OK, so I'm out of jail. My body has gotten pudgy due to the threat of being placed in full custody if I were caught exercising. I felt it better to put on weight and stay ON the work furlough program. I want to stay fit but work furlough was too much of a good thing to give up by getting caught exercising.
Now that I'm out I will update this thread regularly.

Excellent! Don't give up - once you've reached a certain weight its easy to give in to laziness. At the same time don't injure yourself with too much too fast. Striking that balance is the hardest bit.

We are were not allowed to exercise because it's jail. Whatever they feel you enjoy they take from you. Plus the uninhabited tents (where we would could use the bunks as weights)were considered off limits to the inmates. I may have been able to exercise but it was always up to the detention officers on shift what they would do if they caught you. Some D.O.s were very cool, down to Earth guys/gals and some were human stains.
@chem: Thanks man. I am going back to being my normal driven self. Too late now to give up.

Not being allowed to exercise is kind of a health thing. Were they not allowing you to do anything at all, or just bench press beds?

Yes Req, they frowned on all types of exercising.

Well, I frown at them. You'll be back to crushing walnuts with your eyelids soon enough.

These little bastards are becoming hard to come by. One of these kills was with my fist and not the crow-bar. Huzzah.

Rook! Glad to see you made it through! I popped into the board to visit a few months back and heard that you'd been locked away, so I assumed there are laws in your area prohibiting too much awesome.
My own progress has come leaps and bounds in the last 6-7 weeks, and after a little bit more toning work I'll finally have the elusive "summer body", just in time for the heat!

Have you thought about getting a new cat, Rook? Your old one was an adept scorpion hunting cat

Ochre, puff-coated daemon faeces. To the face.
On topic; I'm going for a run but it was a lazy 3 run week, as opposed to a decent 5 run week.

For a split-second, I thought you were saying that the scorpions had crapped out a goose egg on your floor. Perhaps as a means of protest, or as a peace offering. Maybe this is their version of a white flag? I found it entertaining.

There will never be peace with the scorpion. Only hatred and a crowbar covered in scorpion gore.

I would never suggest acceptance of peace with the arachnids. It's probably a trick. I think Rook should make a flame thrower.

So im not trying to offend anyone or make a big assumption and i know this is not for everyone. But myself and my friends like to think we stay in pretty good shape and are pretty darn good at lifting weights and exercising in general. i weight lift and exercise everyday and i know there are many people like me who do the same. Im not saying every table top gamer is out of shape or has a few extra pounds they can loose but i got an idea that i use to use when i was a little over weight and had little to no muscle on my body and i incorporated Warhammer 40k, warhammer fantasy and other table games into it. I used the deaths of my troops the loss of a game, or simply the amout of time gaming i did to motivate me to hit the gym or get outside and exercise.
I would do a sit up for every conscript that died, I did 5 push ups for every tank that was destroyed, ran a mile for every Character that died or every game i lost, I did this till i started getting really good at exercising and i started bringing my own food that i made at home, salads, vegetables, chicken brown rice and such and moved away from the normal diet of chinese food and pizza i had at the game store, 2-3 times a week. now i love lifting and going on runs( but not as much as lifting) and i brought myself from 260 lbs of a high body fat percentage to a solid 210 lbs of about 10-15 % body fat. Anyone can do it if they want it enough.
What made me make the first move was getting into jr high when i could hardly do 10 pushups and my father was my PE teacher... i was embarrassed as heck. I came up with the warhammer idea. and started improving, soon i was doing 50 pushups every moring before school and before i went to bed, by the end of the school semester i did all 50 pushups for the test with ease. i was motivated and continued on, working on my run time, sit ups, and some weight lifting. When i hit high school i ran into a different problem. I joined the football team and ended up on the O-line. I was big and strong but it wasnt all muscle. By my senior year i was one of the strongest guys on the team but i had no defintiona in muscle tone and had a gut the stood out. i woe baggy clothes and was always embarrassed of the amount of fat i had. I got back to the warhammer workouts to put more cardio into my workouts and ate clean healthy foods. i lost my gut and 50 pounds over 4 months and was so happy. through out college i continued to workout and lift and run. I got onto an app called my fitness pal that tracked my improvements, goals, diet and helped me pick healthy foods, ect . ( its free btw) until i found myself where im at now. ive fought through knee, back and all around joint injuries and endless sore muscles but it brought ,e to where i am today. When i take a girl out on a date or meet new people the last thing they expect my hobby to be is table top gaming. I personally dont like this stereotype, and hope that others feel the same way .
So i was curious if anyone else has a similar story or anyone else who wants to change themselves like i did, change their life style. Lets here your story, maybe itll motivate someone ! Lets here who wants to change, post your work outs, post your advice, lets work together lets keep each other in check !
Thanks for reading
FMJ

I think this is a really interesting idea! I have a habit already of matching my reading, listening and watching to my gaming habits (ie, watch one minute of a movie, paint one part of a miniature, or glue one part, read one paragraph). Exercise is a great way to extend this.
I keep a personal daily checklist; in the past one thing on it has always been "Progress, even in a minor way, on your army," which usually corresponded to gluing at least one thing together or painting at least part of one miniature. If I managed to stick with it and do more, I was already ahead. This year so far I have done nothing hobby related but do have "practice sketching" and "practice guitar" as two of the checklist items; I try to draw something and play guitar for at least a few minutes every day. It's working.
