QUOTE (Reddy @ Mar 31, 2012 -> 05:10 PM) No recovery drink? and dude... you need to be eating protein, not eating nothing. cucumbers, celery and carrots are doing nothing good for you.... QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Mar 31, 2012 -> 05:12 PM) Yea that's good filler food around protein, but by itself you won't be able to gain any muscle from all the workouts. I started p90x at 305 with boat loads of muscle underneath all the fat, I take my chocolate shakeologoy after the workouts that involve the bands..thats 25grams right there, then the scoop of PB i put in the shake as well, and then the fish or chicken for dinner...I know thats not a lot but im more focused on losing weight over gaining muscle which I already have hidden under this now 280 pound frame.... Also being a independent beachbody coach isnt going exactly how I thought it would be so until I find an actual job (or find a couple coaches to coach under me) Im gonna have to make due with what ive got.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Apr 3, 2012 -> 11:25 AM) my new favorite quote of the day... This guy should be in the primary. Peavy??? I thought Floyd would be our #2 but this sounds like Jake.

I know this is a little premature but.... assuming the lotto balls fall their way and MJ is smart enough to take Anthony Davis, is there anyway that his addition knocks them out of whatever spot they need to have their pick protected??? With how much love I hear this guy getting I think that pick could be pretty valuable after the draft. Boring day, boring topic lol

Soxfan1 seems to be the opposite of me....i stopped watching WWE for awhile because I was going to indy shows and the wrestling was 10x better...I started off watching both then after awhile WWE kinda started to annoy me, I was going to local shows (headlined by the likes of CM Punk, Daniel Bryan, and Evan Bourne) where the audience was 300 people tops and these guys put max effort into every match, then Id flip on WWE and it looked like these guys gave zero effort in front of thousands of people and that annoyed the crap out of me...I couldnt watch another main event featuring 2 guys that are gonna punch and kick the whole time (stone cold im lookin at you) when there were guys putting it all out there in front of 300 people getting paid way less than the guys on TV...It wasnt until Punk went to the WWE that I started watching again because I hoped this would be a start to something fresh and theyd get back to wrestling. The angles for awhile were still terrible, after ECW was gone it got a little better...The more guys like punk, danielson, and sydal were added the more I started to like WWE....Guys like the 3 above Cody Rhodes, Kofi Kingston, and one of my favorite workers out there Dolph Ziggler(who actually puts out max effort everytime hes out there) are the guys I wanna see out there...not stone cold and his predictable punch-kick-lou thess press-stunner matches (thats really all his matches were).....I'm hoping since Johnny L is in charge now and he had something to do with talent(whatever his title was) that he brings up more guys like these guys, guys like Seth Rollins, Dean Ambrose, and whatever Chris Hero and Claudio are being called down in FCW.....ya know guys that can actually wrestle

got me, was just about to go to facebook with it....since ive been seemingly jobless for a few months I dont keep track of the date.....

QUOTE (MAX @ Mar 31, 2012 -> 10:48 PM) You are right about that. I just don't even know if it happens more often than it does not. http://www.grantland.com/story/_/id/765555...-become-starter theres a link that might comfort you...more often then not pitchers who go from the bullpen to starting actually have a better era as a SP...Innings withheld Sale will be fine this year...this is being viewed as a rebuilding year by many so why not stretch out Sale and when he runs out of gas you can give those innings to another young guy who steps up in the minors like a Axelrod or Molina.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Mar 31, 2012 -> 05:50 PM) Torn meniscus in Jeremy Lin's knee, will miss 6 weeks after having it scoped. hmmm this has me thinkin....would you rather play the Knicks or the Bucks in the first round...With the addition of Ellis for the Bucks they could be a tough opponent but then again come playoff time Amare and Melo could actually play some ball together and be a tough team too....not that I think theyd lose either but the easier the matchup in the first the better lol

QUOTE (Brian @ Mar 31, 2012 -> 04:58 PM) They had a small feud on SD when Cena was the heel rapper. Actually may have had a PPV match. I would have to look it up. Nothing memorable. If he comes back enough for a feud with Cena it obviously be huge, theyve both gotten bigger since those days obviously. Wouldnt mind him and Danielson too, could be some entertaining mat work in there.

