You need to do something about that rat's nest of wires behind the television.

Quite unsightly...

Kathy well done !!! Proud of you ! like I tell most people when they ask me , it's really 99% diet 1 % exercise . Don't get me wrong , I work out a ton but without the proper nutrition it would all be for not .

Oh and " nothing tastes as good as thin feels " ! Kinda my mantra .

Looking good , keep it up !

I gotta disagree with that one. I think processed food is gross, but I eat lots and will never get low-fat anything. I've been a consistent weight since high school, nearly 15 years ago. My job involves a lot of physical work, so I end up doing moderate exercise 8-10 hours a day. There's been the odd time where I end up mostly driving or being otherwise sedentary at work and those are the times I notice I'm starting to grow a bit of a belly. A week or two back doing something physical again and it's gone but I can see if I was less active it would probably become a problem for me.

Man, you guys are demanding. I can't keep up!

Where's that sexy halloween outfit you were talking about?!

The one picture with my full costume has other people in it that I can't post on the internet. (They work with me on a higher level) So I decided I better keep it down since I use my real name. We are supposed to be "professionals" or something like that. At least they are.

Just a bit of work with clone stamp and it'll be like they were never even there!

You're both representing two extremes. To paraphrase:
"It's all about diet."
"Eat all you want but be physically active all day long."

The truth lies in the middle. It's a balance.

I tried the whole cloning and editing thing, but I decided not post it. You can still see where we are at and so forth. So I am not going to post it.

agreed, diet is very important. Just wanted to make the point exercise is more or less equally important.

I think the whole diet vs. exercise argument is one that will vary so much on individual metabolism, genetics, type of activity, age, and so many other factors. So that percentage ,50% diet vs. 50% exercise, (just an example) will probably change throughout our lifespan and also depending on our muscle mass as well. So, like Limr said it is all about balance and maintenance.
I also feel like I reached a plateau with my fitness level until I started Insanity. Then I felt my body really maxing out again. That is really when I started seeing major changes.

Toughest part is changing bad eating habits. Once you find a more reasonable, better, balanced diet; the weight lifting is easy.

And since tomorrow is chest day, I get to carb load for tomorrow morning. ..who's with me!!

Chard, Rainbow Chard, Purple Kale, Cucumber, Lemons, Apples, Ginger, Spinach, Carrots, Kale, Mint, Celery, sometimes Beets, Tumeric. - All organic. I get more fresh veggies every morning than most people get in a week. We call it "green drink." I try to slam a shot of spirulina in the mornin too...

veg by keips66, on Flickr
She actually did a cleanse for 10 days drinking nothing but this. - She said she felt awesome in the end. Now we just have a glass every day. We use the Brevel Juicer - sweet machine

Spirulina is rough. That is the only thing I have a problem stomaching. I have came a long way with it though.

Protein shakes do that too. I've never taken protein shakes, but I've worked with a few guys that did - and, yeah - they could clear an entire plane (imagine, a 737 cleared by one guy ****ting his pants).

Protein shakes are weird. I sometimes drink them when I'm trying to get enough calories to, well, function, (I undereat because my job screws with my eating schedule).

One serving from Ultra Steroimax Platinum or whatever is like a half gallon of milk and 4 scoops for 2000 calories.

Who the hell is lifting so much that they need 2000 calories just straight up, haha. I generally drink like...1/8th of that in the morning.

Pro tip: DO NOT drink shakes 1-2 hours before going to bed. You'll have the worst sleep of your life thanks to gastrointestinal explosions and crippling (Crippling!) indigestion.

Dave, try sun warrior protein. It's plant based and they use stevia but it's not an overwhelming amount of stevia so it's not too bad.

Nice........vegetables. lol, just kidding Kathy. Keep up the good work.
