Epic post JB....repped!
I think one thing that forgets to be mentioned when people citing the whole 'paying for positive reviews' thing is that over the past few years golf companies have been producing some pretty damn good equipment and have each stepped up their own game in some way. Whether that be marketing, promotion, technology, pricing, quality, etc it's hard to argue with the fact that things are just made better and are for the benefit of more golfers and not just the better players. Those factors and results (or even lackthereof) are shown in each THP review or forum member testing thread.

Doh - my apologies! So, yes - I decided to move away from being a vegan. I had been one since Christmas 2010. Initially, I was doing it to support my wife. She was doing it because it helps her arthritis and because of the animal humane issue.
One of my goals for 2012 is to really get into shape. For me, that currently means gaining weight and not losing it. I absolutely hate being overweight. I was overweight through HS and was 192 when I joined the Marine Corps in July 1995. 3 months later, I was 160.
As of last Sunday, I was 148.8 and after working out for a week I had dropped down to 147. I know that to put on the 10-12 pounds of muscle I want it will take more calories, fat, and protein (protein being the most important). So, that prompted me to ditch being a vegan. I will still eat clean but have added tuna, chicken, and a little bit of cheese back to my diet.
Looked at a photo of me on Facebook from the summer of 2010 on Monday and realized how PISSED I was for wasting what I worked hard to build up to. I must say myself, I looked pretty damn good then.

Haha - nope! Well, kinda....the trash talk about winning, etc made me realize I need to be on the TOP of my game in all aspects come July and that includes being physically fit. So, thanks JB and TC. You have turned vegan/tofu boy into a fish & chicken eater with the occasional red meat! ha

*checks facebook*
Just messing around. No, this really was purely about me wanting to get back where I was physically a few years ago. The lack of working out/stretching, etc has caused me lower back issues due to a weaker core. Trust me, I would not let anyone's opinion of me and what I choose to eat influence my decisions. Completely my own desires here....not too mention my wife completely supports this as she thought I was simply too skinny.

Heck if I know, my wife does all the shopping.
I will admit though, she made something with Tofu the other day and I hated it. Not my thing at all.

Lol. You know though dude, its motivating to see other people keep at the working out because then I keep it up. I like losing weight but I hate thegym at times. Especially when dudes who smell take the machine next to you for no reason.

Cookie going away from being a Vegan! Impressive. I would imagine it would be hard to pack on some muscle without protein found in meats (although) I am sure it doable.
Good luck Cookie.

Ready for a true, but "fairy" story?
I guess it was the end of 2009 and was seeing Twilight with the wife. Saw that dude Jacob in a scene and kinda heard my wife do the "oh my, wow" thing and that prompted me to kick it into gear. Yep - seeing some ripped dude in a movie made me jealous and I had to do something.
By May, I will be back to where I was. No doubt!

Wife said no pigs. Although I was a BIG fan of bacon.
Thanks man! The Muscle Milk protein powder gives me 33 grams per scoop but so does a single can of tuna. I think I consumed about 120 grams of protein yesterday. And having a little chicken and cheese last night was delicious!

LMAO. Thanks, I think. (while thinking you a think mustached school teacher around a bunch of kids). ha
I can post it up, it is definitely not a bragging thing but a personal goal thing. I will never look like some body builder, but for being a smaller guy I was pleased that the hard work paid off.

lol. Nah man its all good. I just make fun of your twilight Jacob obsession in the MC Trash Talk thread
I kid. I know what you mean dude. Women say it doesn't matter but they're (and I say this with all due respect) naturally inclined to lie about that sort of thing. Lol. I saw a picture of myself and thought, I got hungry. At that point it was on.
Hey, go back to the yoga studio in your tighties!! Man cards? You wanna talk about man cards? LOL
