1) Yugo wins all low content threads on 2p2. Well done. Cross forum mastery takes years to develop.

2) Alinea's amazing but the desserts have been uniformly underwhelming on every visit. I wish they would just hire a pastry chef.

My goals for this month:

Eat better. Gym 5x/week. Get stronger (specifics: +20 BP, +30 SQ, +30 DL).

Gl with lifting goals. Where do you lift?

Soulman,

I spend something like 110% of my (pretax) income on food and drink, so maybe not such a good brag. =(

dt,

Thanks for the heads up on the trannies, always obliged. I lift/etc at Kru on Clark. Where Know No Limits was, I think, just south of Winona. TY as well for the luck. Fortunately, my lifts are currently pathetic so those goals should be attainable.

STTF 2006 stand up!

The meat in some of Applebees' commercials jiggles in a way that makes me uncomfortable when they slo-mo drop it onto the plate.

Does this mean you're doing SS or some other "real lifts" type program? Cool!

Just lifted, did a short ball sesh and then smashed some pumpkin curry, so tasty. Shaping up to be a pretty good day. Waking up by 9 helps, still gotta a lotta sweet stuff to go and do.

Agree. FWIW someone on my facebook knows the guy on the right and she asked me whether I have the ambition to become as big as him.

I feel stupid for training so many years and barely looking like I even lift most of the time.

You've been training for many years? I thought you just started like me.

Either way, I'm guessing you're in much better shape than you were in before you started. Just keep progressing, and you'll be doing great.

I guess I could've checked the thread. I'm ill. My crud-filled head is to blame here.

Blech.

I've eaten so much today. Feed a cold, right? I'm gonna put down close to 3k cals today.

****.

PS Still looking for 2-3 tickets (surprisingly scarce online)....more expensive than I would've thought.
