12 pound turkey challenge

[SkinBasket]

Fuck me.

Anyway, if I don't lose 12 pounds by Thanksgiving, I'm going to masturbate into a jar then artificially inseminate my neutered cat. How's that for consequences?

I weigh more than most of you today. I didn't exercise today because I'm sick. Everyone's sick. Even the cocksucking cat is sick. He hasn't eaten in two days, maybe three. He might die soon. I hope he does it tonight, because the garbage truck comes tomorrow. I last exercised last Wednesday, when I submitted two blue belts at jiu jitsu. One of them blew snot all over his face while I choked him. The other just gave up because I was suffocating him in my loins while working a kimura on his old ass.

Breakfast: water.
Lunch: Frappachino. Vanilla.
Dinner: Fried rice, tortilla chips and salsa con queso (that means cheese with salsa madtown) and like 5 or 6 mini candy bars.


I used to love you. Now I would throw you down a well without a second thought.

[Scott Campbell]

Sometimes I keep my feelings all bottled up inside of me. I'll bet the neighborhood cats are relieved.

I never realized you could fuck up formatting so much with just text?

[MJZiggy]

What the hell happened?

Would it make you feel better if I told you that today I had:

breakfast: hot chocolate and mixed nuts
tea
lunch: rice noodle soup, cheetos, 2 cookies, peanut m&ms
dinner: yogurt, cheese, a peanut butter cup and I'll think of something else eventually.

I forgot to add the dinner bottle of pinot grigio + 1 glass of Riesling (for dessert).

What's the rumpus? What happened to the previous turkey thread, the one with all the declarations and prognostications about lifting weights and losing weight and eating or not eating?

[SkinBasket]

weight: 204
exercise: none

breakfast: golden grahams and 2% milk
lunch: potatoes au gratin and 2% milk
dinner: 1 dozen crab rangoons, 1 mild beef szechuan beef with white rice, 3 vodka gimlets, and 1 peppermint candy.

Fuck ya'll.

Holy shit a dozen? Way to eat chubbs

you should really chew your food before you swallow. digestion starts in the mouth. without proper chewing your stomach has little chance.

you might also choke.

[SkinBasket]

weight: 200.8
exercise: unwilling colon cleansing and the exhausting daily labor of raising two boys

breakfast: golden grahams and 2% milk
lunch: turkey and potatoes au gratin and 2% milk
diner: beef tenderloin stroganoff with garlic, mushrooms, and green onion served over egg noodles and topped with Parmesan cheese, a handful of potato chips, and two walnut/coconut cookies with a bottle of Sterling Pinot Noir.

While my weight has remained constant, the muscular gains have visually offset my belly. That provides motivation to start actually getting in shape soon.

Basket old boy...you need to find a way to work some wonderful spam into the diet.

I totally worked out today. Details to follow.

[SkinBasket]

weight: 201.5

breakfast: sweat and tears
lunch: ham, sweet potatoes, and potatoes au gratin with 2% milk
diner: 2/3 of a cheese pizza, 2 beef stcks, 6 cheese cubes, 1 cookie, and 5 mini candy bars, and 4 gimlets.

breakfast: half bowl of golden grahams and 2% milk
lunch: kashi veggie bake with buttered bread and 2% milk

Recipe?

We use pre-made ravioli. While the water's boiling and the pasta's cooking, cook 6 slices of good bacon, take it out and crumble it. Wipe the pan, add 2 tablespoons olive oil, and brown 2 chopped cloves garlic. Add 8 cups spinach, and the bacon, with1 tablespoon lemon juice. Salt and pepper to your taste. Dump it on the ravioli and eat it. I add a little Parmesan on top - for my diet's sake.

It's a very robustly flavored and quick dinner. I'm just glad the worst poster on the board could contribute to a kind hearted fair discussion.

You can't leave anything alone. You're pathetic. As usual, you are the instigator. You have it coming, I hope you understand this.

I would appreciate not being threatened or told what I can and cannot post while trying to have a conversation with another poster. Also, if you don't have something positive to say about my diet plan/exercise routine, I would appreciate you keeping your comments to yourself. Thank you.

The only bacon we use.

Not so sure about the Canadian bacon. Isn't that more like ham? The bacon adds a lot of the smoky flavor that compliments the cheese in the ravioli, so I would stick with that.

[Zool]

Canadian bacon is a bit more smokey than just ham but it wouldnt give that little bit of crunch that bacon crumbles do. It would work in a pinch I would think but not deliver as well.

Where is the Skinbasket recipe thread? There was some good stuff in there.

[SkinBasket]

weight: 202.8
exercise: none. other than setting up the Christmas tree, saturday was a recovery day.

breakfast: a banana/carnation instant breakfast/milk/frozen berry smoothie
lunch: microwave Chinese noodle meal.
dinner: some shrimp, corn, bacon, and rice meal my wife made, chips, cheese cubes, and the last coconut cookie. And a bottle of syrah - which means an early morning headache.

