Work it Out

[TheGameHHH]

im back today, im feeling better physically then i have in a few weeks. muscles arent as sore and the running is going well

[chili]

I went and had a followup body composition test at the local medical university. Over 14 weeks of diet and exercise I've lost 32 lbs of fat and gained 8 lbs of muscle mass.

[TheGameHHH]

early day today so im back, pushups tonight

[Jennitalia]

just finished...today was rough and i'm not sure why. yesterday i just did some pilates and core stuff. today i ran 2 1/2 miles. long day tomorrow.

[commish13]

How was it rough? Not enough sleep? Were you sore at all from yesterday's stuff?

[TheGameHHH]

just got back

[CousinDave]

I'm on a Schwinn Airdyne almost every day for an hour.

This is by far the best fitness machine I've ever used, have had one in the household since I was about 15.

Schwinn Airdyne (http://www.amazon.com/Schwinn-Airdyne-Upright-Exercise-Bike/dp/B000E158CK?&camp=212361&linkCode=wsw&tag=coudavspla-20&creative=380789)

I also get on a treadmill regularly and plan to have an indoor pool put in next year.

I do the Wii Sports Fittness test daily - today I was 59 (I can't hit the baseballs) hoping to get a Wii Fit soon.

[Jennitalia]

How was it rough? Not enough sleep? Were you sore at all from yesterday's stuff?

i've started new pilates tapes and other different toning things, and i guess i was just sore from that, plus i need new sneakers.

today i just wanted to stretch, so i did 60 minutes yoga. yesterday i did 5 miles walking

[commish13]

Very nice. I worked out for about 4 hours yesterday before going to the absolute STOMPING that Rutgers got. Some jumping jacks with 5 pound weights, about an hour and a half on the stationary bike, some squats, crunches, and then finished it off by running the steps in my house for about 20 minutes.

I was annoyed though because after the football game I wanted to go across the street to the parking lot and run sprints to get the taste out of my mouth, but I was dead tired, so I just slept, and my legs were too sore to do anything today. I guess I walked about a mile, but it was just down the street to pick up a newspaper for my father.

I'm just feeling a bit down today, and I really need to get my spirits back up to work out more tomorrow. I just can't stop checking the scale, and it's frustrating because I do it so often, and over the past week and a half it goes between 248 and 245 daily, and I feel like I'm making no progress.

[TheGameHHH]

i played golf today so i skipped my workout, i gotta do pushups in about an hour or so

great job! dont be so down on yourself. the scale is going to go down...it takes a couple of weeks for your metabolism to start going, and during this time, your creating muscle, which is heavier than fat. it also helps if you set smaller goals for yourself, and not just look at the big picture of what you want to accomplish (ie, i'm going to run/walk x miles this week, or i'm going to get below 240 by the end of the month) and reward yourself when these accomplishments happen. keep up the great work...and more importantly, KEEP EXERCISING - this will absolutely keep your spirits up. speaking for myself, i've been working out consistantly now since may, and i've never felt better. i can be the moodiest bitch (some may even say cunt), but exercise has curbed it to the point where i'm just a pleasent patty now.

[commish13]

Haha thanks. Yeah, I do always feel really good when I'm working out, but it has gotten somewhat frustrating. I've been overweight my whole life (not huge, but I've always been round and haven't been under something like 35% bodyfat since I was like 12).

I haven't been "in shape" since before high school, and once I got to college I completely fell apart. I didn't gain a shitload of weight, because I wasn't eating all too well, but I did absolutely nothing and got way out of shape to the point where I could barely walk up a flight of stairs without being out of breath. And then with my anxiety and depression I ended up leaving school last October (weighing probably 240), and by April I was pushing 275 and doing NOTHING.

Then my depression got worse and from May to late July I ended up losing 15-20 pounds just because I was barely eating, even though I was just laying in bed or sitting around all day most days.

I kinda just had a bad day yesterday though. They're much, much more rare over the past month and a half or so, though, so I guess I was just venting some frustration. By Monday I'll be fine and be happily working out as much as physically possible again.

Thanks for cheering me up though. I appreciate it, and stuff like this is why I come here now and rarely visit WB anymore.

[Jennitalia]

our stories are very similar, commish. i gained the freshman 15 in college, and then after college i packed on the pounds...it was an awful time, i didnt really know who i was or where i was going, i was in a depression for the last few years of my 20s. i'd work out and lose some weight, and then get bored with it all or not satisfied with the progress. now, even if i'm not in the mood, i'll go out and do at least a 25 minute walk, and usually that turns into something longer...i'm amazed at how it can turn my mood around by just doing that little. anyway, if you need to vent, or support, or just a kick in the ass, i'll be happy to help

sunday i walked for 30 minutes. monday i walked 5 miles, did 40 minutes pilates and 20 minutes belly dancing. today i walked 30 minutes, ran 2 1/2 miles, core exercises for 30 minutes, and 30 minutes belly dancing.

[commish13]

Ooooh belly dancing.

Anyway, I do agree that working out has improved my mood, but my depression came out of nowhere and for no reason I can figure out on Friday, and got worse as the weekend went on. I tried to do a little time on the exercise bike, but other than an hour I was able to do on Friday, I've been able to do pretty much nothing. I did some more of the push up challenge last night, but I've been intending to do more, but I can't.

The depression and anxiety came back HARD over the weekend, and it's only backed off somewhat today, but I still can't find it in me to do pretty much anything at all. Luckily I go to my shrink tomorrow and try to figure some of this out.

At least I have my new Betta fish to amuse me. It makes me giddy seeing him eat. Throw in a couple pellets, he swims up, grabs them, and then it looks like he's chewing.

His name is Mister Blufusch.

[TheGameHHH]

After 5 days off I got back after it hard today. From here on out its balls to the wall until Thanksgiving.

[CousinDave]

I managed to get a Wii Fit today.

I think my feet are to big for it. I wear a size 15D.

[Jennitalia]

From here on out its balls to the wall until Thanksgiving.


hot

[TheGameHHH]

hot

i knew you'd like that, i wrote it just for you. consider it a little treat

[TheGameHHH]

balls to the wall day 2, donezo

[oldladyfacepuncher]

balls to the wall day 2, donezo

Easy on the glory hole. Especially the one at the gym.

