I think I saw those red mill flours at whole foods, cass! And I saved your PM for when I make the switch


And ps.... I love sweets. I can eat sugary stuff all day every day. I'm not a big salty person

7/26/2011 10:28:47 AM

Big shout out to chocolate covered pretzels.

7/26/2011 10:31:36 AM

Oooooooooo yogurt covered pretzels


Or... Ya know... Chocolate chip Oreo cookies


I will say though, even though I'll miss some of this stuff, I am ready to give up all that stuff and stick to yummy fruit

7/26/2011 10:33:22 AM

i eat a TON of fruit. doesnt help

7/26/2011 10:46:32 AM

Im sure I'll get sick of only fruit after a bit... Then maybe we could lust after cupcakes together

I been *dripping* on some Zuzana Spears since her porn days.

7/26/2011 10:53:25 AM

^^ amen. we can start our own support group.

^ she is hot! i didn't realize she was a porn star until i was reading some of the older articles on body rock and she mentioned her past.

Can someone be my gym buddy just to pass a medicine ball back and forth on a BOSU?

I would like to do other "sparring" type exercises that I NEED to improve on. My abs have been kaput since having Orion. I am trying to build balance and flexibility without doing yoga or palates. (I kind of hate both of those. Done them both, palates more so than Yoga.)

I have a Charlotte YMCA metro pass.

7/29/2011 9:00:31 PM

Me! I like medicine balls!

7/29/2011 9:22:35 PM

YAY!! I want to do that so bad!! It looks like fun and BOSU has kicked my ass quite a few times.

7/29/2011 9:25:10 PM

Ran 8 miles this am.

Furthest I've ever run in my life

7/30/2011 8:32:50 AM

gg Luna

7/30/2011 9:04:35 AM

Just for the hell of it? Or training for an olympic-distance tri?

Either way, GG!

7/30/2011 9:51:24 AM

Have the Olympic tri 2nd weekend of september and then my half marathon in november

Wasn't fun but didn't feel like I was going to die afterwards.

7/30/2011 11:16:59 AM

Around mile 7 of a longer run (if you have a few more miles to go) you'll want to take a power gel shot. I take one about every hour during a long run.

7/30/2011 12:18:14 PM

Good idea

7/30/2011 1:05:14 PM

It helps with dips in energy. Must have for anything marathon or half-marathon-related. I recommend vanilla and citrusy flavors. Everything else is a bit icky, IMO.

7/30/2011 1:51:53 PM

Blocks achieve the same goal? I'm not a fan of the texture of the goo

It appears that Zuzana's porn was pre-tits and pre-working out, so she doesn't look nearly as good as her current workout videos.

7/30/2011 2:11:26 PM

Well some of her "modeling" photos are actually not that long ago because with some you can see shehad her implants and in those photos she is wearing her engagement ring.

7/30/2011 2:47:11 PM

Gonna eat some cupcakes with CassTheSass tonight.

BEACH BODY TIME

7/30/2011 4:21:31 PM

Delicious cupcakes!!!!

7/30/2011 6:41:37 PM

I have yet to find a good "before" picture, but I started back to Crossfit and watching my diet 11 months ago...i am down 30 pounds now overall

8/2/2011 2:07:48 PM

imho DaBird you have what i would consider an ideal body

srsly. you look fucking great.

8/2/2011 5:10:10 PM

One day d7freestyler will look just like that

8/2/2011 5:41:34 PM

thank you very much. that is very flattering. far from perfect though. that room has good lighting for self pics. some lights and mirrors are kinder than others.

8/2/2011 9:29:49 PM

haha, hell yeah they are. lighting makes a HUGE difference.

8/2/2011 10:23:56 PM

can lights FTW

The new tits are a complete turn-off. They were better before, looked and moved naturally, didn't make it look like her skin was about to explode.

Granted she is very fit now, everything else looks much better.

8/2/2011 10:55:01 PM

so 3 weeks with like no work outs plus being away and eating out a lot = bad for me... probably gained 5 lbs and way bloated


but I will not make excuses - I just didn't work out when I could have, and I was like nom nom nom instead of LET'S GET FIT. Thursday is my Muay Thai kickboxing class so I am really excited about that


and I agree with Joie about DaBird

8/2/2011 11:00:59 PM

miss iheartkisses looks like i've committed myself to running the walt disney world marathon in january 2013

8/3/2011 9:57:04 AM

WHOA! Awesome! Why not 2012 though?