My metabolism is really picking up. My boobs are also bigger. I am becoming more powerful.

[hoosier]

What is with the cheese cubes? It reminds me of my two year old's diet: grapes, cheese sticks, goldfish, bread, more cheese sticks, some more cheese sticks.

[SkinBasket]

Sharp cheddar cut into convenient bite sized servings then paired with processed meat, cheddar flavored chips and red wine? What's not to like?

Processed ain't the same as butchered, etc.

It implies something completely else.

Not really. They have this cool thing called the internet, and you can find purveyors who ship all across the country.

for example: http://www.heritagefoodsusa.com/farmers/charcuterie.html

or

http://www.salumeriabiellese.com/

key words to search: charcuterie or salumeria.

[Little Whiskey]

actually skin, deer season is finishing up and you should be able to find hand made sausage and beef/venison stick all around. just find a friend who hunts. I think nutz is a hunter. maybe if your nice to him he would share.

[HowardRoark]

It's going to be 5 days of exercise per week come January and it's going to be spectacular. Big things are coming. I'm feeling it!

[SkinBasket]

weight: 199.5
exercise: shoveling hundreds of pounds of compressed snow and ice when our plow driver drove his busted ass truck over our driveway several times then drove away shouting, "I can't even steer my truck!" because his power steering fluid was splattered all over the place.

breakfast: banana/carnation/milk/frozen berry smoothie
lunch: spaghettios with milk
dinner: homemade mac and cheese with prosciutto, spinach, and truffle oil, toasted chips and cheese spread, candy, and a bottle of red wine.

[SkinBasket]

I've managed to gain almost 10 pounds in the last week, so I'm considering this diet a great success. I'm simultaneously building muscle and fat! It's like having my cake and literally eating it too.

weight: 207.8
exercise: resting a sore neck and shoulders.
breakfast: Perkins pot roast with mac and cheese and mashed potatoes and gravy and a bun with water.
Lunch: 3 grapes
diner: chicken wings with ranch dressing, mac and cheese, potato chips, two chocolate covered pretzels, and a terrible bottle of sauvignon blanc that I bought because it had a coupon for two dollars off the hamburger I bought.

The snow didn't start until I was almost home and won't stop until sometime tomorrow so no shoveling yet. Looking out the window, looks like almost 6 inches last night. And I still have to do some major Christmas shopping. (Unless someone can FedEx me some Lego base plates at least 6x8 inches)

Skin, it was a holiday party, not the buffet.

People here are funny about snow. I helped a couple get their mini cooper unstuck when they tried to pull around a corner into a parking spot through 8 inches of snow. Seriously. They thought the car would magically push the snow out of the way :shock:

exercise: high-rep, high speed curls (and reverse curls), triceps pulldowns, and a variety of benches. I need to stretch and strengthen the elbows to stave off medial and lateral epicondylitis which has become an issue.

Here's one review of zantrex 3 that made me decide to try it straight out of the discontinued/discount bin at walgreens:

Withing 2 days of starting this pill...as directed...I was depressed...thinking of committing suicide...I could not sleep...I was cold, shaking, every bone in my head hurt...including my teeth, jaw bone, cheek bones...I am taking it back and asking the store I bought it at to pull it off the shelves!!

Do you drink the bottle of Cab by yourself or does your spouse help you?

[SkinBasket]

Do you drink the bottle of Cab by yourself or does your spouse help you?

She doesn't like wine. Unfortunately I am left to drink those bottles by myself. I used to think a bottle a night might be too much, but it works out quite nicely considering how much food I eat and it's not like I'm still drunk the next morning.

[hoosier]

I am in a similar boat: a wife who doesn't appreciate the pleasures of wine, and kids who are at least a decade away from where you would even consider putting a wine glass at their plate. But at least that way there are no arguments about what wine to buy.

I usually end up drinking a little less than half the bottle and saving the rest for the next day. Anything more than that and it's very hard to do anything useful after getting the kids off to bed. Of course, after all the bedtime battles are finally over the thing that really calls out to me is that other half bottle of wine.

I could give a fuck about your weight or diet....just keep posting pictures like that.

[SkinBasket]

I have a jug of NO Xplode, a neoprene arm sleeve, and a bottle of some OxyElite Pro something or other. Obviously all the ingredients to lose weight.

I had to stop taking the Zantrex because I was having muscle spams all night long. It wasn't a problem for me because I was asleep, but apparently I accidentally punched my wife a couple times during my seizures. It also didn't seem to have any other positive effects than the automated nocturnal exercises.

Weight: 202.5
exercise: I took two scoops of NO Xplode and sat in a chair. I was going to exercise, but didn't feel like it. But I also haven't eaten anything today, so I guess it's a wash so far.

