I lifted today too! Did seated overhead dumbells, got 105 for 4 wooooo!
I FAP'd. :p I need to exercise again and resist the fatty foods at work. If I just eat my Special K at work i lose weight when i don't well... I don't lose lol.
One girl today was like "just eat special K and I swear to god you will lose 10lbs!" Her friend was hot though, sometimes new years brings good things HA
Got back into the gym Monday, been eating good since yesterday. Weighed myself at 200 lbs, I want to try and get down to hopefully 175 by May, and then just stick to it through the summer, I should be good.
Eating is going to take a lot of time to getting used to :l
Why would you need to get used to eating if your trying to lose weight?
Been lazy through the holidays with my diet. Still hitting the gym 5 days a week but the lack of strictness in my diet is killing me. Sitting at 19.5% bf so I'm considered average but don't want to be average. Even now I've got a good bit more muscle on me than most average people so I'm gonna use that to my advantage.
Getting back into it hard. Sitting at 225lbs right now. Gonna stick to around 1,8xx calories per day. No pop, no fast-food, limited sugars/carbs
Gym days
Because it's more how you eat. Optimally you should eat a small meal every 2-3 hours to keep your metabolism up. Most people simply eat 2 to 3 large meals throughout the day.Quote:

Lol nice catch. Damn I'd be dead in a weekQuote:

It's not even close to as good for a number of reasons. First, you have the issues with energy spikes due to an influx of high glycemic foods and other nutrients, usually followed by a crash. Second, there is a MUCH better chance that your body will use up most of the 400 calories before storing the excess to fat vs. 2000 calories. Third, it slows down your metabolism to gorge on food with a big meal, and then go without anything for 6 or 7 hours in between. Then there's the impact on maintaining/building muscle. As I mentioned in my last post, muscle tissue is made of nothing more than amino acids/protein. Every time you train with weights (or even exercise rigorously), you're causing microscopic tears in your muscles. Your body wants to repair that tissue and bring it back stronger/better than before to deal with what you're repeatedly throwing at it. In order to do this, it needs protein/aminos. It is best to keep a steady stream of protein coming in to make the most of this repair process. Not to mention every single function in the human body requires aminos to operate properly. IF your body doesn't get those needed aminos from an outside source (food) when it needs them, it goes into what's called a catabolic state (muscle depriving), at which point it is forced to take the proteins from your muscle tissue (which, as I said, is just comprised of aminos). In other words, you're eating away at your own muscles. This is why a lot of girls who starve themselves can get really thin, but their skin still looks flabby as hell. They're loosing weight, but they're doing it by loosing a lot of muscle as well as fat, thus leading to what I call the "Paris Hilton body" look. The best way to avoid this and stay in an ANABOLIC state (encouraging muscle growth) is to keep a steady stream of proteins coming in so that your body has an outside source to supply it whenever it needs it.Quote:

Lol sold my GTP about 3 months ago. Couldn't afford the gas since I'm driving about 60 miles per day for school/work. Rocking a 95 civic with a B16a swap now. Not the prettiest or fastest thing ever but it's hella fun to drive. Weighs 2,200lbs and has a whopping 170hp.
Still have a soft spot for them though so I'll probably pick up another after college.
Fair enough.
manual?
If so, that's probably a lotta fun.
Of course. That's the only way to go with a 4 cylinder. I can't wait for spring. Gonna do a little auto cross with itQuote:
