	flu Damon I had the flu a couple of years ago, and after I started feeling better, I pretty much did not eat anything but water, and crackers for like a week. I just was not hungry at all. And I felt pretty good too... Your body will tell you when it's hungry. Created about 17 hours ago by kb2qqm
	thanks... I hope I can get in the majority of my workouts next week. i know I'll have at least 3 days in the gym, but I might miss friday and saturday. enjoy your off week! Created about 18 hours ago by digivation
	Feeling better, but odd I feel better, but when I look at food, I have absolutely no desire to eat anything. I need to eat, but I just don't want to. The tought of eating doesn't appeal to me at all. Created about 19 hours ago by dl4765
	Great Great Job meeting your weight goal! You have got to feel "On Top of the World" today. Enjoy the feeling ! Thanks for the email, your discs are on the way.. Created about 22 hours ago by kb2qqm

	When you're sick...(info via my INSANE sports nutr Your body will hold onto anything to survive. KB is on the money; you're body is workin' hard and keeping everything in that it can. It'll fall off the scale soon. :) Created 3 days ago by ltm
	feel better Damon, I hope you feel better..Prayers headed your way.. You're on for the 100 mile challenge, and It will be a challenge for me.. Does elliptical count ? That 8 pounds is all water weight I bet.. Created 3 days ago by kb2qqm
	Me-oh-me-oh-my! Wow. A bunch of my coworkers got the flu shot on thursday, I think I caught the flu from them. I was down all weekend. Recovering today. I don't believe in dieting when I'm sick (just makes a bad situation worse) but somehow I managed to gain 8lbs over the weekend! That's not right! Created 3 days ago by dl4765
	That is one tender little nugget!!!! Congrats :) Created 6 days ago by ltm
	Gyms You're lucky to have so many 24 hour gyms so close to where you live. I'm only aware of two gyms in my town that I'd consider to be real lifter gyms and one of them (Gold's) I have had serious financial issues with, so, I have to make do with what I have. :) Created 8 days ago by wcirish77

	Character improvement My wife says I'm too negative. To rectify that I'm posting some good news: The Cowboys didn't lose yesterday. Created 10 days ago by dl4765
	Oops! I always have a time with bike goals messing up. (I have a recumbent bike, but have to log it in to road bike because that's all challenges will use). Anyway, I'm FAR from my 2 mile goal for biking. I logged in .2 --- 2/10 of a mile yesterday! Created 10 days ago by Gimpy Granny
	Miserable I'm falling apart. My L shoulder came out of socket while I was trying to sooth my son's colic. It was the only position he was comfortable in, so I held him like that (shoulder out and all) for over an hour. Yesterday I was going to sit down and feed him, my hip popped out. I could feel the bones pulling on the screws. Don't let the look on my face fool ya, it hurt! I'm glad I waited to have kids, that way I'd be in my prime, ready for all the stresses of dealing with a baby. No, wait, I'm not. I told my wife to record me hobbling around, icing my shoulder, my hip and my knee, that way whenever he asks for any money, I'll be able to show him that I've already paid.

