The Diet/Fitness Thread

[tailor STATELY]

Started walking again at the HS's track.

I hyper-extended my knee 18 mo.s ago carrying a load of wood downhill; found a wet clay spot and... ausgerutscht ! heels over head.

Sat. - 1 - mile
Mon - 1 - mile
Tue - 1 - mile
Wed - 1.5 - mile(s)
Thu - plan to walk 1 - mile this evening... and Fri and Sat... Sundays off.

@ 20 minutes/mile (5 min/440) a nice steady slow pace.

Goal: A slow jog in 4-6 mo.s (weather permitting)

Sounds like a good plan, Taylor. Slow and steady is the way to go.

Bump for qimissung. I have trouble with searches also, but when I get listings that include gems like the incest poll thread, I probably shouldn't complain.

With the tennis and biking season over and a return to drinking a fair bit of lager, my fitness is at its seasonal low point. Also swapping the push bike with a motor is more convenient but doesn't help. However on the road to Christmas will have to do something.

I've started training for the Royal Marines: going running 3 times a week, cycling at the weekends, and lots and lots of calisthenics Still not usually getting my 5 a day though

[qimissung]

Thank you very kindly, Calidore. I have made no progress whatsoever. I joined a gym and was beginning to make a smidgen of progress then got too busy to keep it up. I'm just now starting to walk again. Also I've noticed that I'm fine during the day but at night I seemingly must have a sweet treat. Which isn't helping anything of course. I signed up for My Fitness Pal. This is what I had yesterday: popcorn, no butter, at the movies, four squares of Ghirardelli dark chocolate, and a black and blue burger from Applebee's. A message popped up and said if i ate that way everyday I would gain a pound by January. Impudent get.

I'm afraid those last two would defeat the purpose of the first. What's a black and blue burger?

[qimissung]

It's got blue cheese and black Angus beef. I guess it was about a thousand calories, so even though I went for a good long walk I ended up consuming more calories than I so should have.

God I want one for my lunch!

[qimissung]

It's really, really good, I must say.

[qimissung]

Have gone for a two mile walk twice this week. Yeah! Shooting for one more today before the weather gets bad again.

[palerose]

I train about 6 times a week, a lot of strength training and cardio. A lot of squats and deadlifts. I eat a low carb, high protein and high fat (peanut butter, avocado, coconut oil, almonds) diet. Feel better than I ever have

I also don't get any PMS symptoms. I used to get awful cramps and migraines now I feel literally nothing.

[qimissung]

I'd like to start doing some strength training in the new year, although it remains to be seen whether or not I'll have the wherewithal to follow through. I agree with you on the "good fats." Consuming more of them has been beneficial. Mostly I notice that my hair is much softer so far. It had gotten quite dry, but now it's kind of like it used to be when I was a bit younger. ()

All things in moderation is my policy.
Got in my first good trail run after too long a break... Then I had a big ole stack O flapjacks. Buckwheat, pecan and blueberries with Irish butter and bona fide Canadian Maple syrup. Mmm-Mmm good.

(I'm thinking the last part of this post sort of contradicts the first part. Ah well, ya gotta reward yourself after a strong effort, eh?)

[qimissung]

Did your wife make those? They sound achingly delicious.

Did manage to walk three times this week. Hurray for me.
