haha good

remember, no snacks in between, a chewing gum is as bad as a pizza. nothing between the meals! *raises the ruler* haha

UH..No.. DO you know what your talking about?

Chewing gum...that is really splitting hairs, while we're at it let's break down micronutrient intake and pick out certain meats for specific proteins

...kidding. Just remember that you don't want sugar (other than dextrose post workout), you don't want salt and you don't want saturated fats. You don't want to spend more than 45 minutes weight lifting nor do you want to workout for more than 90 minutes without some protein supplementation (EAA or BCAA would be good instead of whey).

As noted in the other thread, I am looking to get a bike very soon. The running and rollerblading may have a more immediate impact, but as far as sticking with something that I enjoy, biking is the way to go.
Back in high school (15 years ago) we'd spend every day of our summer riding 20-30 miles a day, at about that speed (20mph).
I miss it dearly, and would even like to compete someday in roadracing. Obviously that's a long ways off, but it's a goal.

20-30 miles a day? Wow, that must have been something. I enjoy biking myself, so that definitely sounds like fun.

tehk · 07-11-2007, 09:56 PM

Huh, did everyone give up?

thedownside · 07-12-2007, 12:03 AM

nope, i'm full on now... careful dieting and daily rollerblading

tehk · 07-12-2007, 12:05 PM

Awesome, keep it up!

Count me in, too, as this was one of my new year's resolutions. I'm in the same boat as Jeff, just at an even 6'0 - I used to be a consistant 165-175, yet as of christmas between getting no excersize and drinking about a bottle of wine a day for our cork wall, I was up to 190.

Caveats -

1.) I eat a relatively balanced diet, but I'm not making drastic changes in the interest of losing weight. Tehk, I'm sure you know what you're talking about, but I'm not having four egg whites and two egg yolks for breakfast because simply I enjoy food and am not about to sacrifice that. Rather, I'll make changes in the quantity of food I eat (I'm sure I eat more than I need to), I'll focus on having healthy snacks, and I'll focus on getting more excersize (I too love biking and am in the market for a road bike).

2.) I have mono, so no excersize above walking for at least another three weeks.

3.) #2 is probably going to lose me a few pounds, however - I think I've lost a bit of weight in the week I was off work.

4.) I don't own a scale, and I think my female roommates would kill me if I brought one into the house.
