15th day P90X (With Abs Ripper X workout m,w,f). 5 pounds lost, 10-12 to go... HINT: Abs are 100% about weight/fat loss We all have perfectly fine looking, beautiful abs already, without the workouts. We just can't see 'em cause they're buried under that insulation layer. Sarge buried his 6-pack completely this summer in The Florida Keys with Key Lime Pie, Caribbean Rum, and living the Jimmy Buffet flip-flops-and-alcohol lifestyle. It doesn't matter how many crunches you do if you aren't minding the diet and fast loss. You'll have huge, toned, perfect, exercised abs no one will ever see. Get that body fat% down, folks. It comes with other benefits, too. Sarge's abs start showing at about 12%, Mrs. Sarge's at about 18/19%. You can do it, every one of us can, it's just slower than we want. A lot slower ... Easy Peasy.

You have discovered The Big Easy. It is time to leave The Temple, young Grasshopper. Easy Peasy

In 5 years it won't matter at all what date's what and what happened when. But you have to actually make it 5 years, right? Right? Easy Peasy

Where Sarge lives, it's called a CPO - Civil Protection Order. Commonly called a "Restraining Order". Run your hiney down to the courthouse and file for one. A 5 minute hearing with a judge/magistrate/whatever and then, when she violates it ... Jail time. Minumum 6 months here. Your mileage may vary. Easy Peasy

> When did the many-times-a-day cravings ease up They don't. Not the way you want 'em too. It just gradually and gradually - imperceptibly day-by-day gets ever so slightly better (on average, with some worse days and backsliding thrown in for fun) until one day you go to bed thinking "huh ... I haven't had a crave all week) Easy Peasy

Go ahead on and have that lung cancer. You've earned it! Have a heaping helping of emphysema on the side, too! Maybe a heart attack for dessert if you're still craving, right? You poor, poor thing. A cigarette is sure to fix all that ails you. All that suffering and whatnot... Easy Peasy

Still no video ...

You don't have to imagine it. You just do it, right? Easy Peasy

Not too old to run a half-marathon, untrained. Sarge hasn't run since a race in May. Last 4 or 5 months off but still completed 13.1 miles yesterday at th US Air Force Marathon. M Mrs Sarge completed a 26.2-miler, The Full Monte to Sarge's mere Half. Starting line pic: Easy Peasy.

Cool!

The Sarge is coming up on 4 years and still rather enjoys the smell of tobacco... nasty evil sh|t that it is, it still smells pleasant to Sarge. Easy Peasy

F_ck. That. Sh|t. Easy Peasy

Sarge used to sling code for a living. SQL, C# and VBA, primarily ... but he's been "semi-retired" for 4 years now and just putzes around the yard growing food/dinner and runs marathons these days. Easy Peasy

No. You don't. There is no special plan. There is one-and-only-one course of action. Do not smoke. Ever. For any reason. "No battle plan survives contact with the enemy." -- Helmuth von Moltke. Easy Peasy

It goes away when you understand it's in your head, not your chest, and you are in total control of it. It is anxiety, nothing physical. Easy Peasy

Casual Smoker. lol In Sarge's mind, he reads that as "casual slow death" Easy Peasy