my diets been sooooooo boring this whole 1st month I've been doing p90x. Either Shakeology or Fruits, yogurt, and half a cup of raisin bran crunch all mixed together for breakfast If I dont have my shake for breakfast then I'll have it post workout, if I do have it for breakfast ill have celery and PB post workout lunch has been either a salad, with loads of cucumbers celery and carrots or peanut butter and banana wrapped in a whole wheat tortilla. Dinner may vary depending on what the fams eating for dinner, if theyre eating something somewhat healthy ill have that, if not its been either fish or chicken tacos (lettuce, avocado, hot sauce) with steamed brocoli and carrots or a veggie burger...orrrrr my new favorite, mayoless chicken elotes, half a can of corn, some chicken, some chili powder, some hot sauce, and a lil parmasean cheese....delightful

QUOTE (The Critic @ Mar 31, 2012 -> 08:57 AM) Not sure if this is a spoiler or still just a rumor, so I'll err on the side of caution and black it out: Was Cena around when he was around?? Wouldnt mind seeing them 2 feud.

Anyone see that the picture for the power rankings on espn has Kevin love, Kevin Durant and....JL3!! I couldnt help but laugh when I saw it.

Didnt know there was a poker thread here (i was browsing for a legal help thread)....2 days ago on poker stars I was in a 45 person sit and go, made the final table, got down to 330 chips, the blinds pushed me all in, I won that hand and then in no more than 10-15 hands I was the chip leader and ended up winning it....It was quite the feeling!

QUOTE (Reddy @ Mar 26, 2012 -> 02:09 PM) ok lets call a spade a spade though. you don't ACTUALLY work for beachbody.com. You're an independent coach, who, if you sell their products, makes a commission. but my guess is that you became a coach just to make shakeology cheaper. Correct? If you haven't finished the program yet, it's hard to figure you have all that much credibility on the coaching side of things... NOT to discredit your results - which have been great so far. Congrats on that! But it comes across disingenuous to try and sell a product you've been familiar with for only two weeks. Well yes youre right I'm an independent Fitness/Motivational coach, more so on the motivational side. I was talked into becoming a coach by my upline coach who is genuinely making 500+ a week from this (I've actually met with her before and shes shown me a few checks she has posted in her workout room) .... So no im not in it to get shakeO cheaper, I'm in it to potentially make money and motivate others to get into shape. No I havent finished the program yet but I'm on week 4 now with great results proving that even a 300+ pounder can do it, so I'm out there trying to motivate people to joining in on my fitness journey. I've made 90 bucks so far, from selling 2 p90x and 1 shakeO that was ordered on home direct so ill be getting 30 ever month until she cancels(she loves it so far so she'll be around at least another month) so even if my selling stops I've got half my original 230 dollar investment back along with a better body and few more years on my life.

This thread got boring =(

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Mar 25, 2012 -> 12:33 AM) Spent a week in Savannah and it basically turned out to be the equivalent of a Spring Break for me, so I got really behind. Had a late night workout last night then got up this morning and did P90X Core and Ab Ripper, and hit some batting cages today too. Gotta go hard this week to make up for last week. I'm down to 220 now from 240. It's really nice to hear people tell you you look great or that it looks like I've lost some weight. I am definitely seeing the results, which is way more important to me than a number. Pretty proud of the progress I've made with the limited amount of equipment/space I have. And props to you 2nd city saint! 16 pounds in 3 weeks is awesome! Thanks man and congrats to you as well, how far are you into p90x are you??? That 16lbs was actually in 2 weeks! 9 pounds week 1, 7 pounds week 2, and then today I had my week 3 weigh ins this morning and I've dropped another 5 spot! I actually skipped friday and saturday too cause I'm nursing my DRose injury (groin was hurting, thought I mighta had a hernia or something but I woke up today with no pain so I'm gonna be back at it tomorrow). My upline coach on beachbody.com says she knows the person who does all the p90x infomercials and if i keep going the way im going shes gonna try to get me a spot on an infomercial!! Thats def added motivation for me right there!!

