My wife is a dietitian, and has been eating whole for a year now. It's tough to change a way of life, but you'd be surprised at what eating natural and organic foods does for the body. Acne, gone, wait loss and muscle retention, aches and pains gone, stomach issues gone. Anyone willing to feel a lot better and want to be healthy, I challenge you to Whole30. Google it, and then look at the images. It's a one month challenge, and hoping to change your life eating.

I can't give up alcohol for a month lol, but the eating is really good and there are kick ass recipes all over the internet.

I haven't had a drop of booze since the Bucks took home the title. I always lean out quicker by cutting alcohol out. However, you can bet your bottom dollar I will be fubar'd come St Patty's.

I lost a ton of weight going mostly organic and primal without adjusting my lackluster physical activity. I hit the wall when I got lazy preparing meals especially eating out. It wasn't as much about crashing as apathy :wink:

That said, make sure to research the organic items as there is a ton of false advertising. There are also very organic things that are still terrible for ya. I remember when agave hit the market like a whirlwind, only to find out that it triggered your blood sugar even worse than processed sugar.

Your dietician is surely on top of this, more of a personal commentary.

I scaled back on alcohol consumption (my beer intake was getting a bit out of hand after the holidays) and changed my eating habits to mainly home cooked meals that consist of only whole foods (meats and veggies mainly, some sparse dairy, and some fruits). I have been a carb junkie all my life, and the breads and pastas were my downfall and are still a weakness of mine, but will power to avoid gets easier all the time.

I have not introduced any more physical activity than my normal routine and have dropped 20 lbs since the beginning of the year just by changing my eating habits. Now I just need to reduce the stress form the job (:lol: yeah, right!) and I could probably accelerate the weight loss.

I dropped 35-40 just by changing my eating habits, and that was an 80-85% switch (with some pizzas and other snacks making up the other 15%).

I just got lazy with both of us getting home after 8:30 pm many nights. Too many "do you want to cook something or grab a pizza" moments :wink: Put about half of it back on after falling off the horse/cart.

So... had a cop try to throw me out of the gym this morning. All the squat racks were in use and I noticed he kept trailing away from the one he was using. So naturally when you have 1)[Mark May]ty form 2) no effort 3) you squat 2 sets in 15 minutes
I presume you're about done with that rack. Side note - people who have gym bags, but never seem to carry anything in them. Even worse is when they look full, but nobody ever pulls anything out of them. What's the point?

I politely walk up, take out my ear piece while he's in between his sets.

Me: "Hey, man - I wanted to get some squats in, about how long do you think you might be? - I'd hate to lose a spot to someone else"

Even with the amount of testosterone flying about, typically most people are cool enough to say that they've got x amount of sets left. -or- they have like 20 minutes left.

Him: "I'll be done when I'm done. If you look over here and I'm gone? Then you can feel free to use the rack"

Me: (with one of those confused, Jim Halpert looking faces as I'm slowly taking steps back) "Oooooook *thumbs up*" Sorry to bother you"

In any normal setting, that's it. Its over, done and everybody goes about their business. Nope, not this guy. I'm walking away, I get about 35 feet, I put my headset in and I guess I'll just do hack squats.

A hand pulls on my left shoulder very hard, spinning me around. I couldn't get my feet around quickly and damn near fell flat on my face because of this.
As so as I'm oriented, immediately clench my fists because I have a feeling this guy is going to try to fight me as he still has his hand extended on my shoulder clenching at my shirt.

Him: " Time to leave"

Me: (Truly puzzled look) "uhhhh, what?"

Him: "Get your [Mark May] and go, its time for you to leave"

The conversation then turns into a back and forth of me asking why and whats going on....? Do you work here...? etc etc.
From this point, I don't know he's a cop. I've been extremely respect, saying 'sir', watching my voice tone so on and so forth.
Finally, he drops the bomb.

