The 2010 Get Fit Thread!

[RICHARD]

I did my 30 min on the treadmill tonight before coming home from work. I don't like the bike because it hurts my **ahem privates.

GENERALly? I get MAJOR pains in my COLONELS (Kernels) after a -ew minutes in the saddle.

I salute you?

Today I did my long walk carrying 30 pounds for hal- the trip, then cut 5 wheelbarrows of wood, carted and stacked them.

I will sleep like a 'log' tonight?

Ive got a darn cold but Ive still been walking. I think its actually helping me feel better!

[DJFyrewolf36]

BUMP! Dispite having a cold Ive been getting out and walking almost every day *I skipped yesterday, it was waaay too chilly*
How is everyone else doing? I think Im on the mend and Im fairly sure my new health regimen of walking and cutting back on junk food helped me get better quicker. I still feel kind of congested and I need to work on getting proper sleep *4 hrs is NOT enough!*

[DJFyrewolf36]

Not getting proper sleep is a huge component in weight loss! My schedule alternates between day and swing shift so Im finding it difficult to get sleep. Anyone have any ideas on how I can get decient sleep on the days I have to go to bed early? Ive tried to keep a schedule on my days off but its really difficult trying to get up at a good time in between swing and day time!

I've lost 2 LBS so far, any weight loss is good. About 23 more to go.

Last Wednesday night I did 30 min on treadmill then another 30 min with weight training downstairs. Then I walked up 14 flights of stairs to my apt. instead of taking the elevator. However, have not worked out since, but that will change today. Will be working out this afternoon.

This week was also a bit of a "non-eating right" week because I had 3 lunches out - Wed, Thurs, & Fri and I ate like a pig. Got on the scale this morning and I'm up a couple of pounds. I'm not worried though, I can take that off before the weekend is over.

I still have anther 30 pounds to take off - 5 pounds at a time.

[RICHARD]

So,

Who's still working at it?

I did a monster walk yesterday and 3 miles today. I did a morning walk and an afternoon sprint.

The flu lost me 10 lbs but that was dehydration!

I gained that back in a few days.

I worked out twice this week and joined a health club...big big step for me...hopefully I will follow through.

[DJFyrewolf36]

Had to bump this as I have discovered today that I fit into a lot more of my clothes now! I've adjusted my diet and am eating less carbs and more veggies and I have increased the amount of time I spend walking.

I feel a lot healthier. What a difference a few small changes make!

It's two days after Christmas, and I have eaten so much rich food, I feel like a Weeble! (roly poly and wider at the bottom than the top) It's not just sweets, it's mashed potatoes made with cream, noodle casserole, broccoli with cheese ... I could go on and on. It's been like a total 3-day food binge.

I have to lose enough weight to fit into my good dresses for my nephew's and my oldest niece's weddings (June and October 2011, respectively). Time to switch back to smaller portions, drinking more water, whole grain bread and pasta, and plainly cooked vegetables. Not as delicious as what I've been eating the past few days, but better in the long run. The hospital cafeteria is also offering more low-sodium and whole grain options.

The other part of this is... the parking lot I'm assigned to is located directly at the opposite end of campus from my department is. It's not quite 1/2 mile walk. I can walk it but I have to stop and rest once or twice. I need to stop using the campus shuttle and start walking. It's mostly indoors.
