Nia Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 I got to the gym and did 40 minutes between the tread mill and bike. I may pay for it tomorrow. Link to comment
Dill_Pickle Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 I can feel today's workout tonight. Link to comment
Diapered Jason Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 I'm still not worrying about calories or dieting, just increasing output and overall health. When I start to feel better it'll be easier to tackle weight than right now when my sippy cup of juice is needed to make me happy Yeah, not surprisingly, juice is just as bad as soda. There is so much sugar in juice. You are much better off eating the fruit, because then you actually get the nutrients. Link to comment
Wet Knight Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Unsweetened iced tea at 35F, is equal to about -20 calories per pint, as the body has to heat it to body temperature and then promptly squirts it into your nappy. 1 Link to comment

willnotwill Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Time for me to get serious again. Link to comment
Diapered Jason Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 They cost more, but the natural juices are better for you than anything except eating the fruit directly. The less they are altered the better. Avoid pasteurization with anything except milk products as the heating kills the good stuff too. You are what you eat and drink, so become a label-reader so you know what you're doing to yourself Link to comment
Bettypooh Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 The labels lie, because food manufacturers can say whatever they want on the front label. 1 Link to comment
DailyDi Posted July 28, 2015 Author Share Posted July 28, 2015 1.4mi tonight. Was hoping for more, but it's so humid and nasty here right now I was having trouble breathing and my heart rate was going higher than it probably should Link to comment

Diapered Jason Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 They can't lie in the US without finding the wrath of the FDA and civil lawsuits upon them. There are very specific requirements regarding food labeling here which can go back as far as how and where some or all of the ingredients were grown The front label cannot intentionally "tell a lie" but it doesn't have to mention everything. The "Ingredients" label is a whole different matter and that's where you really find out what you're getting They actually can all they want on the front and in some circumstances, the back as well, because they are claiming their right to the first admendment. It started awhile back when Kelloggs stated their All Bran cereal is "heart heathly". The FDA never called them on that and since then, food manufacturers having been making all kinds of claims without challenge. A perfect example is frosted shredded wheat which said kids that ate their cereal performed 20% better in school. The truth there was that it was actually 11% and they were comparing to kids who had not eaten breakfast at all. Link to comment
DailyDi Posted July 29, 2015 Author Share Posted July 29, 2015 Taking a day or two off. Strained my neck (don't know why it's always my neck that gets hurt) and have fairly decent pain in my neck and running down my shoulder/arm. Did run errands today, so got some natural walking in, but nothing official. Link to comment
Wet Knight Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Not too sure if it is the same with exercise, but I know that with sex, if it is a pain in the neck, you are doing it wrong! Link to comment

Wet Knight Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 60 years ago, my biology text book taught, that between the ages of 25 and 65, a manual worker's weight remains almost constant, but a clerical worker would gain 1 gram per day. I wonder when a revision became needed? Link to comment

Bettypooh Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 A couple of our local rides do about half that elevation climb. And then there is the "Assault on Mt. Mitchell": 102 miles with a 10337 ft elevation change and a whopping 11000+ ft total climb distance If you can finish that monster ride, you can probably skip going to the gym for a few days without any adverse effect Bettypooh Link to comment
Baby Brian Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 God, I used to love biking, climbing, and even long distance jogging. You guys make me so jealous. Now a days I have to fight my bad knees just to finish my normal physical therapy exercises. Link to comment

Resting heart rate is down 30 points, and average 25. Probably most important, my max heart rate is down 19 since I started. Amazing how little effort it takes to start seeing an improvement in heart health. Link to comment
DailyDi Posted August 31, 2015 Author Share Posted August 31, 2015 Not good, lol. Been about a week since I went. No real reason, just lack of motivation, and I was feeling burnt-out overall. Took the weekend to get away, may get back into it this week. Link to comment
Wet Knight Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 I nudged 200 lbs earlier this year, but with the coming of summer veg from the garden I dropped a little as I felt full without stuffing starchy foods; Link to comment
anned Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 I miss being able to do running and cardio workouts. Especially coming from the Marines. Unfortunately when you've got bad knees and legs like I do there is much you can do. Don't take it for granted and keep up those workouts! Link to comment
Baby Brian Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 I too have bad legs and knees but i have a Recumbent three wheel bike. Its easy on the legs and knees plus next spring i am going to turn it part time electric for for going against the wind on bad wind days. My problem is doing cardio as my heart rate is locked to around 50-60 bpm because of meds and a autoimmune disorder. Link to comment