[Jennitalia]

i started doing squats, and my quads are crying today. did crunches, walked 30 minutes, and today, for the first time since college, i was able to run 3 miles.

[nate1000]

Still here.
Hour at the gym tuesday
45 in the pool last night
Hockey tonight
Gym friday
Hockey Saturday
Sunday- beat the wife and kids- great upper body workout.

[commish13]

That was unexpected. Beat the wife and kids. Made me legit LOL.

EL OH EL.

Anyway, I'm still not doing so well, but I'm trying. I did a bunch of sets of jumping jacks holding 5 lb dumbbells, and I started week 4 of the push up challenge, but I fell asleep on the floor before I could finish. That kinda sucked.

Oh well. Giving blood in about an hour and a half, and I'm walking to get there, so that's a good 5 mile round trip.

I'm hoping that will give me some motivation to get back into it as well as I was doing a couple weeks ago.

[TheGameHHH]

back again yo

[commish13]

Ya know, I was getting down on myself, but after giving blood and a nice 5 mile walk today, I'm down to 240 pounds today. And now it's time for the stationary bike.

[nate1000]

5-2 against the team right ahead of us in the standings. Now we're even, biznitches. Laid some f*%ker out behind the net- he still hasn't gotten up. It was a good night.

Off to the gym tonight.

Off to the gym tonight.

playing sports is awesome, hockey is pretty much the only sport i never played when i was a kid and i fully regret it. yet its my favorite sport to watch live.

i just joined a softball league, and while its nowhere near as intense as playing hockey, i look forward to every sunday now (well, also because of the NFL) so i can get out on the field and compete. keep us updated on how the season goes.

i just got back for kicking my ass at the gym today.

[Jennitalia]

done for today. walked 30 minutes, ran 3 miles, gave 9 massages/scrubs today. i'm beat.

[TheGameHHH]

i decided to go today for fun, some bi's, tri's, flys and shoulders with a 5 mile run.

[commish13]

Couldn't sleep tonight, so I went out at 2am and decided to walk until I felt like going home. I ended up walking 6 miles. Then I didn't want to stop, so I ran endzone to endzone on a football field 6 times, which was as much as I could do before I felt like my feet were going to fall off.

Made me feel quite good. I also rode the stationary bike for about 40 minutes in the afternoon.

[TheGameHHH]

my quads are insanely sore, i wish i could receive professional treatment on them like an athlete gets. or maybe i could use a massage (i'm looking right at you jenni), either way these things are aching.

regardless im back from the gym for the day, nice little start to the week.

[commish13]

Worked out a bit today. Walked about a mile (closest mailbox is half a mile from home, and I had to drop off some Netflix stuff), then I came home and did a bunch of stuff with light weights and one of them tension tube thingies, whatever it's called. Then I did 15 minutes on the bike going as hard as I could.

Twas nice, as I didn't intend on doing anything today, and came out with a decent little workout.

[TheGameHHH]

back again suckas

[Jennitalia]

i'll rub your vastii anytime :)

my quads have been bothering me, also, and i've been having issues with my feet (arches) and pectineous muscle (groin). sunday i went upstate so didnt work out. monday i didnt do my full 5 miles...only 3 1/2 plus 30 minutes belly dancing. yesterday i completely felt like crap and only did about 30 minutes toning stuff. i'm feeling better today, so i'll be running and doing some toning stuff.

[Soupy_Dreck]

i haven't posted in here in a while but the good news is:


I PASSED MY PHYSICAL AGILITY TEST!

situps - 33 in 51 seconds (needed 32 in 1 minute)
300m dash - 60 seconds (had 63 seconds)
83% body weight bench press - piece of cake
1.5 mile run - 12 minutes (had 14:08 to do it)

the 1.5 mile run was the fastest i've ever run it. never underestimate the power of running with a group and trying to stay with the lead runners.

i got back a little while ago, heavy day today.

[ralphbxny]

Ankle is getting better so I am starting back to the gym. Weighed myself today and I am at 220 and we did 15 min on the bike, 30 min on the treadmill, 100 sit ups. Starting light but I will be working up to a 10k in the spring.

[TheGameHHH]

Quads are getting better, nice day at the gym today

[nate1000]

Bumped the weights across the board last night- sore this am.

Hockey tonight, tomorrow morning, then again tomorrow night. Sunday- rest.

[TheGameHHH]

back and finished for the week, softball sunday.

[Jennitalia]

awful week for me. i ended up taking yesterday off and today i only did about 15 minutes core stuff. i dont know if i'll be out running/walking tomorrow b/c of the weather, but i'll be walking all day on sunday and i have 6 clients tomorrow, so at least i'm not totally inactive. i still feel like a lazy gal...gotta pick up the pep in my step starting monday

You'll do better, Jenn!
I've had a great week. I've done 200 minutes of cardio this week, which is my target. I've also hit a new record in benchpress - 315 4 times.
All in all, in 14 weeks I've lost 38 lbs of fat and gained 10 lbs of muscle. (according to 2 body comp. tests I had over the past 14 wks.)

[commish13]

I was pretty badass today. I spent about an hour beating the shit out of the heavy bag I finally put back up, and then spent about half an hour running my basement steps. Then back to the heavy bag for about half an hour, and then 15 more minutes running the steps. I also did about half an hour with the stretchy cable thing along with 5 pound dumbbells and did a bunch of different workouts with that. Good upper body strength training there. Then a little later, I did good full hour straight on the stationary bike.

Good day today. Off tomorrow because I'm going to the Rutgers game, although I will be walking about 3/4 of a mile from the parking lot to the stadium and back, so that's a little something.

Good job, Commish. :thumbup:

[commish13]

I appreciate it, mister chili. I'd call today a very good day. Woke up around 7, had some egg whites and a banana, worked on a music video that I have to finish about 13 hours from now, and cleaned my little half-gallon Betta fishtank. He seems happy.

