Good question, he hasn't been active since February 15th. Hopefully life has kept him busy and he'll return soon enough.
That was me the first time I was introduced to them a long, long time ago. Incredible band, Peart is my favorite drummer.
Pretty amazing stuff. I can't remember liking a band so much this quickly; immediately Rush has become one of my favorite music artists.
What are some of your favorite songs you've heard so far?
The Spirit of the Radio is my absolute favorite. Others I liked the most would include Subdivisions, Limelight, Red Barchetta, Tom Sawyer, 2112, The Working Man, What You're Doing, The Big Money, and Freewill. Lots of others I could mention but those are the biggest for me.
There's almost always something to enjoy about them: the overall chemistry of the band, the phenomenal lyrics, the insane talent behind the instruments, etc.
I heard Kim wanted to buy a diamond operated satellite doomsday device but it was not for sale ;)
My respects for losing 21kg in one year! That's really great!
I guess you changed your way of eating if you lost that much weight.
Losing weight and keeping the new found weight is always a combination of eating right and doing sports.
If you are not sure about going to a gym regularly, then don't. There are many ways to do sports at home or outside.
I don't know your health situation but if you can run or walk then that is a great start to do something to become and stay fit.
You can start by running 5 minutes, then slowly walk 5 minutes, run 5 minutes again, walk 5 minutes and finally run another 5 minutes. Even if that is too much to start with you'll get there relatively soon and then you could add minutes.
Three times a week would be enough, in between days, just walk for say 30 minutes, if you can make it 50 minutes. Normal paced steps, but steady and no pauses.
Gym is best for free weights and building up muscles. That is important too of course.
A combination of lifting weights, outdoor walking/running, is best in my opinion.
Even if you do the running or cycling on machines in a gym you have to start slow.
I don't think anyone will look funny at you on such machines.
In a free weights room there may be stupid people that love to look at themselves in the mirror.
I was one of them in my earlier years by the way, although I would never have ridiculed other people. I was simply too much in love with my mirror image.
But even that can feel discouraging to others I think.
In the end it all comes down to what you can motivate yourself to do regularly. Maybe a trial run in a gym would be good, if they offer such a thing, a three month period, one month period or whatever.
It's all highly individual really. It would be great if we can in any way help you reach your goals.
Yes, I only got the reference myself a while back when watching TB again for the first time in ages.
Cheers Jason, thanks for the encouragement and advice. I think I'm going to give the gym a trial run and go from there. Fingers crossed it'll all be good.
If you are functionally training (using all the body parts, from the core out, via lifting), you will be "damaging" your muscles as they were designed to be damaged-- which means they have to be re-built (fats+protein+complex carbs-- look into the paleo diet, cut out simple carbs/refined sugars (and you'll continue dropping fat%))...
Unlike a good run where the "after burn" of calories only lasts about seven hours, the after burn of functional training takes 2-3 days... That's right, if training properly, it takes the body 2-3 to repair damaged muscles; the entire time fat will be burned to give you the energy to re-build.
BUT... after the repairing process is finished, the metabolism wants to return to DAY ONE levels, so that's when you hit the gym again-- keeping your metabolism afloat.
This is called being "metabolic".
You need to also get on a progressive plan, since the body adapts every 8-10 weeks...
My best advice would be to join a gym and invest in a trainer if you can, three times per week for the first three months.
Congratulations, @Shark_0f_Largo, you've taken positive steps; I wouldn't be too worried about what others think of you in the gym-- most are too busy working on themselves, and others are actually feeling a little self-conscious too.
Hiring a specialist to assist in this journey will be the safest and quickest way of obtaining your goals.
I hope this helps.
A man can dream. I'd be the professor of the course by now if that was the case.
Whoa, cool. There is certainly literary merit to be found within Fleming's novels and film criticism to be discussed regarding select titles. Just so long as the class isn't somebody's agenda to dissect and disparage the character and Fleming alike for being some kind of woman-hating bastard. Do you have a link to the syllabus?
I could never do that to anyone.
I don't, I heard it through a radio advertisement a few hours ago. I'm not even sure if it's regarding the novels, the way the ad came through it made it out like the films were the sole focus, which is a bit odd yet still cool.
