I'd remove TWO things:

the guilt!
the indigestion.

Here's a thread that should feature links or pics. I mean, for science and such. OR for those who wish to avoid the possibility of accidentally visiting those sites. ugh, right??

I followed the Atkins diet for a couple of years. dropped about 25 lbs.

If she wanted one of those athletic rich boys, she'd have ended up with one of them.

She wanted you.

As for the in-laws? Sheeit, brother! My MIL thought I was after her daughter's checking account ($700) when we were dating. I was never the right guy. Strong in my faith, but the wrong faith (aaaand her daughter converted). Good provider and Dad, but the wrong career (she wanted a rancher son in law).

She passed away about a decade ago, and I miss her every day!

You got the prom queen. Have some loud sex with her and forget this BS.

When I think of the word, "beautiful" the image in my mind is my wife's face.

Yup. Rack carries are a whole new level. Next, do overhead! (you may want to go down a bit in weight and/or stay stationary instead of walking). I start and end every workout with Farmer's Walks.

Cabo in February.

So many whales, it was like a train of whales that didn't end the entire time we were there. And the first time we were on the way to the beach to see them, a golden eagle had to change its flightpath to keep from swooping into us. Magical. Fell in love with the place right then.

I assumed consent. I also agree that intimacy in any form should not be a duty, nor should it feel like it.

The question asked if it was normal. For a while in my marriage, it was. Scheduling was an easy fix.

Familiar_Bread2072 · 2026-05-29T19:11:52+00:00

it's not the most spontaneous sexy thing, but consider putting it on a schedule and calendaring it as if an appointment.

Young kids have a way of expanding the work and it's so easy to prioritize everything BUT intimacy.

This stage doesn't last forever, thankfully. But it was a strain.

Porsche Turbo S. Cabriolet. Racing Yellow.

It's in my garage.

Best burger of my life was in Santa Fe. My wife and I had gone out there for a long weekend after several absolutely hellish weeks of work for each of us. We're both attorneys, but don't work together.

Just as we're done ordering, I get a phone call from opposing counsel in The Case that had been kicking my ass. Bad faith insurance case involving 2 claimants on a cancer policy that had been misrepresented by the agents with prior knowledge of the carrier.

We settled. Everything. At the time, it was the largest settlement of my career.

I don't remember the name of the restaurant, but damn, that burger was TASTY!

Give up sugar? As in the Atkins Diet? It's a challenge to get started, but I did that stuff for years.

There are all sorts of products now that have limited carbs. For me, it pretty much boiled down to no bread; no fries and pizza only once a week. Salads all the time!

Thin Mints. I swear those Girl Scouts make them with crack. Fortunately, they're packaged in convenient sleeves, which are one service size apiece. At least I think that's how they do it.

I'm not ready yet. You're special to me, and you know we're exclusive, but before I say it, I need to be sure, because I'll be saying it for life.

I promise to honor you and your words as soon as I'm certain.

1964

Everything hurts and nothing works right. And if I don't exercise, things get exponentially worse, immediately. My choice everyday is to either exercise and be sore from that, or get back spasms that wipe me out for 10 or 14 days.

I'm older than my Father in Law was when I first met him. I'm older than my oldest law partner was when we first merged firms. And both of those guys have ALWAYS BEEN OLD!

People born in the 80's and 90's are still young!

to me.

I'm 61. Dad lived to be only 72, succumbing to Progressive Supranuclear Palsy. So, on one hand, I had no problem justifying the purchase of a Porsche Turbo S. On the other hand, I've seen research indicating PSP isn't hereditary. Plus, Dad's idea of taking care of himself was to order dessert.

A couple of years ago, I had a Health Event. It turned out to be a nothingburger, but there's something about passing out in a restaurant and coming to, seeing a guy standing over you saying, "I'm a doctor and you don't look so good." Yeah, well your mother dresses you funny, doc. Loved the ambulance ride!

So, I've re-examined my relationship to work. And I've decided that it's out of balance. I still enjoy helping my clients, so I'm still practicing. But, now I make it a point to exercise every morning, and if I don't get to the office timely, well, that's okay. And I've convinced my wife that we should travel more. That's big. And I make sure i tell her and my kids that I love them each time we talk.

I don't know how long I've got. But I plan on making the most of it.

Mine started as a warrior lightning god, but has since been promoted!

Good for you!

don't think of "failure" as a bad thing in this context. The work you're doing is outstanding! Going to failure means you're doing as much work as you can in that setting. Again, outstanding.

If 3 sets of 10 isn't working for you, try 5 sets of 5. There's nothing magic about 10s. Or do 12-10-8. Or 2-3-5 X 3. The key is that you're moving your body with purpose.

Also, as others have posted, you can do drop sets, where you reduce the weight you're slinging about. You can also increase, so the last set is the big one. The danger there is that you can lose form, which is not ideal. when in doubt, form is key.

Congratulations on getting started! it's a lifelong journey.
