Whoops! I've gotten myself into a bit of a random "pattern". I haven't been running much, more walking, this past week. Need to get back into that pattern... Saturday I did a lot of walking, I took my family to the zoo and did some walking for four and a half hours, kept out of the sun, etc. I've been getting into drinking more and more water and less soda, though that Saturday I did start the day with two cups of coffee, where I did witness the truth of caffiene (gah, sp?) making you pee more, 'cause I needed to stop at every other exhibit. Still, lots of fun mixed with lots of walking. I've been working on my stomach muscles more recently, doing 30 sit-ups while watching TV. I did at least 80 yesterday in the course of an hour and a half, so for me that's not too bad. I plan to pick up my running this week, so I'll keep you all posted.

Happy Awesome Birthday!

Hope your birthday was incredible and fun!

Sounds pretty cool. I love a good KH remix, there's not enough here. Keep it comin', this one has great potential!

I can't make it. My work schedule changes during the summer, and I'll have just started that new schedule in the middle of June. Boss needs everybody during that time, and he can't give me the time off. It was a nice thought to meet some of you guys, but maybe something'll work out later in the future.

Happy Belated Birthday, The Damned! Now stop complaining about an absence of your birthday thread! (jk. Happy belated.)

I remember playing this game with great satisfaction. The music, I don't remember all that much. This remix is awesome. I've been listening to the album itself, and it's filled with ear-candy galore! I'm hooked, I'll be listening to it for a while. Great job on this one guys, I am very happy to have a new, incredible album to listen to at work.

I'm pretty sure there was a unanimous vote that personalized b-day threads were to be no more. I may get in trouble for it. But if you'll notice, no one wishes anyone a happy b-day anymore without them. I even tried using the thread that was created just for that purpose. and only Coop noticed. So eh...whatcha gonna do? 'Sides, JJT's birthday was announced site-wide and I thought it appropriate, if nothin' else. So, JJT, again, happy birthday.

Happy Birthday! So long, and thanks for all the mixes.

I did not know that. I knew that drinking soda while trying to lose weight/excercise in general was not a good idea, now I know why. While I'm on the subject, is it the same with diet drinks? I can't even touch regular Pepsi or Coke without Diet on the lable. The taste is just so much crisper and fresh Diet. Is that okay, or do I need to start thinking of something else? What kind of drink and/or soda would be appropriate in my efforts to slim?

I've been having a little trouble myself, Steben. Like I said before, I injured my right hand, which limited my activities to nearly null. I got some decent excercise at work, but because of my recent handicap, even that has been limited. I've needed help at work every night or I'd rip my hand open. On the top side, I went running this morning for the first time since my first run a couple weeks ago. Granted, I didn't get very far (I think I ran for about four minutes total-my record time cut in half. sigh.) But that's something, right? As I've said before, keeping a place like this to record my progress has really helped. Thanks once more, Steben.

Happy Birthday to me! 27, baby.

Mission accomplished. Pictures tonight.

Well you guys may remember that on Wednesday I got myself a nice, deep cut in my right arm that incapacitated me for a while. I'm healing, but I haven't really been in good shape to excercise the way I want to. After this weekend is over, I should be back on the road. As I've said, I don't plan to do too much to start off with. I'm hoping to get some good running in and on a good schedule by the end of the summer, so here's hopin'.

Well I've gotten myself into a fine mess. Excercise will have to be postponed (at least for the most part) I have a deep laceration in my right thumb that requires little to no work done in order for it to heal. I can't even get into work until Friday. Wish me luck fellas.

At five in the morning, with less than five hours of sleep, I saw a lot of 'fuck' in that post. Anyway, there's a good rain going on. I'm goin' for it, though. Wish me luck. edit: Epic failure. The rain discouraged me. I didn't want to get sick, but I went out anyway. I took the car and dropped it off about a half-mile away from Wal-mart, picked up a couple things there, then walked back and stopped at McDee's for some breakfast burritos. I got in about a mile's worth of walking, AND I countered it with breakfast. No good.

Thanks for the advice and encouragement, guys. It really helps to be doing this in a group where everybody's got a set goal. Heh, I'm really starting to feel the muscles I worked yesterday. I'm looking forward to a burning summer

Man...some pretty good plans out there. I don't know a lot about working out and dieting, but I have been cooking my own food a lot more, much less eating out and a lot more physical activity, in and out of the house. -=ahem=- Anyway, I've been on a roll today. After my run this morning, I've discovered how much harder I worked. It's been a while since I've been out running last (at least a year) and today I've just felt so energized and happy, it's crazy. If this is how working out really feels, I'm gonna try to run every day just to feel like this, 'cause it makes me feel wonderful. I'm definitely looking forward to seeing this through all the way. My schedule will be changing in about a month, however. School's gonna be out and the custodians will be heading in to work at about 6:30 in the morning. Anyone have any suggestions for the best time to take an evening stroll?

Hokay. My first entrance is: jogging for about eight and a half minutes without stopping. That's actually pretty good for me. I had to stop for about ten seconds so the neighbor's dog would stop trying to rip my legs off. Note to self: NEW ROUTE.

Whoooo boy. After seeing some of the body pics here, I'm convinced you'll see none from me. No way. You will, however, have my participation in this program, which I greatly approve of. Maybe for once it could get me motivated. I weigh in at 260 or higher. Proabably higher. I'm at 6'2, so 210 or 200 would be a much better weight for me. I don't really know, I'm not knowledgable about weight and height stuff. I'm also not a gymnast, nor a runner, I'm pretty much in the worst shape of my life and probably in the worst shape of anyone here. My personal goal, to reach by August, would be to jog around my neighborhood for at least 20 minutes at a time. If I can make more than that by the end of the summer, I'd be fucking shocked. So, count me in, and I'll fave this thread so I'll see it every time I open the 'net. Thanks for setting this up, Steben.

I saw it last night. Wow. I had a chance to sit around and wait for an hour to watch it, but I caught it at the last second and got in right before the previews. I should've waited...the theatre was SO packed, we had to get into the nosebleed section and the top right, where the sound didn't hit us. The bass was nice, but the voices were strained. I'm definitely gonna go see it again. Awesome, awesome, awesome. The story, the acting, the action, everything about this movie was fucking fantastic. Especially the end. It kinda figures that Hollywood's "Bad Motherfucker" would make an appearence. I can't wait to see what happens next

Awesome. Epic. Granduise <-word? bah) Absolutely breathtaking and incredible. Some of Star's songs I like, I love most, and this one, I LOVE. Go check out his other works which are oh-so-notable.

Man I'm in bad shape. I was speedwalking as I was dusting the hallwalls in my school here, and the front muscles of my shin/ankle area were starting to kill me. It's been like this since forever. Anybody got some good tips about how to strengthen those areas?

That's doable. Sounds like a plan in the making for me!

Count me as a definite -maybe-. Our funds are kind of limited right now, but if we can squeeze in the money needed, we'll be on our way. As soon as it's in our hands, it'll be in the mail. Now is the 48 (we'll just say 48 for now) count as a ticket for two, or will we need two 48's? (cause the wife is interested in coming too)
