You know who does like to use them, the health insurance companies. You get some guy that hasn't ever seen the inside of a gym telling you that u are unhealthy and a risk so your rate goes up.

Wait you mean an American insurance company sets unrealistic requirements to increase their profitability.

I'm 6'2, medium frame and usually 225 and not fat. They don't equate gym time.:smiley_chinrub:

I feel like I'm being discriminated against, why does it stop at 6'4", should I file a lawsuit against whoever made that? Lol

Weird huh. Maybe if we were allowed to buy insurance across state lines and there was more competition some of that crap would end. However I'm sure the insurance lobbyists in Washington don't want that to happen.

Still holding at 188. Started with the cardio again and less junk in my diet. If I'm going elk hunting next season then I need to be busting my ass to make sure I'm gonna be able to get the most out of my trip

Saw 195.0 this morning. That's 32.5 in 14 weeks and 45 overall. I'll see 190 this month and should be 185 by the summer gathering. I'm starting to look like a different person! lmao

Good job Jesse!
Now we are going to have to get you a 40 lb bow,something you can handle when ya hit 180 lbs.lol
HAHA. Like I told Chad, I'm not as weight room strong, but I'm still as functionally strong! Easily to be strong when your body doesn't hurt. Plus, my range of motion is better and I've built my shoulder back up. Overall, I'm in good enough shape for at least a 50 pounder!

Weighed in this morning at 193.0, a new low. I'm to the point now where I listen to my body and it tells me when to eat, how much and often times, what to eat. I'm not obsessing over calories, carbs, points, numbers or other common fixtures. I've boiled my food selection down to this: If it has artificial sweeteners or ingredients, preservatives (minus a few natural ones), contains ingredients I can't pronounce, spell or my grandmother wouldn't recognize as food, I don't eat it. I cook with a lot of fat and enjoy lots (1/2 serving every night) of 80% cacao chocolate. I've boiled down all my research into some simple guidelines that work for me and now it's simply a matter of lifestyle. I get lots of remarks about folks who are "surprised at my discipline". Well, it's just not worth it. I allow one bad meal a week and keep it on the straight and narrow the rest of the time. So far, so good!

Yes. That was as far out of line as I got last week minus one slice of pizza Friday night. I shouldn't have had the chips because they had partially hydrogenated soybean oil in them, which I try to avoid. Depending on what the wrap was made of, I'd allow it as my only significant carb source for the day.

Here's a good example of why I'm committed to doing this the right way. On Sunday we had a family reunion, a boat ride and dinner at a place that offered very little in terms of food approved for me diet. I said "fugg it" and had myself an old school, fat kid cheat day. I was miserable most of the day, slept like shit, weighed in at 203 on Monday morning, a whopping 10 pounds more than I was on Sunday morning. By 9:30 AM Monday, I'd taken a week's worth of grumpies and was really thankful for the lesson. Normally I fast on Monday, but I had a business lunch, so I had a grilled chicken ceasar salad as my only meal, then fasted Tuesday. I worked my ass off at the gym yesterday and weighed in at a new low of 192.0 this morning.

Cheat days for me are needed as much for a reminder of why I don't eat like that any more. It's just not worth it. However when surrounded by fresh baked pies, homemade ice cream and some amazing local pizza, what's a man to do?!? lmao

Cheat days always kick my butt, merely because my body isn't used to that kinda food. It's kind of a blessing because I just don't eat it knowing it's gonna make me half sick anyway. Now the food at a TOO outing that's a whole new animal. I swell up like a tick at those. Lol

My daughter is my weakness. She always wants me to join her in sweets. We keep her diet pretty clean overall, but she's a kid and I do let her have ice cream fairly often. I love ice cream. LOL. That's the primary cheat item for me. At least this time of year.

You can't tell that cutie no. Lol. Ice cream has become a killer for me too. Frozen custard from Whits here in Zanesville is even more of a nemesis.
