    Eating anything and everything is pretty accurate. Sunday was probably the worst of the days. I started off going to a brunch buffet (Jax Cafe, Minneapolis, do it) which was incredible. Large amounts of waffle / pancake / fruit / roast beef / quiche type things were put down. Two medium to...

    X-Men: Days of Future Past.

    If I remember correctly, what you are remembering is him waking up in someone else's body? I believe there was talk of some dude in a coma or some such and I think Xavier just jumped on it.

    That is pretty awesome Chaos and Himeo. I decided to go on a dietary roller coaster in honor of my birthday. I basically gave myself a pass this last weekend and just went balls to the wall eating whatever I felt like. Started the weekend at 237 and was 244 by Monday morning. I have been...

    Lasik Eye Surgery

    I got LASIK done around 10 years ago, it was one of the best decisions that I have ever made. I am not sure what the procedure is called, but they cut open my eye and nuked it with a laser. It is kind of frightening, but I went for it. For around 1 - 2 years I had better than 20 / 20...

    Was playing a bit last week and got my first solar eclipse. While I did get one broken hero sword, the true win of that was getting Death Sickle to drop. It is one of the most ridiculous weapons that I have had the pleasure of using. It is a glowing sickle that flies out slightly less range...

    Sensory deprivation

    I have checked in to a local shop that I thought was around $60 for an hour or so. I was going to give it a shot but I never got around to it. It is definitely something I want to try, more so after hearing another person say how great of an experience it is.

    I finally hit the half way point on my first weight loss goal Saturday. Came in at 235.6 for a grand total of 46.4 lbs. lost. Only need to lose 36 lbs and I will get to say I weigh under 200 lbs. I haven't been that small for around 5 - 6 years. While I still don't get much enjoyment out...

    Mediumcore definitely adds a bit of spice to this game. I started fresh on a medium world and started to screw around a bit. I got some really good starter drops out of chests (climbing gear, blizzard and cloud in a bottle, water walking boots, ice skates). I could pretty much just run around...

    Oh, holy hell, I just found this out a couple of days ago but if you don't know it blows. When building stuff, use the right mouse button :P. Will auto build very fast rather than spamming left click ><. By build I meant crafting.

    I was able to take down golem yesterday, but it was kind of a buzz kill. My first map didn't have the altar in it so I made a second. Got to the temple, found the altar, spawned golem. He was bugged inside of the walls / ceiling because of the room shape, didn't move at all. I was just able...

    Yes, finding a bulb makes me want to scream. Thankfully it only took 2 attempts before I pulled to the surface and went that route. I did end up getting the 'paladin hammer' or whatever from dungeon. I have played with that a bit and it seems pretty decent. Basically a boomerang that hits...

    For my plantera kill I was in full chlorophyte / leaf wings and I used the megashark. I found a flower 500 ft from the surface so I drilled it and booked it to daylight. I just flew around for a while and dodged while reaming plantera on the surface. I tried a few times underground but...

    I have been playing this game for a couple of weeks and it has been very fun. I was able to take down Plantera the other day and farm ectoplasm for the Spectre set as well as acquire Magnet Sphere. I was completely melee until that point and I felt like I was making my life extremely difficult...

    I like this part from the Staci update, this rings true for what got my weight loss started. Once you are started, it is easier to start adjusting a bit at a time and you are more prepared to handle it. "You know, I look back and I see so many mistakes that I made: starting out with the...

    I would second bell peppers as a hummus delivery mechanism. Peppers and broccoli are what I generally use, snap peas have been good as well.

    I went in and checked out prices at a couple of MMA gyms. I wasn't quite expecting the price tag associated with them. One was $150/mo the other was $170/mo. It gets you access to all of the classes they teach, more than just the programs I was interested in. Technically they have some...

    This. I started entering this zone a week or so ago. I have come to the conclusion that I will have to buy a couple of intermediate pairs of jeans / work pants as a belt only goes so far. I am trying to hold out for a little while longer because I want the size difference from 'original to...

    Breaking Bad

    I think the last 15 minutes of the show was all about showing Walt was not bad to the core. I think he intentionally took Holly to force the call at the end. In that call he basically put on the act that would separate Skyler and his family from any perceived wrong doing. She can stick to a...

    Aarklash Legacy

    I must be horrible at this game, I had similar problems except I was playing on medium. For this fight, what worked for me, was burning down the obnoxious taunt / charge guy that way I didn't have to position around is anti-magic aura or what not. Once he was down the rest of the fight went...

