Awesome!  What kind of book?  Fantasy fiction?  Sci-fi?  Non-fiction/self-help?  So many choices!

I guess self-help?

 

a sort of cookbook... with my bio and a little bit of how to.... and personal recipes :D

 

I am going to use it as a way to earn some funds while I am convalescing and help pay my way to camp... (short term disability SUCKS and is terrible to have to rely on especially when you live pay check to paycheck)...

Just got this text from my fiance...

 

"I weighed myself and only lost a couple of ounces. so i measured my stomach AND i lost 3 1/2 inches. woo renewed hope that im still improving"

 

This is after she had been struggling with the idea of muscle canceling out weight loss and a couple other factors that made her a bit worried that she wasn't headed in the right direction.

This is fantastic. I'm really happy for her. I have been moving back and forth between 148 and 151 for months now and the only thing that keeps me going is losing inches. I'm not sure where all she measures but, if she's not already, I would suggest that she measures a bunch of different places so that even if her stomach suddenly doesn't change much from one measurement to the next, she can see where she's changing elsewhere. I measure my waist (women's waists are the narrowest places on their torso), across my navel, my thigh, calf, wrist, forearm, and neck. I wish I'd started measuring my upper arm when I started all of this but for some reason I didn't think of it so now I just don't bother with it.

I'm a trainer & was hanging out with a friend the other day.  Aforementioned friend hates exercise & our visits usually center around getting coffee or other stationary activities.  Nothing wrong with that, I just know not to ask her if she wants to go to the gym with me cause the answer will always be NO.

 

So, we're chilling & out of nowhere she asks me, "Can you show me how to do barbell training & give me an orientation in the gym.  I want to get strong, especially upper body."

 

HALLELUJAH!!  I about cried I was so excited!  :pride:

 

Granted, she then followed it up by saying it was because she was hoping it would motivate her boyfriend to start lifting weights & she really wanted to see him with super muscle-y arms.  I've heard of plenty of reasons of vanity for working out, but vanity on behalf of your significant other is a new one.

 

But hey, whatever her reasons, she's excited to get strong so it's another win for the Rebellion!!

She does all over, we both do. Chest, stomach, hips, upper and lower legs, upper and lower arms... and I think that's it. I want to get calipers though to make it more sciency... :-)

Pure gold

 

 

and this one is killing me, figuratively

 

I sexually Identify as an Attack Helicopter. Since I was a boy I dreamed of soaring over oilfields dropping hot sticky loads on disgusting foreigners. People say that being a helicopter is Impossible & I'm f'ing retarded but I don't care, I'm beautiful. I'm having a plastic surgeon install rotary blades/30mm cannons/AMG-114 Hellfire missiles on my body. From now on call me "Apache" & Respect my right to kill from above. If you cant accept me ur a heliphobe & need to check your vehicle privilege

Right after I posted the following to my FB Group, The Screaming Tortise Athletic Club ...

 

 

 

... while I was digging for quarters to pay the Garden State Parkway tolls for our trip down the Shore tomorrow, I found a very old nickel, from the year I was born

 

This is a talisman that I've been seeking for many years [there's something special about nickels that pennies, dimes & quarters don't have]

 

To find it, just after my proclamation, was a good omen, as I always break HMs down to "5 miles, another 5 miles, then a 5k"

 

Nickel, nickel, nickel

Cool! There is something about nickels and the number 5.

Buffalo is called the "Nickel City"

There are some old nickels that were made with a Buffalo, hence the nickname.

Backhanded compliment from my MMA coach.

The cancer was aggressive, but the chemotherapy was aggressive, as well.

There was aggression on both sides.

found out a friend of mine had got himself an exceptionally cheap tape measure where the inch and cm are a bout 2 inch out, he'd been having trouble thinking he'd been screwing up and rushing for weeks, many lolz had by all :) (fyi english people are very comfortable being bad to their friends in the nicest possible way :P)

I just finished my first ever semester of grad school in a computer-focused program.  My remedial programming professor emailed me and said he plans on giving me an 'A', because he feels I am ready to move on, despite the fact that my last assignment has yet to be turned in.
