Let's keep up with our workouts and nutrition here. Encouragement, advice, pics... let's get to it!

This is going to have less activity than one of the threads Tritone made.

I've recently gained 6 lbs and destroyed boxes of both Butterfinger and Raisinets on my way home from the bar last night.

My advice is don't do this. I feel like shit today.

I've stopped using sugar in my coffee, so I've got that goin for me.

Timely thread Gia for the end is near.

My advice.... Eat , drink, and fuck whatever you want as long as you bang out some squats, push-ups(yes, the self loathing type), and some hill sprints for at least an hour a day. This requires zero money. mix and match all three for that hour and soon you'll be the degenerate savage you've always wanted to be.

I took a hug shit to today. It sorta felt like exercise.

Just spent some time on the exercise bike. I was fucking drenched afterwards. At this point I may have been sweating Bacardi and Ketel One.

Meat : "I took a hug shit to today."
Ewwwww did it hug you back ?????

I had supper at KFC. The buffet. Grease !

Something with you niggas here and KFC.

There was a couple of niggas there. One worker female 400 pounder at least. One dude was ranting out loud about Obama destroying the coal industry. Just kept eating.

One of the Narcotics Anonymous assholes at my gym today was doing fucking curls in the squat rack. He wouldn't let me work in. There is a whole crew of them and they are all jailbird fucking losers.

i hate "the gym" because of shit like that. fucken meatheads...

Wait a minute. Wait just a minute. BDM, they got KFCs w/ BUFFETs where you are? Like all you can eat chicken, mac & cheese, corn and taters & gravy. Oh the gravy. KFC gots the greatest gravy. It shits all over Boston Mkt or Roy Rodgers gravy.

Yeppers ! Cole slaw, mac salad, navy or pinto beans, reg and crispy chicken, mashed taters, hominy or creamstyle corn, green beans, biscuits and corn muffins, gravy both brown and white, and 5 or 6 different desserts with at least one being a hot cobbler. I know I'm forgetting a couple other items as well. Oh and most of the time livers too. Damn good for 8.95 with drink. I pay a little under 8.50 with I suppose the senior discount.

I live 45 miles from the very first original KFC in Corbin Ky.
It's much like a museum and has good food too.

the livers and choice of beans really gives that story an other worldly feel.

You kiddin' ? It's the South dude......oh wait we are in another world down here thank goodness.
Greens too by the way ; I forgot them.

When I was in KFC the other day, a lineman in from Florida asked if they had fried okra. 17y/o looked at him like he had 3 head and told him, "No. Is that a Southern thing?"

"Nah, it aint a Southern thing. They got it in Georgia... and South Carolina... and North Carolina......."

Lineman dude was large (6'4?), so I had to make sure I didn't LOL.

I hope I didn't post this story already.

Of all the things they don't have in KFC up here, I am jealous of the cream corn.

How do you do curls on a squat rack? Sounds like a fucking asshole.

Okra turns up here at the KFC from time to time also. I guess they rotate vegetables. [there's a joke there I know] lol

I wasn't taking a shot at the south when I mentioned another world. It's simply different and no doubt better than the shit they serve up here. all the KFC food we get arrives via the same truck that carries the Pizza Hut and Taco Bell slop.

I was soooooo sad that our KFC added in a Long John Silvers instead of a Taco Bell. More blacks go to the amusement park than stoners I guess.

Long John Silver's fucking blows. Arthur Treacher's is better.

Never been to a Long John Silver's. The only time I considered it was when I saw they had a few choices of grilled fish. Sometimes you feel like eating some fish, but not necessarily cooking it. Btw, I appreciate how you assholes have tried turning this into a thread about shitty fast food.

Just did 30 minutes on the exercise bike and I am fucking drenched. I don't think I ever sweat like this on a real bicycle.

That lineman may have been my cousin no kidding. he works for Duke energy but then again linemen tend to be bigguns if they're non-union.

Anyway, for the best God Damn thing anywhere, get you some good fried okra and ladle some good creamed corn over it and eat it together. I don't think it would even come close in a KFC, because the fried okra has to be breaded in corn meal and cooked crispy not battered, and the creamed corn is not sweetened. I'm thinking the canned stuff is more to the sweet side.