Got to see my brother yesterday at the Rutgers game (which they won in a blowout, but they played basically a HS team), so that was cool. And the Jets won today, even though they tried hard to give it away. And the Mets collapse AGAIN~! Willie must be laughing so hard that his injury from sliding into second base last week doesn't even hurt.

And I didn't expect to do any working out today, because late Saturday night my massive workout from Friday got to me by way of incredible soreness, but as the evening began to wind down, I started feeling better and decided to get a little bit going. So I ordered the Ring of Honor PPV (which was awesome, obviously), and rode the exercise bike for an hour and a half of the 2 hour show. Then for the last half our I used the tension band with some weights and did all kinds of stuff.

The as-official-as-I-can-get-it run down on my overall progress is as follows: I started in earnest (eating well combined with exercise) around August 10. That's a little over a month and a half ago. I've lost 15 pounds (253 to 238). I'm starting to actually have arms that look like they belong on a man, my t-shirts are beginning to have shoulders to rest on, and my man boobs are slowly but surely becoming manly pectorals. Also, my pants are losing the snug fit around the waist they used to enjoy, and most of my elastic shorts need my hands constantly holding them up if they don't want to immediately fall to my ankles. So that's cool.

Only think I haven't noticed much, if at all, of a change in is my gut, but the stomach is the toughest place to lose weight. But I'll get there. I'm working on my stamina and it is very noticeably improved, so I'll be able to work that gut off as the months go by.

When I feel good and am proud of myself, I tend to write a lot. And since you all are all so nice about it, I feel comfortable and excited to give updates here. I'm glad I finally made RF.net my internet home.

sappy fag i am

[TheGameHHH]

personal best on the treadmill today, good lifting workout too plus some sit-ups.

[Jennitalia]

good day today, walking, pilates and bellydancing

[commish13]

Seriously.

We need a bellydancing youtube video from you already.

[nate1000]

Still here. Good workout last night.

Great game Friday- last game of the season, we were on the bubble for playoffs- needed a point. trailing 4-3 with 18 seconds to go, pulled the goalie, won a face off got a shot from the point, tied the game with 12 seconds to go and made the playoffs.

Unfortunately I blocked a shot with about 2 minutes to go and now have a grapefruit sized purple bruise on my left thigh- ugly looking thing.

[TheGameHHH]

5 mile run, bi's, shoulders, chest, sit-ups and belly dancing.

oh wait.....i dont belly dance. my bad

[Jennitalia]

you know you like to shake that thang.

finished today. running and some toning stuff in my room. i'm feeling peppy now.

[commish13]

Took a break today, but I did a bunch yesterday. Did 2 and a half hours straight on the stationary bike and a bunch of work with the resistance band and the 5 lb dumbbells.

In the next couple of days I'm gonna go get a better resistance band, some heavier dumbbells and maybe some other good stuff. The progress is good.

[TheGameHHH]

that was awful, im so tired now. but the workout is over and im finished for the day.

[Jennitalia]

i only walked about 30 minutes today. i was booked all day today so at least i was moving, but after work it was downpouring, so no run. i'll make up for it tomorrow

[commish13]

Did a good one today. Went down to the basement, put on the Phillies, and went at it. Beat the crap out of the heavy bag, did a heck of a lotta laps up and down the stairs, a bunch of crunches and pushups, some neck bridges to strengthen my neck and get my old flexibility back, and then worked out with the stretchy band and weights.

I'm getting a lot stronger both upper and lower body. Oh and I watched the last 2 innings of the Phillies' victory on that loveable stationary bike of mine. Feeling damn good. I'm getting addicted to this exercise thing.

rock on!

by the way, what is a neck bridge?

[commish13]

I'm sure it's probably some kinda thing they do in yoga or somesuch. It's an amateur wrestling move used in order to get off your back so you don't get pinned.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BHv37hWcIIk&feature=related

The dude in red is doing it. You can find a bunch of other clips on youtube, but this one is in action. I used to be able to get somewhat close to doing one that good when I was much younger. I got a lot of work to do.

[commish13]

Light day today for me. Took a 2.5 mile walk down to my mom's office to pick up my car that she's been using so I could go shopping, then I did that, came home and watched Glengarry GlenRoss, and was on the bike for the last 25 minutes, then I watched the first couple innings of the Phils game on the bike, a full 45 minutes.

I'm now down to 234 pounds and old clothing that I haven't worn comfortably in years is starting to feel mighty nice.

[TheGameHHH]

I had an abreviated running portion to my workout today, with due reason.

I live in South Florida and pretty much year round, it's hot as balls. The gym today was literally hotter then the outside tempature due to the air conditioning breaking. Normally I run 5 miles but after 3.5 miles today i was soaked in sweat and felt like i was going to collapse, i had to stop.

[Jennitalia]

did my 5 miles yesterday and a tape at home.

[TheGameHHH]

done for the week, what up?!?!

softball sunday

[Jennitalia]

i took it easy this weekend because my foot was killing me (i broke it a few years ago, and i was having bad pain in the area i broke it).

ran 3 miles today and walked 30 minutes. i'm off to do some core stuff and then later tonight i'll be dancing my ass off for 2 hours at the madonna concert. strike a pose, bitches!

[commish13]

Spent a couple hours on the bike last night, and I just got home from a 5 mile walk to get some plants for my fish. But I forgot the damn thermometer, and hell if I'm going to walk back.

[ralphbxny]

Ankle is getting better so I am starting back to the gym. Weighed myself today and I am at 220 and we did 15 min on the bike, 30 min on the treadmill, 100 sit ups. Starting light but I will be working up to a 10k in the spring.

Looks Like I pushed it too to much. Hurt my Ankle again. Back to just walking and upper body! I am so fuckin fustrated!

[TheGameHHH]

fatty pig fatty this weekend and softball was rained out, i need to step my game up a little this week. today was a good start.

[CousinDave]

I hurt my shoulder last night while Rhythm Boxing on Wii Fit. I used to box and even qualified to go to the Seoul Olympics - I didn't go, I knew I would have gotten my ass kicked. Guess I'm getting old.

[TheGameHHH]

back again

[TheGameHHH]

did the whole gym thing, holla back young'n

[Jennitalia]

done for today!

