Wooooo! I am back. Someone left me a very nice message on my MDApps yesterday.

I am going to nap now, but will someone give a summary of the past 30 pages that I've missed? 😀
Welcome back. I haven't been around much, so I can't give a good summary. You'll have to wait for someone else to do that.
 
riceman, what bar?

it was "32 degrees" in Old City! For some reason it seemed like the New Jersey Grandmother's Association was there and others who had on way too few clothes...and just looked a HOT MESS!!!!!

One younger big girl looked like this lady....😱😱

😱:barf:

omg!!!! I going to hurl
 
I've never tried it. Next time I get a grilled cheese, I'll have to order some tomato soup as well.



What happened last night?

ohhhhhhh man!!! it started out not too bad at couple of Spring Fling parties...nice looking girls everywhere...then I told a friend me and my boys would head over to a bar in old city to celebrat her birthday with her and the rest of her friends. We get there...there is no line...I walk inside and I see why 😱😱😱

I mean there were a few good looking younger people in there (of course the ladies behind the bar 😀)...but for some reason there were a number of wannabe scantily clad cougars who clearly did not get the memo that to be a cougar you have to be HOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT and can still keep it kosher!

Ohhhhhhhh gawd...some of those chicks were so old I could see cobwebs peeking from out of crevices...:barf::barf:

It was wrong!!!! But you know what...me and my boys decided to stay and "kick it" with my friend (her name is Kira...cute girl and her friends...not too bad looking...and they were cool). But then this drove of...omg I'm gonna hurl...nasty older ladies

(ohhhhhh I was mortified) just came and swarmed us...

There were four around me grabbing my ass and calling me "sexy little pool boy"....ohhhhhhhh gawd.......IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ILLEGAL FOR THEM TO DO THAT!!!! And all Kira and her friends did was stand and laugh at us!

My CLOTHES SMELL LIKE MOTHBALLS, CIGARETTES, and CHEAP OLD LADY PERFUME NOW!!!!! 😡
 
okay you crazy perverts... my girl little cousin (12) stayed in my room with me last night.

I meant that totally platonically, in that children are typically not good bed-mates.
 
...That's disturbing, riceman. It's gonna take intensive psychotherapy to get over that trauma 😛
 
Hey riceman, I'm going to a cycling class now. I'm a little scared :scared:...but you make it seem so fun, I just have to try it!


that's awesome Berk!!!! Since we MAYYYYY be classmates (b/c I DO know towards which school you are leaning) in the fall we could take spin classes together...It's awesome!!!!

no matter what just keep pedaling and ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS push yourself
 
wow you guys are all craaazy
 
It depends on your instructor and of course how much you exert yourself. Its not like riding a stationary bike. Our instructor here, the toughest, is a good motivator and makes a tough regime for every class. You should see me when I walk out; it looks like I walked under Niagra Falls, haha.

I cannot agree more. After some time in your cycling classes, you may start to develop enough conditioning that a regular class seems very manageable. Do not become tempted to become content with your workout (even if you are following the program). If you're not pushing yourself, you're simply doing maintenance work and will likely not see any results.

However, you may notice that there is usually a break between songs the instructor uses for delivering instructions. Use this time to continue with the same intensity from the previous song and continue working your buns off.

Imagine this like a soccer game, which I'm sure you've played before(?). The common saying is that "soccer players do it for 90 minutes." But really, if you've played soccer, you realize that you aren't actually RUNNING for 90 minutes, there is a lot of jogging, standing, and waiting that is involved. Now, if you are ballsy enough, try to hit the track, and spend 90 consecutive minutes RUNNING (not jogging). The intensity and duration of time will undoubtedly have your legs crying for a break.
So the point is, that is all about intensity and pushing that lactate threshold if you want to see some incredible gains. 👍
 
hah. they ARE crazy aren't they lyss?


(nevermind I shared a bed with a kid :laugh:)

ummmmmmmmmm OMBD is there something we need to talk about? b/c if this relationship is going to work you are going to have to be totally open. :laugh:
 
lol gross description Bacchus...
If your gym offers it, you might be able to also pull off back-to-back spin classes! that's great too. Or, what I find works best, is spinning your heart out, then (after changing tshirts in the locker rooom) jumping on the treadmill to run your heart out. Your legs will be screaming and youll be wishing you could slow down and rest....but the run is over before you know it, and you'll be happy with how lean you'll get after a single workout
 
I feel like all this cycling and running would make my calves HUGE
 
is it that intense?

it can be if you have a good instructor

but I took this one dude's class who was totally easy. I might as well joined an old ladies walking club for the day. It was HORRIBLE!!!! I was pissed at how easy the class was. All prissy Penn girls in the class clearly had enough energy to talk while riding, WHICH SHOULD NEVER HAPPEN!

I'd love to teach spinning! My goal would be to have my class begging for mercy by the time I am done with them :meanie:

I've already started thinking about routines I would do...I do them on my own when I use the spin bike here at my apt.

That would be awesome if after I meet my target weight and have packed as much lean muscle as possible I could become a personal trainer/cross fit trainer!!!

hmmmmmm...does Nike hire orthopods? I'd do some consulting work...but then I could also take advantage of their cool work schedule. I hear they incorporate workout time into their daily work schedule

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice!!!
 
I spin with a sweatshirt on

Eventually I want to incorporate more running as well. But football did a number on my knees. I used to get chop blocked when I would blitz as a linebacker (usually by the fullback)...Ohhhhhh but I gave my fair share of pile drives :meanie::meanie::meanie:

KNOCK THE WIND OUT OF PEOPLE!!!! :meanie:
 
Riceman, I don't think its hard to get Spin certified. Our instructor is dual Spin/Physical Training certified so two nights a week she tags on an ab workout too... which is miserable after being so tired.
 
Let's see: in order, pint of Yuengling, Jack & Coke, Soco & Lime shot, some weird concoction of Guinness and vodka, Irish car bomb, Kamikaze, then topped off with 2 vodka cranberries 😛

I was pretty bombed though and karaoke after that was just an abomination :laugh:

Nice variation there 🙂

I am currently nursing my mild hangover with healthy amounts of water and orange juice. Also, I just had a banana 🙂

🙂 Good choices.

Asians:karaoke
Cheese:wine
Peanut butter:jelly
Grilled cheese:tomato soup

Haha...last night just made a lot more sense. I was trying to figure out what the heck was up with all the karaoke.

:shrug:
