2017-10-25 19:36:00 UTC  

I did PHAT for 3 years, now i work 12hours a day and do a push pull strength routine on saturday and sunday as its all i got time for

2017-10-25 19:36:17 UTC  

But i work in mining so im literally lifting pipes and swinging shit 12hrs a day

2017-10-25 19:36:27 UTC  

oh nice

2017-10-26 19:41:30 UTC  

How much time does everyone spend in front of a screen in a day?

2017-10-26 19:41:41 UTC  

too much

2017-10-26 19:43:07 UTC  

you don't understand, mom

It's my job, I try to stay off as much as I can

2017-10-26 20:04:14 UTC  

I try not to go higher than 4 consecutive hours. Staring at a monitor is very stimulating.

2017-10-26 20:04:42 UTC  

It puts you into a trance-like state after a decent amount of usage.

2017-10-26 20:05:12 UTC  

Depends what you're doing I guess

2017-10-27 03:56:30 UTC  

I program in several languages every day

2017-10-27 03:56:47 UTC  

I really just want money so I can start over

2017-10-28 13:54:22 UTC  

Opinions on alcohol consumption?

2017-10-28 15:06:19 UTC  

if it's wine, you're doing fine
if it's beer, you're probably a queer

2017-10-28 16:24:40 UTC  

Don't drink in excess

2017-10-28 16:24:53 UTC  

Beer increases estrogen levels

2017-10-28 16:25:29 UTC  

Personally I keep it to special occasions and when I do drink it's usually a cider or two

2017-10-28 16:25:37 UTC  

Or some good quality mead

2017-10-29 00:28:40 UTC  

I've been lazy for the past week and took off from exercising. Made me feel like shit. I'm going read, exercise, and practice piano each for an hour everyday. Between these, school, work and scouts, I should be pretty busy with an hour or two to relax.

2017-10-29 02:02:11 UTC  

I finally was able to start exercising again last week(I'd been in the middle of a move and hadn't been able to for about two weeks) I was surprised how hard it kicked my tail

2017-10-29 02:02:44 UTC  

Good news is I'm already bouncing back to where I was

2017-10-29 02:03:13 UTC  

The human body is a marvelous thing

2017-10-30 18:40:01 UTC  

I am proud of myself today. Started dieting and adding in some cardio last month, and have been sticking to my plan like a damn limpet... And I went from 155 to 149 lb. It's the first time I've been under 150 since 13ish and honestly, it is so cool to see. I've still got 10 more to go before I'm comfortable, and I know the holidays are coming up, but I really think I can be 140 by Christmas Break. Dunno how much y'all care, but I'm really happy, so.

2017-10-30 18:55:09 UTC  

Keep up the good work @Nix! Don't let holiday get-togethers throw you off your plan! How tall are you?

2017-10-30 18:59:12 UTC  

Don't worry! I'm quite stubborn when I put my mind to something, and the smaller portions have been great for me just not being capable of eating so much. 5foot 5 inches, which is just about average for my demographic.

2017-10-30 21:12:22 UTC  

Nice, I started dieting too, gained weight in conjunction with my wife and got up to 198 which is the heaviest I've ever been. Currently back down to 185 and still going down. Feels good

2017-10-30 21:18:50 UTC  

I went for 2 weeks with only breakfast each day and it had interesting effects (not in an attempt to lose weight).

2017-10-30 23:29:51 UTC  

I've only eaten dinner each day for years now, for some reason I have a really hard time eating breakfast. I'm just never hungry in the morning. It's not for lack of effort or laziness, since I regularly prepare breakfast for the kids almost daily.

2017-10-31 00:24:34 UTC  

Awesome to hear

2017-10-31 00:26:20 UTC  

I'm going to start making an 8 week cutting video series in which I detail dieting, supplements, routines, and my thought process as I go through each week, sort of VLOG style. Half will be me taking, half will be training footage. Big emphasis on scientifically sound information. Can post if anyone here is interested. Don't want to just shill my vids on you guys though

2017-10-31 10:38:18 UTC  

@StaysafeTV - 191 lb Muscle Man better if you mix the audio of you talking with the video of you training

2017-10-31 12:12:39 UTC  

Well, I was supposed to get up early to go do a bunch of errands, but I ended up sleeing in and even missed a class at university.

2017-10-31 12:13:14 UTC  

I feel pretty shitty about missing class, the errands aren't a big deal. I think this is due to my lack of energy lately.

2017-10-31 12:14:33 UTC  

So I'm going to start lifting weights again, I've stopped for like three months, and I've been feeling low ever since.

2017-10-31 12:17:16 UTC  

Cartesians and a lot of general leftists say that the body and mind are two seperate things. Think about all those people who say you can have a healthy mind while being overweight, the body positivity people. We know that the body and the mind are connected, and if you take care of one, you ultimately take care of the other. It follows that if you neglect one, you neglect both.

2017-10-31 18:41:19 UTC  

Well, so long as you didn't miss an important class, you should be fine, no? I'm guessing the class isn't a no-absence-policy class, or somehow I doubt you'd be that calm about it. And good for getting back on that! As someone in the biological sciences I can confirm, mind and body are in no way separate. The health of your heart, lungs, and the ability of your body to balance and create the cerebrospinal fluid all is a factor of main-body health. Fat activists are full of shit.

2017-10-31 22:17:33 UTC  

@Rin Only eating dinner is a lot different from only eating breakfast (and the former carries a lot of health risks).

2017-10-31 22:18:42 UTC  

Happy medium-- only eating lunch.
