The chuck is the neck and shoulder of an animal. So a chuck roast will be shoulder meat, which gennerally is more fatty and tough than better cuts but has pretty good flavor.

I shall consider myself edumacated. I think chuck must be an American term, we just call the cut a shoulder over here.

I only have 32 or so, not enough to down a beast of such proportions as myself I'd wager.

let's not wager....

Nice to see some some proper football being played outside of the states

Interdasting, you can buy a shoulder of pork or a shoulder of lamb. Meat is confusing.

It's played all over Europe, largely amateur though, there are only a few semi-professional teams. They generally only pay imported American players.

Hope everyone is doing well and have had a good week.

Move back home after year ended. Gained 35 lbs in 3/4 months (now ~200 lbs) and still battling bulimia.

I can see how throwing up would get to be a vicious cycle, contemplated it a few times but even doing it when I'm sick absolutely terrifies me.

Agreeing with Schnitzl, find people battling it too, I bet there are many. Because so much is in the mind maybe it's better to address that first?

I had a 6 month affair with binge eating, mostly salty junk food and it only happened about 2-3 times a month but worked on ways to stop them before they started. You have to find what works for you.

Probably a good idea...

There is a thread in the Nutrition Section where you can ask for help and/or talk to others who are going through this or have gone through this. Good luck to you.

DDR might not be cool anymore, and embarrassing to play, but it still gives a hell of a workout.

Just learned that I can't grill fish (it all fell apart)

And go light on the cayenne seasoning.

I'm thinking about going back to lacto-vegetarian soon. I did a stint as Vegan for about 6 months and lost a ton of weight. I was still able to keep my strength to and I felt fantastic all the time. The only non-veggie thing I would eat is whey protein (hence lacto-vegetarian) to get some of that in my system. Other than that, I just ate strictly vegetarian.

I never felt as sluggish as I did eating tons of animal protein. Still thinking about it though. Difficult to go vegetarian when your roommate is the biggest carnivore on the planet.

Yeah, I think most people elsewhere just call int a shoulder roast or something similar. Some stores here will just call it a shoulder roast as well but the techincal term in the meat industry is "chuck". Not sure why. Eitherway, when people say "we're making a roast" most places in the world it's most often a chuck/shoulder roast.

A rump roast here may also be called "bottom round". Rump and Chuck are similar in flavor but rump roast is a little more tender.

In freezing Finland it is called meat. Moose? No just meat. Pig? No just meat. Bear? No just meat. Wolf? No just meat. Neighbour? No just meat.

In other news: I ate only after BJJ today and boy was it fun. I got a good ~20h fast in before breaking it.

[Superher0Soul]

workout complete. and for the first time in YEARS I jogged today. Sure it was extremely difficult, and I thought each step was gonna make me die, but I pushed through. I wasn't able to do it super fast, or very long, however I did what I could. Gotta start somewhere.

unsolicited advice on the way: start with walking. all that banging on your joints is sure to mess something up. walking for the first couple months will help to gradually build tendon strength to then support some light running, maybe.

Edit: on a positive note, congrats on getting out of your comfort zone...the motivation is, well, motivating.

Agreed but when u are ready to start jogging I recommend one of the running apps I did 5k runner for iPhone I started out having a hard time even going for 30sec and in 8 weeks took me 11weeks I could do a 5k supper awesome training app.. I'm about to do the 10k trainer in the summer

I joined my gym about 4 weeks ago, and have been doing 25-35 minute walks on the treadmill 6 days a week between 2.3 and 3.0 mph. I knew I had to start slower and get used to the movement and exercise that I haven't been getting for the past, well just about all my life. Today I did my usual walking routine, but threw in 3 90 second spurts of 4.5mph jogs. Trying to still do it short times but pushing myself to become better.

Thanks for the positive words though, it's the type of thing that makes me work hard each day to be a better me tomorrow.

Oh, I see. I thought you went out and forced yourself to do a 4 miler. Nice work.

[Lizz83]

... as it stands we lost 25% of the initial starting field. That's 38 people total. It was actually a little more, but people from the waiting list are now back on so it evened out a bit.

Wait, there is a waiting list?

[AlwaysABear]

Why was the 2nd weigh-in on the 6th? Am I out now? ffs

[matman1813]

Weigh-ins are on Sundays.

[Sidewayz8]

ha ha. no, no sir. 4 miler would def kill me.

[krete77]

Wait, there is a waiting list?

Yes, with over 25 people on it. Competition has been capped at 150 people.

[krete77]

You submitted late. Weigh ins are every Sunday starting yesterday. You're not out, I just haven't updated the spreadsheet. Submit on time and this won't be an issue.

[Lizz83]

Oh, thank you. Seems like I missed that info before but good to know for next competition as well.
