CanaBull Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 190.4 lbs this week. Had some bad news about deterioration in another part of the spine, rather the pelvis and the SI joint. Been eating the good (or bad depending on how you look at them) painkillers for over a week now and not eating much due to that, hence the loss. Still going to try and use it and not bounce back too much, it is what it is. Hurting more mentally really because of this than physically. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bedford Roughyed Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 141.4 today. Hopefully into the 140's by Sunday when I am off on another long walk. Not many hills, but some big miles in the first 2 days (15 and 16 estimated). 1 With the best, thats a good bit of PR, though I would say the Bedford team, theres, like, you know, 13 blokes who can get together at the weekend to have a game together, which doesnt point to expansion of the game. Point, yeah go on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob8 Posted July 12, 2019 Author Share Posted July 12, 2019 The progress on this thread is great. With weight loss perhaps, but more importantly for motivation in my mind and actual fitness rather than weight.

RidingPie Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 99.5 today Thought I might be going the right way this week, turns out I wasn't. Still not vaping or smoking though and still not wanting to. Barring yesterday's little rant at Saintlass (which she did deserve) I haven't been too grumpy about anything either. Swimming is still good and I'm getting more veggies in my diet. I'm quite surprised I went up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scared i'll do it again though... Sorry for not responding sooner Matt. What you mention is a regular mental struggle for me too; I often tend to push too hard as the instinct to fight when hurt tends to get the better of me. I've had to learn to slow down and ease back into things and not get too upset at comparing to where I was if I get re-injured, but I know there's an increased chance of that happening by not doing anything for longer periods. I may reduce speed, distance, intensity etc, but still get out whether it's walking or getting into the pool. By all means shoot me a message if you need to vent or anything, I'll do what I can to help. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find that when I work out and it starts to get tough, I get fustrated. I realised that is bad self-talk, and I now remind myself that that is a good sign and means I am doing well.

Welcome to the party Bedfordshire Bronco. I'm slightly disappointed in myself in that I managed to lose weight whilst I was in France, which certainly wasn't part of my plan. Must try harder. Is everyone getting the other planet references? we could have an ongoing who can get Shadow's nerdy planetary reference first contest, or do you all have lives?

RidingPie Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Still 99.5 although thats an improvement in that its the first time I haven't gain since I quit vaping... so I'm looking at the silver lining here, and I guess quiting vaping definitely belongs on a thread about health and fitness. Anyway -gulp- from here I'm on 2 weeks holiday so I won't be checking in next week and probably the week after because I'll be away from the sad step. Lets hope I don't put too much on! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob8 Posted July 21, 2019 Author Share Posted July 21, 2019 On 19/07/2019 at 15:00, Saint 1 said: Current exercise routine is gym Monday - Friday, rugby Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday, fitness Tuesday, speed work Thursday and yoga every day. Still maintaining weight at 79kg or so but at probably upwards of 4000 calories a day! My resting heart rate is back in the 40s now which is good, but I'm having to be a bit cautious in terms of the conditioning volume due to being in rugby season. In the off-season I'd quite like to start properly running a bit more. Great work. I find the yoga does seem to help get the heart rate down. @gingerjon, are still getting a bit of yoga in?

I had a bit of discomfort and so pulled back from a lot of things. But have now managed several short runs plus spent the last week cycling round Center Parcs.

Bob8 Posted July 22, 2019 Author Share Posted July 22, 2019 (edited) I am not sure how I feel as using weight as a proxy for fitness, and certainly not as enjoying a healthier life. But...77.4kg. I have lost a few kg since starting this thread need a new black belt. I was not looking to lose weight, but that is about three kg lost. Were I boxing competively, I was told to be 12 stone (well, 168lb because USA) and I find I am almost at that. Mind you, I imagine I lost a bit of muscle in those three years.

Bedford Roughyed Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 141.4. Had an indifferent 2 weeks and I'm happy its still in the 141's! Inconsistent diet, a few take aways, etc, etc. I could do with knocking off 4kgs (or more) in the next 3 weeks as I might have a job interview. I'll still be fat (!) but i'll feel a little more confident. I have a body weight workout to try, and the rower and bike at work will be getting used! 2 With the best, thats a good bit of PR, though I would say the Bedford team, theres, like, you know, 13 blokes who can get together at the weekend to have a game together, which doesnt point to expansion of the game.

Niels Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Apologies for not recording a weight Shadow. No gym for 2 weeks - work and a baby lol. I did 2 hours Saturday at the gym. Surprisingly but pleasingly I am still the same weight, 72.12. Thanks very much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
