Is the not so exact science of calorie tracking/logging driving you bonkers? Any Type As or ISTJs?
I'm a very strong Type A personality or ISTJ for those who follow MBTI. Many times I'm over analyzing my numbers and I know I am stressing myself out. I'm a true ISTJ, so I like to track everything and facts are the law. I'm driving myself bonkers by trying to make an exact science out of the not so exact science of…

Another... "I'm new again" chap.
We've all seen it before and some have seen it in themselves. We get where we want to be and then slack off. I did just that and have been MIA for 3 years. My support group has dwindled to just a few people. I'm back into it and hit the ground running, but I need my support group! I'll return plenty of support in return!…

Random funny gym moment.
had to share, every time I went to do a set I would bust out laughing when this guy walked buy...it's funny and all, but it definitely killed my rhythm.

"New" Again....
I'm finally back on here after being MIA for 8 months. I totally just fell off the wagon, I was in a new relationship and I wasn't strong enough to make the best choices and let my routine fall to the side. Long story short, I'm back and lost a few really good supporters after being away for so long. So I need to build up…

Vegan trial?
I'm seriously thinking about going on a 10-day vegan fast. I've been on the same diet for a very long time. I'm interested in trying something new.

MFP.... High School all over again?
Anyone notice that we all form cliques on MFP? Every time I go to a friends profile.. we all share the same friends. On the message boards, if someone picks on one of our MFP friends... the rest of the clique comes running in to back them up. Pointless post... but just something I've noticed on here. Feels like high school…

HRMs and Interval training...
I'm curious what ya'll think... how accurate do you think HRMs are with interval training? When I do my interval runs, my cals burned are ridiculously high.

Awkward Moments at the gym?
We've all had them! You're lying if you say no! I have two to add to my growing list... First... I was passing by a trainer and his client, while the trainer was taking his measurements.

You favorite Tasting Protein?
What's your favorite tasting protein? My go to proteins are: Banana Cream Whey from the Vitamin Shoppe and my all time favorite is Syntrax - Matrix 5.0 Cookies & Cream.

Light-headed, fainting feeling when standing?
After my long runs in the mornings, I always get light-headed, the room darkens a little, and I feel like I'm going to pass out after standing up from a seated position.
