The Weightloss/ Getting Fit Thread!

Definitely, mate. My appetite skyrockets though!

 

Yeah same with me. I dont feel guilty eating a lot on a day when I've done something intense though, unless its crap obviously.

 

I hate it as I have a big appetite as it is, haha.

MYSTERY

 

Played my first 90mins of 11s in 4 months there. Was * roasting and heavy unfit, but ankle held up okay.
Started going to gym again and doing treadmill and bike as all the running on concrete was hurting the ankle too much.
Started doing abs and some weights (time permitting) before work most days now as well, just need to get the diet sorted and hopefully be jamming for holiday.

 

done ben lomond yesterday.amazing scenery up there.having a rest day.

 

Weighed myself, lost just under a stone. Good result, helps keep me motivated.

 

Weighed myself yesterday, 1.5 on since car accident at the start of february.

Still not got full use of my left arm but * it back to the gym the morra. I'll just need to blast through the pain.

 

Even a little is better than nothing. I was hanging out my * at the gym tonight. Started with half an hour of cardio then went on to weights. Vegetating for the rest of tonight.

I put on just over a stone when I broke my foot and had shin splints, so it feels good to have gotten rid of most of it.

 

1.5 mile run tonight (9:33), followed by a hill climb on the treadmill to keep the calves stretched. Followed that with 5 sets of bodyweight and kettlebell exercises. Press ups, sit ups, step ups, squats and tricep dips. Ten reps of each.

 

Ryan Spiteri has some decent advice, some * videos on other stuff too though.

 

All I did was write down what I would aim to do each week and on what days. So for the first two weeks just doing two runs and two upper body workouts over the course of the week, then gradually building it up. So for the first two weeks of May I've been doing 4 days a week and by the start of June I'll hope to be doing 6 while also getting quicker with runs and reps.

Quite an interesting programme from a well known Welsh bodybuilder. He is changing routine to compete in a triathlon (iron man) and is setting out his programme for people to follow. For the average guy this would be near impossible, seeing the workouts will take up a shitload of time, and recovery would be extremely difficult. Would turn into a machine if you kept to that plan though!

 

3 mile run tonight.

Blowin oot ma * at the end, but needs must.

Weird as *, ma legs feel no bad but ma arm feels in agony

 

Started weights a couple of weeks back, boy am i weak as * shoulders and back/chest/abs i'm fairly decent at, and triceps/biceps are ok, but i cannot for the life of me do legs, main goal is to improve in that since i'm nearly done with cardio, here's hoping

 

Kind of weird how much weight can fluctuate.

Came into the house last night weighed myself

172.2

Had a bit of a binge on * weighed my self later that night and I was bang on 173

Weighed myself this morning and was 171.2

Got such a mental war going on to dip under 170 I have kinda messed up my weight loss by cutting too many calories too soon as my weight loss had stalled so going to need to cut more when I know it's too little for my activity output

Also been back on the * recently, infact smoking more than ever at the moment and it's doing my nut in because I know my cardio would go through the roof if I stopped again as I was banging out 3-4 10ks a week no problem now I'm struggling to do 5k in a reasonable time
