Bummer. I've had mine cut off twice following basketball-related breaks. It'll have to get cut off a 3rd time if I ever want it off. Never gonna lose it that's for sure....
Lost mine 3 days after our wedding swimming in the ocean on our honeymoon in St. Thomas. :???:
Since the day I had bought it, I thought it was too loose and would fall off easily, but the jeweler said it was the right size. idiot
I was going to go back to them and ask for a replacement as I had asked for a smaller size, then I saw a ring at a Kiosk in the St. Thomas airport that was cheap and I liked it better than the original, so I bought it. :lol:

Well my weight loss plateaud. I'm still arond 188, down about 9 pounds total from a month ago, but haven't dropped another pound in a week and a half. Eating more /moving less in th elast week, due to travel from work and generally late / sleepless nights. Bleh! I'd like to drop another 8 or so by the end of Nov.
I've been slacking a little on the p90x the last couple weeks. Losing power, getting sick, etc... still slowly losing weight (Halloween candy really made it tough). Running a 5k tomorrow so I'm skipping the Friday leg workout. Next week I buckle down and really hit Phase 3 till December.

I've stalled over the last 3 weeks or so losing only 1 more pound bringnig the total to 26. Too many events, too much food and wayyy too much beer but it was a blast. At least I didn't gain anything and I still managed to hit the gym pretty hard 3-4 times each week.

Keep at it. We'll be happy when the goods get here and we are skiing/riding our entire respective mountains all day long. I need to turn it up a notch also. I'm switching up my workouts. Time for a change.
Just found this:

I'm still working out with my pal @ work. He's really into it. I'm his "project".
So we recently started new stuff which is tucked into the workout. We weight lift weight lifting 2x per week and do some sort of cardio the other three. The new cardio stuff is 30 seconds of 3 different exercises 10 seconds to move from one exercise to the next. Rowing, Pushups and side-to-side hops with a med ball (lower the med ball to the outer ankle on each side hop). Five min rest. Three rounds. Interesting to say the least. The push up part is tough cuz I'm out of breath. I substitute "planks" and slow down the push up count.
The highlight this week was in the weight lifting. I hit a personal high...300 lb dead lift.
The other weightlifting stuff is pretty interesting. A good mix. Lately, we've included "Box Jumps" with dumb bells.
After Thanksgiving and until Christmas.....the added gaol is, 1000 situps, 1000 pushups, 1000 other stuff (I stopped listening when I got tired :> ), basically 33 whatevers a day...every day.
If this doesn't break me....I should be ready to race.

That sounds tough. Keep us posted with your progress.
Keep in mind Sky is 6'9" he's got a long way to go with all those push-up too ... :lol:

My conditioning continues to mostly consist of drinking beer. Meanwhile, this week my father set a world record (for his age/wt) by deadlifting 540lbs at age 65!! So motivating......after this six pack is gone.....

I think I'll try Canonball's workout. After reading all of these, that seems to be the one that fits me best. Everybody else keep up the good work and see you on the slopes.
