Just don't post pictures. I don't think my fasted heart could take it.

Yeah. Sick sucks. I hope this passes soon.

Well, when I was lifting in the Stronglifts program, they recommended that if you hit the wall that you deload by 10% of the weight and then start building again. I dunno if that would help you or not.

Congratulations on a fine speech! It sounds like it went great.

Row, row, fight the powah! Ahem. The Running Guide's actually pretty cool. And there is some stuff in there on strength training as well - it's all bodyweight training, to be sure, but don't sell it short. I think you'll both benefit from it really well. Especially if your mom wants to pick up running again. There's a lot of stuff in there about form, and it'll be important for her if she decides to start.

Ah. But you still have that one you can look for. Consider crushing the other four dudes in this equation as part of your test for Officer candidacy.

CTF! Yes! I wish I'd played when I was in school. As you are my rival, I can only acknowledge full effort and no excuses. So get out there and kick some ass!

Nope. Not even one. Everybody takes a pull on the bottle every once in a while.

Maybe you could take a page out of Steve Kamb's book and do a couple shots of olive oil per day. Just for the lulz. That's easily 200-300 calories a shot right there.

Good scene.

I have a friend who's like that. Has the whole hyper-focus thing going and all. He can be hard to keep up with. So, I can understand and appreciate where you're coming from with this.

Hm. How metal are you willing to go? I'd almost recommend Asking Alexandria or The Chariot, but those are some harder sounds.

Wow, you are getting better and better. I like reading this! One thing to note: as you lift heavier and heavier, you're going to find losing weight gets tricky. That's because muscle weighs more than fat. You may find your numbers stalling a little bit. Nothing to panic over, but it is what it is. Don't lose heart!

And here I was afraid the rivalry was going cold. Good to see you back.

Dude, congrats on making the whole 30 days! I couldn't even make seven myself. Very nicely done.

Wow! Nice job getting a step closer to no caffeine. And it's good to know you're making some kind of progress - still, it's annoying when the doctors don't give you anything concrete for progress.

Ha ha. It is getting real.

Yeah, srsly. Extra rest doesn't hurt things if you're lifting heavy. Just as long as the work is done consistently, I don't see how extra rest would hurt you.

Well, even then, that means that your problems happened because you got too awesome for where you were before. For what it's worth, that's not a bad problem.

Hah! Rest is the best. Here's hoping your plan gets you where you want to go!

Well, go rock it then, dude! Let us know how it goes.

I hope it was good! The recipes tend to be pretty awesome, but I haven't had the chance to try them yet.

That's good. Keep building on it. Even if you aren't feeling it, the solution's just one lift away.

Yeah, but two hours of bleeding, dude. For serious.

You're right. On the other hand, if you can get the right stuff, you can get breakfast ham that tastes great and doesn't have all the bad stuff you normally associate with it. You have to check the ingredients, but otherwise...
