I run for the ice cream

The journey of a back-of-the-pack ultramarathoner to finally tackle the big challenge: weight loss

Crossfitter?

So I join the local crossfit gym (I know it's called a box) a couple weeks ago. Finishing the on-ramp program yesterday. Went to my first official WOD at 5:30 am today. It was awesome! I've long given crossfit a cold shoulder as it definitely a cult (and they don't deny it) but I figured it would worth a try. So awesome to be around so many incredibly supportive, friendly people that early in the morning! Today's WOD 3 rounds 500 meter row 12 deadlifts 21 box jumps Finished in 14:45 - kicked my ass! But felt amazing! I get why people become obsessed with it! Can't wait for tomorrow!

This is the technology we need. Please smart, app developer people, stop making things to connect people. Haven't we proven that humans are not cool and can't be trusted. We don't need to be more connected to each other! We need to be more connected to dogs! Dogs > People

Oooof Spent last week on vacation on Hilton Head Island. I ate what appears to be 3-4 lbs of shrimp. I'm a bloated mess. But it was delicious, so no regrets! I'm home now, time to get back to work!

[bashley83]

I'm back! And man-boobless!! So it's been about 10 months +/- since I last hopped on here. A lot has happened in the last months, sadly some weight gain, but not too bad. I had my chest (gynecomastia) surgery a couple months ago!! 20 years in the making! Finally starting to have some self-confidence/esteem! Living with man-boobs from the age of 10 till now 32 has been devastating. But they're gone now thanks to my awesome plastic surgeon! The before picture was before any of my weight loss happened. But the after was taken about 4 weeks post surgery. Still a few months of recovery left before I see the final results. But the sole fact that I can now wear a single t-shirt when I go out vs. layering up to help mask the boobs is life-changing! For any other guys suffering from gynecomastia, they understand how devastating it can be!! So I hope to be active on here again, and I hope my ol' fitblr pal @mymusclemakeover will rejoin as well!!

I'm a fat piece of garbage again! And I give 100 fucks (I'm envious of the zero fucks given crowd).

Good run this morning, slowly getting fast again. Got a race in a few weeks, probably should be in somewhat good shape.

I hate that I hate the way my body looks. I've had severe body imagine struggles since I was 10 or so (now 31). So it's not just females that struggle. I've always wanted to be one of those people who accepts the way they look- that's the dream.

Apparently the school system failed to educate them on how sales tax works, sad.

This guy obviously never took a marketing or simple finance class. That prize money is pooled from what the marketing/merchandise sector brings in. Same theory behind why the NBA is exponentially more valuable than the WNBA.

This has zero to do with sexism, and all to do about marketing and bringing money in.

Want to fix the gap? Support the women's soccer team more than once every 4 years.

i can’t fucken believe that one of the main arguments against wind farms is that they’re an eyesore

do you know what’s an even bigger eyesore?

not having fuckin trees or coral reefs or glaciers or any number of incredible natural beauties because fossil fuels and pollution and global fuckin warming killed it all dead

[subtract-me-from-your-heart]

“Why’d you let the planet die?”

“Aesthetic.”

[bashley83]

What an unbelievably ignorant statement. Only a uneducated moron would think that's why wind power will never flourish.

Do your research. The cost to the environment and wildlife is huge. Wind power is highly unpredictable. With that, each turbine must have a running backup generator to power the turbine when the wind stops. So you're not gaining anything with the wind.

The cost of infrastructure to transfer the power generated from a remote wind farm to where it would be used (civilization) is astronomical (plus more damage to nature).

This is only a small scratch on the surface. But have fun with your fake cause.

Capitalism is so fucked up. People literally die because medicine costs too much. Money isn’t real. It stands for some arbitrary number and people literally DIE because of that number. Because they don’t have that number so they die. That should freak us all out. We should be overthrowing the government.

[bashley83]

This might be the dumbest thing I've seen on this website, and there are some very dumb things on here.

You do understand that without capitalism and the ability to make money, medicine wouldn't exist right? Who is going to fund the 15+ years of research/development it takes to get approval for a med?

Now if you want to overthrow the government, have at it. Capitalist will most likely lead the charge, it benefits them more than you. No regulations or governing body equals monopolies and drug companies can sell there drugs for any figure they want!

Stop and think before posting something you thought about in 10th grade civics class.

What's your favorite flavor of ice cream? :)

Very important question! I'm a plain vanilla bean fan myself. I know it's totally boring but it's the greatest!

Good lord, somewhere a building code manual just burst into flames. Yikes.

does sex hurt more if you've never masturbated before?

life hurts more if you’ve never masturbated

Day 28: end of first block of P90x3 Starting weight: 199.4 Current weight: 193.4 Not too shabby. Most weight lost occurred when I went back to a ketogenic diet. I've been in ketosis for about a week now. Much happier being able to eat until full without restricting calories. Block 2 begins now!
