I like the whole metobolism jumpstart thing in the AM, but I like to lift in the morning, so its a bit hard for me to find time to eat and lift without getting up at 3am...haha


I plan on getting my diet squared away (no booze) and doing a mix of lifting/INSANITY/basic cardio(run/bike). want to get down to ~175 with a 30" waist, instead of my studly ~205/32" waist + beer gut now

I was thinking of taking up running in the morning. Now I just need someone to tazer me when I skip it...

Sh*t you have not seen Scer in a while then, because he stopped working out when he got his gf (unless he recently started again). Plus Scer in his prime was maybe 150 lbs and it is easy for skinny guys to get abs He was my comp, then he failed me

Most recent pic I have and it is probably 6 months old and I have made gains since then (especially to abs and chest which have been my goal)

Arms seem to be my storng point for some reason (body is weird like that)

Whatever, Alan needs to eat if anything. He was like the skinniest guy I knew.

[MetaLord 9]

Don't taze me bro

[Ghost]

I need to get my cardio back, I'm far from fat, but my endurance is total shit--I realized that at the last full track day when I was just getting way too much fatigue and muscle shake by the end of the day...

[Sean]

Looking good, Nate!

[Jmetz]

Mmmmmmm muffins.

[Suki]

Whole grain without the corn syrup, it's how I roll.

He needs to eat the RIGHT food, not fast/junk food cause Tubby the Tape Worm has died and he jumped from 142-ish to 168 in the last year. Last time Keyser saw him he was probably still in the upper 130's.

Nate are you referring to pics on FB? I lost a ton of weight after I had Mikayla, then gained it back when I stopped breastfeeding her, then lost some before we went to Denver this summer from a 6 wk bootcamp, then gained it back, lol. I've been at this weight before, but it's definitely more FAT than muscle now.

Yup, it was after that bootcamp. Saw pics here or somewhere... Well now you can join this group and participate!!!!

[Suki]

Haha, definitely. Once we get back in town I'll post up for gym buddies at 24hr, although I know most of you have day jobs and all, lol!

I certainly don't need to lose any weight, but here are some more tips for you fatty's.


The body will only do what the mind allows it to do. It starts in the mind. The same is true with shedding those extra pounds. The problem is not to be found with the needs of our belly but with our brain. Author Dianne Hales writes, “The key to permanent weight loss is changing the attitudes, feelings and habits that determine what, when, why, how often and how much you eat.”
Choose balance over “diet”.

• Decrease “empty” calories, food items with little nutritional value and excessive calories (refined sugar/processed foods)
• Stay away from foods that “control” you (can’t have just one).
• Don’t eat after 8:00pm or for those on shift work, after your last meal before you sleep.
• Eat slower and enjoy each bite.
• Don’t eat more because you think you need more due to the increased exercise.
• Don’t skip meals.
• Enjoy smaller portions.
• Overeating means overweight.
• Brush your teeth after meals, it helps finish a meal.
• It never tastes as good as thin feels.
• Feed your brain first and then your stomach. This is key to losing and keeping the weight off.
• People don’t overeat because they’re hungry but as a way of meeting their emotional needs.
• Calories do count and the reduction of them is what really matters, not necessarily the proportion of fats, carbohydrates and proteins.
• Eating right isn’t necessarily about will-power…it’s about changing bad habits.
• Good health starts with good choices. How bad do you want it?

Tips to Help Change Your Mind (excerpts from an article by Michael O’Shea)

1. Set small realistic goals. If your long-term goal is to lose 20 lbs, break it down into 5 lb. increments. Say to yourself every day that you want to eat correctly to be xxx lbs.
2. Weigh your words. Language has a powerful impact on the subconscious mind, so choose your words carefully. Use the past tense as a reminder that you are changing or at least capable of changing your habits. “I used to eat uncontrollably late at night.” Use the present tense to describe the habits you hope to acquire. “I enjoy fruit for dessert.”
3. Challenge negative assumptions. Instead of predicting that you’ll blow your nutritional goals, remind yourself of other goals you’ve set and met.
4. Give yourself positive affirmations. Positive, motivating phrases repeated frequently throughout the day serve as an effective tool for changing the way people think and act. Substitute “I need to eat” with the affirmation, “I am in control of what I eat.”
5. Visualize yourself as a fitter person. “As a man (or woman) thinketh, so he is.” This is another cognitive strategy that helps break the habit of emotional eating. A person will be more successful at losing weight if the self-image reflects a healthy fit person. Post a photo of a fitter you...if your mind is keeping you overweight, change it.
6. Keep a food diary. Keeping an account of what you eat forces you to be accountable for your food choices.

1. Commit yourself to the long-term. Never, never give up…those who succeed at staying slim don’t give up. There is no magic plan and it’s not complicated. A simple commitment is what it takes.

Im another gym rat that has done most everything, except running, I fricken hate running. Ive power lifted, body building, love boxing/martial arts, bicycle is cool, but finding myself without a goal now. I don't plan on carrying my bike home so power lifting is useless and I am married so not sure what use making myself so lean you can see veins is going to do for me. I just joined Lifetime and am trying to work on muscle endurance. Sets of 20, lots of full body movements, i.e. squats, pull ups, clean and jerk, core exercises, etc. Problem is I cant seem to set a goal and its hard to connect lap times with gym time.

Workouts you love and that you do to improve your riding, endurance?
Thoughts?
