It's November. It WOULD be no shave november, although quite a few of us aren't clean shaven (myself included). I raise to you an alternate that celebrates our masculinity -- break a vice and/or form a new habit.
Lately from school I haven't been able to go to the gym as much as I would have hoped to, and the soda has not been good on me. I'm giving up soda, pointless internet browsing, and laying in bed in the morning, and adding on 40 minutes of exercise -- mostly cardio -- a day (taken from the time I lay around in bed and browse the internet).
For archival purposes here's a picture of my upper body. I don't look nearly as good as when I came to school (http://www.mlhh.org/messages/315879.html), and I would like to get back into that state.
If anyone would like to join in the challenge, please reply.

Hey Matt,
Great looking hair.
I also am trying to get back into a good workout routine. It's worth it.

For November and until the day I die i'm going to continue to give
up visits to the barber shop.
ROFL! That's going to be a real sacrifice, considering how much time you spend in barber shops now! What are you going to do with all that freed up time?

Nice pic, Matt, I'd kill for a waistline like yours! And your hair is looking pretty damn good, too!!
I've only got about a thousand pounds to lose; but hey, who's counting calories, right?
I'm right there with you, buddy ("in spirit", at least -- in-the-flesh, I'm becoming a lazy-ass old geezer who's too tired to get myself up and exercising anymore)...

I resemble that remark. You'd think that someone like myself that has a birth defect that doesn't work well with any extra weight would be motivated enough to keep his weight under control. You would think, but it's not so. Here I sit with an extra 20+lbs because it is hard for me to keep mobile enough to burn off the extra 20+lbs because of the extra 20+lbs. How's that for a catch 22?

That's why I use the rowing machine (and highly recommend it) -- your weight shouldn't matter that much -- pulling the grip should take approximately the same amount of effort no matter how much you weigh. I do it because it spreads the load across the lower and upper body and doesn't hurt your joints at all, especially considering that rowing is done sitting down.
It's also the reason I cut all soda (half of my liquid calories) out of my diet -- the body processes them but doesn't recognize them so you end up overconsuming calories that end up piling up. At least that's what happened with me.
