Is it me or Kim K looks like a penguin?

Wow.

Well, it's obvious she let Kanye finish...

Are you guys really making fun of someone who's pregnant?

Nah, it's just because she has such a huge ***.

Or Kanye West as you probably know him by.

2:30am wake up to get on base in Montgomery by 5:30. Needless to say, I haven't slept any and I'm glad I'm not driving.

I seem to spend all of my off days in Montgomery.

Re: Off Topic 2013

No, I am taking the info from your post in the fitness thread. That's unhealthy and a good way to plateau quickly and do more harm than good in the long run.

If you keep up what you're doing, I'd put money on you getting sick relatively soon and the weight being back within a couple months. Crash diets are bad for you.

Seriously, the easiest way to lose weight and keep it off is to eat a healthy 1000-1500 calories a day (of the right stuff) and bust your *** at the gym intelligently. Otherwise everything else is a shortcut.

That's all really good advice, but one thing that I would advise is eating more than 1,500 cals a day.

When I was super ignorant to diet and nutrition I started off by eating a lot less than I should have. That will actually cause your body to go into starvation mode and possibly burn muscle instead of fat, and that is definitely not good.

Candy, try following these guidelines for now and you should be on the right track

1. Try and do at least a half hour of continuous cardio in the morning, and if possible at night. Double your cardio if you want to lose serious fat. Also, maybe try some H.I.T. once you're in better cardiovascular shape.

2. Lift at least 3 times a week. You need to build muscle up in order to help burn fat.

3. Like Ubernoob said, try and eat 5-6 meals a day. And DON'T skip breakfast.

4. No carbs after 5pm.

5. Count your calories and watch your macros.

6. For a guy your size, try to get at least 2,000 cals a day. Eat a lot and eat healthy and you will be fine as long as you keep working out.

7. Make sure you're getting enough protein.

8. Make a list with all of the fitness goals you have. Carry it with you everywhere. Sounds stupid, but trust me - It helps.

I am probably forgetting a few things, but that's a good start.

Re: Off Topic 2013

Great advice, because getting 400 calories a day is....just not good.

Have to be somewhere north of 1800, depending on your activity level. I wouldn't call what you are doing now a diet, you are just starving yourself.

Turns out the Hunger Games is on Netflix. Guess it's time to check it out. Never read the books, so I shouldn't be disappointed if something doesn't match.

I'll need to watch that. I am all for movies that are based on books, because I, uh, don't read.

Should I feel bad if I don't go in to cover someone's shift even if I don't really have anything to do until I'm scheduled in at 4? And they had a semi-emergency come up. (Her daughter is sick at school, needs to be picked up).

I said I was at my other job. I kinda want the extra hours but I've got a long day tomorrow and I was looking forward to some chill time today.

Re: Off Topic 2013

No, you shouldn't feel bad.

Your off time, is your off time. You should be able to spend it how you please without feeling a sense of obligation.

Word.

I've been under the weather too, battling these aches (mostly subsided) and sore throat/stuffy nose/congested head.

Weather has been so nice finally, but I can't really even enjoy it because I've been feeling kinda crappy since Saturday.

I cherish my sleep time but it's a chore when I can't breathe through my nose, so I get extreme cottonmouth. Ugh, the worst.

[ubernoob]

Back when I used to get caught up covering peoples butts at jobs (shifts and the like). I finally got fed up and asked myself would they cover for me if needed? 99% of the times I rejected them. That simple question made it that much easier for me.