My Memaw's "cut-corn" and fried okra was my desert as well as my two veggies for many years. It was divine. My Mom can do it, but it takes an act of congress to get it done.

Is he up here for the restoration effort?

I here the out of state guys get paid very well. $12k, plus room & board, plus hourly wage with a shit ton of overtime. and it seems as though most of their day is spent sitting around waiting to be told where to go. Today I saw 9 bucket trucks at the feed store, buying boots and gloves till the power went out, and another dozen across the street with a couple ancillary trucks. They were all there for HOURS.

They are now buiding temporary pavillions w/ cots to house them all. I saw some modular offices being trucked from the direction of Ft.Dix/McGuire AFB heading to the highway to get to the shore. Over Sized Load escorts and some type of sirened vehicles that were brown w/ a shield and writing on the doors. I never saw them before. Not local cops, not state troopers, not sheriffs dept. Didn't get to see the plates.

You rack the olympic bar in it with an amount you can curl. then you leave your towel on it like you're in the pen and rest two minutes between sets. Go wander the hall in your shitty gear, and act all pissed off when you see someone warming up with your weight. When someone asks how many sets you have , turn your back to them and say "six or seven" and make sure you don't let them work in. Talk fucking jail slang to your other friends who get a subsidized membership/live in a halfway house because none of you can get jobs that require you to be bonded. And never, ever ,ever do legs or cardio. just do tons of curls and bench. Make sure you go outside and smoke afterwards. Throw your butt on the ground to rest with the thousands of others that you loser buddies from the NA meeting toss there. Never move out of the way when people try to walk in to the rec centre. Remember, being polite to other people is a sign of weakness. And average citizens really give a fuck that you did two years-less-a-day for some shitty drug/theft/assault charge.

Just shank the bastard when he's at the water fountain.

As the OP, Gia, aren't you obligated to post some pics for the rest of us to, uh, monitor your progress? *cough* *cough*

After almost a year of physical therapy for an SI joint problem I got from going to Bar Method classes, I realized that pussy workouts only work if you're under the age of 25 and you're starving yourself (if you're a girl). So I took up kettlebells at my advanced age of 35 (now 36) and I absolutely love it. I need to work in some OL-style barbell work and I'm going to invest in a personal trainer for that so I don't kill myself. I'm definitely avoiding those Crossfit tards for sure; I can't stand working out with men trying to out-alpha one another.

Nutrition-wise, I'm trying to follow a Paleo/intermittent fasting approach...but I'm failing because I really love to drink and I'm out and about so much for work events and meetings.

Fuck Cultfit. Bragging about injuring yourself is for fags. My friend was a big fat slob his whole life and is now an instructor. Really? You learned perfect technique on olympic lifts in one seminar and now think you can teach it to novices?
I personally think intermittent fasting is a terrible idea. Food is fuel. Your body needs it. Maybe I'm being closed minded, but I eat when I am hungry, especially if i am working out.

I like the kettlebell stuff alright. So long as you get someone who knows the deal to teach you.

Preach. I have a great KB instructor who's all about proper form and heavier weights. I find the possibility that I may literally brain myself and/or my cat if I don't pay attention to good form to be a great motivator. People who brag about Rhabdo deserve to die from Rhabdo as far as I'm concerned.

As far as IF goes, there are two dudes that write extensively about this, Brad Pilon and Martin Berkhan. Check 'em out. The protocol isn't as insane as it sounds, and I follow Berkhan's advice that women do best with shorter, 14-16 hour fasting periods, which basically amounts to skipping breakfast. I'm not aiming to get below 17-18% body fat; I think the wiry, shredded look looks awful on women.

Treacher's is definitely the best battered fish/chicken place (I actually prefer the battered chicken) but who has access to an Arthur Treacher's anymore? Long John's does in a pinch. There are no fewer than twenty Long John Silver's restaurants in Singapore.

Thanks, Pinup. I'll def check em. That's a good point about kettlebells haha. And for your reading enjoyment.....

