CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
Biggest loser on CF.....

Thank you. I do some strength training with machines and a little bit with free weights at my school's gym but I am not going as consistently as I want to be, yet. I want to be going 3 times per week. Lately it has only been 1-2 times per week because I'm only on campus Mondays and Wednesdays right now.

Okay, my new goal is to do 30 minutes of strength training 3x a week and 30-45 minutes of walking/running (eventually all running) 3x a week. If I can successfully implement that into my routine, I'll step it up a notch. I've made a big effort to go running fairly frequently, and I can already see results from it.
I'm making this a priority at a pretty busy time in my life; I'm moving, aunt from Japan is coming to visit, uncle from Orlando is coming to visit, hiring and training a new employee, plus all of the usual demands on my time.
Sooo, hopefully telling you guys my goal and posting every week as to what I've gotten accomplished will keep me accountable.

So far I've had: rice cakes, a very very small serving of macaroni and cheese, and a leftover piece of grilled chicken

My exercise the past two days has been walking car lots trying to debate on whether or not I wanted to trade my truck in on something else.
My choices right now are
A. F150 Super Crew, probably the FX2 sport package. It looks awesome, rides great, and has the back seat for extra passengers. Downside: poor gas milage.
B. Ford Escape: Not sure what package, but leather seats would be a good thing! Looks good, but not as big in the front seat as my F150. Also, has no bed for hauling things. Cheaper than the FX2 and much better gas mileage.

Coach, it's obvious with the rising gas prices that you should get a Honda. Definitely with a hatchback!

My nephew gained major cool points last night. He is 2 and has just been potty trained. He asked me to take him to the bathroom. He got done, and stood up to flush.
As everything was swirling around, he started waving frantically at the toilet and started screaming "bye bye poop!"

LOL. He says goodbye to everything.
They have a pet rabbit, and I guess his cocoa puffs he was eating for breakfast reminded him of the drops in the cage... He was also drinking lemon lime gatorade. My brother asked him "what are you having for breakfast?' He answered "rabbit poop and frog pee."

Okay, need some serious feedback on "the plan".
I'm happy with the muscle gain over the past year or so. Not happy with the fat gain/loss. Going strictly cardio doesn't work for me so I want to keep lifting weights. That's more of a stress management/quality of life/addicted to lifting thing.
I'm very happy with my arms/shoulders/chest, need to lose stomach fat, and gain leg, forearm and lat muscle.
What I'd like to put in place over the next month to see how the results go is:
Diet:
a.) no coffee*, no soda (diet or regular because the chemicals in diet eats holes in your brain), no beer/wine/liquor.
b.) no carbs after 6PM.
c.) no "stupid" calories (donuts, french fries, etc. The stuff you don't need a guru to tell you not to eat)
d.) flaxseed oil, fiber and at least one protein shake and the prevously posted vegetable medley (just more of it) per day.
Excercise:
a.) Mon-Thursday: weights. Heavy. 5x5 to failure, about an hour each day. Chest (triceps), legs, back (biceps), shoulders.
b.) Everyday: AM Fasted Cardio. Wake up, do 45 mins on the treadmill at 75-80% max heart rate for maximized fat burn.
c.) Fri-Sun: Cardio. Running/Moutain Biking. No specific heart rate target as long as I'm jammin.
* the coffee thing is two fold. we have a big wooden corss in our church, and last sunday they took an axe and hacked off a bunch of chunks so we could all "pick up our cross", symbolizing sacrifice. It's funny, but the whole way there I was wrestling with the $4.00 cup of coffee from Starbucks/Beaners/Who nows where. So I jammed my piece of cross into the lid and whenever I drive by a coffee shop and actually feel the craving I'm just going to put a $5 in the cup. We'll see how that goes.

junk food/coffee no doubt, but I'd bet you'd be suprised at how little I actually drink.
I'd also really like to know my bodyfat, so I'm considering going somewhere to get it tested. I had the body fat scale, that thing was worthless. Calipers I'm not so good with.
I'm back up to the 200-225 range, but I look better and I'm lifting more weight but it's very difficult to tell "progress" with just one number when I'm trying to get bgger and smaller at the same time.
