You learn a lot about people when you tell them to get naked. And then there's the old guys who are undressing while you're still asking what they want worked on. I swear you get your prostate checked a few times and you just stop caring about what people see.

The way he was talking about it, its more of a compression type deal. Big rubber band wrapped around a body part and then put thru some range of motion exercises and stretches.

So there are these bands, see, and they offer this certain type of resistance to the motion through which you're trying to move your body. So it's like they're for this specific type of resistance band training.

32.5" waist, but 36" jeans? Wondering how you are measuring.
You did well though, better than me anyway.

The waist on a pair of jeans usually sit on your hips, not your actual waist. Also, jeans are, to say the least, forgiving in their measurements, so having a hip measurement larger than the stated size of your jeans is a common occurrence.

I have a BIL who has been a weightlifter nearly his whole life. Not sure he's in that shape now, but several years ago he had a 28" waist and his wife would buy him 36" waist jeans and take them in so that they would fit his thighs. (There weren't all the options on fits for jeans back then.)

Yeah, uh...36" waist, and that's all I know.
Gotcha.

Wasn't really worried about holiday weight creep this year. Wasn't invited to any parties, and kept the snacking/grazing to a minimum.

Had an eye-opening moment:
In 2013 and 2014, I tried to lose weight, and it wasn't happening. Found out why: because I was working out a lot while underfeeding myself, my body decided to hoard whatever calories it could get.
In 2015, the weight came off when I ate appropriately for my activity level.

I learned that the old food pyramid was wrong because Big Bread lobbied the FDA the hardest, and essentially told people that a pizza or a cheeseburger with lettuce and tomato was the perfect meal.
My Plate is far more accurate, with it recommending that half your plate be vegetables.

Sgt. Preston Yukon King New Year's Day Run results: 52:31, an 8:45/mile, second in my age group (M, 30-34) out of 4 people, and I think I was 67th overall. This is a Sgt. Preston PR by 1:04, beating the mark of 53:35 set last year.
I did not get my goal of 49:59, but I did see some improvements, such as running the first mile in 8:16, and charging up Block House Hill with more power. All these hill workouts paid off.

Re: Fitness (Diet/Exercise) 2015: Define Yourself.
I'm not going to start a new thread for this year. My fitness goals for this year include:
1. Stay between 210 and 220 pounds.
2. Be able to lift 100 pounds. Right now, I can do about 65, which is as strong as I need to be for my current job. Still, I'd like to be able to lift more.
3. Move my workouts to first thing in the morning, instead of after coffee.
4. A sub-4:30:00 marathon.
5. Complete a 50 mile ultra-marathon.
6. Complete 2 intermediate-length duathlons (5K run/40K bike/10K run).
7. Eat 3,500 calories a day on a balanced, inclusive, moderate diet.
8. Get into downward dog yoga pose and complete a sun salutation.
