the wagon...
So a friend of mine, well, she's a rather large woman. And by large, I mean really, really, unhealthily large. She was recently diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes, and she has made a complete 180 over the last year or two. She actually competed in a 5k run last weekend - her first! She logs her activity on MFP each day, and…

keeping motivated
Having a hard time keeping motivated with my workout routine. What are some tips you guys use to force yourself to working out when you really don't want to?

5 months...
It had been 5 months since I had last gone to the gym. I've got tons of excuses, but obviously none of them are good... So yeah, it felt nice to get back on the ol' treadmill and jog away to some Judge Judy...

SNOW!
Anyone got snow yet? Not sure where everyone lives, but up here in Michigan we're getting dumped on :) Shoveling the walk the old-fashioned way sure is a great method to get some cardio going... Anyone else enjoying nature's benefits today??

It's been a long week...
We've been crazy slammed at work this week, so I (regrettably) have not been to the gym even once! But I did manage to keep my head and eat healthy foods all week, so I still managed to lose a bit of weight - I'm going to call that a success! I keep telling myself to make working out a priority, but my actual priorities…

SILENCE!
We've all been pretty quiet this week... What's going on? How are all of you fellas doing?

A Fat Man's Haiku
Hate the way I feel. No time to work out today. The struggle is real.

Fourth Week of December Challenges...
Still working on the planks. Hit a bit of a bump in the road what with Christmas being just around the corner and all, but hey, trying to my best to keep up - yeah, I'm a little behind where I'd like to be, but I'll manage to catch up at some point. I'm really nervous about going out of town for Christmas - I leave…

Third Week of December Challenge...
GAH, I totally BLEW it last week. I don't even know what the deal was. I was super busy at work, and I had my students' finals to deal with, so yeah, not a great week for getting healthy and doin' planks... Anyway, here's my plan for the week, which is really just a repeat of last week since it sucked so badly. Planks...…

My Challenges for December 2014 - feel free to join in on the fun!
Hey all! I'm setting up some weekly, monthly, and seasonal challenges that I'd like to share with you guys - and if anyone wants to join in and do these challenges as well, the more the merrier! It'll at least give us something in common to talk about on this rather inactive board... I'm working on planks for the month of…

Second Week of December Challenges...
So yeah, a bit of a rocky start - woke up late two days last week and ran around like a crazy person all day, and therefore I was not able to keep up on the planks as anticipated. It seems silly that I couldn't find a minute or two both days to keep up, but hey, it is what it is... Anyway, my personal challenge for this…

Staying Motivated
Hey fellas! I'm having an extremely difficult time trying to keep myself motivated; I wondered if any of you had any tips or tricks that help keep you on track. I try my best to get to the gym for treadmill training (working my way through the C25K app) three times per week, but I think I'm failing most miserably at…

Any runners/joggers here?
Hey guys, I've recently begun jogging/running, and I wondered if anyone had any ideas about speed, specifically, how fast is a good jogging speed? I've currently been averaging between 4.5 and 5.5 mph, but I wondered what my ultimate goal should be. I don't ever anticipate running a 6-minute mile, naturally, but what speed…
