Mordechaj Posted July 17, 2014 Report Share Posted July 17, 2014 Thank God that I don't have to worry about that nonsense With cooking or with paleo?Non-paleo cooking wouldn't take me much less time if I abstained from eating crap. As to the other question: no. Quote STR: 2 / DEX: 2 / STA: 3 / CON: 2 / WIS: 3 / CHA: 3 PanHEMAphiliac. Link to comment

Oramac Posted July 17, 2014 Report Share Posted July 17, 2014 This. When my daughter starts nursery I'll be free to do stuff for a couple of hours 3x a week. I'm going to hit the gym. But then, when will I go back to kung fu? Go back to my singing group? Take up archery, like I dreamed of? I'll need to stop doing lazy shit like sleeping Also yeah, on the boobs. I was a D cup in my teens. Now I'm an A, if that -______- Same here, minus the daughter part. I have no idea what I'd do with a kid. I already feel like I'm being pulled in 27 different directions. So, yea, time management is definitely the biggest change. Also, my boobs grew a little. Thank you International Chest Day!

Dleffe Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 Well I wouldn't worry to much about the chestsize, I honestly prefer small and perky over large (and I'm sure I'm not the only one!). Which is a great relief for my gf as I got more cleavage than her (dunno if I should call it a downside, more of a side effect?) . Quote Link to comment
Rooks Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 Downfalls of fitness... umm... I guess that I have to accept I can't eat all the foodz. Forcing myself to take responsibility for my diet and actually eat cleaner. But man... I some times miss the days of just ordering Dominos all the time and convincing myself that I would be fine. socks, so many socks...... especially if you work out more than once a day, somedays I can go through 3 pair of socks a day, morning work out, work/daily, lunch work out; and forget trying to match them, they all live in a basket and get match as needed 1 word. Vibrams. Just gotta wash those like once a month or so... although they do get pretty ripe. time management.between regular fitness, paleo cooking, work and hygiene I don't have the time for running, music, tai chi, atl atl/dart propulsor systems, or even reading!it'll get better in the winter. See, I might agree that it's harder to find time for stuff. But if I wasn't working out, I'd fill that time with watching a TV show, or playing a game, or something else less productive to my overall life. Quote Link to comment
Phytomancer Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 Biggest problem, pants that fit around my waist simply refuse to fit around my upper legs. Shirts that fit around my chest and shoulders look like a potato sack from the chest down. Also most of my polo shirts are at the limit around my upper arms. Fairly soon I will have to stop wearing boxers as they are getting tighter and tighter around my legs and to loose around the waist. This. My boxer briefs left rings around my thigh flesh. The shirts that fit my chest and shoulders fall down almost to my knee. Oh, and when I buy shirts with the right length, I have to round my shoulders or risk shooting a button at someone's face. I used to walk close to walls just to be out of people's way, and now I constantly scrape and bump into one. My close friend used to punch my arm lovingly. Now she stopped doing it because she hurt her hand doing that. 3 Quote Phytomancer and The Way of The South East Level: 8 STR 15 | DEX 6 | STA 9 | CON 9 | WIS 9 | CHA 7 Level 1: Evil Minion Training | Level 2: Spy of the Seven Kingdoms Level 3: Shrines of Viruna | Level 4: Impending Storm | Level 5: Respawns | Level 6: Green Villains Level7: Returns to Battle Spoiler Pushup: 11.2% 11.2% Green: 11.2% 11.2% Sweets: 11% 11% Link to comment
Missmouse Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 Have you tried the second hand shops? I've scored clothes originally worth over hundreds of dollars for the change in my wallet. xD I went to my local thrift shop yesterday and found 2 pairs of Liz Claiborne shorts and a pair of Columbia hiking shorts. Total price for all 3: $15. Score!!! Funnily enough, I don't find time management to be too much of a problem. (Then again, I love a good schedule and thrive on routine, so maybe that's why I see a very structured, busy day as more of a positive.) My biggest issue is that I seem to be at the grocery store ALL THE TIME. Since I'm eating mostly meat & veggies these days, I end up going grocery shopping at least twice a week. Of course, I'm cooking all the time too, but I see that as another plus. :-) 1 Quote Life, Love and Lifting - My Third ChallengeSnatchin', snackin' and snarkin' - My Second ChallengeMomentum, Macros and Menfolk - My First Challenge Link to comment
Silo Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 The only time I've had success finding nice stuff at our closest thrift shop was when I went and found my own stuff on the rack. We had dropped off several bags a couple of weeks prior to my visit and apparently hit the store at the right time to find it all on the rack. The clothes no longer fit so, no, I did not buy them back. My biggest issue is that I seem to be at the grocery store ALL THE TIME.

AmandaM Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 This, this, this. I am forever running to the bathroom. I hope the people I work with don't think I have a bladder problem or anything... For me, it's the sweat. Any time my heart rate goes up, my body thinks I'm going on a run or something and I end up all sweaty from just taking the stairs. Almost makes me want to take the elevator.

Zorch Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 Being 6'6", shopping for clothes sucks in general, but I find shirts to be particularly bad. No, "tall" sizes don't cut it in my case. They might address the sleeve length issue, but that's only half the problem. If I buy a shirt that fits my upper chest/shoulders, it's way too baggy around my waist/midsection. If I buy a shirt that fits my lower torso well, I'm probably going to pop a button/rip something because it won't fit my shoulders. Shirts are generally cut for "average" (read: not athletic, possibly slightly overweight) builds, and most are utterly terrible fits for those of us with athletic builds. Short of getting a shirt custom-tailored to my dimensions, I have to settle for half-assed compromises most of the time.

Hit Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 Ive gotten very good at building my style around clothes that will never fit.
