You can't change the standard overnight and then expect us to compare how fat we were as a country in the 1940s to where we are today...its not comparable anymore because we change the standards...

To be fair, the portion-size comparisons from then and now that I've seen are pretty indicative of the trends...

Re: Diet and Exercise 2010: Whatever it takes
hence the point... things need to be consistent and they need to explain what's going on. BMI isn't that good for various reasons and I know you can't go back in time and collect data. But its worthless to say "yeah, they reported a high value" and then use that to justify the rest its "false but accurate".

Good. Freaking. Lord.
I am never eating at Jimmy Johns again. Holy freaking hell. Don't look at the nutrition information. Just don't.

Well, their "low fat" sandwich option is the #4 (Turkey Tom). Ok, yes, I guess that is technically low fat, but it's over 500 calories, just for a farking sandwich!
I'm going to be THAT person at the counter that asks for like 7 modifications to their order. Oh well.

Seriously, just ask for no mayo and its not that bad for you...the turkey tom becomes 320 calories

Are the cis okay?
Re: Diet and Exercise 2010: Whatever it takes
Or you can swap the mayo for avocado spread and it becomes 335 calories. If you're really concerned about the nutrition of your sandwich, you can always swap the bread for a lettuce wrap and it becomes a mere 93 calories.
Went for an 8 mile run this morning; I figure as long as I reach 10 miles by April 17, I'll be in good shape for the Fifth-Third 25K on May 8.

Re: Diet and Exercise 2010: Whatever it takes
Besides that, its expensive too. Eating right is a pain, because if you eat out you kill all the work you did in the past few days. Figure if you are one of those folks who lives in a city and eats out w/ co workers once a week to the tune of 20 bucks or so, by the end of the year you could afford a mint flat screen TV had you opted to not go out.
but the motto this year is, 'whatever it takes'!

Re: Diet and Exercise 2010: Whatever it takes
ultimate frisbee thursday... yesterday I hit 200 pound squat, 175 bench press, 225 deadlift... ok, the deadlift isn't impressive, and yeah there's a lot of humans that can do that... but at this point... I'd like to take a order of chicken, thing of fries, some ketchup... etc.
Well, if there is one thing to be said in all this, the more I do it the more in shape I become... it being the weights and the other sports stuff... but man... going around like a cripple gets old

Re: Diet and Exercise 2010: Whatever it takes
wow, your progressing much faster than I did starting out. Nice work on all those lifts! Don't worry, eventually your body will be used to it and will adapt so that you aren't a cripple after every day you work legs. True, its still pretty tough but eventually the soreness becomes moderate and doesn't affect your daily living.
also your numbers aren't lopsided like some bodybuilders. DL>squat>bench generally, which means you are heading in the right direction. keep it up!

Re: Diet and Exercise 2010: Whatever it takes
That's exactly what I did. It just blew me away, though, that there could be that many calories in a turkey sandwich!

Re: Diet and Exercise 2010: Whatever it takes
have you seen how they apply the mayo at that place? It's with a spatula! Even worse though is Subway. I don't eat mayo, but I've watched them put mayo on a sandwich. Three full lines. That's gotta be about 100 calories per line!
At Jimmy Johns, I order the number 11, no mayo, add oil and vinegar. And always get a pickle on the side. And here's a handy tip if you eat McDonalds or other burger places: take half your bun off. You'll save about 60 calories and notice no taste difference.

Re: Diet and Exercise 2010: Whatever it takes
The only commentary to the deadlift is it usually isn't supposed to be passed by the squat but I've only been doing 5 pound increments every other session. Squat every workout day (MWF)... day "A" is shoulder press (2.5 pound increments) and power clean... day "B" is deadlift and bench and each time is an attempt to increase that weight.
Everything else has been great though it should be noted that most weeks I only do one other cardio/sports type stuff and I haven't cut back on my food intake though I have been more aware about it... so I've been able to recover enough.

Re: Diet and Exercise 2010: Whatever it takes
Didn't get that far north - I'd originally planned to go over to the west side greenway and up to 48th, then across there to the east side path, so that was the route I had in my mind. Then when I got to 48th I decided I didn't feel like turning around yet, so I kept going up the west side, past the boat basin, uphill where the path turns away from the river, and turned at the roundabout where the bike path goes back downhill about at 90th street, about 9 miles to that point. Didn't really feel like figuring out a good new street route on the fly, so I went back down to 48th and then across to the east side, and I guess the return trip was a bit longer.

Re: Diet and Exercise 2010: Whatever it takes
Isn't it a little messy eating a quarter pounder without half of the bun?
Re: Diet and Exercise 2010: Whatever it takes
Running update- I'm entering another low mileage week, only 25 miles this week, which is good since it's also Frozen Four Week. And I'm planning on skipping my run on Saturday so I can play hockey...
Anyway, my June goal is to run the Dexter Ann Arbor Half Marathon in under 2:00, which is 9:10 pace. For some reason, I let myself run yesterday (Saturday) and I did 10 miles at 8:57!!!
I'm pretty optimistic to make my gaol, now!
My longer term goal is to maintain that pace for double the mileage in October. I'm pretty hopeful about that, since last year's goal was the same (abit a lit "eaisier") when I wanted to double my 10k distance and maintain pace, and the end result was about 20seconds a mile faster.
The hard part now is IF (and that's a HUGE IF) I want to realisitcally make Boston, I have to do it reasonably soon, but I don't think 3:20 is realistic in the next 2 years. So 3:30 when I'm 45-50 is the "goal" aka 8:00 miles.
Marathon one is survivial. Marathon two is a realistic assesment of that goal. If two isn't that close, I'll stick with my long term plan of being able to run a half Marathon whenever I feel like it, especially on a trip.
Enough of my rambling.
