I'm not shy....I'll show you my six pack!

 

[macraven]

since i haven't eaten dinner yet, i'll start coaches diet tips tomorrow.



i have been saying 'tomorrow' for about five years now..........

 

[Tinker-tude]

Wow, lots of Homies are living healthier than I am!

For me it's a little bit of weight and LOT of I haven't really exercised for about a hundred years. I think I probably have the stamina of a box of lint. Although, chasing the boys has to count for something.

We have a Wii I've never used. DH got a Kinect for Christmas that I've never used. We have a treadmill that I've used twice in about 8 years.

Mac, I'm with you on the starting tomorrow for five years. And I'm not even going to toy with the idea of not eating after 6. TORTURE!!!!!!!!!

 

[Coach81]

Love the motivation of you guys LOL...

No problem.. just trying to help a bit...

 

[minniejack]

Coach, absolutely loved my deep fried pickles, then I made a pancake batter and dipped in the "oreos". Yumm Everything made gluten free--not calorie free.

Then our tummies were all whining later--not used to the fried foods and sugar, but as Mr. Food says, "Oh, its so good."

I'm just teasing you though, I've really been sweating during my workouts ever since we were at Disney in August--we walked the parks all day and then DD made me go to the gym so she would still be ready for cross country--I realized that I hadn't really been working up a sweat until that point--I was just piddling on the elliptical. Now, I usually burn about 90+ carbs then go on to another 40 minutes on weights. I've gone down sizes just not weight so much. It'll come though.

I'm back to drinking my homemade kefir smoothies for breakfast, so that'll help in the weight dept. Then I drink a little spirulina post workout.

It's tough when you thought you were a THUG (Totally Hot Universal Goddess), and then look in the mirror and see a Totally Huge Universal Goon

i guess you are used to women and their excuses............

but, you have motivated us and you can be our coach.......


i only start my diets on a tuesday.
that way i don't have the monday morning regrets when i step on the scale.
i can starve on mondays so i look good on tuesdays.
my regrets are the tuesday morning ones then......


some logic, eh...........

 

[macraven]

Good afternoon homies

St Lawrence, so good to see you here!!!

i read your post from yesterday and didn't get to respond to it yet.
i got sidetracked when coach appeared and i thought he had a magic potion on how we could be thinner than we are.

it's a girl thing.



i know you and your wife (and boys) love to do universal.
i am crossing my fingers and eyes hoping that dream comes true for you this summer.

i see airfare has really increased this year.
wow, it is not looking good.

do you think you could do the drive to the darkside instead of flying?
it might cut back on the total costs then.

don't laugh but i save soda cans and redeem them for extra moolah for my trips.

St

Now Mac--I think if you follow our personal trainer's advice, you won't have too many soda cans to redeem

 

[macraven]

but i don't drink soda, the males in the house do.
they go through cases each week...
mr mac can kill 6 cans of diet mt dew in one evening....




i'm a coffee addict.
i drink it black or i don't drink it at all.....

Holy freakin' snow Batman!!! ... when they said 'heavy snowfall warning' they weren't kidding!!

Looking our front window ...

Yes, there is a car under there somewhere ...

... the dogs seem to like the snow!

... our deck (with the path shoveled out for Bailey - our 15 year old husky/shepherd cross - to wander and do her business)

 

[bubba's mom]

^ Crap...you know it's a lot of snow when ya have to shovel a path for the dog Like ya said...be positive & think of all the exercise you'll get.

I think I probably have the stamina of a box of lint.

EVERY time you open your mouth (er, post something), a TAG comes out!! Too funny!

Just glancin over last couple pages....talkin about health & fitness. Here's some motivation for my homie ladies: SWIMSUIT season is right around the corner!!!! Get movin NOW!!!! that help any?

Lawrence...good to see ya! Did I see you *may* miss annual trip? Do whatever ya can to NOT let that happen!! It's good for the mind/soul to have a week off! Good luck!

Popped in to say "hi" and wish everyone happy new year. I'd wish ya's a healthy one too, but been fighting whatever this is I have since before Christmas so...hope y'alls are better than me!

Hi everyone! Just a quick summary on life. We head out to WDW for the quick band trip in 12 days! Boys will be staying off-site at the Springhill Suites and DH and I will be at Pop Century for a "mostly-couples-only" trip! We'll pick up the boys on the last afternoon and they'll stay the last night with us rather than ride the 25 hours back on the bus (we got the $69 SW fares so this way they get an extra day of Disney!). Pretty excited now - got room only for the first night so we can pick up Free Dining the next day - we'll be doing Boma (dinner), 'Ohana (dinner) with the boys, Le Cellier and Chefs de France. Hopefully the crowds will be low and the weather will be good - can't be much colder than here!

