Chili's Frozen Meal
So, today for lunch I had Chili's - Frozen Dinner - Chicken Bacon Ranch, 1 Package (284g). It was supposed to be a treat for me just to try and if i liked it, maybe every once in awhile I would get it. I have to say, this is one of the worst things I ever have eaten. I couldn't choke down the last few bites. And that is…

55 lbs lost - New Man (Pic Heavy)
Okay people, I've been waiting for this day for a long time. I started over 2 years ago on this journey to find myself. I left the Army in 2009 after 8 years of service and gained 50+ lbs within just a few months. I found out that my wife wasn't happy and we were divorced within the same year. I had PTSD and was already in…

Distance Runners: OMG, what is that smell?
Well, I couldn't figure out why I smelled cat urine every time i ran more than 6 or 7 miles. It only happened a few times, especially since I'm just breaking into distance running. Who would have thought that the breakdown of amino acids in my body would make me smell like cat piss... lol. If you didn't know, which most of…

Am I doing it right? What can I improve on?

My Story -- I'm tired of settling
Well, this is a long story, and it’s filled with many different emotions resulting in me being alone and not willing to settle for simplicity. Where to start... hrmm... ok... my childhood.

Need Injury Advice
I still have this IT band injury. I'm not too sure at what extent, because I stopped running to give it time to heal. I can't really tell if its injured without running like 1/2 a mile, once I get to that point, then I feel the pains that are a sign to it being injured. I've been irregularly (meaning not everynight, but…

Have you ever went on a long run/workout, and when you get home, you barely are able to move, you pretty much become a lump on the couch. Well, your body is decreasing your activity level…

Bodyweight Fluctuation
Hi all, My body is very sensetive to any type of shock. My bodyweight fluctuates whenever I do an intense workout, especially with weights. If I somehow shock my body, I gain around 5 lbs. I'm expecting this to be waterweight, because I do drink my daily recommended water, and I'm very strict on my diet. However, If I do a…

IT Band Injury is killing me!

I did a bunch of research about what it could be and runners apparently develop an injury called ITBS (IT Band Syndrome). So, what I’ve found…