[nate1000]

Still here. Good workout last night at the gym. Finished round 10.

[TheGameHHH]

if there was ever a day that flew by at the gym, today was the day

[chili]

Was out of town for the weekend and didn't get to work out. In two days since I've been back I've done 50 mins on the elliptical one day and woke up at 4:45 to lift this morning.

[TheGameHHH]

alllllll done, looking forward to a nice weekend

[Badinia]

Hi there! The weather JUST turned to crappy and rainy here, so I am forced inside to run on the treadmill- but did four miles this morning. My goal is around thirty miles a week. Getting back into running is always the painful part, but after a month I am already in notably better condition, as far as stamina goes.

[Jennitalia]

awful week. my old broken foot has been bothering me so i'm still not back on track. i did run today, though, and it seems to be ok. will be dancing at madonna again later

[Jennitalia]

walked 6 miles with my guy today. gorgeous out!

[TheGameHHH]

all done for the day

[Jennitalia]

finito

[outlawfrank]

for the last month i have been training for a sprint marathon in the spring. I am right now spending a whole lot of time in the pool and on the bike. I am still a fat bastard and will destroy my knees running.

I am part of a masters swimming program which is for swimmers 30 and over. And when I swim it like a tug boat moving through the water. Nothing stream lined about me. Yet. I am swimming 1500 meters per session three times a week. On the bike I am pedaling about 15 miles per session three days a week.

Two of my sessions are brick sessions. Where I do 15 miles on the bike followed by 1500 meters in the pool. At some point I am going to have to incorporate the running. That will be a catastrophe.

[Badinia]

It was warm out this morning, so I got to ditch the treadmill and run outside! Ran four miles, got coffee, walked a mile home. Here (http://nikeplus.nike.com/nikeplus/?l=runners,runs,1692721356,runID,540480919)is the chart of my run.

[Jennitalia]

90 minutes of cardio fun. i'm going to do some toning stuff during the new 90210 later

[TheGameHHH]

i am all finished

[Badinia]

I ran five this morning, biked to work, and tonight need to work on a tap routine for an audition Friday!

I should totally weigh eight pounds, and not nine hundred.

[TheGameHHH]

little late tonight but got it done

[Badinia]

Ran five-and-a-half this morning, but did not get to ride the bike in. Sad face.

[Jennitalia]

got in a nice hour long walk today

[Jennitalia]

good day today

[commish13]

I've been doing well. I'm officially calling my weight 225 right now, and I'm actually able to do a neck bridge. Can't stay up for too long without my hands on the floor, but I'm getting a much better back arch. I really gotta start working on my neck and back strength.

Oh, and I'm finally beginning to develop pecs instead of tits, and I have a hint of biceps, and I can vaguely see real traps forming. It's amazing.

I'm just really trying to get rid of my belly and fat thighs. But it's progressing slowly.

[TheGameHHH]

nothing for me thursday and friday, i have a "friend" spending the weekend so ill get my workout in other ways.

[Badinia]

4 miles today, bringing my total mileage to 200 miles since August.

[commish13]

Kinda skimped yesterday - I don't remember if I did anything at all. And then today I ate a big roast beef sandwich and a bunch of lasagna.

But I think I made up for some of it by having a pretty intense workout session from about 8-11 tonight. Bunch of work with the tension cables, some pushups, crunches and flexibility stuff, and a new idea for the stationary bike.

Generally when I get on the bike, I do it for about 45 minutes, take a quick break and then go for another 45 minutes. I think a better way to do it is in 10 minute sprints (I don't know if there's a better word for it than that). When I would stay on for a long amount of time, there would be a number of times where I'd get tired and slow down significantly, and pretty much waste my time. So now I go as hard as I can for 10 minutes, take a short break, work on some other stuff, then go back for another 10 and repeat a bunch of times. I did the same 80-90 minutes as usual, just split up and working extra hard in sets. That seems like a good game plan.

Feel good tonight, but now I gotta get back on the mostly fruit diet and start working out harder if I wanna get down past 225.

[Jennitalia]

done for today. i've been trying to do more yoga and pilates. thursday is my first try on for the wedding gown, cant wait to see the difference.

I tried Bikram Yoga on friday and it was amazingly awful. They lock you in a room thats heated to about 115 degrees and you do all sorts of Yoga postures for 90 minutes. Halfway through I thought I was going to die and I had to lay down on my mat for the rest of the time. Have you ever done this? Its fucking unreal.

I'm back from the gym for the day, rough getting back in but im glad i did it.

Halfway through I thought I was going to die and I had to lay down on my mat for the rest of the time. Have you ever done this? Its fucking unreal.

I'm back from the gym for the day, rough getting back in but im glad i did it.

a friend of mine is really into bikram, i think he even competes. he was always sweaty and he decided to give up deoderant, and he was somewhat smelly; i cant imagine sitting in a room like that

[TheGameHHH]

i just got back from the gym, tired as balls.

[Jennitalia]

work's been getting slower, so i've been doing some toning and yoga in my room. so even though i'm going to be poor, at least i'll have jiggle free abs :)
and i had a good run today. ran intervals, the goal is to kick my metabolism in the ass and decrease my time for the run, eventually increasing mileage.

[TheGameHHH]

kicked my ass today, loved it.

Jenn, wedding dress tomorrow......let us know how it goes.

[commish13]

Jenn, wedding dress tomorrow......let us know how it goes.

With pics. Cuz we're creepy that way.

[TheGameHHH]

With pics. Cuz I'm creepy that way.

fixed that for ya, Jezo.

[commish13]

Fair enough.

[commish13]

Oh, and I had a nice workout this morning. About 3 hours worth of different stuff. Officially, I've lost 28 pounds in 67 days.

[DOHO@HOME]

Careful or you will waste away to nothing.
I only go three days a week for an hour or two.

[commish13]

That's the idea. I'm 5'9'', 222. The goal is 197 before January 1, and then after that I want to lose some more and tone up.

