Fitness (Diet/Exercise) 2018: One Step At A Time

It's really simple: don't eat any flour, potatoes, or any other simple carbs.

Work out, eat romaine (or something similar) and lean proteins. You can eat all you want of that sort of food.

Do that every day, concentrate on cardio, and the next thing you know, you'll have maybe even an 11% body-fat thing going on.

Works every time.
 
Went running today for the first time since soccer ended in like October. Went about as good as could be expected for an out of shape EI-asthmatic.

Made it about .6-.7 miles at an 8-minute pace* before I felt my lungs burn. Slowed down to catch my breath a bit and picked it back up at 1 mile. Legs finally said "nope" at about 1.3. Switched back and forth walking running for the last half mile. Two miles total.

Nothing to write home about, but also not bad overall for a first time. Do this four times a week until the last week in May and I should be ready for the first game.

*Apparently I've also completely lost the ability to pace myself. I looked at my Fitbit and couldn't believe the pace. I thought I was at something like 9.5-10.
 
I go through phases where cooking at home is one of my favorite things to do. Then other weeks it's more like "do I have to? Can't we just eat pizza for the next seven nights?"

so I feel you MT. Meal planning is what helps for us. I highly recommend apps like AnyList.

Great plan, but how do you get yourself to exercise? I found a great keto diet plan on https://betterme.world/articles/1-week-keto-meal-plan/ and will soon start a keto diet. But in order to see the result, you also need to practice regularly. Tell me how to start doing it?

I just learned to get lunch meat, cheese, and pre-made guac and throw together a sandwich every day.

If you like spice, I highly recommend getting a bag of those crispy jalapenos from costco. I'm still working through the first bag and they're still crispy. They go on virtually every sandwich I make. Fade said it best: Gamechangers.

I'm also a huge fan of Lantana black bean hummus on turkey sandwiches. Less of a fan of other hummuses (extremely fatty) or other brands of black bean hummus (Lantana has the best flavor).

Otherwise we try to keep arugula in the fridge at all times. Spinach isn't a bad one either. As soon as it just starts to go south, freeze it or use it to make pesto. Extremely cheap way to extend basil-based pesto recipes.
