What happened?

Found a lost set of keys at the bus stop, missed my bus whilst taking them to nearby petrol station, part I left out from my FB and the HWYD thread? Petrol station attendant, seeing my guide dog, says she can't take them and I'll need to go to a police station to hand them in. This added an extra hour to my day and a walk home in 30 degree heat. Obviously the dog was not happy with this as there's no shade along the route so ground would have been rather hot.

One of those days eh? I'd of probably left the keys where they were.

Currently preparing for my small trip to France this weekend. I'm pretty looking forward to it, it will be pretty fun, hopefully.

Take up cycling  yes I'm biased but it isn't a load bearing form of exercise which is particularly good if you're on the heavier side or have joint problems. Swimming is also great as it is another non-weight bearing exercise. The most effective way to lose weight is through aerobic exercise and a proper diet.

 

Speaking of cycling today we caught every red light ever on the tandem. Averaged near as makes no difference 40km/h over about 70km. We did kind of have the rear brake rubbing a bit and broke a spoke near the end but I'm satisfied with today. Certainly improving week on week which is fantastic.

So I'm off to France, see you guys somewhere around monday

Got a rare day off on Monday (although the weather battering Cumbria may keep me off a few more). Looking forward to a day at home to myself with the cats and some black metal!

Too lazy to do the conversion but I would advise non-weight bearing forms of exercise such as cycling, swimming, or rowing. You want to be using your aerobic energy system during exercise as that is where you'll see results. You'll also want to (dramatically) improve your diet. No more fast food for you mister.

Fine murph

[RelentlessOblivion]

Sorry that stuff about your diet is based on what I remember of your posts in the food thread. Out of curiosity what exercise (if any) are you doing currently?

[deathstorm]

Walking murph 

[RelentlessOblivion]

Low impact exercise, it's a good starting point. You'll want to incorporate some other forms of exercise to enhance the effects. A core workout routine perhaps, I could write one up if you like.

I lost nearly 5 stone a few years ago. Gained a little again and lost 2 stone again in the last 6 months. My problem is that I keep losing weight and lose my curves, losing weight has never been a problem to me, staying on the weight I want is. You should also realize that when you lose weight the fat goes but the skin doesn't. My advise is to watch what you eat, ingredient wise. Don't go for ready made meals, don't go for ready made sauces, check the ingredients in everything. If you can't pronounce it, your body won't recognize it and store it as fat. Keep away from sugar free products because they contain more shit that is bad for you than sugar has. Start using coconut oil rather than normal oil. Eat more fruit and veg but build it up rather than sudden changes. Don't try crazy diets, just cut out on the soft drinks, take away and ready made meals. Start cooking tasty dinners and cook 4 times more than you need. Freeze 3 portions and eat one so you have ready made meals for when you are lazy that are healthy. And eat at regular times before you get hungry, you will eat more when you are hungry. Don't be too hard on yourself, you can have a snack between meals. Go for dark chocolate rather than milk chocolate though and try to replace a snack with yogurt or fruit. And keep walking. An hour a day is enough. Don't rush things, the quicker you lose weight, the more problems you will have with excess skin. (I mean this all in the best way possible, hope I don't sound like an annoying so and so)

Why would you not want to do weight bearing exercise? Anaerobic exercise is what builds lean body mass and increases your metabolism, which would make cardio even more effective.

In the early stages of weight loss it is more beneficial to build a fitness base. You'll get better results long term that way.

I had pretty amazing results with hardly any cardio at all...

There are exceptions but generally speaking it is beneficial to build a base before transitioning into more strenous workouts. It also creates a routine which means once you hit a target weight it's easier to maintain. There's a reason most Biggest Loser contests don't keep the weight off. They aren't taught the discipline required to properly maintain a healthy lifestyle. It's just x number of weeks with a PT then off you go and good luck with no attempt to actually change their behavioural patterns. On top of that going straight into extremely demanding exercise like that after years of doing nothing poses very real health risks for participants.

The client I am working with at present is in Carlisle and one of the team sent me a picture earlier of the town underwater basically.  There's no trains running because the lines have been flooded so as well as having tomorrow off I might be working from home a lot this week.

On a different note I may have secured the funding for a deposit to buy a house although I need to read into a few things more thoroughly but the situation is looking more positive than it was a few weeks ago.

Today's weather kind of sucks. 40 degrees celsius (which I don't mind) but with 85% humidity. It's not even eight in the morning yet and the mercury is nudging 30. On the bright side summer storms developing late in the day and lasting the week mean low 20s from tomorrow to Saturday.

[Sisa Belial]

I'm so sick of being sick it's actually sickening me... Or maybe it's just the meds... Either way, aaargh!

[RelentlessOblivion]

Being sick sucks arse. Get well soon Sisa.