[DOHO@HOME]

Good for you and hope you get to your goal.
Don't you feel better now you are working out I know I need it for stress and some of the eye candy is nice as well:wub:

[JPMNICK]

That's the idea. I'm 5'9'', 222. The goal is 197 before January 1, and then after that I want to lose some more and tone up.

thats a good goal, best of luck reaching it

[commish13]

Much appreciated. I look and feel much better. Thankfully, I very much enjoy eating well and working out, so it's been pretty easy for me. I wish I'd have started it sooner, but oh well.

[nate1000]

still here.

need to change the routine- not feeling it as much anymore...

no one on the corner has swagger like me, i kicked ass today.

[TheGameHHH]

done son............yay weekend

[Jennitalia]

did a bunch of toning stuff at work today...lots of ab stuff.

tried the dress on, and it's looking awesome, except for the fact that it's totally huge everywhere on me...it's at least 3 sizes too big on me and they dont start alterations until january, and by then i hope to have dropped the last 20.

I dig it. I'm only gonna use the workout stuff, though. I'm not consistent enough, and I'm also too lazy, to keep up the eating six times a day diet. My way has obviously worked out well so far, but I do want to vary my exercise routine, so I'm checking that out.

Lost another pound and a half by the way. Almost under 220 for the first time in years and years.

you are sooo kicking ass, commish. fucking awesome, keep it up. it makes me feel as if there's hope for me.

[commish13]

Let's see... hot chick, wedding coming up...

Yeah, I'd surmise that there's more than hope for you.

This is just ridiculous though. My gut is crazy noticeably smaller, and abs are beginning to show that they want to exist. I really wish I would have done this sooner. Fat people who complain about their weight suck. It's really easy to lose weight.

i disagree, everybody's body is different.....physically and mentally. whats easy to some isn't easy to others.

[Jennitalia]

what had been hard for me over the years was that i was just a miserable fuck and couldnt get or stay motivated. i just looked at the big picture and was just overwhelmed at the huge number of pounds i needed to lose. once i just broke things down and set mini-goals for myself and saw and felt the changes in me physically and psychologically, it became much easier. i'm at the point where this is the most consistent i've been as far as exercising since college. i actully enjoy it.

that said, i'm done with my run this morning...kicked my ass because i was a little dehydrated. now i'm going to cancel this all out with an afternoon of drinking and rooting on my steelers!

[commish13]

i disagree, everybody's body is different.....physically and mentally. whats easy to some isn't easy to others.

Well, yeah. It took me a very long time to get mentally healthy enough to get physically active again, but I'm talking about people who are simply lazy and complain about their weight and deny the fact that they overeat like motherfuckers.

Although to be fair, I was always a good athlete when I was younger, and all I needed was the mental health and motivation, and once that was in place, my athletic abilities have made it very easy for me to lose weight.

Oh, and my goal has changed. It was originally 197 by Jan. 1, and now I'm looking to drop 20 pounds and get down to just about 200 by Thanksgiving. It was a brainstormed idea/challenge from my younger brother. Last time he saw me before this weekend, I was 30 pounds heavier. I'm not going to see him again until Thanksgiving, and I figure I can lose close to 20 pounds this month. I'm in much better shape than I was when I started, and I lost about 15 pounds a month in the little over 2 months I've been working at this.

I've got a month, and tonight begins the journey.

[Badinia]

I ran five miles yesterday, five today- today I ran with my friend and we gossiped and it was effortless and fun- hot tub after!

[TheGameHHH]

lifting and a 5 mile run today, donezo.

[Jennitalia]

no running for me today because i hurt my sartorius muscle yesterday. (sorry, but ever since i took all my anatomy/neurology/myology/pathology classes for school i'll always use any opportunity to name muscles).

did some walking today...had doctor appointments today so time was limited. tomorrow at work is dead, so i see lots of toning and pilates with cardio scheduled for tomorrow.

[Badinia]

Where is your sartorius muscle, smarty?

[TheGameHHH]

All finished today but it wasn't as satisfying as it normally is. There is a cold front moving in over south florida and it dropped the high today to 68 degrees (which is sadly now officially cold to me). since no place down here invests in heat the gym had to be 65 degrees when i went. even though i did my normal workout i didnt really sweat all that much because it was so cold in the gym. i just didnt feel like i busted my ass as hard as i could have due to lack of sweat.

[Jennitalia]

Where is your sartorius muscle, smarty?

http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b168/Jennitalia23/SartoriusAnterior.jpg

sartorius is the longest muscle in the body and assists in hip flexion, hip abduction, lateral rotation of the knee and flexion of the knee. so if you cross your leg so that your lower extremity looks like the number 4, you're using sartorius in full effect.

[commish13]

Holy cow i'm using my sartie muscle right now!

RAD!

[commish13]

They're calling me the 219 kid these days.

[Badinia]

Awesome!

I ran 5 this morning- would like to get another 4 in. I am coming in on the end of a fitness contest and am trying to figure out where to work in some extra!

[TheGameHHH]

all done for today

[Jennitalia]

i did absolutely nothing today.

[nate1000]

Bumped the weights across the board last night- feeling it a bit today. Also did a half hour of laps in the pool to stretch out after the weights.

[TheGameHHH]

kicked ass today

[commish13]

Very strong workout this morning.

[commish13]

And here's an update from right after I was finished --

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v335/the86melon/Of%20Me/103108.jpg

SEXY BEAST

[Badinia]

HAR! Thanks for sharing, Commish-

Ran 4 1/2 miles, a little faster than I have been.

[TheGameHHH]

commish, you looking gangsta......keep it up

im all done for the week, also weighing in at an all time low today. holla holla holla

EDIT: After further thinking im sure its not an all time low, i was born at 7 lbs. 6 oz. and if i weighed less then that now id def. be dead. lets say "new" low instead.

[commish13]

I guess the mileage I walked tonight counts. I walked all over NYC tonight, and had so much fun heckling people walking by the outdoor cafe-ish place we were at that I lost track of time and the only way I had to get home was the PATH back to Hoboken. Then I had to walk another 4 or so miles from there to get to Weehawken where my car was parked at the ferry terminal.

I probably walked close to 20 miles through the whole night. Best Halloween in a long time.

