I am looking for ways to stick to my diet while travelling. It seems that while travelling I hardly ever have time to stop at a sit down restaurant, and always end up at fast food. What can I do/eat to stick to my diet for the most part?

Me and my wife are starting to plan and save for a European vacation. We want to hit Germany, Paris, and England in the same trip, but we only have about 10 days. Is it possible? Where should we go? What should we see?

DAVE RAMSEY IS THE MAN!!! Even thou I still use credit cards. I use the CC for the rewards/sky miles, but I pay it in full every month. Trying to earn enough sky miles for a trip to Europe.

My savings is with ING. When I first opened my account they had crazy good interest rates, like around 4% but have dropped to below 1% now. Only thing is you have to wait 2 days after a transfer to use your money. Thats is the only complaint I have.

Two Words DAVE RAMSEY. Check out his book Total Money Makeover, where he teaches you about the debt snowball. Basically pick one debt to go after. Pay the minimum on all other debt and through all extra money at your chosen debt. Once that one is paid off take the payments from the first + all extra money and go after another. After you finish that I would urge you to go to/read Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University. Good luck.

Day 3 - Squats @ 155 5x5 Bench @ 150 5x5 Row @ 100 5x5 Bodyweight Dips 4x10

All, Thanks for the encouragement. I have decided to give the 12 wk stronglift program a try, but I have decided to start at higher weights than just the bar. I have also decided to add in some bicep/tricep work b.c as my wife pointed out my arms are getting smaller lol.

The following stats were computed using the Stronglift 5x5 excel spreadsheet. Squat 15 reps @ 200 lbs = 291 5RM. Bench 12 reps @ 205 lbs = 262 5RM. Press 13 reps @ 100lbs =133 5RM. Row 13 reps @ 135 = 173 5RM. Deadlift 15 reps @ 185 lbs = 0 5RM ? Weight 215 Height 6'6" BF% = 8.7% as of 2 wks ago.

I feel this program is more for beginners. Would everyone agree? What if you have been lifting for years? I feel that I know proper technique already and I want to be challenged. I am still not sure if this system is for me.

Thanks for all the replies. I started StrongLift 5x5 today, but felt it was way too easy. I didnt feel like I even broke a sweat.

Try adding protein powder to you oatmeal, gives it flavor + protein boost. I like chocolate, taste like coco cereal.

I came across the Stonglift 5x5 method and I am thinking of trying it. Has anyone tried it and if so what did you think about it, what where your results? Also, I really enjoy going to the gym, working out, and being active, with Stronglift 5x5 only being a 3 day a week workout what can I do on other days at the gym that wont interfere with Stronglift? Please dont say cardio because I do that already.
