    Ran three miles in segments. I started at a slightly faster speed, and I stopped a same amount of times so I will focus on pushing myself a little.

    Averaging 3.5 miles per day. Sometimes I go out twice in different time intervals.
    Feels good. Down to #180
    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    Nice!! That's the exact weight I'm trying to get to. Only 20 more left! Have a feeling they will be the hardest of the bunch.

    Killer workouts this week - I'm closing in on 3rd week back to work and squeezing 45-60 minutes in every day at work has been great! Classes begin Monday though and I'm wondering if I'll be able to maintain the routine once our counseling center gets super busy.

    Hey guys, any good rec's on a pre-workout supplement/boost shake/drink? Creatine, caffiene, the usual suspects.

    anything from Blackstone Labs

    https://blackstonelabs.com/

    Hype/Angel Dust is a good preworkout mix and their protein is good...I don't know what your goals are if you are trying to build muscle or whatnot I can go more in-depth

    you can also get good deals on their stuff and other products at http://www.naturalbodyinc.com/

    Thanks, PJ! I went to a local shop here and started on MegaWatt for pre-workouts and a new whey isolate post. Dropping weight and building muscle are keys. So far so good. The most improvements are noticed in my chest and arms - with my stomach/abdominal area second in line and calves last. I feel like I'm on a great program overall, though I may not continue the MegaWatt after it's empty. Stuff is pricey.

    Headed to the gym in about an hour or so (when I get off from work). Love Friday workouts because the gym is pretty empty and you don't have to fight for machines/equipment. Chest and shoulders today.

    Great workout to start the weekend off right. Lift strong you guys (or run far for those cardio people)!

    Dang! Yeah, I can't get too jittery. My anxiety would flare up for sure.

    I ran three miles in segments, and it felt like my running was smoother. Usually, I feel like the tin man, the scare crow, and the lion mixed together when I run.

    I guess I have to workout in the morning. Don't like people watching me and someone has been coming home early virtually every day.
    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    Measurement day yesterday. Still making progress. Weight was actually up a few pounds, but body fat % was lower (under 30% for the first time since I was in middle school -- guessing about that, but it's definitely been a while). Trainer was happy with that, as he's not concerned with the weight as long as I'm building muscle. Then we did a grueling ab/core workout and f*** me today lol.

    Nice work! I've got legs and abs today as well. Not my favorite.
