i do a massive HIIT training session outdoors once a week, in and out of a big a steep sided storm culvert (dried up), 10 times then once round the oval, then 8 times, once round the oval then 6 times all the way doen to 0. Then run back to the gym.
Me and a couple of amtes do it and we are always fucked afterwards but training outdoors feels so much better than insude.
Thanks Hogan and Beeman, that's actually not a bad idea. I can take the dogs for a run at the same time. Only issue will be when the shin splints kick in but I can usually push through it if it doesn't get to the point where my feet stop working
Thanks Rusha :)Originally Posted by Rusha
Yeah but the prick would have felt that fat oozing its way through his veins. He would have slowed down to nothing by mid afternoonand secretly regretted his choice. You
so well done. This is how im surviving my workmates lunches. She has potato bake, curries and god knows what else. So well done Andrew.
As for the gym, that pisses me off big time. I hate looking around for weights only to find them miles away, left there by personal trainers.
Usually the gym is quite tidy except for dumbbells not racked where they should be e.g. 25kg in the spot where the 10kg should be. Perhaps wasn't cleaned up from the day before. Why anyone should have to clean up after people though is beyond me
I take my dog for a walk and confuse her by running/walking and at different speeds. Its all good until she trips me over and sends me flying.
Hehe :-) My pooches just take off and run about 30 or 40 meters ahead then run back. They love it but when it's pitch dark it can get a little disturbing - much like the start of American Werewolf in London especially with a foggy, dark winter's morning in Canberra
Sorry to hijack (im only a bit sorry otherwise i wouldn't continue with this post) but I hate it when im running with the dog and some mongrel dog runs up to us and completely derails my plans (ie getting to the top of the hill). The other night i yelled at this dog to piss off and didn't realise the owner was really close by.
The owner deserved a good yelling as well :-)
Anyhoo...back on topic
Weighed myself again this morning. I don't usually weigh myself more than once per week though. I weighed in at 105.6, some 2.2kg down on yesterday. I recalled that I was pissing like a horse yesterday for most of the day. Fair dinkum every 20-30 minutes was a race for the loo. I figure I must have been retaining a bit of water
Today was similar (not as often though). No real bother. My desk aint that far from the can
As far as the diet went today, I got it 98% right. One of my colleagues gave me a Banana (I must look underfed) and I had it with my 4pm meal of Yoghurt and Cottage Cheese.
I think I'll skip the pumpkin in my meals in future. It's ok but no where near as good as baked potato or brown rice. Gonna try peas tomorrow instead of Broccoli.
On the whole I'm feeling pretty good but so damn hungry between meals. I'll leave things as they are for this week to see if it settles down but I might have to up the carbs a wee bit. What do you lot think?
More protein for the hunger? Im hardly ever hungry now Im consuming way more protein.
You could be of a type that needs more carbs though so not sure.
More protein huh? Might give that a try first as I'm loathe to add more carbs.
Thanks!
What people say, what people do, and what they say they do are entirely different things.
hi androo
being really hungry in between such regular meals may indicate that you are cutting calories too fast!
Also when changing over to a new way of eating ...it can take a few weeks for your body to get use to it!
Or maybe the protein:carb:fat ratios need to be altered slightly...with less complex carbs and more protein, as has already been mentioned...and as you are already aware ,when reducing carb intake or at least cycling your carb intake you need to increase protein and "good" fat intake
Belmont has already mentioned monitoring your response to different types of carbs ...this is important ...especially for persons who tend to "carry" more bodyfat and have difficulty shifting it.....it's like you are sensitive to the insulin spikes that can occur, even with eating some lower GI carbs...and so the cycle of eating carbs ...insulin spike...blood sugar plummets.....eat carbs continues.
It may mean forgoing some of the carbs you are eating at present and slowly getting onto a higher protein with good fats type of eating and include lots of fiibrous green veges
Glutamine is not just great for your muscles and immune system ...it has also been shown to be benifical in stabilising blood sugar levels and helping to diminish sugar cravings.
there really is no definite way of eating that suits everyone...but guidelines that you can go by to find out what suits you the best!
good luck
cheers

Thanks all for your encouragement, it certainly makes a difference!
I went ahead and increased my protein intake in each meal by a little over half. It worked really well and took a good part of the ol' cravings away. I was a lot more comfortable and it made it much easier to concentrate during the day.
Had a good workout this morning and increased intensity rather than weight as I did with legs on Monday. I really made a difference! Ouch!
Today I started feeling the difference that a decent diet and exercise makes. I was more awake and alert than I have been in a couple of weeks.
I'm looking forward to my weigh-in on Sunday
I'll probably also reduce my carbs from Monday. I want to see how I go with just the increased protein for the rest of the week. I'll just modify one thing per week and see how I go. That way I think it'll give whatever I change a bit of time to take effect.
As for Glutamine, I completely forgot about itYou'd think I'd have a clue or two by now
Thanks for the tip.
Id definitely go for the gradual change to see how you go. As Mac said, not everything suits every person. Doing well Androo.
What people say, what people do, and what they say they do are entirely different things.
Ditto rusha's comment....keep up the good work!
...it's hard sometimes to remember everything...don't be too hard on yourself!
Good to know you have increased your protein...if you were only 70-80kgs maybe what you were on may have sufficed...but you are a big bloke[cuddly]
so you need a bit more!
when you start dropping fat and you plateau ...adjust ratios + calories accordingly
cheers
mac
LOL! Thanks Mac
