excited for you bro! been a long road it seems.
I think I've put on 2" on my biceps in the past week. not eating very clean, but I must've moved 5 tons of stuff by hand.
Can't wait to get my money from the sale of our house in two days. Slowing getting back into a daily routine. Still figuring out which gym to join since Gold's is too far away now...its an excuse to not drive 25 mins each way just to workout, and I don't need excuses
Still alive, and hope to have the home pc setup tomorrow.

Get some kettlebells and workout at home you wuss.
How exciting to be in your new place! Gotta love that!
Get your stuff together, and then you can figure out how you are going to set up your *home* gym!!!! :cool3:
Congrats again!!!

Malkore,
How is that new place of yours coming along? Hope all is well

Well we about have the basement setup, and as usual, it looked a lot bigger before we put stuff in it, lol.
I think we're holding off on cardio equipment and instead joining the 24 hour 'self service' gym just up the street, and buy a few more dumbbells for stuff at home.
I have a couple PTO days in early October and we'll finally be done with setting up the house, we'll cancel our Gold's memberships and do the Snap Fitness thing for a while.

Ain't that always the case...lol
Sometimes it just takes a little adjusting, moving things around till it all fits...lol
Glad to hear it is coming along though! You'll be all unpacked before you know it!
I'm still alive! They closed off the firewall at work some, making it harder to goof off on the clock.
Anyhow, we're mostly settled in, and I have a couple of vacation days this week. Today we are ditching the Gold's Gym membership and signing up at a SNAP Fitness like a half mile away (I could even walk there on the bike path a block away).
Also updating the DMV, getting new tags for our cars (just a coincident/killing two birds with one stone), and I gotta change my concealed carry license to the new address as well to avoid a misdemeanor.
All of this is on hold though as I await the sprinkler repair guys...we have a leaky control valve and I need the system winterized.
Life is almost back on track it seems.

Very cool! Glad to hear things are moving along....
You'll have to do something about that firewall at work....lolWe have a toilet we are switching out today, and then brush cut the yard tomorrow. Also getting ready for winter......
Been getting into the new gym kinda regularly now, at least for cardio (which I hate). But its getting to be more steady, and the plan starting tomorrow is to go in the morning, early, before work to get some slower/stead state cardio in, and then the evenings will be for either resistance training or additional cardio at a higher intensity.
we are also being better about what we're cooking. though the mrs. did make chocolate cupcakes for her birthday.
little update...just got home from a 30 minute cycling session at the gym. if your gym has 'expresso' bikes, you should check them out. kind of a fun way to keep up on things.
I think I'm gonna play on the Wii board later too, as we picked up Wii Fit Plus which replaces the original disc and adds more stuff, and more options like 'designed' workouts for set time periods. Then you're not constantly flipping through the menu just to get a 20 minute yoga stretch in, ya know?
If anyone else has Wii Fit, you should get the Plus that just came out. Only $20 if you have the board already.

Man, 6am came early, but I got up, downed a scoop of 100% ON whey, and headed to the gym to ride the expresso bikes.
I stopped at 5.5 miles, but it was a new track that was a steady uphill climb. Ride time was 29 minutes...about right for steady state, fasted cardio.
I gotta say, I feel like I'm starving today. My body always seems to crave more food when I start getting 'on the wagon' more.

Are you doing this together, it's cool if you are, it makes it far easier to resist temptation.
My wife made a giant flapjack (used a roasting tin) covered in chocolate icing last week. It's too nice to resist but it all contributes to the podgy area I call a waist
Yeah, I keep telling her "you're doing the exact opposite of what we should be eating" and she knows it.
Like many people, food is a 'coping mechanism' for both of us, though luckily neither of us has such a horrible life that we eat THAT much.
Tonight is probably a full body workout. hopefully the gym is empty enough we can do walking lunges without bothering anyone else.

Had a good upper body workout today, probably the best in a couple of months.
I fully expect to feel the DOMS tomorrow. Picked up some new under-armour locally and put in an order online at the outlet store. My company will pay for anything up to $150 a year if I let them embroider a logo on it. Just got me some free UA hoodies
