Late start because I'm bad at forum-ing and in general I'm an ill-bred person of poor repute, I assume. Also because my only real time to update is at work and lately I'm so busy I can barely breathe, which is no different today, so this will be fast. Nothing new with me except that I might be moving to Denver so that's a thing. Goals! I've been doing them, just not updating How many times do I write that sentence. 1. Walk 3x a week. Last week I went to Flagstaff and hiked everyday while there, so that was all 3+ at once, but then I walked during the week also. This week I walked on Saturday, and I'll probably go again tonight. 2. Incorporate bench press and deadlift every time I go to the gym. Because I like to deadlift and my bench press is depressing. I did this last week but I didn't go to the gym as much as I should have. I should go tonight so we'll see. I'm already ready for my post-work nap. 3. Some nebulous eating healthy goal. Just to stay on the radar and because honestly the above 2 goals are enough for me right now. I made a pot of soup for lunches this week and I have a couple dinner ideas so this may work out pretty well this week. Today's breakfast- steak, half an avocado, raw sauerkraut, coconut milk in cold brew coffee brewed with chai. Lunch- soup. Dinner- probably bleu cheese walnut spinach salad. Last week was pretty good. Really the weeks are fine, it's the weekends that are killing me. And the social drinking. Neither of those things will be changing soon as we have houseguests this weekend coming down for a party for another friend and we'll be heading to New York in a few weeks (and then the whole moving to Denver thing), so I probably need to work on strategies to be a little more moderate. People say that I'm losing weight but the scale doesn't budge and I see no progress in pictures. So I just take it to mean that I'm still fat, but I'm well-liked enough that people try to make me feel better about myself, and that's a nice consolation. Anyway. That's my general plan. Aaaaaand back to work.

Hello all, I recently started climbing again and I need a a buddy to climb with, because that's way more fun. Anybody in the Denver area want to go to the Denver bouldering club on Fridays around 2:30 (time and place negotiable, it's just when I get off work and the gym is relatively empty , and I like to boulder more than top rope) PM or reply here if you're interested

Hey hey Everyone! My two brothers and I are planning a trip to Denver for five days this year to experience Water Rafting and Comic Con. Both of these things are completely brand new to us, We are California-natives, but in the Spirit of the Rebellion, we're trying to expand our horizons. However, in planning all of this, there are a lot of unknown factors, so I'm reaching out to you guys who have either gone rafting and/or gone to a Comic Con before, any and all advice is appreciated! I'm hoping to be able to experience both events (and Colorado as a whole) as completely as possible, so with that in mind, I have a couple of questions: Which days would be better to attend Comic Con? And which would be better to go Rafting (We're planning on flying in Thursday, and flying out on Sunday)? What should I bring to each event specifically? How much cash should I be prepared to carry? (Slightly obvious/dumb question) How does Comic Con work exactly? Time to get in line? Start elbowing people? Getting to booths/panels, etc. Hotels suggestion? How will traffic be around that time (We're planning on either Taxi-ing or Rent-a-car)? How will the people be around that time (Any signs of troublemakers I should watch out for)? Local places to eat (we love food!)?And if you guys want to meet us there, We'd gladly say hello and hang out! Never hurts to make new friends!

Western Rebels, I have a question! I was looking through the programming for Nan Desu Kan (NDK, Denver's largest anime convention), which is coming up this weekend. I noticed that on Sunday morning, there's a fan-run panel entitled "DYEL? Nerd Fitness". The guide summary says "... crash course on why health and fitness is important for everyone, including nerds. Plus, learn some easy ways to get stated and stay healthy." I am curious, is this a coincidence? Or is there a Rebel in the area who's going to be running this panel? If so, I'm most definitely showing up to support!
