Health, Fitness and shedding the pounds

[Ziderman]

Seriously , I got close to 13half & a bit...Could not work it out , Kite surfing bit of squash , walk a lot at work & cycle a bit.
Well when met latest Woman , she always insists we eat at 6 on the dot...& I mean on the Dot . Learnt that one some time ago. Suddenly I am down to 12S 8lb....
Reasons it seems , eating at proper time. Right is an all, cause I used to come in half 5 ish , bottle Beer , sit on Sofa crash for an hour then decide I needed to cook dinner...was always about 8.30 when sat down to eat. Not good , she tells me & she is right.  So never even pick at the Biscuits now & other crap during evening.

funny as F**k some comments above....love it....

Mostley people dont really understand what they put in their pie holes....... the problem is that good nutritious food is low in calories, so you actually have to eat a lot of it  and poor quality yet yummy food is loaded with all the bad stuff.

fer example friday night for us is treat night.. which means i usually wreck my days food intake in the space of 4 hours.

Breaky.. Porridge with egg whites, Whey protien drink, banana, tea.... ........................536 calories
Post gym. Protien drink, egg whites, cashew nuts and banana .................................... 605 calories
Lunch. Chicken and mixed grains, fresh orange juice......................................................468 calories
morning and afternoon snacks.... Cashew nuts, 3 bananas, small bowl of bran flakes.. 432 calories

now here is where it all goes horribly wrong, usually i have a 600 calorie healthy meal, but seeing as friday is pig out night it looked sumit like this...

Quarter pounder and fries from the take away, packet of Minstrals chocky and a bottle of wine.... 1750 calories
now if you think that a lot of people hit that sort of calorific figure every night, then its no wonder we have a weight problem in this country..

Thats the type of diet that I suspect most of us can relate to

When I was in my 20s I weighed 8st soaking wet. I remember my mates girlfriend asking me what the secret was to keeping slim

Now that I'm 40 I can't seem to shift the damn weight.

So my new training regime starts tonight. A couple of weeks of Yoga and swimming to get back into exercise before I turn it up.

I'm not bothered about losing weight. I like being around 13st. What I don't like is the 29% body fat.

I used to do a lot of running and I mean a LOT of running. I was addicted to it. I would religiously run three times a day, all year round, whatever the weather. Running in snow looks daft but it's actually good fun as is running in the rain.
I've done marathons but my speciality was half marathons & 10k road races, I could just run consistently at sub 5 minute miles and I remember I once joined a running club and nobody there could keep up with me.
But all that pounding, running hard, fast, intensive training has caused long term damage to my knees. I was told about two years ago I needed surgery on one of my knees and this was going to take place but then a second consultant reckoned it would be too risky so it never got done.
Now I can't run for shit these days.

Running three times a day? 

I hate long distance running. I was always  at it. Was a decent sprinter (eventually) but long distance? Forget it.

Anyway, just finished the Yoga X. Didn't get all the way through. Forgot how hard is was. Body feels good though!

I lived in a field for almost two years of my life,  it's a long story. There was nothing to do but work and train, so that's exactly what I did. Running became just a way of life.

Mr Wolf .. I love my training and I do it for many reasons .. but sub 5  minute miles ??? ... that is fantastic stuff ...  excellent club level and beyond ... you are elevated to new heights of admiration !!

Even many years ago when I met Mrs Rusty, she would cycle around with me, I was running 10 miles in 69 minutes 2 or 3 times a week .. easy .. but was younger, lighter, and there was a lot less traffic about !!... but I reached a plateau, which don't get me wrong I was well pleased with , but just couldn't get any quicker. Well done you.

Run Forest, Run    All my initial training was done in Newquay and Mawgan Porth,  mostly around the country roads. Not much traffic and good scenery to inspire you on.

On Sunday 19th May I weighed 182lbs
This morning I weighed 172.6 lbs

First target is 168lbs. Then 154lbs

Anything lower than that and I'll look ill

Good going Asif ...

This morning I was 166.6 lbs. I can almost touch my next target of 161 lbs.

I have to say the desire for junk food last night was high. About 10pm my body was craving a donner kebab with hot chilli sauce. Surprised I manage to contain myself cause normally the donner kebab would be demolished in a few mins