I guess I should change the name of this thread to some other unattainable goal.

You should have seen the original version of this thread that Partial started. It really was one of Packerrats greatest hits: comedy, drama, angst, injuries, threats of physical violence. Those were the days...

Hey admin dood. Now that Partials gone and twoseven is here to administer informed physical fitness opinions, how about we bring that original thread back to the GC? I could read that, the pregnancy thread, and the thread about nutz being banned a hundred times without getting bored. We lost a lot of valuable information in that thread. Maybe not as much as that one we had in FYI with the reading list, but then again the value of information is abjectly subjective, no?

Better yet, you could merge this one onto the old one! I would pay you one dollar for your efforts. And a 50% bonus if you complete the task by May 1st, when I return from Vegas and begin my conversion into a sleek, muscle bound sex machine. I would gladly accept having my very interesting blog about maybe losing weight moved to the GC in exchange for the return of the lost tombs of knowledge that were lost.

bringing back any of the educational beatdown i got from Partial might just be enough to get me to kill again. borrow some of your NO Explode shit and it's a guarantee.

also, as much fun as it was the first go round with me answering questions in regards to health and fitness before wonder boy made it hell for me, i'm going to take a pass on it this go round. what i can offer is a 28 page pdf i have put together that answers mosts non-habit (bad habits, that is) forming questions about this stuff. i'll email it if people pm their addys. i don't mind helping you out skin, some others here too. but there is still a shortlist of real fuckheads that crusie this place that i would rather see fall from a cliff than give even one ounce of help to. hope you can understand.

Diner: homemade general tso chicken with brown rice, potato chips, a beef stick, and a bottle of pinot grigio.

I figure I could lose a couple of pounds by shaving my chest, but the hairless look makes me look fatter. Decisions. Decisions.

Backup Skin. How do you do your sauce? I've tried Tso's at home a bunch of times but have never achieved anything worth making again.

Clefty lasted 30 seconds doing this routine. Four emergency vehicles and two hours of CPR later and I was relaxing comfortably in the intensive care ward. At least I had two nights without the wife bothering me to unclog her sinks.

I'll get back to you on that. I'm currently closing the Ritz Carlton at Lake Las Vegas. By closing I mean laying about my suite lamenting the loss of hundreds more jobs at the hands of a President who decided to singlehandedly maim the area's economy. My wife makes that dish so I don't have the recipe in my memory banks, so you'll have to wait til I get back home.

Where the fuck is the Ritz Carlton in Vegas? I've been there a million times and never ran across it.

Lake Las Vegas.

Here's a quote from the website....



We regret The Ritz-Carlton, Lake Las Vegas will close permanently May 2, 2010.
Until that date, we will be accepting reservations, and the hotel will be fully operational.


So, don't worry about it. you can't stay there unless you leave now!

This week’s announcement that the Ritz-Carlton at Lake Las Vegas is going out of business has raised concerns that the hotel’s closure will have a ripple effect on neighboring merchants.

Henderson Mayor Andy Hafen said he expects shops and restaurants at MonteLago Village Resort will feel the impact of losing the 348-room luxury hotel.

Businesses have told him in the past they are holding their own, but just getting by, he said.

“Certainly we are concerned,” Hafen said of the hotel’s closing. “The biggest concern we have is for the employees and their welfare.”

The Ritz-Carlton, a fixture in the resort community since it opened in February 2003, announced Monday it will close on May 2.

“Our owners, Village Hospitality, decided they could no longer fund the hotel,” Ritz-Carlton spokeswoman Vivian Deuschl said on Monday. “As a result of that, we can no longer operate the hotel without adequate funding.”

A number of shops refused to comment Tuesday about the Ritz-Carlton announcement and referred calls to MonteLago Village manager Maurice Talley.

“We’re very sad that the Ritz-Carlton employees are no longer going to be employed and it may have some residual effect, but it’s too hard to quantify,” Talley said.

Talley said he didn’t know how much of MonteLago Village Resort’s shop and restaurant traffic comes from the Ritz-Carlton.

At least one shop owner, however, said she doesn’t expect the closure of the hotel to have a major impact on her business.

Marianne Freeman, whose home furnishing and accessories shop, Tesoro, has been at Montelago Village since 2003, said most of her customers are people who live at Lake Las Vegas, not hotel guests.

“Certainly the closure will affect my business to some extent, because the Ritz has always brought in visitors from across the county, but it won’t have a huge impact,” Freeman said.

Jennifer Morton, marketing and public relations director for Casino MonteLago, predicted that business for the casino will remain steady without the luxury hotel.

“We have a strong local base, so it’s just going to be business as normal for us,” Morton said.

Hafen said he recently met with the general managers of the Ritz-Carlton and Loews Las Vegas, who told him the properties were struggling but doing what they could to keep their doors open.

