Also going to start something. I actually will be starting a full on Yoga program as well as some cardo daily. I am getting far to big and have lost a ton of flexibility because of it.

It's that fricking sugar bro! That stuff has to be made by the devil him self. It's harder than most illegal drugs to come off of. Good luck and one day at a time. I'm afraid diabetes is right around the corner if I don't kick the sugar. My issue right now is I have hypothyroidism which causes a person to crave sweets. It's a quick fix for low energy but them boom, it kicks ya back on your arse.
Good luck and you got this :thumb:

Now that things are settling down here a bit, it's time to get back to a healthy routine. The Morgan Cup was a turning point for me, I was the heaviest I have ever been, and it was embarrassing, and eye opening. I am completely changing my eating and trying Paleo. I am going super strict for 30 days to see how it goes. I completed day one today, and so far so good. I made "oatmeal" for breakfast without any oats, instead it was acorn squash, cinnamon, coconut flakes and almond butter. It was surprisingly good. I spent a small fortune at Whole Foods and have all my meals and snacks planned out for the week and I will be making most of them tomorrow so I have everything ready to go for the rest of the week. Everything I am reading says that cooking this food ahead of time is the key to success for Paleo.
I am also going to start my workouts again. Back to the yoga and T25 combo.
I am super excited to detox my body of all this processed crap I have been consuming all of these years. Right now I have the sugar shakes (that's what I am calling it), where I am literally detoxing from sugar. OG, you aren't kidding, sugar is a drug, I think the devil just might have created it.

My wife and I did Paleo before our wedding and loved it. I found some great people to follow on Twitter with recepies, tips and general advice. Good luck

I am lactose intolerant so I should have cut dairy out of my diet a long time ago. I come from a family with a lot of health issues, the number 1 being diabetes so I should have cut sugar a long time ago too. I really like the idea of clean eating. It's going to be a struggle at first because I have been eating so much sugar lately, but I am looking forward to getting on the right path.
Even though it's crazy expensive, whole foods is where I end up getting all of my snack stuff. Better to spend a bit more money and get the variety I want than resort to eating out of the vending machine at work.
Some staples for me are yogurt, nuts (almonds mostly), beef jerky, protein shakes/bars (lower sugar and carb versions), and string cheese (can wrap deli meat around it as well)

Agreed! That's why I made the post about doing an indoor hydroponic herb garden. I would love to be able to grow some of this stuff on my own at home, I just don't have a spot outside to do it. I would love to hear from someone who does it indoors with something like the aerogarden.
that's a tough one. I am looking at lots of veggies, a handful of nuts or nut butter. I have been doing a lot of web searching and blog reading to get great ideas on snacks. I am going to make a lot of them this week to see how they turn out. A lot involve turning veggies into 'comfort food'.

You can do it and before you know it will become second nature. Stick with it and take it one day at a time it will work.
Two words: Buffalo cauliflower. Of course, that's only of you're a fan of buffalo sauce.

I am 100% committed. I have been reading about this for a week now, and with the food allergies I have, and other issues I really think it will be a good move for me. I just have to stay committed and not get lazy.
I LOVE buffalo sauce.
Make sure my wife is giving good advice.
I told her about the legend that is Mike Hunt. She laughed.
And if she tells you that steamed carrots smell good at 4AM, she is lying.

Haha, we have been emailing back and forth for a couple of days now. We have also been sharing pins on Pinterest. She is a wealth of knowledge, it's been great talking with her. LOL, she did tell me about how great steamed carrots are.
That reminds me, I need to steam some carrots and other veggies tomorrow. Those make great snacks.
You gals love the Pinterest!
She likes helping and researching cause/effects of things.
I should start a diet but I'm enjoying eating and vodka too much.
Easygoing day at the gym. Now that I'm cutting back on golf, I have more time to get in the gym. Mostly spent today reacquainting myself with some Olympic lifts and multi-joint movements. Less weight, more focused on technique. Deadlifts at 305, squat cleans at 185, snatch at 95, and sets of 3 kipping muscle-ups.
From there, some chest & triceps. I've got a PT test coming up in the next month or two, so I need to get back to pushups and situps. Not to mention running. Yuck.

Tried the cardio plan you talked about. Sprints instead of constant heart rate over time. I thought I was going to fall out on the treadmill today. Fun times.
Hahaha. You're welcome!

Got the kids put to bed and headed out the door at 8pm for my first night of stronglifts last night. I was feeling a little hesitant - just hate going in to something I don't know a ton about, but I figured it would get easy quick, especially since I was going with low weight to start.
Got myself all pumped up and there's a big sign on the gym "Closed for sprucing up unitl 8/10/14". Eff you gym. They always do stuff like that.
