Steve is not like Simon! lol he's so nice about everything. LoL Everything else is true though hehe That was funny toothless

I must say, I am impressed with your adherance and it is obviously paying off! Very cool.

The beauty of lifting the way that you are is simple: People don't realize that when you do cardio, the steady state variety anyways which most do around here, you burn the calories while you exercise, and then it's over. When you lift in a fashion that I set up for you in your journal, calorie burn goes on for hours after the workout. Your caloric burn can be elevated for 24hours even. Makes a word of difference, when compared to your lousy steady state cardio.

Remember, all plans lead to plateaus, so stay on your toes and modifications will have to be made along the way.

Ok, a very nice helpful Simon Cowell

Thanks for the kind words. Simon Cowell, huh. I like the guy, so no harm there. He calls it as he sees it... and that is what you get from me.

Funny thing is, 99% of the time when I am posting here, I don't mean to be harsh at all. But you are not the first to say this to me, so I must have a side to me that comes out in my writing.

So be it, I am who I am.

and we like you that way Steve .... as long as we don't confess to eating 1000 cals per day on the Atkins Diet whilst running 20 miles per day and lifting sets of 50 reps to tone our muscles

and we wouldn't want you any other way..

I like Simon too. I like that he doesn't sugar coat everything, and nor do you! It's nice to get some straight forward answers without having to dance around topics. If I'm doing something that's going to hurt myself, I'd rather someone tell me that it may not be the best way to go about it. If I don't like what they say, I ignore it. What effect do their words really have on my everyday life..

In this case, a positive effect, since I listened.

Thanks everyone.

I feel the love in here today.

we like you we really like you

now flex for us.. i'll give ya a cookie

Is cookie your nickname, Mal?

Boy do I feel bad for the one soul who actually read through this entire journal. Haha, there are bits and pieces of info buried among our general banter.

dont' scare him with such thoughts... that'd give the fella nightmares for months... years even

I'm currently obsessed with cookies this week because i've promised them to two differnt people and i keep getting nagged for them...

Oh that reminds me, I have time now to look for that list! lol

Our very own simon..huh? I didn't watch much american idol, but from what I understood, Simon is mean?