I was just on the site, considering the Goofy marathon-and-a-half challenge.

If you sign up for 2012, I'll run it with you!

8/3/2011 10:27:57 AM

DaBird, you look good. I hope I can look like that some day.

8/3/2011 12:03:28 PM

DaBird Don't make me post a photo on hear to shame you into some extra situps.

I have been working out @ heat fitness on Glenwood ave. for about 2 months now. I feel a ton better, and have lost a bit of weight. I was coming off a pretty solid 5 month slack fest after two half marathons last fall so results are a bit slower than I had hoped.

i' not a big fan of a muscular guy with only a teeny tiny bit of bodyfat.
the pic MattJMM2 posted of himself back on page 61 is about as low as a guy can can get and still be uber attractive (to me of course )

I <3 this:




but of course this is all relative to muscle size.
it seems like the more muscles you have the harder it is to be at a low bodyfat and look good (of course this is all my opinion!! i'm waiting for the ladies to be like "joie you crazy " )
matthew mcconaughey can get away with lower bf %age because he's not as muscular.




thank you t dub for giving me a reason to look up shirtless guys

i imagine if i were a guy i would be much more attracted to kim kardashian than kate hudson :beaup:
[Edited on August 3, 2011 at 12:27 PM. Reason : -->

8/3/2011 12:24:36 PM

I know i posted this before with very little response

but does anyone use heart rate monitors while working out. if so what do you have?

looking at the polar HRMs.

well we're going to disney in two weeks and my sister is pretty sure her husband will freak out if she goes to do a race in january

PLUS i'm running my first half marathon in november.. wanna make sure i have enough time to train

8/3/2011 12:48:36 PM

^^^Hugh Jackman has barely any body fat in that picture. McConaughy doesn't have much either.

I think you're trying to say you like big muscular guys more than "lean" muscular guys.

8/3/2011 2:48:56 PM

they still have more than i think most guys are looking for


like this:




no bueno

[Edited on August 3, 2011 at 2:52 PM. Reason : maybe youre right though...im not a fan of abs hahahaha]

[Edited on August 3, 2011 at 2:53 PM. Reason : btw m. mcconaughey has a teeny butt muffin top in that pic! lol]

8/3/2011 2:51:57 PM

^Shave Hugh Jackman, tan him up, and get the right lighting...and he looks just like the guy above.

8/3/2011 2:55:40 PM

really? i'll be damned.....then i take back that post.

i like the way he looks in that picture.


maybe im also thinking more about guys you see at bodybuilding competitions than guys who are just in shape. theres a HUGE difference in 10% bodyfat and 4% bodyfat.
i dont know.
i just know that a lot of the guys in fitness magazines don't do much for me


i also think hugh jackman has a much thicker waist.
i dont like guys with tiny waists.


MAYBE THATS IT!!! lol


[Edited on August 3, 2011 at 3:06 PM. Reason : sdffd]

8/3/2011 2:58:40 PM

lol Joie

are you ok?!

8/3/2011 3:07:56 PM

^hahaha i was waiting for that.


im telling you, i dont know what it is but i am not a fan of super low bodyfat

8/3/2011 3:10:48 PM

I'm not either, Joie... I don't really know how to describe it. I like seeing muscles but I'd also like to see a little love chub - and even then I don't think you would really consider it chub... but I also hate to say I would like the guys to look "softer" in that region because a) it sounds weird and b) it sounds like I'm talking about something else, haha


I don't know.

8/3/2011 3:17:50 PM

^ i think we're in the same boat
you described it the way i think it too haha.

ps my workout partner kyle-holy shit
i would post a pic but that would be uber creepy hahahahaha
he's got a pretty ideal body too imo lol....

but i didnt mean to get erryone off topic.
im gonna go for a run.

[Edited on August 3, 2011 at 3:20 PM. Reason : he just posted a new profile pic from the beach lol]

8/3/2011 3:20:04 PM

My ideals I can't find pictures of but they def have some fat with muscle going on.

John Corbett, Jake Weber, and John Krasinski. I like being able to grab some healthy pudge not obese pudge.

8/3/2011 3:34:51 PM

Samwise16 I don't think "love chub" means what you think it means...

8/3/2011 3:47:46 PM

Joie likes the fatties ITT

8/3/2011 9:03:56 PM

whoa whoa whoa

I thought love chub was like... a little something to grab onto? And not down there
