Hell yeah! Got my measurements today and thrilled with my progress. Been working out 5x a week, weights and Peloton, doing If It Fits Your Macros nutrition plan for either fat loss or maintenance, totally sticking to it.
August 28th: 173.5 lbs / 18.9% body fat
November 7th: 169 lbs / 15.47% body fatTotally didn't expect to be under 16% yet. Major decreases in Pec from 15 > 10 and Abs from 33 > 25. Weight is above my morning wake up weight, been averaging 166/167 at wake up.
Love tracking this stuff and it's so much more motivating to see the data behind what I'm seeing change physically.

Though ice cream + coffee nemesis.Getting healthy, leaner than ever but all this crap to remember TO DO. How do you health nuts keep it all together. I skip things all the time.

Runners out there, do you mix up biking and running, or solely run w/ Crossfit or other types of exercise?
Loving it so much, but struggled to get out of bed. Was yearning for a run but stood frozen in bed, has this happened to you?
- "Loving it so much" is it something you just tell yourself?drgs
- Solely run with strength training for running to run longer. I always run in the morning so running is the first thing on my mind as soon as I wake up.soundofreason
- When my family and I go on vacation to the mountains I get up at 5am while everyone is sleeping so I can get a run in before spending the rest of the day hikingsoundofreason
- Still, there have been times when I have taken 1 or 2 weeks off because I wasn't feeling it. Don't feel guilty to take some time off. It should always be fun.soundofreason
- If you want motivation geek out reading about new techniques or workouts the night before to try the next morning. Have your gear ready before going to bed.soundofreason
- Just to be a cunt:
I think you should use this thread:

Running shouldn't have anything to do with health.soundofreason - My rant:
https://www.qbn.com/…soundofreason - Personally I don’t like to run in the morning, I ‘m more of a night runnerdmay
- Or at least at sundowndmay
- i do not run. too hard on my knees. swim and bike.imbecile
- I like running late afternoon. Plenty of light, but not too hot. I could never do early, I'd be a zombie all day.formed
- When I am on a good habit, it feels like therapy and I look forward to the break from work to get outside. No way I'll do it in less than 40 anymore.formed

stoked.. went on holidays 4 weeks ago, stopped IF and basically went back to usual consumption mode.. didn't go overboard, but definitely were eating worse than usual.. lots of beer, pizza and general crap.
weighed myself today, fearing the worst.
I actually lost a kilo ..
likely due to the insane amounts of running around we were doing the entire trip. but still.. happy camper.

QBN Runs

- The same way your brain acts when you eat that croissant.dmay
- croissant is easier to get that serotonin and dopamine yo.microkorg
- Srsly?bklyndroobeki
- That croissant will make you crash, and depressed, and eventually and addict. Exercise will keep you high all the time.zarkonite

ok to go HAM at the gym if I haven't been in a while?
muscles sore as hell and I'm not sure I'm stretching properly, but I want to try and go 6-7 days this week.
- Take it easy. Muscles are tight when first getting back so you're more susceptible to injury. Try warming up on a bike, rowing, or air squats. Active warmups.IRNlun6
- Avoid static stretches. They're detrimental to strength gains since they lengthen muscles and decrease power output.IRNlun6
- Recovery and nutrition are equally as important to lifting and exercise.IRNlun6
- good advice. going to take it easy... didn't know rowing was a warmup, haven't used that machine ever. what's a static stretch?bklyndroobeki
- static stretch = pulling on your body parts to stretch.zarkonite

Primal time to jog is _____ ?
I want to say 6a, but could be totally wrong. Any of you running nerds know? mg33, scarabin?
I see people freq. jogging @ night... I don't get it.
Just want to get back into the swing, consistently, for the next 15 days (at least).
- morning too sleepy.. evenings it helps clear your head after messed up daysyovkov

Years ago I lived w/ a nurse who explained to me the importance of the toilet lid being closed when you flush.
"Always flush with the lid down.
According to Charles Gerba, PhD, a professor of microbiology at University of Arizona in Tucson, flushing the toilet with the lid up is not wise. "Polluted water vapor erupts out of the flushing toilet bowl and it can take several hours for these particles to finally settle -- not to mention where," he says. "If you have your toothbrush too close to the toilet, you are brushing your teeth with what's in your toilet." -WebMDNot to mention poop can be found on curtains in far away rooms.
- Wasn't she just using an urban myth to scare you into not leaving the lid up?MrT
- LOL! nah it checks outbklyndroobeki
- SHIT!MrT
- I've never trusted toilets and refuse to use them.Fax_Benson
- eh, keeps your immune system upscarabin
- That's fine then seeing as millions of people do it every single day without any ill effect.set
- This is the biggest fucking wimpy bullshit comment I've read in a long timeset
- If anything at all it probably infinitesimally helps your immune system.set
- I'll feed straight turds to my kids to boost that immune system right upset
- well there's another article that says you should eat your boogers to boost your immune system. maybe folks should get advice from actual DRs instead of WebMDscarabin
- my point is i don't think we should worry about shiticles on your toothbrush. that's just nancy stuff.scarabin
- if there are any nancy's here, sorry on behalf of scarabin.bklyndroobeki
- ...like rabbit turd or human? would it be a stiff regimen or rather liquid/flow-ey like?bklyndroobeki
- Kids naturally eat their bogies and yea its good for their immune system. One we're adults though we can simply keep it healthy with proper nutrition..set