The hotel’s closure will leave about 350 employees out of work, but Deuschl said efforts are being made to relocate them to other Ritz-Carltons, Marriotts and other hotels in the Las Vegas Valley.

Hafen said the Ritz-Carlton pays about $129,000 in annual property taxes.

Without the Ritz-Carlton, Loews Lake Las Vegas and the MonteLago Village Resort will be the only hotels in the development.

“I don’t think the residents of Lake Las Vegas will be affected much,” Hafen said. “As far as our tourism in Henderson, it will make a little bit of dent, but it’s one of many properties we have here in the city.”

In addition to the hotels, restaurants, shops and casino, the 3,600-acre Lake Las Vegas development, located 20 miles southeast of the Strip, includes more than 1,600 residential units.

Lake Las Vegas is now in bankruptcy, burdened with $728 million in liabilities amid the worst real estate downturn in memory.

According to Henderson City Attorney Elizabeth Macias Quillin, Lake Las Vegas owes about $25.7 million to the city of Henderson in Local Improvement District financing and assessments. The city has three Local Improvement Districts in the Lake Las Vegas development.

Closing of Ritz-Carlton at Lake Las Vegas raises concerns of ripple effect Henderson’s mayor says other businesses at MonteLago Village Resort just getting by

The village casino closed a couple months ago, as did the golf course. The restaurants in the village were staffed with one person on the floor and one person working the kitchen. The whole place is going to be a ghost town. Lots of "small" people losing jobs and a lot of small businesses losing big money due to the hotel going under.

I think someone acted stupidly.

skin,

just ordered some NO2 black and CE2 Platinum to experiment with (occupational research), if it shoots a lightning rod up my workouts' ass i'll let you know and maybe a better choice than the stuff you asked about.

I've been trying both the Oyx Elite stuff and the NO Xplosion to get a feel for them. The Oxy Elite is basically caffeine with some other appetite suppression stuff in it. Seems to work just fine in both regards, and themogenicly, it definitely makes sweating easier and more plentiful, but I wouldn't take it before weights or rolling, as it still carries some twitchiness and tingles with the stimulation.

The NO Xplode seems to be a better pre-workout option. The stimulant is more subtle and makes beginning the workout easier, since it seems to just make you want to move without making me feel jumpy. I guess maybe I got less tired during the workout, but that's hard to gauge since I don't stick to a hard-line routine.

So for now, I guess I'll try OxyElite on days off and the NO on workout days.

[SkinBasket]

The Xplode has about 80-100mg in it from what I've read. They made it part of their secret recipe so it's unlisted. The oxy crap has 100mg each, and two doses of xplode certainly seems to have less caffeine than two does of that just from using myself as an test tube.

[Freak Out]

What in the fuck are you putting in your body? Xplode? Oxy elite? You guys training with Barry Bonds now? :lol:

fuck barry bonds an his shrek sized head. and in case you are actually wondering, these products are just amped up versions of your morning coffee. they do little to support actual tissue recovery, and even less to stimulate growth. they are pretty much just energy boosters.

You have a point......what harm can the seeds of a Chinese orchid tree do anyway.

Bizarre stuff....talk about leading me down a rabbit hole. I do 10 minutes research on the ingredients of the oxyelite and wound up on some very freaky bodybuilding/supplement review forums.

That's what I deducted from my trip down the supplement rabbit hole.....it seems they add some weird Asian plant matter just as an ingredient filler.

Did you know American Ginseng was the first thing the Chinese (Red) imported from us when we opened up trade with them?

Caffeine gives me a boner. 400mg and you could just call the stuff Cock Xplode.

Where else but obscure body building forums could you find such strangely curious photos as these. I love a guy who takes pictures like this of himself then protects his identity by putting a star over his face:

It also appears he has camel toe in the first shot.

And no, this is not someone from the forum... that I know of.

[twoseven]

the sad thing is that is actually a legal and accurate looking before an after photo for someone who is not doing what barry bonds did.

then again he had a vagina and now he has a penis, so.. great job whoever you are. what lifts did he do, i wonder?

[SkinBasket]

Alright, in the interests of comparing my health plan with another, I checked in on someone we used to know. For all interested, he's doing salt water intestinal cleanses (and providing detailed reports), getting beat on the BB court up at the Y, and dehydrating himself to the point of collapse, but he's lost almost 50 pounds this year. See Ziggy, you were completely wrong about his diet and exercise. Shame on you.

"Lucky" for you, I still had the page up.


I have been following stronglifts 5x5 program since December. I am twelve weeks in to it and am happy with it so far.

Current stats:

Squat: 225lbs
Bench: 195lbs failed for 2 days before getting the 5x5
Overhead: 115lbs failed for 2 days before getting the 5x5
Pull/Chin ups: 11 (could barely do 4 when I started)
