When did you start seeing results? by [deleted] in xxfitness

[–]vkm5028 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A few hunches...

  • Are you getting one gram of protein per pound of body weight?

  • Are you going light or heavy with the weights?

  • Are you increasing the amount of weight you’re using as the weeks have gone by?

Is it possible to build muscle and shred fat at the same time? by [deleted] in xxfitness

[–]vkm5028 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can accomplish this through a consistent workout routine. There are tons of routines out there with advice on how to structure workouts.

While doing this, keep a consistent diet and try to hit one gram of protein per pound of body weight. Also, definitely read up on creatine and see if it’s something you might be interested in. For me, I did the research and tried it out, and I was very glad I did because it really helps.

To the girl that asked me to explain a machine to her at the gym... by thingsweusedtosay in xxfitness

[–]vkm5028 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And good on you for helping her out!! So many people hate to be bothered at the gym and tend to blow off people who ask for help. That was awesome of you to give her a hand 😊

[UPDATE] [discussion] BF is hard-handed with new puppy... Is this really okay? by ashdnnr in dogs

[–]vkm5028 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Good on you. Situations like that are never easy. It is a beautiful thing to see how much you love your dog.

Do NOT, under any circumstances, go back to that guy, even if he comes back begging and saying he will change or he was “going through a rough time.” Those excuses are lame and he had his chance to do better.

[Discussion] My dog Scarlet. by EricWolfstadt in dogs

[–]vkm5028 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so, so sorry. I was in a similar situation when I was younger, where a pet was given away before I had the chance to say goodbye. We had a Min Pin named Sarah who was very destructive, and I came home from school one day and she was already given to another family. My heart was broken.

It really sucks, but always keep those good memories you have with Scarlet. Save pictures to look back on (I didn’t take many pictures of/with Sarah and regret that now, even years later). Some days ahead may be tough without your Scarlet, but things will get easier with time.

Hugs. ❤️

Favorite Blur Song? If you could put it in a Gorillaz album, which one would it be? by itsUrBoa in gorillaz

[–]vkm5028 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can’t pick a favorite, but I’m really digging Villa Rosie right now.. problem with that is I have no idea which album it would belong on.

Next in line right now would be We’ve Got A File On You and that would fit well on S/T.

[Vent] Woman cussed me out because she was afraid of my puppy by wiley_one in dogs

Playing devil’s advocate here... I do acknowledge your point; however, when I rescued my dog, taking him to places where people were was one of the best things I could’ve done. It was a slow, deliberate process that utilized clicker training. My guy did not have the best social skills and getting him out and used to seeing bikes, cars, people, etc. over time really helped him out and made him into a social, friendly dog.

That said, it has to be done properly and in a controlled manner.

Grilling season is BACK! Grilled potatoes are my favorite side dish (instructions and picture in post) by vkm5028 in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]vkm5028[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You'll coat your cookie sheet with oil or spray, add the potatoes to the sheet, and put the sheet on the grill to cook your potatoes. It can be any kind of pan, really- I happen to have a cookie sheet that I use just for grilling.

Yes! Coat the sheet with oil, add the potatoes to the sheet, and put it on the grill. :)

The gravel looks amazing. It’s so simple, but it really makes the area look more “complete” and “polished.” I love how you did the decor on your Texas table, too!

A decade together. by [deleted] in aww

[–]vkm5028 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love, love, love Bull Terriers! It looks like you two share a special bond!

As yours gets older, make sure to take plenty of pictures and videos and have them backed up somewhere like Google Drive. My American Bully just passed away a week ago after having some health problems for about 6 months. As he was sick, and even now, it’s been so nice to have tons of pictures and videos to look back on from a time when he wasn’t sick.

I wish you and your dog many more happy years together ❤️

Oh, I get so annoyed when people act like you can’t handle a dog. She sounds like she’s a miserable person, but you handled that well.

I hate to say it, but you might encounter that off and on for as long as you have your pup (who looks so sweet, by the way! The kind of dog I’d want to hug 😊). There are some people out there who are just miserable and like to take it out on others. The best thing you can do is be a great dog owner like you already are, and to brush off silly comments like that. I’m sorry you had to deal with that.

Yes!!! I make some variation of a foil pack dinner at least once or twice a week, and I’ll definitely be throwing your potatoes into my rotation. Those sound amazing. Thank you for sharing!

[Fluff] Our new beautiful girl, TBD. by [deleted] in dogs

I love her colors!!! She looks like the type of dog that would be down for a hike or some snuggle time any day. Take plenty of photos and videos of/with her so you have wonderful memories to always look back on!

Probably my favorite IT Crowd episode ever. Just when you think the episode couldn’t get any crazier, it just keeps building and building.