	why thank you sir.. i'm enjoying the routine so far! Created 15 days ago by digivation
	Woooooooh Pig Suey! pop-tarts, potato chips, pizza, pasta & beer have been the only food in my house for the last week. I gotta get this under control! Created 17 days ago by dl4765
	Thanks! Thanks for the advice on my arm injury - I'll keep my eyes peeled for a brace. The Max-OT program --> I've had a read through - looks pretty good. But... the gymrats I partner (not in the biblical sense) are pretty "blinkered". However, I'm going to see if I can work around it on the bits they don't do - such as legs - not in the next few weeks though. Are you seeing results from it? Hope little Erik and "the missus" are doing well! And hope you're doing well, Mr Daddy! Created 28 days ago by DaddyBoy
	Weight Goal Congrats dude! Keep it up (or down in this case). Created 29 days ago by jcespedes
	Congrats! Just saw you met your body weight goal! Awesome! Created 29 days ago by digivation
	Max-OT I looked through the write-up for the Max-OT program and it looks awesome, but unfortunately the gym I work out in isn't suited to do this type of thing. I really lacks all the necessary machinery, has no barbells or squat rack, and has dumbbells that only go up to 50 lbs. If I can scrape up enough extra cash then I can return to the gym at the university and there I could definitely do this program. Created about 1 month ago by fattysmo
	Nice New Photo I like your new photo better than the other one. Shows you better. :-) Created about 1 month ago by Gimpy Granny
	Your Recipe I see you added a recipe (Ensaladilla Rusa - Spanish Potato Salad). I'm trying to figure out how to add my recipe. I see you have numerous ingredients and amounts, that appear to make a good bath of the salad. The Nutrition info says 1 serving. I'm trying to add a soup/stew. The recipe makes a BUNCH. When I enter an ingredient, like rice, to I enter the total rice in the recipe with and nutrition info, and in Serving size put the total servings the recipe makes? Or do I put the amount of rice in 1 serving (bowl) with the amounts of nutrition only for that amount? Does Gyminee then add up the nutrition amounts (%, grams, ounces, etc.) to show calories (etc) per 1 serving? Created about 1 month ago by Gimpy Granny
	Little by Little I'm regaining some of my strength. I had a bad pain in my L shoulder all weekend though. Nothing helped. It finally stopped hurting this AM after doing some squats. Don't know why that worked. Maybe b/c I hold the weights lower on my back (like power lifters do) which puts quite a bit of pressure on my shoulders and hands? Created about 1 month ago by dl4765
	I've been eating like a tick this week. Don't get me wrong, I love it, but wow. Since bringing our son home from the hospital, a different family from our church brings us dinner every night. They bring enough food for 10 people, and it's always some form of delicious pasta, bread, cakes and pies, etc. Created about 1 month ago by dl4765
	Hi Howz things going. Looking at your activity list things are going well. Keep up the great work. Created about 1 month ago by city_kid1975

	Goal!!!!!!!!!!! Congrats on your "Crunch - cable "goal, dl! You've got some very impressive goals you're aiming for - good luck! And, I hope none of that 7lbs in 10days was anything to do with extra portions of birthday cake? Created about 1 month ago by DaddyBoy

	Gained 7lbs in 10 days I HOPE it's all muscle. As DaddyBoy says: "Here's Hoping!" ;o) Created about 1 month ago by dl4765
	PUNY Wow! I didn't realize just how much strength I had lost. I was doing chest today and was embarrassed by having to ask for a spotter with only 260lbs!!!! This sucks. I'll have to resist the urge to work harder, and stick with MAX-OT to recover. Created about 1 month ago by dl4765
	MAX-OT - I'm Intrigued! Thanks for the invite/link. I'm going to look it up soon. I probably won't go for the challenge (wimping out bigtime!) as I (here come the excuses) train with 2 other people in 3 of my weekly sessions. Getting them to change will be nigh on impossible. However, if I can work around it I will... In the meantime, good luck with "the event" and also have a great birthday! Created about 1 month ago by DaddyBoy
	Recovering, I pushed pretty hard. I was burnt after the other crap I was doing. Now after just two days doing MAX-OT, I'm not only recovering, but feeling like in another few days I'll be better than ever. I'm glad I didn't wuss out for a week before starting the new routine. If you've never tried MAX-OT, you don't really know what intensity is. I'm talking veins popping, red faced, sweating, seeing-spots intensity. If you've never been to that level, you're missing out.

