It's that time again. Time to evaluate ones health status and begin a healthy life process for the new year and beyond. With hindsight 50/50 and the odds being 20/20 I'm in search of a plan.
I have all the tools at home(weights, treadmill etc) to do the work and I've used it all successfully in the past. I'm just not sure I want to go that route again. Or at least I need a new toy to get motivated. I've been eyeing the Bowflex Max. Does anyone have any experience or feedback on the Max? [Reply]

I feel like it's just a really bad cold. But man, it's kicking my keester. For the past three days I've been impersonating a corpse on my couch. [Reply]

Then bird hunt in the fall and early winter.
I think now it needs to be work out-golf,swim a few laps-watch Chiefs and walk on down the beach. To a tiki bar. I think that should cover the yearly cycle. Just need to start some kind of works outs now. And stop gorging and slamming Crown and Sprite. :-) Piece of cake!
Curious, why did you give up the hunting? Must have been hard to give up the dogs.
Most important thing is to get into routine with exercise. We are creatures of habit. [Reply]

Rain, have you'd tried taking a flu bomb? Every time me or my daughter starts feeling symptoms we take a flu bomb to stop it in its tracks.

My wife's got me on some immune booster thing that's a combination of a bunch of things that don't taste good. All roots and bark and stuff. She'd heard good things about it from other people, but I think maybe I got it too late to do any good. Either that, or I'd be dead now without it. [Reply]

That keeps my conditioning up, my mind stable. In terms of losing weight, after 35 it is ALL diet. No dairy, soy, gluten, corn, added sugar, white starches. Do that for a month, along with a nutrient-dense vegan protein. Not because I love animals, but because non-soy vegan protein is the SHIT. Whey protein may as well be injections of fat into your body. It's the protein of cow's milk, which has exactly one purpose on earth: making baby cows become big fat cows.
I do a pea and cranberry protein. No artificial ingredients, all non-GMO. Just incredibly nutritious, tasty, and satisfying. I did this last year, worked out LESS, and lost more weight than I ever have, even when I was running marathons.
Any name brands you recommend for the protein? [Reply]

Always been a keen gym goer but hated running other than sprints/intervals. Anyway, got a garmin watch a couple of months ago and it’s transformed my workouts and got me so much fitter. I thought I was pretty fit before but until you’re tracking everything you can believe what you want to. Would recommend for anyone wanting to make a change or improve [Reply]

Neither Whey nor MPC has much fat in it though, very small amounts, hence the term "protein concentrate" or "isolate".
I work at a company that makes every type of protein drink you can think of, dairy, pea, soy, quinoa, rice, well everything but cranberry apparently. Been in the business for almost 20 years now.
Don't get me started on the non GMO scam.
If you like it good for you and you will stick with it but your reasoning isn't exactly valid.
FWIW I started a food safety thread a few years ago when BEP and I got into it over some fucking gluten allergy (not celiacs) nonsense. But if you want to address the organic/natural/GMO hogwash we should probably do it elsewhere. [Reply]

No but I did ask if anyone had any experience and feedback on the Max. Doesn't seem that they do. No matter though because I pulled the trigger. Bowflex Max 8 on the way. [Reply]

Report back to us. I'd like to get some sort of exercise machine at some point. I have the arms of a T-Rex. [Reply]

Thanks but don't worry I am not interested in it. You know how that shit goes, people believe what they want to. [Reply]

Isn't there quite a big difference between organic and non-gmo? I just don't want food that roundup & known chemicals have been grown in, that cause cancer. [Reply]