[commish13]

Took the weekend off because my feet were sore as fuck from Friday, but I kicked off the week strong today. Even after a lazy weekend that I capped off with eating a large amount of london broil (marinated and delicious), I weighed in today at a whopping 217 and one half pounds.

Feeling darn good.

[TheGameHHH]

Started the week off right, a good day today at the gym

[nate1000]

Me too. Still getting used to the heavier weight. Ouch.

[commish13]

Part way through a good workout this morning. Just wanna do a few more miles on the bike and then I'll be satisfied with the day. I have a feeling I'm going to knock my heavy bag out of the ceiling sometime soon, though. I'm gonna have to tighten up the screws.

[Badinia]

I ran 4.25 this morning, I am almost at my goal of running 40 times in 8 weeks!

[commish13]

You better reach that goal. Otherwise I'm gonna walk up to Oregon and sucker punch somebody from behind and tell them you did it.

[Badinia]

Har! Well, I have to run one more time before Saturday, and I plan on running every day- so I think I'm good.

(suckapunch) Badinia did it! (scoot!)

[commish13]

The proper thing for me to do would be to sucker punch, point you out as the perpetrator, then yell "yoink!" and dash away in a comically cartoonish manner.

Down another full pound today. I'm a badass. 217.5 yesterday, 216.5 today.

[Jennitalia]

nice commish

done today. did some stuff in my room at work, had a nice walk and some belly dancing tape.

i dont really do as much arm stuff, but i've noticed my arms have become very toned since massaging. my brachioradialis rocks! i do need to work the triceps more...something i will start concentrating on now as well

[Badinia]

my brachioradialis rocks!

Oh no! I hope you're on antibiotics for that.

[commish13]

You silly goose that's just her forearm.

[TheGameHHH]

i made it back earlier but got caught up in the election stuff and forgot to post.

[commish13]

Feeling lazy this morning. Went to the therapist and had a great talk, and now I just wanna chill out and watch some netflix. I'll do a little bit tonight though just because I'll feel guilty if I skip a day.

[commish13]

Fuck it. I just ate 2 Kit-Kat bars.

YUM

[cougarjake13]

fff

[TheGameHHH]

bust it bust it

[Jennitalia]

i had no appointments today so i did bunches of toning in my room.

[nate1000]

Apparently, I tweaked my shoulder the other night- had to back off on weight last night cause of a little pain.

[TheGameHHH]

late night tonight, but a good day

[commish13]

I was walking down the street moments ago, and somebody yelled out to me "Hey, you look like you weigh 215!" and I yelled back "Odd you should say that, because I do!".

I've lost 15 pounds since October 2.

[Badinia]

Awesome!

Tomorrow is my weigh-in for the contest I'm in, and it's a weird feeling. I've done all I can, and now I'm just waiting for results.

According to my home scale, I have lost 26 pounds since Sept 9. Is that the most out of my group? I don't know.

I did elliptical this morning for an hour and watched Forgetting Sarah Marshall on the Ipod.

[commish13]

It better be the most. Otherwise I'm coming up to Oregon and I'll sucker punch you.

[TheGameHHH]

wow, what a week. done

[commish13]

TWO HUNDRED

and thirteen pounds.

Getting down to 200 by Thanksgiving is gonna be a cakewalk.

[Badinia]

Oof, I lost 10% of my bodyweight in two months and it wasn't enough to win that contest!

That's OK, I'm doin' good. And the girl who won looks a little like the Holocaust.

I was out of town doing comedy this weekend but still did two five-mile runs, this morning's in the hotel watching Pretty In Pink.

[nate1000]

Still here.
Killed it Friday night in the weight room.
Hockey on Sat night- 1.5 hours no subs my legs are still shaking.
Sunday- rest and watch the bills suck.

Back at it tonight.

[commish13]

Kinda lazy today. Just sat on the bike and watched The Assassination of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford. I guess I wasn't THAT lazy, since the movie is almost 3 hours long and I rode the bike for about half an hour before that as well.

But I did nothing else. The weight is still falling off of me like crazy though.

[CofyCrakCocaine]

Ugh. Very tired today. Should workout, but have a million reasons why not. So I'm gonna go to the gym anyway, fuck me and my bullshit.

Lifted last night, so gonna rest period with mostly cardio exercises tonight.
Plus they'll have football on the treadmill tvs tonight so that'll help me stay focused.

I miss Ron and Fez 6-9pm. They were a great motivater to get to the gym at 6.

[commish13]

excellent work brotha, its been great seeing new faces in this thread. im proud of all you've accomplished thus far, you look great. and buy some new clothes cause that shit dont fit no more.

im all done for the day, another late night work out due to work but im glad its done.

[commish13]

Great day today. Bike for about 15 miles, then attacked the heavy bag for 20 minutes, some flexibility stuff, and then 8 more miles on the bike.

I'm juuuuust above 210. And to think, 3 months ago my goal was to get to 197 by January 1. And I still have over 2 weeks to reach my 200 lbs by Thanksgiving goal.

E-A-S-Y

[Badinia]

Commish, you're doin' so GREAT! I am so happy for you!

I just started doing weight training and am a little sore today, so I didn't go to th' gym, and will just ride my bike 12 miles to work an' back...

[TheGameHHH]

ive been busting my ass for two straight days now, looking to make it 3 tomorrow. stepped everything up at the gym this week.

[Jennitalia]

great job, commish.

i've been bad. i hit a slump, mostly because one of my cats is really, really sick, and it's just killing me. i havent done anything in about a week, other than walking. i know sitting around in misery and getting fucked up isnt going to help my li'l bear, so tomorrow my intentions are to get back on track.

[Badinia]

I'm sorry to hear that, J- but sometimes a little physical activity can clear the head and help you cope with hard stuff going on. Take the time for yourself.

What am I, Oprah? I dunno. But you might feel better.

[commish13]

If it makes you feel any better, Jen, I gained 5 pounds in the last 24 hours. I worked out hard yesterday morning and got down to just over 210, but then last night I ate a shitload of spaghetti, and then I did minimal working out today and then finished the shitload of leftover spaghetti. It's not my fault, I'm Italian.