Ive been doin p90x for 3 weeks on monday now and I've gotten great results! I started at 305 and have lost 16 pounds so far! Thats including the fact that im using the heaviest bands possible and gaining mad muscle!! I think shakeology shakes are helpin me a lot with the weight loss on top of that too, I feel awesome since I started taking em... I still work for beachbody.com so if youre interested in any fitness programs or supplements please dont hesitate to throw me a PM

Whos this Sanchez guy, and Gimenez(sp?) that played yesterday....I try to keep up with the minors but these 2 names arent ringing a bell.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Mar 23, 2012 -> 09:14 AM) http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/news/artic...ws&c_id=cws Williams doesn't apologize for swinging for the fences with big-name free agents/acquisitions like Dunn/Rios/Peavy GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Ozzie Guillen is gone from the White Sox, but certainly not forgotten. And according to White Sox general manager Ken Williams, Guillen's positive contributions made over eight years as manager always should be held close by the organization and the fan base. Williams talked to MLB.com about a text exchange he had with Guillen during this Spring Training in which he thanked the former manager for helping the White Sox achieve consistent success. "I don't know if it was last week or the week before that that I sent him a message, a text, just thanking him for the hard work and expressed to him directly you know it saddens me that things worked out the way they did," Williams said. "But I thanked him for the hard work and all that we accomplished together and I wished him luck. "He wrote back and thanked me for the opportunity to manage the team that he was most fond of. He loves the city and everything. It was a nice exchange." All sides clearly have moved on since Guillen's departure to Florida, and Williams doesn't see a scenario where that peace will change. He also didn't look as his staying in Chicago and Guillen being let out of the final year of his White Sox contract as his personal victory in a power struggle. "It was portrayed as some sort of power play, but I never felt that. It simply is untrue," Williams said. "I had no problem working with Ozzie [on] all baseball-related things. Some of the peripheral things, you know, I think probably anybody would have a little bit of an issue here and there. "You won't hear anything negative come out of my mouth about Ozzie Guillen or anybody that was on the staff. I don't believe that there will be any, at least I hope that people can move on to the point where we can still appreciate all the things that were accomplished here. chisox.com Nor should he, they were all good moves that just haven't panned out to no fault of his own.

After JL3s performance I wouldnt mind seeing Watson moved if the deal was right..Say with a pick for an OJ Mayo or someone like that. Though once/if Rip comes back it creates a bit of a log jam.

This is awesome.

Based on the latest Walterfootball. com draft If I were running things I'd.. Address the O line and grab a Safety in FA RD1 Whitney Mercilus DE RD2 Jayron Hosley CB RD3 Bruce Irvine OLB RD4 Ladarius Green TE RD5 A.J. Jenkins WR I think thatd be one hell of an offseason.

I can dig the KG Pierce trade, if it goes through you'd have to think Thibs had some input in it and he'd think we'd be better off, with those 2 bein his guys for several years. I especially like it after seeing both Brewer and Butler play so well today. You've got Pierce this year and next (right?) and by then I really think Butler, under thibs and working with all these good players, will be ready to start, and if hes not you got the Pierce money off the books to get a new SF (or give it to Brewer). Then you have Garnetts expiring contract, so youve got Garnett for this year then either Taj next year or you use Garnetts money to sign another PF. This year youve got Rose-CJ Rip-Brewer-Korver Pierce-Korver-Butler KG-Taj Noah- Rasheed Wallace I know Sheeds viewed as more of a PF but he's 6'11, him and Taj can work together. It also keeps him away from Miami who he's worked out with. I think the Bulls would have the upper hand since Sheed has played with/for KG, PP and Thibs on a Eastern Conference Champion team. Then next year I'd love to see Rose-Watson E. Gordon-Brewer-Korver Pierce-Korver- Butler Taj-Mirotic (hopefully) Noah-FA/draft pick Or if KGs contract + an amnestied Rip contract doesnt equal Gordon then I'd like something like Rose-Watson Mayo-Brewer-Korver Pierce-Korver-Butler Taj-Mirotic Noah-Hawes Once again If this trade were to happen I think itd be what Thibs wants and in Thibs I trust.

what about Santiago, hes looked good so far in spring I meant to quote Balta here

Alex Rios and thornton for Peter Bourjos. if only the money was right

QUOTE (iamshack @ Feb 24, 2012 -> 10:55 AM) Well I could sell timeshares and that would be legit, too. I think the point is that this is not the appropriate place for that. An official work out thread?? seems like a perfect place for this! You get paid to workout!! If there were an official timeshares thread then go for it man itd be worth a shot, as me posting this here is as well...I really think its a great opportunity and I wanted to spread the word to my favorite message board....if this was against any kind of rules I apologize and feel free to delete my posts
