That is good news that you will be feeling better and stepping things up soon. Somebody posted a note to you to NOT take aspirin. I wanted to make sure you saw that warning.

THANK YOU! I spent all day today fighting with my puter between running errands. I am exhausted. I woke up today and was not able to get online at all, not even with AOL. It finally crashed.

I was scared I would not be able to keep posting in this thread.

I think I fixed the prob now and am back on IE8 and AOL. Instead of dwnloading your advise I dwnloaded AVG FREE again for the upgrade. That program will stop me from clicking on a threat no matter if I use IE8 or any others. I am hesitant to dwnload the malware though, since I am finally runnin smooth I dont wanna mess anything up again. I tried to REP you but I have to wait for recharge.

LOL. I BBQ every weekend. Usually chicken or steaks. I cheated at Olive Garden yesterday, so I will not be cheating this weekend.

Just a joke. I can understand your disappointment FOR SURE and how you reached your disagreement with the rules, but PLEASE "mentally" reboot and move forward with your goals. Please put the locate on my thread and keep me updated with your progress.

I hate it when i'm sore the next day after a killer leg workout. People ask me if i'm okay left and right then some assume i dropped some eggs in my pants and give me a weird look.

But at least you know you had a killer workout!

Now you can have a sexy back and sexy legs. Killer combo!

**History in Effect** · 04-16-2010, 04:51 AM

I'm about to kill it on cardio this weekend. I'm going to play my heart out playing basketball.

I'm feeling it today though!

And cardio was sooo brutal since I've really started pushing it in regards to weights. My legs did not want to run for 30 min, but I made them anyways, ha.

I actually always do a set with just the oly bar. Its a good way to practice your technique and warmup before starting. Not silly at all!

**swindled** · 04-16-2010, 06:08 AM

I dropped off the face of the planet for a week, pretty sure I missed posting week 6

Sadly my thesis was still kicking my ass until Monday, so all I did was stay at my computer desk and work all day and almost all night...plus stuff my face...

So, I've gained it all back, and I'm pretty sure its not just bloat. Bad time to do this...but I got 2 more weeks in Toronto to workout, and then I move back to Saskatchewan and start with my PT and start rugby and football too..so hopefully I can start to lose fairly quickly. The move is going to mean a few days off from working out for sure though (although carrying boxes and furniture is kind of a workout). Going to pack food for the drive so I'm not tempted by bad foods I shouldn't eat, but definitely going to plan a cheat day for then too.

**Bear165** · 04-16-2010, 06:09 AM

"Why dont you eat chocolate?" is the most common question after some offer candy or chocolate and i decline the offer. Maybe i should answer "because i am diabetic.", would be lying but would shut them up

.

**GettingfitAgain** · 04-16-2010, 06:11 AM

Broke 210 lbs today. Down over 14 lbs since start of OBF. Next mini goal for mid May sub 200!

**tjwoody** · 04-16-2010, 06:15 AM

Morning...

Pretty happy with how things are progressing on my end. Learned to have a bit more patience and its paying off. had a legs with light shoulder workout yesterday. For delt focused more on injury prevention type moves like facepulls, and rotary cuf type moves on a cable. Felt good.

So I packed away my size 42 jeans and some of the 40s cause they are pretty big now too. Wearing 38s today and they are loose. if they had 37s I would try them but dont think they do. Going clothes shopping tomorrow for some jeans and shirts. I dont have anything that fits!

Good luck everyone!

**NorthTexasBB** · 04-16-2010, 06:35 AM

YES! feeling 100% better compared to the last 2 days....hopefully my sinuses dont kick up later today but right now I am feeling a ton better....last 2 days all I have done was sleep sleep and more sleep. I can still tell I have some pressure on my right side but its not nearly as bad as it was.

Going to attempt to make up for Legs/Back yesterday and maybe do some extra cardio for my lack of progress this week.

Only down a pound so far.

But what are you going to do when you drop another 2" from your waist at the end of the OBF?

Think positive!

You will win and you will kick ass!

Just sayin

Make sure you get some good pictures!

i would love to ball this weekend but i don't know if the weather will permit.(i'm not paying ~$10 for a day pass).

down to about 180/181. work slacks are getting looser which is good but also 'bad' since i'll probably have to buy new ones.

i've been limiting my carbs to breakfast/post-workout/and some milk in my pre-bed shake. now i just have to amp up the cardio and the fat will be melting off

**getbustered** · 04-16-2010, 07:52 AM

Got permission from the wife to do this. Need to get in a whole new kind of shape. Have until October, lol. We'll see if I can pull it off. This is like my ultimate dream, so need to figure out how to make it happen.

**niCe99** · 04-16-2010, 07:52 AM

**chipperd** · 04-16-2010, 07:57 AM

My father and sister are both diabetic. My dad (diabetic at age 22) follows the strict "old fashioned" rules of abstaining from candy, and faithful to splenda- as if one is safer than the other ....

My sister? Well...diabetes (diagnosed as a newborn and is 38 and healthy now) never stopped her from eating her chocolate- no way! and splenda? She wouldnt think of it. Those two people are like night and day.

But yes your comeback WILL shut people up cause society thinks diabetics cant enjoy those good things in life.

*Sorry, didnt mean to blab a long boring story about my family, lol.

**c0vjek** · 04-16-2010, 08:24 AM

Today was shoulder day

I feel great, up my standing press by 5 pounds
But there is a idiot next to me that is not paying attention and got me worried and had a bad feeling about it but i decided to go anyway.

So I'm about to jerk the barbell into the position [first rep for me is always clean and jerk] and as i jerk it this idiot bumps the barbell right as i was putting my arms under it and well after that my workout ended with bad elbow pains...

Sitting here with icy hot and wraped elbow thinking to myself how unlucky i am with my injuries

awe thats ruff man, hope it gets better by the end of the day!

I had a bad situation at the gym today too....doing my cardio and about 20 minutes into it a guy hops on the treadmill next to me reeking of cheap cologne and Axe. Could barely breath, had to stick it out for 10 minutes

What works for me is reminding the chocolate pusher that there is an acceptable amount of bug parts allowable in chocolate according to FDA guidelines, and bugs are not part of my current meal plan. Usually shuts them right up.

What is wrong with people these days? I've ran into some of the most inconsiderate people at the gym.

Just last night I was sitting in the sauna and a lady walks in and joins me. She's wheezing like crazy, and I just assume she had been working out really hard and was trying to catch her breath. As she sat there in the heat, she started wheezing harder. Before long, she started coughing. And blowing her nose. And hacking up phlegm. I got up and walked out, hoping she just had allergies. A couple of months ago, I caught the worst cold from a woman who came to the gym sick (except that time, she coughed directly on me and then proceeded to tell me that she had been sick for three weeks and unable to shake it!). I cannot for the life of me figure out why people come into a situation when they will be in such close quarters with others and seem to care so little about sharing their illness.

**2.0Tsunami** · 04-16-2010, 09:54 AM

I had a similar experience.

Remember all the swine flu business? Well, a guy at my gym was hacking away in the locker room. I eventually over hear him tell his friend that he was getting over the swine flu (WTF?). I'm sitting there wondering why the hell he is even at the gym. To make things worse, I go to the urinal and guess who's beside me? He finishes up and goes right out the door...DIDN'T EVEN WASH HIS HANDS!!!!!