In other news, Stephen got his appointment to the Naval Academy a couple weeks ago, and also got a full 4 year NROTC scholarship. Unfortunately got deferred by MIT (his first choice) but accepted at Michigan so now it's a matter of waiting to see how things play out.

Except...we had a couple rough weeks the last couple weeks. 2 ER visits in 6 days is never good. First Eric broke his wrist in gym cast so has been in a cast - we go back a couple days before Disney and he hopes it's coming off then since it's hard for him to play the snare (which he'd be doing in the 3pm parade at MK!) with his wrist and thumb all in a cast (can't hold the drumstick!). Meanwhile, less than a week later, Stephen feel off a pullup bar and ended up with a serious concussion. Honestly didn't remember anything from the previous 3 months - couldn't even tell the doctor what classes he had this year! He is fully recovered now (was pretty much back to normal by the next morning), but unfortunately it's causing all kinds of problems with the potential military career. We go see a neurologist on Monday to try to get clearance and a "guarantee" that he's all right, but started some backup applications in case this doesn't end up working out. Sigh.

Would also love to lose some weight but don't think it's going to happen in the less than 2 weeks before the trip!

Hope everyone else had a better Christmas Break!

Mummy dust your way Hope he gets better soon. I was just talking last night to the girl down the street, she got hit in the head from a ball that her soccer coach kicked and he was about 15 ft away just messing around. Her concussion happened 3 months ago and she still doesn't have the visual acuity to participate in any sports and has to be read to for school work. I hope Stephen recovers quickly.

 

[Tinker-tude]

I've gone down sizes just not weight so much. It'll come though.

It's tough when you thought you were a THUG (Totally Hot Universal Goddess), and then look in the mirror and see a Totally Huge Universal Goon

If the sizes are going down and the weight isn't, it means you're gaining muscle. Muscle has more density than fat, so you're doing a good job!

And you ARE a Totally Hot Universal Goddess. So there.

Holy freakin' snow Batman!!! ... when they said 'heavy snowfall warning' they weren't kidding!!

WOW! We're supposed to get a little snow and ice here and all the locals are freaking out. I'll start giving them the link to your pics if they keep whining.

Hi everyone! Just a quick summary on life.

Have a great trip! Hope the boys heal well and the military career is still a go. Congrats to Steve on getting all of those great scholarships and being accepted to MIT!!!!!!


Hey, Brab! The sun always shines brighter when you pop in.


Nighty-night, all. Time for a thick quilt and some snoozing before the alarm goes off.

It should help having a trip to plan, but not at the moment...........however I am planning to "aim" to start on Monday......weekend is full of plans that all involve food, so be foolish to try before. It`s keeping motivated that`s my problem. If you feel like trying we can be "support buddies"

I would love to be "support buddies"....as mac said...let's start tomorrow
I actually bought the 17 day diet book & exercise dvd for DD & myself...I'll let you know if it works whenever we get around to doing it

Love the motivation of you guys LOL...

No problem.. just trying to help a bit...

thanks for the tips Coach...now if I just had you here to slap the potato chip bag out of my hand, I'd be all set.

Holy freakin' snow Batman!!! ... when they said 'heavy snowfall warning' they weren't kidding!!

We're expecting a few inches of snow and ice in our area and the problem is we are not set up to handle it like our northern neighbors EMS in our town has already issued warnings to expect power outages and told us to stay put till Tuesday...what funI guess I'll get to choppin' wood for the fireplace...that should burn off a few calories.

Hi everyone! Just a quick summary on life. We head out to WDW for the quick band trip in 12 days!

Hope you have a great trip, you deserve it after all the stuff you've been through

WOW! We're supposed to get a little snow and ice here and all the locals are freaking out. I'll start giving them the link to your pics if they keep whining.

Southern snow is like "dog snow" 1" here = 7" anywhere else


Hope everyone has a safe and fantastic week

 

[minniejack]

thanks Tink for the compliment

And since I feel a cold coming on, maybe a big dose of chocolate--they say it kills colds

Yea Barb thought it might be cause DW doesn't really want to stay anywhere but RPR but think since our budget is even tighter this year and youngest DS wants to go this year just to get a tan as he says I may have her talked into going to a different hotel but with prices so high for airline tickets we may have to go in june and we where trying so hard to get there around the same time as Robert and you guys
