Re: Diet and Exercise 2010: Whatever it takes
I have already missed 2 of the 5 sessions we have had of our on-ramp class. An we were in one class, and then joined another in progress, so it is kind of a mess. I have no idea if we're going to do the whole month, or jump in to a Crossfit Elements class before the month is over.
Yeah I think I am going to have to do a hybrid schedule, I need to all the guy and figure it out. Because all the classes build on each other, and with my travel schedule it makes it ugly. But I dont want to wait hte month to start either.
So are you starting to eat Paleo? I am slowly working towards it. My big thing this week was no soda. I will start adding in other aspects I think this week. I didnt want to do too much at once but I also want to just get the sugar detox crankiness out of the way.
I'm in Indy for 10 days starting April 30th...maybe we can work something out.
My road bike needs to go into the shop, and I dont think I will have it back by then. But the Hybrid is good to go. (Heavier, but hey better work out right) Are you driving out?
Got in another good workout today, and stepped on the scale. I expected to be down between 15-17 lbs since roughly this time last month, was down almost 25. I could still improve the diet a bit, but I think I'm at least heading in the right direction.
Nice!
I did not have a good week this week, guys. Between my knees and my schedule, I didn't get out running again after Monday.
I have a question to ask you all, though: do you guys ever catch any flack for working toward a healthy lifestyle? You know, watching what you eat, being active, all that? I actually have been lately, and it's frustrating me.
My current workplace is a pretty positive enviornment for that. I talk alot to one woman who runs ultras and my boss gets up at 5am to run every morning. My last job they would make fun of it me, they would also make fun of me because I wouldnt spend alot of my money because I was using it to pay off debt. But the thought of how much better my life is going to be, how much less stressful it is going to be as I work to these goals made it pretty easier to ignore them.
Like it has already been said on here before, alot of it is jealousy and they just wish they could have the dedication and motivation to do it themselves.
yeah, quite a bit, actually. And I concur, it's always the 300 lb fatties that seem to do it. Mostly I think it's because they don't understand or because they are jealous. I had a captain give me a hard time for running on one of my overnights. I simply invited him to come with me.
I would think airline pilots just for simple comfort reasons would want to stay at least at a healthy weight. Those cockpits dont look very roomy.
Yep; my family's been complaining loudly about the meals I make for them, saying they're too healthy and they want to eat junk food every now and then. I have to keep reminding them that if they want to eat junk food, they know where to find it, but they shouldn't expect me to make it for them.
Also, my coworkers keep telling me that they could never sustain a healthy lifestyle, saying it's too hard...
You know what is funny, once you get all that junk out of your system you dont even want it anymore. But you were right to tell them if they dont like what you are cooking, they can make something for themselves.
And how messed up is that statement that you could never sustain a healthy lifestyle. What does that say about society overall.
So I just found out my friend has picked the Vegas Half/Marathon for his marathon target! It is kind of a neat project he is doing. It is called 12 goals/ 12 months.
