I started using fitocracy, and as goofy as it is, I kind of like it. Keeps me honest actually logging stuff.

Ya fitocracy is pretty great. I log all of my poo poo on there plus a little notebook that stays in my gym bag.

Holy gently caress how true this is. First run since going on leave today, not as bad as I expected despite the weather. I decided it was a good idea to go out in 10-15 degrees with shorts, a jacket, hat and gloves. My legs were cold as gently caress until the end of the first mile, when they went numb so it was all good I guess. The road was icy as gently caress and barely anyone else was running and certainly not in shorts.

I've heard good things about it, and I'm thinking I need a 1-2 day a week high-intensity workout type thing to supplement running and lifting. I'll look into the insanity thing.

Same here, fortunately I have 3 weeks of being an Afghan at JRTC to slim down (by not eating anything because I hate MREs) before bulking back up again when I get back to Drum. The good kind of bulking, of course.

I probably put on ten in two weeks. None of it good. I went from limited drinking, a highly regimented diet, and working out twice a day five days a week to boozing, eating, and not working out everyday.

You need to never, ever, EVER do this again just in case some stupid rear end in a top hat wants out hooah you, and have his platoon run along in tighty wighties and eyepro, because he has more hooah or whatever the gently caress.

What's up with treadmills just deciding not to work anymore while you're using them? One decides to shut down if I go at speed of 9.0-10.0 with a "check speed system" message and the other two stopped abruptly at speeds of about 7.5/8.0.

Is this a sign I'm too heavy to be running fast on treadmills? The idea of having to perform maintenance is why I won't buy one for home.

It's a sign that wherever you're working out at they need to replace the treadmills.

The worst thing in the world is when the belt becomes too loose on the treadmill and you're cruising along and all of the sudden, BAM, your foot and the entire belt slides forward like you hit a patch of ice.

I go to the armory because PT is free. I think they get their treadmills as hand me downs from the bigger armory across the state.

I know, and two of my PLs are exactly the type to do it. Don't worry, I'd yank them right back to reality if they tried it. All I heard from the guys when I came out to formation in shorts was "gently caress that poo poo" and so on. The guidon bearer asked me if I was cold and I said no, which was true until I actually started running. Lesson learned - wear pants tomorrow.

Although if cold weather uniforms made any drat sense I would be issued some kind of base-layer running tights, or be able to wear the pair I own for running in the cold on my own time.

psydude

The uniform for non-formation runs is up to the individual, anyway. So the most said PL could hope to accomplish would be to piss off everyone in his platoon for the entirety of the formation before they quickly change back into their own poo poo.

Ref: AR 670-1, para 14-6

quote:

14–6. General guidelines
a. Soldiers may not mix or match PFU and IPFU items. When soldiers wear either the PFU or IPFU as a complete
uniform, they will keep the sleeves down on the sweatshirt or jacket, the legs down on the pants, and they will tuck the
T-shirt inside the trunks. Soldiers may not roll or push up the sleeves of the PFU sweatshirt or the IPFU jacket.
Soldiers may wear the sleeves of the PFU sweatshirt cuffed or uncuffed; they may not cuff the IPFU jacket sleeves.
Soldiers will wear the black knit cap pulled down snugly on the head, with the bottom edge of the cap folded up;
soldiers will not roll the edge of the cap. A similar, commercially designed black knit cap is authorized for wear. There
are no restrictions on the combination of IPFU items worn, unless the commander has prescribed a particular
combination for formation.
Standards of wear and appearance specified in paragraphs 1–7 and 1–8 of this regulation
apply at all times.

Yup. Tell that to your average 1SG/SGM/CSM though. That's one of the great things about being a CO - I can tell all three of those guys to fall in/gently caress off and it's not just for me, it's for 130 dudes. My 1SG is thankfully one of the best NCOs I've ever worked with, AND a hard-drinking meathead. He doesn't care about stupid poo poo like everyone wearing pants all morning or not.

It's ok I'm too skinny and weak. You have an easier road than me.

So my girlfriends uncle lives up the street from me and has a gym in his basement. Sweet I think, he has benches, a squat rack, treadmill and a ton of weights. The ceiling is eight feet high. I'm 6'3". gently caress, it's free and I'll use it for a while, beside my GF there are no resolution losers there.

Also I haven't done a THING for nearly a month. I'm five pounds heavier, but I think I'm 15% fat and 75% bone. Fuuuuck....

You're not fat enough for the reserve component. :dogout:


So apparently none of the resolutionistas around here resolved to get to the gym before 6:30 in the morning, because it's been empty as poo poo. I'm glad to see my waking up early plan has been paying off.

I'm such an oddity in the guard. Everyone, like 80%, is either a lifetime fatty on profile, or an absolute monster who runs 10 miles a day and then squats 800 to warm up. Average people like me just don't exist.

I consistently stay 5-12 pounds under my screening weight and there are only a handful of fat people in my company. In my brigade though, I recall seeing some guy at AT last Summer that had to be over 300 pounds at maybe 6' tops. :wtc:

Reminded me of this guy: although he had a pedostache if I remember right. I mean, I don't give a poo poo if someone is slightly chubby yet still generally fit overall but when you get to the point of being morbidly obese?

Ah well, false alarm. Dude I knew was active (heh) duty, and a fat useless gently caress. Looks just like that fucker though. I remember he had to go to a court martial hearing (not his own, surprisingly), and hadn't worn his ASUs since basic, many years ago. They had no hope of fitting, so off he went to military sales, picked the biggest loving size they had, and pushed his fatbody self into them. The resulting amalgam of textile and man resembled a pear shoved into a blueberry.

Disgusting.