	Great job! Congrats on winning, or should I say dominating, THE Weight Lifting Challenge. I can't fathom all the weight you lifted. That's so awesome, way to go!! Created about 1 month ago by fattysmo
	Boo-Ya! See ya there. :) Created about 1 month ago by wcirish77
	Who am I kidding? There's not an ounce of back-off in my body. See ya in the Gym! Created about 1 month ago by dl4765
	Congratulations! Congratulations on winning THE Weight Lifting Challenge and the T-shirt!! I knew you could win it! Created about 1 month ago by Gimpy Granny
	Pending arrival - taking a step back My son is due in less than a week. My inlaws arrived from Spain in anticipation of the big event. I think we ate more yesterday than I had the entire week! I'm pretty tired after the RHC, the million in a month, and the end of THE weight lifting challenge. I think I'll only do HIT workouts this week, before I start up with MAX-OT. Created about 1 month ago by dl4765
	Congratulations Mr Invincible! Congratulations on the Weight Lift Challenge - absolutely awesome! Well done again! DB p.s. enjoy the T-Shirt Created about 1 month ago by DaddyBoy
	Wow! The sonogram! That is amazing! I still have the scan images of our 2 sons but nowhere near the detail! Anyway, I'm not going to let my wife see, just in case... Created 2 months ago by DaddyBoy
	Re: Hands Full! The official due date is October 5th. That's the day before my birthday. It wasn't planned that way (by us anyway), but it's a beautiful thing. I'm going to post the last sonogram image as a progress pic. Created 2 months ago by dl4765
	Hands Full! Sounds like you're going to have your hands full soon. How long to go before the big event? (if you don't mind me asking) Created 2 months ago by DaddyBoy
	Coasting this weekend As the delivery date nears, my wife's nesting instinct has kicked into overdrive. For the last several weeks she has alerted me on Friday that I have a long list of things to accomplish. Only problem is, I cross one off the top, and she writes two on the bottom. Sheesh! We're in the middle of Hurricane Ike, so she doesn't want me to drive to the gym, but she had me outside trimming bushes, mulching flower beds, and potting plants. I guess my son will need to have nice bushes and pretty plants when he arrives? Created 2 months ago by dl4765
	Re: Weight Entry Ok, that's how I've been doing it too. I guess I just second-guessed it since squats and leg presses are essentially the same thing but if a person is doing leg presses and entering in the weight here then they'd be able to enter in a much larger amount since the weight they do there would be (at the very least) the weight they'd do for a squat plus their body weight. I just wanted to make sure I was being consistent with others in the challenge. Created 2 months ago by fattysmo
	Re: Weight Entry The weights I record are the weights on the bar. I don't use my weight for any lifts except on exercises like dips or pullups, where 100% of my weight is being lifted by the movement. Created 2 months ago by dl4765
	By the way, I'm astounded by the fact that you've lifted over 3 million pounds in the challenge. That's amazing! Created 2 months ago by fattysmo
	Weight Entry Do you do workouts like squats and calf raises? If so, do you enter the weight in as whatever weight you used plus your body weight, or just the weight you used? Created 2 months ago by fattysmo
	AWESOME! I'm gob-smacked! You've been gunning it bigtime whilst I've been away! You've made such tremendous progress that no-one's going to catch you in the Weight Lifting challenge! You can afford to step back a bit and let the body recover. Go buddy go! Created 2 months ago by DaddyBoy
	Backing off Taking at least a week to recover. I'll still lift, but not like I was. Created 2 months ago by dl4765
	Your progress Congratulations on your weight loss. That's awesome! One other thing I'd like to know is how you jumped 100 pounds in flat bench press in just two weeks at the end of July. I've been struggling with boosting my flat benching weight and would like to know your secret :-P Created 3 months ago by fattysmo
	Re: Overtraining Even though my weights are itszy-bitszy compared to yours, I know what you mean. I burned out a couple days ago. Two months is a long time for a weight lifting challenge. Although, you may be referring to the RHC. :-) Created 3 months ago by Gimpy Granny
	Overtraining Everything has been super heavy. My weights are dropping way too much. I'm just about out of gas. Created 3 months ago by dl4765
	Congrats! Congrats on making your weight goal! BTW, I just read your analogy about the car and gas money! ROFL Created 3 months ago by Gimpy Granny
	I was right. Deadlifts suck 'nuff said. Created 3 months ago by dl4765
	RHC 3: Week 2 Day 3 done. I hate deadlifting. Really. Especially deadlifting w/ only 45 seconds of rest between sets. That makes about as much sense as selling your car for gas money. Created 3 months ago by dl4765

	You're Doing Great! especially with all that you have going. I know that there are "no excuses" but sometimes we really do need to take into account those wrenches that life throws at us. I'm sorry to hear about your kidney... and the loss of protein powder! Good luck with doing the best that your body can do - and what is best for it! keep it up! Created 4 months ago by rockstarmama
	Re: Legs today Thx for the motivation! But, yes, week 3 and legs still seems to kick my butt the most, too. We're going for a walk now to try and get the circulation flowing again, lol! Created 4 months ago by JuryDuty
