I started drinking way more whiskey last year than beer. This year I've switched to gin a bit more. It offsets the tummy I've gotten from eating terribly.

I'm in, but I need more motivation. It would help if my friends did it too, but no.

its a free weight tracker... you set up your ideal weight..... and it shows you avgs over the course of time....
you don't need to concentrate on the before meal, after meal etc....just use it as a general tracker...

So what's your take on multi-vitamins, kOna?
I'm taking the Mega Men multivitamin from GNC. I did a little vitamin research beforehand and it seemed to be the best that I could find, no overload of anything that can cause problems down the road or anything.

(Jan 2 07, 14:05)That one is pretty good. I've taken that before. I thought it was a bit pricey though. If it's not that is a good one to take.

(I'm typing, my wife is talking. We have the ball rolling on a blog/forum for questions like these and basic information possibly with video examples of training exercises, modifications, descriptions and a 'muscle of the week' that you can target to train. Probably a lot more but we'll see.)
Cinco:
First, you always want to take a vitamin that is in a capsule form. Um, lifetime fitness has one of the best mens multivitamins. You can buy them from their website. as of late that’s what my husband and I have been taking. Go to shop with a trainer and enter 43227 for the promo code and you’ll get 15% off your purchase. 2nd. Do cardio 3-5 times a week, minimum 45 minutes at the most 60 minutes in one session. If on a 3 day rotation 2 of the days work at a 2% incline about 65% - 70% max heartrate. And on middle day do intervals ranging from 6, 8 and 10% inclines in 2 minute increments per incline. 4x throughout the 60 minutes having the rest of your minutes in 2% incline. Mph depend on your intensity and max heart rate. To figure out your max heartrate do 220 – your age x the intensity you want to work (.65 - .70). Also work in 3-4 days resistance training. First two weeks 2 sets of each of 12-20 repititions. Weeks 3-5 do 3 sets 12-20 reps. Weeks 6-8 do 4 sets at 15-30 reps. Do 2 excercises per bodypart.Mg33:
You can buy eggwhites in their own little milk carton looking boxes. They’re in the same aisle as the eggs. Look for the tiny carton. Eiher 100% egg whites or 99% egg beaters cartons will work. I hardboil eggs and yes I throw out the yolk.Seed:
Yes as long as it’s a healthy meal. But don’t eat 3 hours before bed. If you go to bed at 11pm try and make your last meal at 8pm. And only fist sized portions of food which should include protein, complex carb and a veggie.Seed:
“drinking hard liquor instead of beer” Vodka and tonic is the least calorie drink you can buy. Try to stay away from the cranberry, pineapple and orange juice drinks. Too high in sugar.Liquid:
the important question is the difference between complex carbs and simple carbs. Stay away from the simple carbs if you can. Which is your chips, candy, fruit juices, white bread and white pasta, pizza etc. you should have 3-4 servings of complex carbs fist size. Brown rice, good cereals wheat pasta and such. You want to try to get a comlex carb in the morning with protein and a fruit, then a midsnack in the middle of the morning with another serving of protein which can be 15 almonds or a piece of string cheese and a piece of fruit. The snack can also be a meal replacement bar such as a zone bar. Then lunch a complex carb (2 pieces of rye or wheat bread, a serving of protein and a veggie) mid afternoon snack can be a half a zone bar with veggie or fruit. Or, a piece of string cheese or a veggie. Then dinner should simulate your lunch.

Thanks Ms. k0na!

"First, you always want to take a vitamin that is in a capsule form."
Does it have to be? I'm not so good at swallowing larger caplets, which is one of the main reasons I stick to a small coated One-A-Day. Do you know of a good multi-V that is really small in size? Also what's the difference between a One-A-Day and one of the mens multi-V's your recommending?
As for my exercising, I've been out of the loop for a while so I'm working my way back in. At the moment, I do a 5-10 minute warm up on the Precor, then 20-30 on the stationary bike. I finish off with a circuit of weight machines (I am in no form to actually use free weights yet...and Fabio goes to my gym! VERY INTIMIDATING!) Is what I'm doing good? Maybe not great, but am I on the right track?
Thanks again for the help Ms. k0na!

Fabio intimidating?this guy goes to my gym.

and believe me, seeing him in person is about 5 times crazier than looking at those pics
- Point50
also, you wanna know what else is intimidating?
I worked out with a buddy of mine tonight and he shrugged 855 lbs. for 7 reps... I almost fell out on the fuckin floor. He didn't even use his straps til he put the 9th plate on each side. He hit 630lbs. for 20 reps just two sets before that; barehanded, no straps.
That's intimidating.

Point5, The guy looks rather insane than healthy. To put this amount of muscles on (not to mention excessive tanning, johnson's baby oil usage, brazillians/hollywoods).. he must have issues.
I appreciate the enormous effort, but this is self-obsessive madness gone wrong Michael Jackson - style.
