IPMC, irontime, you guys are both freaks! I specifically mentioned the temperature, I should not have done that. I admit it, I'm a total wimp when it comes to cold temperatures. I wish my husband would just give in and move to Florida like I want!

IPMC, I have read a lot abou the cardio on an empty stomach. Today was the first time I was going to try. Instead, I ended up sleeping an extra hour on an empty stomach.

I have heard that also, that its awesome, and burns a lot of fat doing cardio in the AM on an empty stomach. I tried it like 4 months ago (lol) and liked it! You probably will too! Good Luck

I do it in the morning but after the weights. Had probs waiting til 9 to eat though. So no I have a protein drink before the gym. But no real food til after that.

lol, and sleeping that extra hour is so productive hmmm yeah it could be **efg**

I'm getting a little bit confused now. I've heard excellent logic on both sides for eating before doing cardio and eating after cardio. Which one is it?

I think it depends on the person completely. Try both and see what works the best for you.

Personally I think it's a good idea to have a little something to just get your metabolism started since your body goes into starvation move after not eating for the whole night. Plus I can't remember were I read it, but one article said that if your not careful and get your metabolism going before cardio you could end up using Protein for energy instead of the fat you are trying to burn.

wish I could remember were i read that at. sorry

Thanx buddie I definitely see the point of that, it's just that there are a lot of mixed feeling son this one. I put up a thread in the training forum asking what every one thinks. Shit, I should have made it into a pole ah well, good enough I guess.

Ugh. Speaking of eating....I just ate dinner, and I'm so full! I don't think I will eat before going to the gym tomorrow. I mean, in only 10 hours I'll be at the gym. You know?

But dvlmn and IT, you're both right. Whatever works best for you is the best option to take. Try doing it both ways, and see what you like.

Poor kuso! I hope you get to take it easy on Sunday, and then hope the work week goes fast next week.

What do you do? Or is that going to be a mystery like your picture?

IPMC, just because you have tatoos doesn't mean you can be a bully to kuso in my thread!

Okay, I have to get to work now. I'll be back later. But until then, a little riddle for you people. Here's what I am going to do:

I have to go take care of ACH. I have to look at the rejects and either manually post or return them.

Who knows what I am talking about?

One more thing, for those of you that know about my husband's unemployement situation. He starts a job on Monday!

Pros: It's a job. The position is called Data Adminstrator or Systems Analyst. It's not hardcore programming, but he is looking forward to learning new things. And it is still IT related.

Cons: They are hiring him on a 'contract' basis for ninety days, and may or may not hire him on as a permanent employee after that. He gets no benefits, and will be paid as a contractor. Meaning he will get a 1099, meaning we have to put practically half of whatever money he earns in savings for taxes.

But we are both happy!

Thats great news, and a good start!! Who knows where it may lead, and if nothing else it gives him 90 days to keep his eye open for something else.

Well done

I'm happy he got a job!! Sucks about the contracting, but you never know. They may hire him on permanently, right? I'm sure he is ambitious and is a hard worker. That's what every employer likes to see. I'm sure he'll be fine.

Was that your news sweetie?
Good Luck



All the glory to God! We have a baby on the way.

FG, you were going to stand up for kuso since IPMC was being a bully? Or you were going to stand up for me, since kuso was going pornal and he knows I don't like that?
