...'lest we forget

/rant on
...excuse me while I go "get rid" of the cubic inch of fudge and two chocolate cookies with milk I just ate...

Why is it we do this to ourselves? I don't eat this **** I haven't eaten this crap for two years! Why is it that I can go the whole pre-christmas season without eating all that sweet crap, then after a quiet dinner with friends I eat like a crack addict after being locked in a closet for a week?

I'm just feeling sick. I'm also feeling pissed that I ate that crap. I'm a little glad I feel sick, though. Just in case I forget sooner than later.

I feel your pain man. Did the same thing and I'm only on phase 3. Didn't go crazy though. just a little fingertip of brownie a couple times. Went to walmart tonight to grab some stuff and had to put down the cheez-it's twice saying "no, stupid dumba$$!"

All the protein supplements are killin' me at this point. I can't stand the taste of any of them anymore. Have to force-feed myself one of those vials of liquid protein that tastes like cough syrup.

Luckily I'm not hugely into desert items. (except pumpkin pie). I cooked 4 pizza's last night for a family gathering. That hurt!

Holiday's are holiday's. Everyone fattens up around them cause of all the snacks. Guess we just have to get back on track as soon as possible after the eff ups.

Thank goodness I was pointed to the Mens Forum. You guys just made me feel human again. I am only 4 days out of LapBand surgery and already made a mistake with letting a chocolate chip melt in my mouth. I now realize that I can get past it and I also agree that getting a little sick now was a great warning to stop beng stupid. Ahh  a little stomach pain will always remind me of my dumn ass moments. Thanx for giving me a place to vent and learn

Welcome BD16!

Nice to see another Big Daddy!

3 Hail Marys and and extra long walk tommorow...Now go in peace my son...and lay off that craaap!!

 I eat that stuff fairly regularly and am not getting any bad effects, of course I'm at goal weight and have been for a long time. Do you guys gain weight from anything that you eat?

I (crosses fingers) don't gain weight when I slow down the exercise or up the calories etc. I do notice that my composition changes from muscle to fat though. Just that my weight itself doesn't change.

After being "off the run" for a few months now (largely in part to "Annie") I'm up on the fat, low on the muscle. But I started back to running two days after Annie closed. Man, it's a hard horse to get back on. It feels good though.

I can only hope I'm not harming myself in the long run by splurging too much. 

Exercise does feel good. I find to keep going I have to vary the activity as well as the purpose. So far, these purposes have served me well at "self-talking" myself into continued exercise:

1. Learning a skill or developing new nerve paths, or "untouched" areas of the body (yoga or karate)

2. Helping others - leading less fit people to the gym.

3. Comradery - The yoga girls are particularly good at this.

4. Adrenaline or Growth Hormone: Sprinting at the upper end of your heart rate spectrum or lifting heavy weights.

5. Balance, Posture and Core: Yoga, Indo Balance Board, ergonomic running and even some gymnastics. Plus the P90X DVD set is very Core-Centric.

I think a lot of guys get board with cardio work so you have to switch it around.

Best Wishes,

Dave

 Yeah well anyone with the amount of abs as you can't be functioning properly.

That's right! I sold my couch time to the devil!

(along with part of my digestive tract...)