I haven't walked more than a mile in one day in over a year. Until yesterday. I did an 8-mile hike through Great Falls, VA. All I'm doing today is limping and hobbling.

I am doing the New Rules of Lifting deal again, just the 6 week hypertrophy 1 part. I am happy with the results. At 44, i still get decent results and I only lift 2 days. Work is making my weight plummet though. I pack a ton of meals but im getting skinny. Pinup, I gots Gia teh wimmins version of this book a couple years back. I love it.....
http://www.thenewrulesoflifting.com/

I am also doing a bit of yoga again. Didn't know whether to put this in youtube finds or here....

Damn kid. I figured with that shit you eat, you'd have chronic dysentery, and therefore not have a gut like that. Weren't you like 250 not long ago?

his parents must be proud.their gay chub is now a bear.

I think he's trying to brush that chest and belly hair into a pentagram.

mine actually looks like one naturally.

panzer is turning in to quite the gay bear

Pinupmutant!!! Girl, I'm so excited you're here!!

After a 6 week hiatus, I just started working out again. I got my tits done 10/17/12. 380 cc, saline unders, mod, pre-op 32A/B. Post-op 32 C.

My plastic surgeon allowed me to only take walks (no hills, no incline) for the first 3 weeks. It was really boring only being allowed to walk, and for someone who prefers walking to driving anyway, I sure got bored quickly with walking everywhere. I gained 10 lbs in recovery mode. It sucks. I feel like all the hard work I put into getting a hardbody 108 lbs which I maintained for two years is now gone. My ps finally cleared me for spin class and lower body weights last week. Until then, it was three weeks walking flat surfaces then two weeks walking hills until I was allowed in the weight room again.

I wish I could do Kettle. They had it at my gym last year and I really enjoyed it. Tatty's book about weights, along with my friend who trained me the same way, really changed my body for the better. Basically, lift heavy fucking weights. None of this pussy-ass 5 lb pink dumb bell shit personal trainers THINK gets women in shape. They know nothing. I worked the muscles hard (like a guy works out) and it got me tight slinky curves. But currently, I heard from other girls with implants, I shouldn't work my upper body for 6 months. I don't know. I don't want to chance it. So, I'm back to doing spin class and lower body stuff like leg press, leg extension, and squats with the bar behind my head. I felt like the biggest slouch when I missed the gym, and I was eating more out of boredom. Now I'm back to business.

Nice to visit this thread. Reading what y'all are up to will make it fun and keep me on track.

Panzer's too fat for his under-30 age. There are metabolic changes coming which could push the kid up to 400 lbs if he's not careful. I'm 6' 1", 185 lbs. and working to lose some weight myself. I could probably benefit quite a bit from losing 10-15 lbs. and if I could drop 20 I wouldn't mind a bit.

The Admiral's started DDP Yoga, so look out ladies.

This might be the first time the terms pre-op and post-op have been used here where the discussion didn't involve Christian XXX or Panzer.

I read that first time as "saline udders".

If you're having trouble reading you must be hitting the bottle again.

Alex, you've got to take care of yourself, you're going to have serious health problems. Buy a pedometer, they're only a few bucks, and see how far you walk every day. You might even be able to get one at the dollar store.

And no, a pedometer is not what Drew Black uses when he goes to a playground.

The pedometer's the natural predatory tool against care bear's twisted uncle.

Panzer, you're a disgusting pile of blubber and hair. It's amusing that your armpits are one of the least hairy parts of your upper body. Take many showers, go on a diet and get fucking waxed.

I've been sticking with my biking and walks. I'm down almost 20lbs and extended myself to an hour on the bike the other day. I was so drenched in sweat after that, that I looked like I'd been hiking in a rainforest. I'm taking a night off because I apparently fell and bruised my hip when I was out drunk last night.

Panzer, if you just ate halfway healthy and walked more, AND only drank water or tea instead of soda/sports drinks, you could lose 60 lbs without trying. You really should do it now while it's easy because you're young and won't have extra skin from weight loss once you're down to 200 lbs which is a good weight for 6'2" and your frame.

Man, I gotta fucking work out.
