    Too Much exercise???

    Yes, you really are doing too much. The cardio you're doing should be spread out over a week - not a day! Run OR bike - treadmill OR rowing - just not all of it in one day. Plus 500 calories per day is simply not giving your body enough nutrients. Your body is trying to cope with the extra...

    What's your bedroom like?

    OK, a guy's perspective...;) We were a bit cluttered and did't give it much thought. After 15 years, we decided to give it an update. My wife bought a new bedspread and paint to go with it. I painted it and installed a new ceiling fan. We got new blinds and that's about it. What a huge...

    I use a steamer to clean many things. It disinfects as well.

    Men & Aggression

    It's not a man thing in general - it's a self control issue for a particular man. You're doing a good thing by communicating to him that it bothers you.

    How can I improve my workout/split?

    I agree with compound movements (multi joint). Squats, deadlifts, overhead presses, bench presses, chinups (or lat pulldowns), rows, crunches. Get in and do 2-3 worksets of each. 2-3 days per week. Use perfect form. When you get all 3 sets with good form add a bit of weight. Do this for 6-12...

    Reservations or lines?

    We're going out for Valentines day this weekend because of the wait factor. We didn't care before we had kids but our date times are limited so waiting to be seated more than half an hour is no longer an option.

    Wife's sneaky spending

    Thanks everyone for your replies. Yes it was tough to hear all this from my wife. Yes, I have cooled down a bit about it as far as being angry and shocked. We are starting the process of getting organized and getting after these debts. I suppose it's good to work on a project together even...

    Wife's sneaky spending

    The "sneaky" label was hers not mine. She admitted to it and called it for what it was. As far as resenting me for being accountable, I told her that will happen. She disagreed. She asked me to be accountable. She said she's glad I'm taking over. She has created a huge mess into our finances. If...

    Wife's sneaky spending

    My wife told me recently that she has been spending money behind my back. She started to rack up some debt and took out a high interest credit card a little over a year ago. She would take cash advances out and put them into our bank account if a bill was due or whatever so I wouldn't notice a...

    Anyone else bulking up this winter?

    Due to health concerns (high sugar, blood pressure etc.) I don't bulk any more. I have to get stronger at 10% BF. I do notice my strength increases still but at a slower rate than it used to due to eating clean year round. But, all my vitals are very good now. Oh and chinups are a breeze :thumbsup:

    I'm tired of snow...

    We got another foot today. This is the fifth weekend of snow in a row. Bluchhy :sick: I've shoveled sooooo much! My street doesn't get plowed or much traffic so I haven't seen bare pavement in front of my house since December 20th. C'mon April...

    weights and soreness

    Hey fitmom! I found that article as well and tried to "sugar coat" it. It's still science to me. I can go weeks without getting DOMS and suddenly I add 1 extra set or a few extra reps and it's here. That or shoveling snow :) It seems like a walk or other cardio helps the soreness run it's course...

    weights and soreness

    You have DOMS! :eek: Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness. Usually when you do a new movement or exert more than usual - like adding more weight or reps (progress) you "tear down" the muscle. Actual small micro-tears. The muscle responds to this "trauma" by reparing itself up to and above the previous...

    What processing/viewing programs do you use?

    Adding RAM to my HP Pavillion

    Yep. DDR400 sounds right. We'll do some more research as far as best price etc. He'll probably buy it from a local store as opposed to online in case there's more questions or he has to return it etc. Thanks for your help!

    Adding RAM to my HP Pavillion

    Thanks twistedsketch. The HP owner's manual says it will hold 2GB of RAM. Is there a guideline to the MHz of the RAM components? The book didn't seem to indicate what the limits with those are. All I could find was that the more MHz, the more $$ it cost. It currently has the dual 256s (184 pin)...
