    Gained a few lbs past 2 months. Want to keep my weight between 177-183 but norm now is closer to 185-187. I know I gained some new muscle mass with my more frequent workouts, but I need to start doing some cardio soon too, or weight will continue to increase. Doesn't help having munchies constantly, lol. On the bright side, I haven't looked this good in a shirt since my injuries 16 years ago. 

    Train for (a better) Life!
    So, What you Giving ?........ (Thanks Speedy, Alesek, & Arq+friends)
    What You Giving

    I suggest you step out on your Porch.
    Run away my son. See it all. Oh, See the World!

    First cardio session of the year. Run/walk 2.25 miles. Damn, my endurance sucks.

    Went for a great hike with the old growth today. A wonderful start to a year of activity.

    Down 60 lbs since May. I don't think I've posted here much, but losing 60 by the end of 2017 was my goal when I started and I feel like I need to tell anybody who will listen. Even if I took 2 extra days to get there :lol:

    Keep at it everyone.

    I'm sure it was the birthday cake that made it take an extra two days ;) 

    But congrats - that's an awesome achievement.

    That's awesome! I'm sure a lot of effort went into making that change. Congratulations!

    I find losing weight easy when exercising. Find it hard to keep the weight off.

    I've switched over to a full body routine for my weight training. Down 60 lbs since Jan 2017, just trying to change things up a bit.

    Definitely resolution week at the gym :lol: A lot of new people doing things they have absolutely no clue about. If I had my phone with me, there could have been some new YouTube gym fail videos :lol: You can tell which ones will quit after 2 weeks and which ones will stick around.

    I'm pretty psyched that the gym I go to doesn't get the whole New Year's resolution crowd. The people who go there seem to just always be there -- all day, every day. =)  I remember when we belonged to a Lifetime Fitness, years ago; there, New Year's crowds were so heavy that they had to bring in valet service for the first six weeks of the year, because the (very large!) parking lot always was filled to capacity -- but just for the first six weeks, LOL.

    There's a few fresh bodies in the gym here, but most of the obese and idiotic people I see are when I come back in the afternoon.  Unfortunately, the morning crew is skewing more and more toward ugly dudes like me.  Alas.

    To all the idiots and obese I say, good luck and keep at it!  We've all been idiots before and most of us have been at least near to obese...good luck and work hard!

    I'm not going to say they're idiots. They just haven't been taught proper form and how to train. I just hope they don't injure themselves and aren't too proud to ask/receive advice. It's a fine line with offering unsolicited advice though, so I usually just let them be.

    And it's not so bad having new people around. 90% will be gone by February. The 10% that stick around won't cause problems...unless they hog the squat rack :lol:

    Yeah, plus I see a ton of muscle dudes who use terrible form because they can move more weight, so more power to them I guess.

    Ok so watching pinkpop 92 while on the elliptical = look the fuck out! :rock_on: and it's not easy to find a groove :lol: I was all over the place!  damn these guys are in shape! How the hell do they do it? I have nothing else to say except I burned more calories than normal and my lungs are getting stronger. 

    Curm - am I supposed to breathe thru my nose and out my mouth when running? Is that true? I'm a total mouth breather but feel I have more control over my breathing. I'm not really running but I feel like I'm cruising along. 
    Oh please let it rain today.