I hope your kitty hangs in there. I was sad when I almost lost my little fishy, but he made it through. I really hope your 'lil one is gonna be alright.

[TheGameHHH]

oh man, this week is beating me into the ground.......hope it pays off at friday mornings weigh-in.

[commish13]

Went old school today. It was like I was wrestling again and was a few pounds overweight at the weigh-in. Put on a heavy sweatshirt, threw the hood over my head, and pounded out 40 miles on the stationary bike.

Got rid of about a pound every 10 miles. Back down to 211.5. Good enough for me. Now the test is 13 days long. Can he make 200 pounds by Thanksgiving Day?

TUNE IN NEXT TIME, SAME BAT DAY, SAME BAT CHANNEL

[TheGameHHH]

i got in my gym time today, of course i went out to watch the Pats and ate 16 wings so i probably ruined it but whatever.

[nate1000]

good workout wed.
hockey last night- took our first loss of the season.
Back in the gym tonight
hockey first think tom. morn.
Rest Sunday.

[commish13]

i got in my gym time today, of course i went out to watch the Pats and ate 16 wings so i probably ruined it but whatever.

Ha ha! Pats lost. Even though the Jets did everything they could to try to give the game away.

I got rid of the rest of the pasta weight, and I'm down to 210. Right back on track, and I'm feeling fantastic. My new goal is to be able to get a solid neck bridge to the point where I can touch my nose to the floor. I came SO CLOSE today, but couldn't quite make it. It's gonna happen soon.

Happy workouts, everybody!

[Badinia]

4 mile run today, a little faster. Bit-by-bit. A little faster.

[TheGameHHH]

holy mother fucking hell.......that was vicious, but awesome. im all done for the week, im gonna spend the weekend relaxing

[commish13]

25 strong miles on the bike today. Now I'm treating myself to a DELICIOUS smoothie.

[TheGameHHH]

nice to get back into the swing of things today, this is my last full week of working out before i stuff myself silly next week during Thanksgiving. here's to it

[commish13]

Haha awesome

Took a day off today. worked my legs way too hard yesterday, and was spaghetti-legged all day yesterday, and they were feeling kinda weak today. tomorrow starts the 9 day journey to lose 10 more pounds before Thanksgiving.

[commish13]

I am very, very happy with what I did today.

Love ya.

[TheGameHHH]

what up bitches and bitchettes............2 for 2, doin my thang

[commish13]

Who's the man?

WE THE MAN.

Down to 208 after yesterday. Tired. Taking the day off. Maybe I'll do a little upper body work later, but not much.

[CofyCrakCocaine]

30 minutes cardio, 40 weights. Fun workout tonight.

[TheGameHHH]

sometimes i forget till late at night to post here..........

max out day today on the weights, 5.25 mile run. solid day

[Badinia]

Oof! I been sick. Took some sick days. Getting back on it tamorrah. So today, I just rode my bike twenty miles.

[commish13]

Nice. Oh, and everybody knows it's spelled tamarrie.

[nate1000]

Cold laid me out Monday & Tuesday, but I was back at it last night. Still suffering from symptoms, but the only time I felt good yesterday was when I was working out.

[TheGameHHH]

Are you guys taking daily multi-vitamins? ya'll seem so sick all the time

[nate1000]

Are you guys taking daily multi-vitamins? ya'll seem so sick all the time

Yep. My problem is a seven year old daughter and five year old son.

[commish13]

Haha. Kids'll destroy you, and somehow they don't help out your immune system for when you become an old man. It's so selfish and unfair.

[nate1000]

Haha. Kids'll destroy you, and somehow they don't help out your immune system for when you become an old man. It's so selfish and unfair.


That's why I punch them in their sleep. It's so cute the way they wake up all confused and in pain.

[TheGameHHH]

Fuckin killed it today

[commish13]

That's why I punch them in their sleep. It's so cute the way they wake up all confused and in pain.

HAHAHA fantastic.

Did 30 miles or somesuch on the bike today. May have been more. I don't remember. All I know is that I'm down to 207. I'm THE MAN.

[Badinia]

WHO da man?

YOU da man!

[commish13]

WHO da man?

YOU da man!

yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

[Badinia]

4 miles on treadmill. Dance rehearsal tonight.

Would have liked to run outside, but it was frosty and I'm a wuss.

[commish13]

BAD inia. Bad, bad girl.

Man up, put on some gloves and run outside.

[TheGameHHH]

normally fridays are rough to get through but i think the fact that its my last full week before the holiday coupled with my excitement of going home to see friends and family made me cruise through my workout today. great day, holla.

[commish13]

Lost another pound and a half today. 205 and one half pounds. This is wonderful.

[nate1000]

Hockey Friday- broke my f'ing skates.
Gym Sat am.
Hockey Sat nite- hate the new skates.
Sun Rest.
Back in the gym tonight.

[TheGameHHH]

short week this week with the holiday and all, one day down and one to go

[commish13]

Stupid giving a double dose of platelets. Wasn't allowed to work out yesterday. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[Badinia]

Ran and did weights today. Am living on a little weight-loss plateau, unlike the Commish.

Stupid Commish.

[TheGameHHH]

I am all finished for the week, time to shower up and hop that plane to Jersey

[commish13]

Ran and did weights today. Am living on a little weight-loss plateau, unlike the Commish.

Stupid Commish.

Yeah well at least your heart isn't in tremendous pain thanks to long distance love.

But I do rule with the weight loss. I'm back up to 207 because I ate a very healthy portion of meatloaf on Sunday and didn't get a chance to work out over the weekend, or yesterday, so I'm trying to make as much of it up today as I can, but I've been busy today and haven't gotten a whole lot done yet. I'll spend a bunch of the night doing what I can.

[commish13]

Well, I tried. I'm down to 202.5 poundages. I worked HARD last night and today, but I'm just out of energy. I came close to the 200 pound mark by Thanksgiving, and at least I gave it my all.

Now I'm done with all physical activity until Saturday. The big no pads Thanksgiving weekend tackle football game looms ahead. I'll probably take off Sunday as well after the beating I'll get Saturday, and then start working off the Thanksgiving poundage on Monday.

