i finally recovered from yesterday,but that 4 miles in 59 minutes,wore my as out yesterday,the only reason i got out of the recliner,was to get a bite to eat..ive noticed that whenever i push the envelope a bit,i always sleep like ive took a couple quaaludes,im talkin,deep sleep,the kind where when you wake up,you feel energetic,optimistic,and are ready for some action.....sooo,after some bench presses,liftin over my head,etc,,i grabbed the 20 lb blocks,and was headed to the mailbox,when i realized that 40 pounds was no longer a challenge,so i went to work and finished puttin the handles on a couple 35 pounders....if youre doin this at home,although copper is easy to work with,it aint worth a shit for a handle,get the strongest wire you can find...and now,after a big breakfast,of scrambled eggs,mixed veggies,cottage cheese,and decaf,im ready to see if i can make it to the mailbox and back,carryin 70 fkn pounds....'keep the continue'
..well,that was harder than i thought itd be, had to take a break,at the bottom of the hill,and twice more,on the way back up it...im goin to challenge myself, to carry the 35 pounders to the mailbox and back,without takin a break,its not that my arms get tired,but the rest of me breaks down,hehehe.....everything goes back to stamina...if i weighed 200 pounds,theres not a doubt in my mind that i would have made that hill,without stoppin....before i started exercisin,when i would hear athletes or coaches talkin about 5 or 10 pounds,like it made a huge difference in an athletes performance,i thought they were makin excuses,but now i realize that 10 extra pounds,is a lot of weight....the only time 10 or 20 pounds doesnt matter...is when youre sittin on the couch!!! OUCH...'keep the continue'
6 ft, 190 lbs. I am only 23 so it is probably much easier for me than some of you older vets. This morning I went to the track and jogged 2 miles again. My target time was 15 minutes. I ended up finishing 15 min and 35 seconds. Not bad I will take it. Yes I also lift weights, I played football in high school so i stick to the football program we were on while playing. I quit doing squats and do leg extensions instead though....keep the continue
ddog,im goin to walk at the soccer field in the mornin,ill be wearin a maroon colored(eastern) cap,that says,RHODUS PAINTING...i plan on bein there at about 8 oclock...if you and your friend want to stop by and walk a round or two,that would be great...if not,what time will you be at the coffe shop,beside the boone tavern hotel,(i forget the name of it),we could have a cup of joe...'keep the continue'
I have had maybe 2 packs of cigarettes total my whole life so no I dont smoke cigs. I do smoke the green though but it hasnt effected me really yet anyway. Squats are very good for you and they do strengthen your entire body but I got so sick of them, they get fuckin tough and started giving me problems with my right knee so i decided to take it out of my workout. Like i said its a great thing to do but I just hate doing them.... keep the continue
#2, won't be able to make it tomorrow after all; friend doesn't want to be "stick in mud" since she feels like you're coming by yourself; women, can't live with them, can't live without them; sometimes, i just don't understand; thanks for response; will let you know when i can get there; would really like to get to know you and have coffee with you; keep up the good work
i wasnt interested in settin any more world recoerds this mornin,so i parked at the bank,and headed through town..i wound up goin around the college, by the track,close to the library,through an orchard,and down the side of a huge coop garden,thats across the road from the soccer field...i really enjoy, days like today,although im walkin at a brisk pace,im not concerned about the time or distance,after havin a day off yesterday,i felt great,and all i wanted to do was get my heart rate up a bit,and enjoy the ride...one thing is for sure,if we dont get some rain,there wont be a blackberry,within 100 miles of berea,ky...what a fkn dry spell..'keep the continue'

went to the pinnacle today,which is a mountain,here in berea...its almost straight up,and it took 42 minutes,non stop,to get to the top..if you stay busy,and dont take any breaks,itll get yer attention..what struck me the most,as far as bein different,since i last climbed the pinnacle,(about a year ago,when i was a lot heavier)was not goin up,but comin back down,it was sooo much easier,on my legs..as a matter of fact,when was heavier,the reason i didint go more often,was that it killed my legs....goin downhill,is a mfer,when youre 295,,all that eight,goes right to the knees....one thing for sure,i need to do more,of what i did today,if im goin to make 200,by nov 1...but,if i dont make my goal,it will be because im liftin these concrete blocks,and gainin muscle...you see a lot of walkers,and runners,who not only lose fat,but they have starved themselves to death,and lost whatever muscle,that they had..that aint goin to be he case,with me....if i have to get out and walk every day,next winter,thats what ill do...my goal is to be in shape,not to be a skinny,ex fat person.............ps: WELCOME TO MRHOGNUTS KITCHEN... on tonights menu.. chicken breast in a can of celery soup, mixed veggies,and for a treat,ill probably have a big red apple,and maybe some pineaapple with yogurt and cottage cheese,and a large cup of decaf ...i finished off my jello,this afternoon....will probably put my thinkin cap on,and fix another batch,before the nights over....'keep the continue'