    Breaking Bad

    Hmmm, I didn't think that far ahead. I assume he would crash / get shot by the nazi's making his escape. It doesn't quite feel like a personal enough death though. I feel like Walt needs to see it or be near it to feel the impact of his decision rather than it happening 'at some point'. I...

    It looked to me like Jesse was about ready to bolt. I can see Gomie / Hank getting wounded and being inconspicuous on the ground. Jesse runs or drives away some how. Nazi's give chase leaving Walt locked up with a wounded Hank / Gomie. Hank has to watch as Walt takes his keys, unlocks...

    I was clenching the armrest of my couch while Hank was speaking with his wife. They were building it so crazy, "I got him baby", "Oh I am so relieved", "by the way, I love you", BAHHHHHHH. I was expecting a 'bullet from nowhere to take him out at any second. I fully expected the nazi's to...

    Not sure if you are interested, but on Steam there is a Space Hulk game that was released fairly recently. It has been a pretty fun run through some of the first missions. I definitely got my but kicked on the first level a few times while getting acclimated to what the game wanted from my and...

    Outlast

    One of my buddies mentioned this game to me as I have enjoyed playing Amnesia and other horror type games. After watching the trailers on Steam I basically went "NOPE NOPE NOPE" and closed the window. I am working up the willpower to even get this as it looks crazy scary.

    Only one real reason, which was to see how many carbs I could eat without breaking it. I don't really think I am skirting the edges of carb intake, but if I can down a sweet potato or some other delicious carbs without breaking ketosis that would allow me to add some things to back to my diet...

    Figured I would stop in with another update. This is more of a review of a couple of things that I have been trying lately. Overall, I have dropped 33 lbs. so far with 49 left to go. I have graduated to XL shirts and 36 inch waist (almost, they are a little tight!). I am trying to hold off...

    Breaking Bad

    Personally, this season is one of the most tense that I have ever watched. This last episode kind of broke that tension, the gasoline derail just killed that for me. However, every episode leading up to this was just a 'what the hell will happen next' experience.

    I have been tracking some of my eating habits with myfitnesspal.com. It is good for the unknown items purely due to the crowdsourced data that is already input by other users. Arguably, the data may not be the best or you may not have the exact thing listed, but there is generally something...

    This. It is funny reading this exact argument play out in the exact same way. Personally, I think the best thing you can do is to follow a program that works for you, that you can stick to. It may not be what you run with for the rest of your life, but if it takes you from 400 lbs to 200 lbs...

    This. Also make sure your build works with how you like to play. I started AR / Blade and it worked ok, nothing to write home about, I didn't like the feel of AR but it was nice for dungeons. Around the middle of the second zone i went AR / Fist and it solved some of my woes. This game...

    That is what I was thinking. Overall I am happy with the weight loss so far. I would like to shoot for the 2-4 lbs per week and just watch that taper down as I lose the initial baggage. Also, I do appreciate the input from everyone. Even if I don't go with anyone's specific ideas in...

    You guys are killing me, what makes this ok now? On average, caloric intakes on this diet will come out to between 400 to 1200 calories per day coming almost exclusively from protein. For those of you familiar with ketogenic (low- carbohydrate, high-fat) diets, a PSMF is essentially a...

    Well, the first reason I haven't done it is that I haven't heard about it until right now. I will give it a look over. The current plan I am on has a 'carb day' but it isn't that high. I would be talking 100 - 200g for carbs on that day. Is the reason this one is more ok the fact that it has...

    I think I see what you are saying. Basically, on a low carb diet of any sort, if you 'break' and go nuts on stuff you will see a more radical weight gain than otherwise. This leads to a defeatist type attitude and overall regression and is more easy to say 'fuck it' and bail. My hope is...

    When you guys are talking about normal / whole foods, does that mean reintroducing grains or higher carb intake or..? I am confused by this because I feel like most of the things I am eating so far are pretty normal (minus the coffee). The low carb portion of this is mainly geared at...

    Largely because I am over one month in and it is working. There is no motivation like progress. There is also a comfort level with these programs. I had done Atkins around 15 years ago to get some weight down after high school. I am able to eat what I want (more or less) without counting...

    Bah, that post is coming back around again, I should have explained better. It wasn't the coffee itself that made me do it, it was only drinking the coffee for 3.5 days straight as my only form of nutrition (with vitamins, etc). I stopped doing that and did 'normal' (BPC for breakfast, food...
