Yesterday I had mad cravings for ordering some ice cram. I was playing Pokemon Emerald and just needed some sweet company, and I remembered this thread and something one of you nerds n_n said, so I told to myself -You can have ice cream, but not right now, maybe in an hour or so- And I completely forgot about ice cream until this morning. And I feel GREAT about not caving to my craving (is this correcto?) Thanks you guys and gals!

I read this while having this for lunch Bacterias might get mad, but my tummy is super happy right now [emoji16]

Tastes like heaven

I'm proud of you GonnaBeAJedi<3 I also realise that I'm too harsh on myself and don't celebrate my own merits. 1) I stopped adding sugar to my brews (coffee, tea). I was used to a life of coffe with cream and sugar, tea with AT LEAST 3 tea spoons. And now I enjoy them as they are. 2) I switched from mainly drinking coke to drinking water except for the occasional beer or diet coke. 3) Whenever I eat poorly my brain shouts out "THAT'S NOT FOOD YOU IDIOT", but I'm still struggling to manage my emotions/hunger 4) I quit buying crap food to have at my place, but I sometimes order ice cream and sin. 5) I'm slowly getting my girlfriend into the health train

Instant friendship man! I'm from Palermo, C.A.B.A.

I love chicken! Never cooked a whole chicken though, new goal: Cook a whole chicken. Hey, here is my natural protein shake recipe. 1) Cut 100-150grs of roasted/bolied chicken breast into pieces and place them inside blender 2) Add 1 bag dehydrated soup, try to aim for a low sodium soup. 3) Slowly add 1 cup of hot water *IMPORTANT* Make sure your blender glass material is hot resistant.. 4) Season, blend and enjoy a hot, creamy, super healthy (and protein packed) chicken soup. Tip: You can just use dry cold chicken, the one that's been too long in the fridge and tastes like ass. No need to heat it as the hot water will warm it up super quickly as it blends and turns into a pretty decent AND SUPER CHEAP protein shake

Never thought of that, I'm gonna explore my neighborhood and compare prices. How many days does the chicken hold up in the fridge? Do you freeze the chicken once cooked? Cook > freeze > defrost > eat? Regarding the water consumption, water is freaking GOAT.

Great responses! Thanks! I liked the "EXTREME DIET - IN THE WOODS". I tried to up my protein these past few days and felt super satiated, I need to up my prep game tho, because it's hard getting that protein macros on the run. Today I had to work on a national holliday, all the stores are closed, so I ate cookies and pastries. Last night I played poker with friends BUT drank water along with the booze.

Thanks for your kind words redpuma! n_n I still play videgames nowadays, but no more MMORPGs for me. Just the occasional Smash fest with my younger brother (who beats the crap out of me) but with each lose I'm a step closer to wrecking his Marth with his stupid sword and that faggy cape. At first I didn't even wanted to play against him, because I never owned any nintendo console, and I automatically lost just for being clumsy. But one day I challenged him endlessly and came so close to winning in a Best of 5 (I didn't tho). BUT I WILL lol

Hate it when that happens! :@

Hey man, whats up. You can try getting a little kitchen scale to weight the food before you eat it, so can track your calories and see what a real 600kcal plate looks like I won't lie to you, it's a drag, but it will teach you alot about portion size! Hope this helps n_n

Good morning everybody, it's 10:35 a.m here in Argentina and the weather is moist and cloudy. This is not a cry for help, I just want to share something that has been on my chest for years, and I finally figured it out yesterday while writing in my diary (yes, I keep a personal diary). Maybe some can relate to, or not, anyway I really appreciate the support. This is the story of how I lost the purpose in my life. Back to 2008 (7 years ago). One year after finishing high school, I started my superior studies at a public university just out of obligation, my parents wanted a better future for me, so I tried to stick to that. While I did that, I spent my free time watching the TV show Scrubs (LOVED that show) and playing Ragnarok Online (RO). I could farm for 00.01% items for DAAAYS at a time, just won't give up. I could farm other Misc. items to sell and see how my zeny (RO currency) grew. But I never felt fulfilled. My farming method was never the best, nor was I the best or a recognized player in any of the servers I ever played. I remember playing Legacy RO with an AWESOME Phillipino band, we used to Team Speak and play simultaneously, most fun I ever had playing MMORPGs. I was a lvl 97 Sniper, who knew his ways placing traps and Crowd Controling the enemy. But I always had the feeling like I never was up for the challenge (any challenge whatsoever). Like there was always a better way to do the thing that I was doing. I quit for a while and the server got wiped (all accounts reset to zero), so I started in a new server. Farmed and lvled my way up. Always trying to figure out the fastest, most effective way to do stuff: First lvl the Sniper so I can farm and equip a White Smith, so that I can finally farm with full-powered Cart Terminations, wich costed 10k zeny per hit, but dealt TONS of damage. I remember getting almost the full gear which costed BILLIONS, that's a lot of time playing that stupid game. I remember going down to the abyss with my ALMOST perfect WhiteSmith just to realize that my damage wasn't enough, I needed 3 hits which cost 10k each=30k to farm rings that sold for 20-25k. NOT PROFITABLE. Biggest dissapointment ever. My academic life felt apart ever since I began stuying after high school. I'm just not interested in anything, I don't know. The whole RO story made me realize that I am never satisfied with anything, I'm always aiming for "the perfect way" and then quitting after seeing that there is no perfect way (and there is always an asian guy/girl) who will destroy you PvP. I stopped enduring stuff. I start something, I don't "like" it, I quit. No endurance whatsoever. My job is whats keeping my life together. I landed this part time job 4 years ago and I haven't grown (got promoted), but it's something I do which makes me feel SOME sort of gratification (while feeling gloomy tho, like if my work didn't count). Like if there were things that "counted" in life and others don't. I feel like I will never achieve anything, but worst of all, I lost the clarity of knowing what to do. I woke up and played RO, that was it. I know where to go, I knew how to hunt, how to gear up for Sunday's War of Emperium. Whenever I exit my job nowadays, I have NO IDEA WHAT TO DO WITH MY LIFE. I tried many many things (each time with less endurance, quitting very soon after starting). Right now feels like I'll never endure anything. I'm not ok accepting that, but I still don't know what to do. -------------------------- Sorry for the long post, love u guys. kthxbye

