Best advice there is. It's never steered me wrong (except maybe at the occasional buffet...lol).

I trusted my gut after interviewing out of state 6 hours away from my family -- perfect fit. I then had an interview back at my alma mater that was all I thought I ever wanted. It didn't feel quite right when I was up there (in the top 3 doing the in-person interviews), so I hesitantly withdrew before the decisions were made/position was offered -- not one month afterward was the first time I met my wife.

It's not always easy, but you'll feel it deep inside of you. And money isn't everything. You need to be respected, appreciated and able to take care of yourself/provide for your family/live comfortably, but money should never be the number one deciding factor. I have a buddy who works in a very high position with Target and is very well compensated. However, he works 60+ hours a week on a regular basis, now lives in another state where he doesn't want to be and has already had ulcers and is a couple years younger than I am. Not worth it.

I'll be leaving my position sometime in the near future for a new adventure because I need to be able to save more and provide for my future children whenever that time comes, but a whole lot more went into that decision than just money. And as it stands, I love only working 37.5 hours a week and having a life outside of work. We never know when our time will come and it's all over, so we have to enjoy the days we have.

And what's your response if they accuse you of something you are doing?

I say wtf you think Look at me I'm a damn Silverback lol honestly I don't get on people for their life choices and I'll be damned if somebody with no importance in my life doesn't approve of what I choose to put in my body will make me feel like I'm doing wrong. I mean shoot if you went to the club last night and took 5 shots of tequila till you couldnt walk straI ght I am cool with that so why you care if I shot 250mg of test than did leg presses till I couldn't walk straight i mean in the end we were both walking funny right

Man. Am I late to this post!!... Lol. But it is inspiring. I'm only two days old on here but I'm loving it already. And just to say something to the Facebook stuff. I had it for a month in 2008 and was not happy. This is definitely a million times better. Thank you ladies for starting this post and fellas for keeping it going and for the motivational convos

I think I see abs!!!
 
I generally rock a beater underneath a gutted-out t-shirt for most gym sessions and for the past 2 months (we barely got Spring here lol), that beater is drenched from under the chest all the way down after the first 20 minutes. The worst is trying to peel it off when you get home and it sticks lol.
