@KarenSohne Im hoping. I've been doing good up to this point. But when I attempted it 15 years ago I went through the same thing (ultimately failed ofcourse) I just get bored with things. Healthy stuff tastes great the first few times and then it's like I don't wanna touch the stuff again and I love peanut butter so I thought it would be a match made in heaven lol . I think when I go back to store I'll see if they have a cookies n cream flavor. I don't think I can go wrong there

@KarenSohne it kills me because it's helping me out with my weight loss plans but I have to buy these huge tubs to get something other than the basic 3. If my diet itself was better as a whole id get it from real food but way it is now, it's kinda a must have for me at least unflavored I could prob mix in with my creatine supplements and not notice lol

Maybe if I could find a jack Daniels flavored whey protein 🤣🤣🤣

I think I'm gonna go with unflavored whey protein

I'm finding out I get sick of flavors quite quickly. Chocolate/vanilla (I don't like strawberry anything) was a no go from the start. While not bad it's chocolate/vanilla at end of the day. I decided to try other flavors.

I tried cinnamon bun flavored & I liked it for about 2 weeks before I got sick of it but at $50 I wasn't about to throw it out now I tried Peanut Butter which tastes like a sweeter Reese's. 2 days in I'm already sick of it 🤣

Happy Use Your Illusion day. 33 years ago today, Guns N Roses released the greatest dual album Use Your Illusion 1 and 2 since pink Floyd's the wall. I'll die on that sword.

@Helical_Code he's in good shape. I think he can still go and the fact that we from student/teacher to friends as adults says a lot. I still can't call him by his first name though. He tells me at this point in life I can (and tried) and it just doesn't seem right to refer to him at Mr (or coach since he was a football coach at the school as well). He's inadvertently coaching again 🤣. So let's hope I hit the weight goal so he can't back out lol.

@Helical_Code he's still fairly young (63) so he can do it 🤣

@Helical_Code so now I've made a bet (I gotta stop this lol) I'm. Still friends with my old gym teacher. Known him since I was 7 years (so a long time lol) he literally watched me grow up elementary, jr high and high school. Don't ask how that happened. Anyways I told him what I'm doing and he's like maybe. (About the 5k) So I told him if I hit 210 by Dec 31 you gotta run it with me. If I don't, your off the hook

@Helical_Code we'll see where I'm at come December. I'm just happy to be running. Lol. Guess I gotta invest in good running shoes. My Dr is gonna be like what the hell happened lol

@Helical_Code if my app is correct I should have another 20 dropped by Dec 31 (goal is 40 where I'd be comfortably in my mind) but obviously if I'm leaning out (which I want) I can work with the 20-30

@ACG2 oh I am. I dont drink anything except coffee and water. Today I cheated and had energy drink (haven't had one since maybe Feb) not bc I needed it. I just had the taste for one then I ended up drinking a liter of water 🤣

@Beerdini that's awesome. I've dropped 25 of the 30 I've gained the last month. I still have prob another 35 I wanna drop. When I see these improvements and having a good support system, especially here, keeps me motivated.
Injuries and previous jobs work schedule gave me excuses. The way things are set up with the new job and what I take for the pain, I have no excuses now. I hate quoting this band but Limp bizkit said it's best. Keep rollin rollin rollin lol

@Helical_Code there's a 5k and a 15k marathon every year in my city (usually late July). I plan on doing the 5k for my long term goal and if I make it through with only a scratch (figuratively speaking) I'm gonna attempt the 15 in '26

@Ruthat it's weird because it wasn't planned. I do treadmill after every workout (except leg day for obvious reasons) and I'm walking. I got my Guns N Roses in my ear and I was listening to this one song. This speed I set the treadmill is how fast the song is. I'd move the speed if I was listening to say, welcome to the jungle but I'd drop the speed for November Rain (until the finale). Well Garden of Eden came on and it's insanely fast so I jacked the speed up. Next thing ya know I'm running

So I did my absolute first in my near 45 years of existence

I ran a full 1.5 miles without dying. I could t do this as a kid and I definitely couldnt do this as an adult.

That's a huge deal for me.

@LnzyHou probably not. Just the souhd of his voice makes me cringe. If I do turn it on I'll prob turn off volume and put on subtitles

We know the person most of us aren't voting for. That being said are y'all watching the debate tonight

@Vikky bad start already 🤣

@Vikky ok that's what I was thinking too. Thanks for the reassurance.

For you fantasy football players
