Sp3nc3r Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 Not seeing "Mr. Happy" isn't the problem. It's not seeing my abs that bothers me. Point of note: for those of you lucky enough to get consistent snowfall, this could be you oppotunity. If done with the proper carre and control, shovelling snow can be a great exercise. I've been shovelling for a half-hour almost everyday this week, and I'm already feeling better. I remember a couple of Winters ago (2000-2001) where the city had a record total snowfall (684 cm for those interested). It seemed like I was shovelling twice a day sometimes. By the time the snow finally melted away in the Spring, I was built like a brick shithouse and I felt great. It's something to consider, at least. Of course, don't go at it full throttle, or anything stupid like that - that's just a recipe for cardiac arrest. Cheers! Spencer "I prefer to beat my opponents the old-fashioned way....BRUTALLY!!!!"

May I recommend citrus fruit, dates, dried figs and raisins. Also, I don't recommend skipping breakfast. Like you said, you would be feral - and more likely to overeat when you do get food. 5-6 smaller meals per day is a solid method.

Like you said, you would be feral - and more likely to overeat when you do get food. This is the biggest and hardest habit of mine to break. I've been breakfastless for "decades" and I'm sure this, along with late night dinner/snack schedule has been a major portion of my continued enlargement over the years. I've seen some success since getting on board here, but part of that is being attributed to my new found snow shoveling hobby. I'm not even worried about actual weight loss as much as addressing these engrained meal habits. Best to all, Dogfur Woof! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually I've got my driveway & walkways & dogpaths done, but I am getting pretty mad about not being able to get my car out of my driveway - have had to take the Blazer to work. My wife & son have some pretty serious cabin fever at this point. We got about 6 - 9 feet of snow in town over 1 week. (Yay! I've got my ski pass this year!)

What can you eat late that's low cal and can cure a sweet tooth?Moi aussi. Usually I only have some cheese and cracker (whole wheat ones) or a bowl of cereal. Sometimes, when I'm particularly snackish - I make nachos. I know, I know.... I actually priced new X-country ski gear last night - about $300 for a whole new rig. Which I don't need, as my ski's and poles are fine, but my boots and bindings suck donkeyass. Cheers! Spencer "I prefer to beat my opponents the old-fashioned way....BRUTALLY!!!!"

aeon Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 Originally posted by billster: What exactly are you snacking on???? May I recommend citrus fruit, dates, dried figs and raisins.As it concerns the dates, dried figs and raisins, I don't recommend those as snacks. Why? They are potential sugar-bombs because they have all the sugar of the source fruit, but condensed into smaller packages, making them easier to eat such that you can easily consume more of them than you would if they were not dried. This is not just a concern for those with diabetes...spiking your body with foods with a high glycemic index can cause a rush release of insulin that will drop your blood sugar quickly...leaving you hungry again in no time. Better to go for a protein-based snack...takes longer to digest, has less total calories, makes you feel satiated for a longer period of time (as compared to simple carbs/sugar snacks). So go for some unsalted nuts...good source of healthy oils and other nutrients too! my 2 cents, aeon Go tell someone you love that you love them.

Botch. Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 Botch's Bimonthly Bulletin: 1 January: 237 lbs 15 January: 230 lbs Well, right direction anyway! After New year's the guys in my shop have an "Annual Chris Farley Memorial Weight Loss" competition, throw $20 in the kitty and you have to lose 5% of your body mass by tax day, April 15th. Winners divvie up the kitty, and usually end up buying pizza for the losers. My bigger incentive is the Air Force's new fitness program, they've gone back to the 1.5-mile run, pushups, crunches, and "abdominal circumference" measurement, I did pretty poorly in all four areas, gotta fix that up.

Bbach1 Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 I registered 209 on the scale yesterday. I have not been down that low since I was in my late 30's. Wow! I hadn't eaten for too long a period of time though and got back to 210 by morning, but that's ok, because 211 was my goal for the week and I've beaten that. So, next it's 209 to stay. Man, I'm only 10 weeks away from 199!! Here's the weird thing. My pants are too damn big now. I wore a 32/34 in high school. Then I grew to a 34/34. I went to a 36/34 in my 40's, and last summer I was needing 38/34's because the 36's were getting too tight. Now the 36's are gettin baggy. 34's here I come! bbach Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sp3nc3r Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 I went for my first winter jog on Saturday morning. First time I had done any running (as a physical regimine, anyways) since May. I had been on the bike all summer, and the Fall saw me with little time to do much of anything. It took me 18 minutes to jog around the lake that usually takes me 15minutes. In my defense, I had a nasty headwind coming back up the far side. I plan on stepping up the frequencey of my jogs before very long. I simply have to decide on the best time to do it. Cheers!

I'm needing some exercise time to help eliminate the belly, but my weeks are taken up with driving, sleeping, driving, sleeping, etc. I'm getting in crunches and push ups most everyday, but that is it so far. I'm hoping with spring and some warmer weather that I'll force myself to take the time to go for a walk before I sleep, depending on the safety of the area I'm in. bbach Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder.

aeon Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 Well, I have lost enough weight that my jeans were falling down...and since I did not want to look like I was trying to earn street cred, I went and got my belt (usually never worn). I tightened it up, and even when buckled at the tightest setting, it was still too loose! I dunno if I am going to be ready for a bikini by summer, LOL, but I am pleased with my own progress. cheers, aeon Go tell someone you love that you love them.