Him: "I'm an officer and I'm asking you to leave. We don't need punk ass kids here giving me attitude"

I continue to explain, I even apologized (half heart) and said I meant no offense. Can we just drop the nonsense? Not good enough.
He goes to grab my bag, steps on the bag while leaning downward to grab it (I now have a crack in the upper left corner of my phone) and tosses it to me.
Points his right hands at the door, left arm extended so I don't walk by.

Him: "There's the door, see yourself to it"

Thaaaat's when I got [Mark May]ty. From there it went into a vocabulary of fuck, [Mark May], bitch, asshole, clown... blah blah blah. He actually said he could have me arrested for my 'outburst'. In which I gladly told him I've broken no laws and if you put your hands on me again, I'm going to break them. This guy is all of 5'7 and looks like he does nothing but chest and bi's.

To wrap this up, staff member walks over, I say I'll leave so cooler heads prevail and we've already made a big enough scene. Officer dick gets his parting shot in. Him: "Come back when you've learned some gym etiquette, asshole".

I guess the staff member alerted the Gym Manager. I got a phone call about an hour ago. Said manager apologized profusely. Told me he reviewed the tape, saw him spin me
around by my shoulder and is revoking the cops membership immediately. I explain that wasn't necessary, we'll just keep our distance, he's a cop and probably had to deal with [Mark May]ty people on his shift.
Manager then tells me his isn't the first time said cop has pulled this stunt.


I've never had a single complaint from anyone about me while I'm working out. Moral of the story - regardless of who you are, a little common fucking courtesy goes a long way.

Dude shouldn't be allowed to be a cop.

Mmmmm ... pig feces. Boy, I sure am hungry.

Asian Seafood Raised on Pig Feces Approved for U.S. Consumers

Oct. 11 (Bloomberg) -- At Ngoc Sinh Seafoods Trading & Processing Export Enterprise, a seafood exporter on Vietnam’s southern coast, workers stand on a dirty floor sorting shrimp one hot September day. There’s trash on the floor, and flies crawl over baskets of processed shrimp stacked in an unchilled room in Ca Mau.

Elsewhere in Ca Mau, Nguyen Van Hoang packs shrimp headed for the U.S. in dirty plastic tubs. He covers them in ice made with tap water that the Vietnamese Health Ministry says should be boiled before drinking because of the risk of contamination with bacteria. Vietnam ships 100 million pounds of shrimp a year to the U.S. That’s almost 8 percent of the shrimp Americans eat.

Using ice made from tap water in Vietnam is dangerous because it can spread bacteria to the shrimp, microbiologist Mansour Samadpour says, Bloomberg Markets magazine reports in its November issue.

“Those conditions -- ice made from dirty water, animals near the farms, pigs -- are unacceptable,” says Samadpour, whose company, IEH Laboratories & Consulting Group, specializes in testing water for shellfish farming.

wouldn't believe some of the excesses i've been doing since I got a trainer

I feel like I'm on the biggest loser :lol:

One day I had to go up and down a 12 story high rise 5 times with a 40lb sandhand on my shoulders....ya that sucked

then yesterday I had to carry a 60 lb punching bag (the long ones that boxers use) and just walk all around our property where I work (about 1.5 miles in total) just carrying that stupid bitch around

Well... Ya'll can relax. Good news, you're probably gonna live. Till you don't... then you're gonna die... and it probably won't matter what kind of shape you're in as long as you're not a smoker (that's still apparently bad).

http://www.science20.com/deconstructing_obesity/how_deadly_is_obesity_really-157515

What would you expect to find if you looked harder for correlations between body mass and death statistics? I think most of us feel that being heavy is a pretty serious risk factor for death, since increased weight is associated with diabetes, heart disease and a long list of other ailments. Most doctors would probably assume that as you move from a normal body mass index of 18.5-25, to an “overweight” BMI of 25-30 and “obese” BMI of greater than 30, that the risk of death would climb in a pretty linear fashion. The heavier you are, the worse off you are.

But that's simply not true.