Yay me

[commish13]

FUCKIN RIGHT I'VE DONE GOOD WORK

now i'm gonna fatten myself up so I can destroy some bitches on Saturday.

You'll get off that plateau. I was stuck for a while in the 230s, but I got past it. GO GO GO

[Badinia]

I'm at 206. Let's post pics at 200.

[commish13]

Full body. Head down to at least knees.

[Badinia]

This is getting kinky.

[commish13]

I'm just being thorough. Not kinky or dirty or creepy at all.

I mean, I am all of those things, but it was not the complete intent of the prior statement.

[commish13]

Down to 201 pounds after gaining 6 or 7 over the holidays.

I'm THE MAN.

[TheGameHHH]

back on the horse today after taking off last wednesday through sunday, minus intensive running on friday during our annual day after thanksgiving football game.

it felt really good to get back, i cant wait to drop the excess weight just in time to gain it back over christmas. ive been stuck at 179 lbs. for at least a month now, maybe since i shocked my body last week ill be able to shed some more weight.

good work commish and badina, keep it up.

[commish13]

Damn you, Game, damn you. I was supposed to play football on Saturday, but 15 of the 20 people who were going to play dropped out.

Oh well. I preferred talking to my MI girl for 16 hours that day anyway.

But I'm going to surpass my goal of 197 way before January. I'm probably going to get there tomorrow or Wednesday.

YEAAAAAAAAH

[nate1000]

Killed it in the gym last night- followed by 45 in the pool. Workin off the turkey.

[commish13]

Bad ass, Nate.

Can't wait for my pal to graduate from college in a couple weeks. Then we're hitting the gym up for real and he's gonna teach me the ropes. And I'm gonna have HYOOOGE guns.

And my god, my quads have gotten quite thick and muscley with all the stationary biking I've been doing. And my calfs have always been awesome, but now they're more awesome.

I love this thread. You guys are the bessssssst.

What's your progress, my dear Badinia? It's been a few days since an update from you.

[Badinia]

Hi guys!

I ran my four this morning, and did three runs over Thanksgiving- but I have not been near the scale since we determined that the Commish and I are racing to 200.

I guess now I know that he's hit it, I can weigh in tomorrow.

[commish13]

I kinda didn't end up doing anything today. My loving woman woke me up with a text at 8:15, and by then I was awake, so I went grocery shopping, and then talked to some people while waiting for my girl to call me up because she had her phone for a few more hours, but she was in class so I had to wait. But then we talked for like half an hour longer than she had, and then she had to bring her phone to whatever phone place and she won't have it until some time Thursday.

So I didn't bother doing anything today because I was busy waiting for her, then busy talking to her, then busy talking to other people while waiting for her to get out of class.

Workout resumes tomorrow. I guarantee under 200 pounds when I'm done.

Love ya Baddie.

[TheGameHHH]

done..........what up bitches

[commish13]

Stupid girlfriend. Was too busy talking to her yesterday to get a workout in. Although somehow I was even busier today, but I was able to get in a good couple hours on the bike, but no time for anything else.

Which means I'm only down to two hundred and one half pounds.

DAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMNNNNN YOOOOOOUUUU

Tomorrow becomes 200 pound picture day for me.

MAYBE EVEN a shirtless comparison of 232 pounds and 200 pounds. But I'm thinking about the wellbeing of you people. Don't wanna blind nobody.

[Badinia]

Oh goodness, Commish is a good pee away from 200.

I am living at 207, like normal.

Bike and dance rehearsal today. Comedy had me out too late for morning run.

[TheGameHHH]

I just got back, feeling good. its nice to start back up a full week.

good luck with everything commish, im pulling for you. though i have no desire to see you shirtless.

[commish13]

Haha, I know. I still might do it anyway just for the laughs. The pictures of me at 232 are hysterical.

Even though the chick doesn't want me to get all thin and sexy. Maybe I can be like Samoa Joe and be a fatso who has good conditioning.

Killed it again last night. Switching up the routine again- went back to the barbells from the dumbells last night. I knew it would be easier, but I was a little surprised by how much more weight I felt comfortable with. Started with the equivalent weight and it felt way too light, so I bumped up till I felt the burn.

Anyone have a recommendation for a lower pec exercise? I've got my upper pecs covered, along with the shoulders, I just need something to target that lower pec region to define the cut. Whattya think?

[Badinia]

Checking in, still doin' it, run run run.

I have no pec advice.

[TheGameHHH]

All fattys don't bother losing weight you'll never get Marc's approval.

[Badinia]

Yeah...send it to your long-distance lady.

Post us a pic with your shirt on.

And pants also.

[commish13]

Damn, I was hoping I was gonna be able to get past that and take a pantsless shot.

And yes, my girly got multiple pictures of me sans-shirt.

Here's one in a new dress shirt that's a bunch smaller than the other one I showed, but I took it right out of the package and put it on just to check if it fit. It did, but it looks bad because it's not ironed.

Killed it Friday nite. Hockey Sat morning, skating lessons with the kids sat. afternoon, then hockey again Sat nite. Pretty much had my skates on all day saturday.

Back in the gym tonight.

My weight is going the wrong way again, but it is muscle this time, so its OK. I'll race you to 194, commish. Sittin at 188 now.

[commish13]

You're on, fella. I guess that means I'm gonna have to stop half-assing my workouts because I spend most of my time talking to my chick. And I did nothing over the weekend, so I'm back up a bit over 204.

So you've got 6 to gain, and I have 10 to lose. WAR TIME BEGINS!

[TheGameHHH]

donezo............easy ass monday

[nate1000]

Done. Bumped the weights. 189 on the scale (post workout, though- I drank a bunch of water)

[commish13]

I guess I'm gonna have to get some good work done today. Wanna get down to at least 202. Hopefully 1 or 2 more will fall off with it.

[TheGameHHH]

finished earlier today but had to run into work so i couldnt post after my workout.

[Badinia]

Commish, you've made amazing progress!

I went on a bidness trip to El Lay. I tried to use the exercise room in the crappy hotel, but I had to leave because I was concerned I'd be murdered.

So I'm behind.

[TheGameHHH]