My goodness Antwon, you are good! I read all your posts and am now following this thread.

Well see, I never thought of that approach. Delayed gratification is unknown to me (I haven't got very far in life, obviously).

Eleanorsbee.. you left me thinking... You know I been smoking cigarretes for like 10 years now, I had times were I smoked 15+ cigs a day, times were I smoked 1 or 2. Currently, I haven't smoked in like 3 months or more. I can quit and resume just like that. But with food I don't know why I find it so hard to stick to a diet. I tried eating "all you can eat" paleo, but no matter how full I am, I will always have space for some of that delicious ice cream/cake/pizza. I feel you® determination, it makes no sense for me to have a small sweet reward a day, it's either no junk food, or all the junk food I can eat > feel bad > eat chicken and salad > repeat. I really feel you though, and I know that it all boils down to manning up lol

I never really planned my meals... I had some healthy dinners with leftover lunch at most, but you mean like actually cooking lots of chicken and veggies and storing them in tuppers in the fridge like body builders do? I used to have some sort of reminders lying around, but it all came down to a big "who are you kidding"? What about being hungry while on a diet. Does that feeling ever pass? Like, does the body get used to the hunger spikes? Sorry for my sucky english

Well, after counting calories with MFP for a couple of weeks it became very clear that I have no discipline at all. I will aim to eat healthy, and the next day eat "whatever" as a reward for my good work eating that fish and veggies. I'm not asking for the ultimate way to become disciplined (of course), I just want to know how do you guys/and girls fight your sugary/junk food craving demons

Maybe that's it! Eating at maintenance on strength days is OK? I'm trying to cut my fat % so I'm in deficit right now sent from my Moto G while chilling the chillz

It's not just the DOMS. I tried before working at 80% of my one rep max (approximately) and what happens is the following: Monday workout leaves me tired and I don't recover properly, so I feel weak and do badly on Wednesday, which leaves me devastated for Friday. It's a mixture of DOMS and super tiredness like "I can't even deal with my life" kind of tired. I go to bed on time, have dinner hours before it. But some nights I won't "rest", I just can't control that sent from my Moto G while chilling the chillz

Well, I always went with the strength programs, but my recovery is subpar. Should I go for muscle endurance first and try strength progams in a few months? I already tried strength first, but the high intensity makes it impossible for me to recover. Thanks!!

Hey guys, I'm back with kind of tricky question. I've been doing 2-3 sets of 10 reps with just the oly bar of press, bench press, squats, stiff legged deadlifts. Recovery is fine. My question is, how can I increase the load without going to far and hindering my recovery? Should I add 5lbs to all lifts and strive for 2-3 sets of 10 reps?

I'm doing aight! I'm training 5 days a week, either boxing or weight lifting. Life feels so goooooood!

This week I did Mon: 45lbs barbell, main lifts Tue: boxing class Wed: 45lbs barbell, main lifts Thu: boxing class I feel tired, but not devastated as I used to feel! I think that the aerobic workout from boxing is helping my recovery. Is that possible? We do a killer warm up at the beginning and stretching at the end of the class. It's fun and challenging Enviado desde mi XT1032 mediante Tapatalk

Hey AlexCold, don't worry about ofending me... I don't even lift. By the point I hit 90lbs, I felt like "weak knees" after working out and during my off days. It felt like a tinkle on the internal face of the knee, (the part of the knee that looks directly at the knee on the other leg). It wasn't pain, it was just a tinkle whenever I walked. So I went to see a doctor and he told me to do "partial squats". ... I did partial squats, stopping above paralel and couldn't walk for a whole weekend. It just destroyed the front face of my knees, where the patela is. After that I quited lifting, and when I got back I started with goblet squats to perfect my form and stretching my ankles for mobility. I'll upload a video sooner or later About the diet, you are right, I only managed to stay at 1800kcals for like 5 days and lost like 6lbs. I must have done that 2 or 3 times, but just for a week. I'm tracking my meals and I'm just a wreck. I eat healthy and reward myself with tons of ice cream.
