*.* 2014 General Fitness Thread *.*
Welcome to 2014! Now get your ass in top physical condition!
No one else started it so here it is! **From the 2013 Thread** If you want to get back into lifting, or need a new lifting routine, START HERE: http://startingstrength.wikia.com/wi...inner_Programs If you have questions about the SS programs, look here: http://startingstrength.wikia.com/wiki/FAQ Keep in mind that you're a novice lifter for a longer period of time than you think you are. Novice lifting can last anywhere from a few months to a year or two, depending on how hard you hit the weights and where you started. Once you've reached the point where you don't make regular progress on the SS program, you are ready to move on to the intermediate stage, which can last you for a good number of years. Find it HERE: http://madcow.hostzi.com/5x5_Program/Linear_5x5.htm If you're a very advanced lifter (many, many years of CONSISTENT weight training), then there are lot of programs out there, and which one you pick is simply a matter of preference. If you're really that advanced, you should know what works for you and what doesn't by this point. |

The dopamine reasoning is pretty weak. We have rational brains for a reason. If you know it isn't good for you, simply don't partake. It's not like food is giving you a high like alcohol or drugs. That dopamine release is pretty real with drugs. Equating that to food is not, however. |

One thing that has really helped us not eat too many sweets is shopping at Costco. You go into a Hy-vee it is so easy to buy a "small" bag of cookies, a few candy bars, "personal" size ice cream, etc. But at Costco that stuff simply isn't available unless you buy a huge container of it. Those packages are much easier to avoid because of the price and the fact that it is much easier to see just how much food is there so it becomes more obvious that it is just too much sweets and it will be in the house for a while and it becomes much easier to say we don't need it. |

That's an incredible transformation. Seriously. You should be proud.

Still going. I have about 45 lbs left to lose. I'm totally guessing on that, as my goal is 25% body fat (for now). Wherever that puts me at weight-wise.
And thanks. I've worked hard, but enjoyed, every minute of it. |

My weekly check-in...have been sick for the last 3 days, but still dropping the weight.
Dropped 6 more this week, down to 365 and 1 ounce. Still riding my stationary bike at an intense rate for an hour a day and monitor my caloric intake..right now around 2,000 calories/day. Also, I'm adding real biking to the routine twice a week. My wife will drop me off at the office and I'll ride home, about 8 miles a shot. |
