troyomac 0 Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 I was doing really good for 3 weeks or so at one point, eating well, not drinking any pop or alcohol at all, and working out 3 times a week. When I ran out of food though, I ate bad for a few days and stopped working out (what's the point when you eat bad? was the excuse I came up with). Then that few days turned into a few weeks of eating nothing but shit and no exercise. I finally went out and got groceries today, and going to get back into the gym scene when I get back from Vegas early in April. I really really really need to stick with it for once!Question for the workouters... am I going to be blessed with gross looking stretch marks forever, or will they go away if I get into shape?

You get them for various reasons, but basically the skin tears.I have them on my legs from when I was younger, i was still in shape but I had back problems and my hips were rotating and it caused my skin to tear.Women usually get them while pregnant.

I got the optimum nutrition casein (slow digesting) protein, mainly for taking to work for snacks and to drink right before bed, and this stuff is really tasty. I highly recommend it.

dolfan 0 Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 I can run harder for longer now than I could in January. I'm chalking that up as progress. I hope this thread is still around in a few months, because even though I don't follow any of the diets/workouts/general advice that gets posted I'm using, "Hell, if Jeff can keep after it then so can I" as my motivation.

jeff_536 3 Posted March 20, 2008 Author Share Posted March 20, 2008 Been a hectic week, haven't been to the gym since Saturday and I feel like crap because of it. Gonna sneak out from work early today and finally get Week 2 Phase II under way. I expect to be sore tomorrow. My gym is closed Friday and Monday because of Easter and only open 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sat and Sun. So I'll get in the mid week workout probably Sunday morning. Oh well, back at it.
