The getting back in shape thread

[Cazzi]

Nothing majorly exciting
Managed more minutes on the various cardio machines than I have been managing lately and added a little extra weight to the leg press etc.

Been on a bit of a vicious cycle the last few weeks... depression & pain & those 2 feed each other!!

Rice cakes about 28 calories per packet, it reckons, but the peanut butter should be good for something, I'd have thought?

Natural peanut butter is good for you, regular Jiffy peanut butter is packed with a good amount of sugar. I'm not hating on rice cakes, some of them are pretty good, but the reason youre hungry is because theres zero nutrition in them. Eat a couple scrambled eggs, some lentils, or something similar. Better for you, lasts longer in the body, makes you feel better. I won't do any kind of exercise unless I've had a couple eggs/some chicken/a decent source of protein.

ON a more related note, I did better at the gym yesterday than I have in ages. Back again today when I finally wake up

what'd you do?

Nothing wrong with rice cakes, low cal & have a bit of fibre at least.. & can be topped with just about anything. I always have a stash in to replace the bread I can't eat

because theres absolutely zero nutrition. you could eat packing peanuts for all it matters.

Bugger. To stave off hunger pangs at home I've invested in a load of rice cakes. One of those and a smear of peanut butter seem to work, somehow. Just not for very long.

32 miles last week. My personal record before that was like 22 in a week. Did ten miles today as penance for drinking entirely too much with a friend last night.

Did 45 min in the treadmill (at 3.2 mph) Leg still hurts a bit, taking it easy til this weekend (soccer and hiking)

[Mytical]

Down to 250 from 305. Now if I had a pool for low resistance workouts, I could probably get in decent shape. Still another .. 70lbs or so till 'average' weight.

Drinking 16 oz of ice cold water before eating or drinking anything help seems to work for me. Reduces calories because I don't drink as much caloried drinks, and don't eat as much either. Win/win.

[Rapscallion]

Thirty minutes, 475 calories. Wasn't pushing as hard - knees gave me warning signs. Could just have been muscles in the knee area that were complaining about being used again so soon, but I'm taking few chances.

I've not been to the gym for a week ..weights creeping up again too. Damn downers!

Hopefully the next few days will find me back at it... and working out giving the house a good scrub too, it needs it

[Whiskey]

15.51miles biked. on 2 hours sleep (throughout the day) in the last 24 hours. I didn't eat a damn thing today, really and I feel like hell. 2 cans of green beans, maybe a cup and a half of granola and 1/2 a cup of pine nuts. I should have at least 1800 more calories but I'm too tired to eat. I'll eat tomorrow.

[QUOTE=Whiskey;801587I did week 1 day 1 of the 100 push ups program (17 push ups total! hell yeah!). Now to make this a morning routine before classes.[/QUOTE]

I started this at a bad time (moving twice in as many weeks), and since I lost my password for the site signup, I couldn't record my progress so I decided I just didn't care. I do plank exercises instead of pushups and sit-ups. I make the researchers happy by listening to them.

This gets its own post I DONT CARE

Biked 3.25 miles in 17 minutes and 2 seconds this morning. I have another 5 1/2 miles to bike today, minimum. If I bike to school and back I'll end up with a grand total of 14.75 miles for the day.

As noted up there ^ I did week 1 day 1 of the 100 push ups program (17 push ups total! hell yeah!). Now to make this a morning routine before classes.

edit: oh thanks for posting before me magpie now I'm not double posting

Haven't been doing much lately, but I danced about half the ceili on Saturday. Unfortunately it was mostly the boring dances, so not a lot of work. I did dance the centre for Fairy Reel though, and survived it. I was only starting to regret it by the end of the dance. One calf is still sore today, so I did actually dance hard enough (probably).

I guess all the stuff I do while I'm out of a gym membership is working out because I seem to have lost quite a bit of weight, or at least I look it. I'm not posting the picture, but Pedersen can vouch.

Go low carb and liftin heavy stuff!

edit: i dont weigh myself because i dont care what i weigh so I cant give numbers.

edit II: Doing the hundred pushups program to help with my upper body strength since I have non.

Week 1, Day 1 complete!
Week 1, Day 2 on Wednesday!

Now for an AM bike ride since I have nothing to do because Pedersen got on my butt about homework last night and I actually did it
