  3 miles

Bikex 40 minutes

The new seat is nice, a lot less pain.  Cheated last night at McDonalds, my shifter wouldn't come out of park so I had to take the middle console out and fuck around with the lock release.  It pissed me off so I said fuck it.

Gonna eat my turkey and what not and protein shakes later.

7:50 mile
Felt better than I thought, I was tired at the end but if the treadmill wasn't a pain in the ass to get going then keeping a 7:53 mile pace would have been easier but I had to speed it up to like 9.8mph for the last .2 miles.

weight is around the same, i didnt do my usual morning ritual, I feel like shit and felt kinda sick this morning so I got to the gym asap to get it over with

also hit biceps.

You gotta start a cook book

lmao yup.

whats the stuff on the right?  And I can't make eggs like that, it haunts me so I still just half ass it and eat them as fast as i can

  3.12 miles in 29.21, I had to hop off for about 10 seconds or so around 2.23 miles because I felt like I was going to puke so I ran a little extra at the end.

weight-277.2
-22.7lbs

I did pretty good today with the ladies, there's a super hot chick in the gym who i always suspected of being a physique competitor and it turns out that she is.  She actually approached me and said wow I'm surprised you were on there for so long, I know I couldn't do it, you looked determined.  Once she said that I was like yep I'm going all out so we shot the shit for awhile and laid down the foundation, I let her know that i was interested in competing in the future as well and that I used to be in great shape(before I came back onto here) but in a elegant way.  I wasn't like yo babe I used to have abs and 19" pipes, wanna get outta here and drink some protein shakes while I curl for you? 

I have a feeling that if I can date her she will inevitably kill me due to some organ(except the most important one..hey now) failing(due to blood loss), it would be boner city 24/7.

Anyway, eating breakfast and super happy with progress, i may hit legs on friday just to get something in once a month or so and hopefully in 2 weeks I will be down to about 269 is the goal.

So the head guy here still thinks my name is actually Tim and I didn't correct him because its awkward lol  Oh well, thank god I will be leaving soon.

The workout tomorrow will be probably as follows because I want to get my 40 minute jog in on Friday so I will skip a day in the workout in order to hit legs on saturday(no I wont be skipping a workout just going from my 3 mile run to 1 mile run instead of going 3 mile-2mile 1 mile)

So tomorrow will be a 1 mile run sprint on the dreadmill, I want to be at a 7 something pace and just see if I can hold on for dear life.  If I can keep 7.5mph and kind of haul ass towards the end and probably 8mph or so then I should be able to get my mile time into the 7s

Lol at Andrews ice cream addiction.  I have the same affliction.  Want to quit but it is a nice comeback for when people "fit shame" me by telling me I must not eat at all or I must not enjoy life to remind them that I eat ice cream at least 5 times a week and could put ice cream eat any of them under the table...

"Fit shaming" and "dad bod" and the idea that being fit is a sign of shallowness or a life not enjoyed is really frustrating.  At this point I don't lift weights.  I hardly train.  The only difference w me and most fat people is I used to train a lot, I don't spend most weekends drinking craft beer, I play flag football twice a week and basketball once a week and I don't eat breakfast or lunch most days at work because those meals are a waste of time...  yet I'm shamed for being muscular all the time and told I should enjoy myself more and have a beer...

One question I have is "is shaming ever ok?"

I'm not sure what my answer is to this question but IMO it might be worth a try to treat obesity like smoking.

I mean the job this country has done with the public health system as far as smoking is amazing.  We haven't restricted freedom, we haven't banned cigarettes or told people they can't smoke.  We have taxed them a bit.  And we have undertaken a massive campaign to "shame" smokers.  Can't smoke in bars, can't smoke in restaurants, can't smoke on planes.   Just in my lifetime I can remember when I had family members that identified as smokers...

Now I literally know nobody that is a smoker.  Sure I know tons of people that smoke cigarettes - but I know nobody who proudly identifies as a cigarette smoker.  It's just not a point of pride.  It might be something people do when they are stressed, something they do when they go out and drink, but not something people bring to work because they don't really want their boss and coworkers seeing them smoke.   I think it's been handled quite well... Smoking is down in this country.  That's good for public health.  It's still legal which is good for free choices.  But it's a thing that people know is a bad habit and those who smoke a cigarette or two or 20 know that it's probably something they should quit...  Given this you don't have people mounting campaigns for smokers rights because rather than do this they know the better choice is quitting...

What's crazy is that fatness is becoming an identity.  You might read a political article about someone's perspective as an "Asian female".  I get it.  I'm not Asian or female, they can't really choose this and this identity therefore might be a point of pride and be respected.  With the exception of expensive surgery this is essentially an immutable part of ones identity - your gender and your race...

But now I have seen articles where issues are examined from the perspective of a fat person!  Fatness is not some immutable characteristic!  What's next - articles from the perspective of a tired person???   I don't get it.  I don't get this new fat and healthy claim that isn't supported by evidence...  Fat people are skinny people who have over consumed... They are not a different group of people whose rights should be protected!

Your smoking is down comment, is that just cigarettes or do you mean altogether?  I know they want to go after the E ciggs because they dealt a huge blow to tobacco so I wasn't sure if more people just switched over to those things.

freak fat country

really annoyed how its become so "okay" to be fat, too. my gf is gaining weight and i'm about to tell her straight up you're on your way to becoming fat if you don't stop. it's been like 6 months now that you've been saying you'll lose weight. da hell you gonna be all skinny and sexy when you were single, but not look your best for your man?!

 

and here you are, increasing your vert/squat for her. you need to show her your squat/dunk videos & tell her to go run.

The study concludes that "tackling population fatness may be critical to world food security and ecological sustainability."

celebrating "fatness" is dangerous for several obvious reasons (health, food security, animal cruelty).. this new "fat acceptance" campaign reminds me of the "everyone is a winner" campaign where every kid gets a trophy, there's no winners/losers, etc. Well, that turned out to be pretty dangerous to child development (<insert references>).

how gluttonous overconsumption has become acceptable, is beyond me. I wouldn't be surprised to see in ~10-20 years, where some large conspiracy is uncovered implicating the food industry, on the level of big tobacco in the 90's. lmao.

It feels good to get away from the "societal dietary norms" in the US. I'm almost done kicking my ice cream addiction, which is like the last piece to the puzzle of cleaning up my diet. For the most part I eat pretty good now, and extremely light. I feel waaaay better with my current diet.

Also, US males are often skinny-shamed to gain weight. I've been on the receiving end of that one, growing up. I imagine that turns alot of healthy skinny people into overweight adults as they get older.

Well thank the new age feminists for this, they have been promoting the whole love yourself, you're beautiful no matter what type of crap.  In theory it sounds like a good thing but really when your arteries are clogged, you have moldy milk underneath your rolls and your foot just fell off, maybe some of them will rethink it.  I saw an article that did a study showing fat shaming works so idk.  Quite honestly I am one of these heifers myself and I'd much rather be my old lean and athletic self than being happy about being able to eat a double whopper and a whole cheese cake everyday.
