Hello fellow 'Nucks.

[Riggs75]

Morning everyone, feeling like a big bag of poo! I AM WIPED OUT!!!

I'z was literally down and out for 2 days . I felt like my entire body was pumping lead through it and slept and slept and slept. Finally decided to cut back on some of my hours at the part time job, I think exhaustion finally found me and it is scary.

You take care of yourself, I know from experience how sleep deprivation can wreck ya.

Evenin all. I just had some homeade extra lean hamburgers on the george foreman with sweet corn relish and whole grain buns. Talk about delicious.
Can't wait to hit the gym tomorrow too, haven't been there much lately because I strained my back last week

Also, my mother finally convinced me to try weight watchers. Anyone have any experience with it??

Too much wild and crazy in the bedroom huh? LOL. I actually really enjoy weight watchers, its the only thing I can stick with for any amount of time...dieting is not my strength and it allowed me the flexibility to still eat what I wanted and lose weight. Of course once you drop some poundage, you're gonna want to change up the diet in order to maximize your strength gains or whatever it is you're shooting for in the gym.

Hey, has anyone tried IF or the Warrior Diet...I am intrigued but don't know if I could fast like that daily?

Weight Watchers and SFL to me are not diets, they teach you better eating habits....I would try it, what do you have to lose?

I'm on it right now and am having great success! I too joined with the suggestion by my mom. I'm not obese but I'm definitely a lot bigger than I want to be and should be.

If you want to PM me with questions etc feel free! Just and FYI in 4 weeks I have lost 6.5 lbs and I haven't been starving at all! It's great!

I always had great success on it too, as long as I stuck with it, I lost a fair amount of weight quickly, wasn't hungry and had lots of variety....Oh and hi CF, how are ya?

[cactusflower]

Not doing the meetings and mom gave me all the stuff I need to do it, so it's not costing me anything. I figured it might be worth a shot to try something different.

Just saw this....the meetings are a HUUUGE help! They help you with tough times, and celebrate your successes. I couldn't do it without the meetings...they are such an integral part of the program. I have the unlimited meetings and online access...OMG it makes a big different! You may want at some point to join the meetings...they really do help and yes men go to them.

Lazyyyyyy. Fog makes me want to not move a muscle.

About your IF question, I did it for 4 or 5 months the summer before I started working with Joe, Absolutely loved it. A little hunger in the beginning but after that it was no problem. The only drawback for me was it wasn't a "lifestyle" thing, it was a diet.

Crazy humid here still, we got some rain last night but not enough to make anything better...garden is starting to suffer, might have to get the hose out but there are even restrictions right now on when we can water and how long.


Hey Canuckers, last night shift this week, hope it goes by quick

Ugh...nightshifts....only good thing about them is if the wife works you can usually sneak to the gym for a couple hours during the day without feeling bad about not being around.

I'm back to dayshift on Friday and it's forecasted to be 35C all weekend....great for wearing 30 lbs of gear all day!

Also...whats CSC?

Correctional Service of Canada, what dept do you work for?

[jetlynk]

It's been a while so I'd like to reiterate how much I hate doing AB's.


Now that that's out of the way, I went for a run today outside for the first time in over a year. Felt good, especially since I lap'd everyone. Was really hoping for rain though, at least we had overcast. Hope your shifts going well Riggs.
