healthy eating

[psychobear]

I turn Vegeterian in the begginig of the year, NOT VEGAN!!
The only thing I eat that's from animal is cheese cause vegeterian cheese is nasty, I was around 230 when I started, I would jog 10 miles 4 to 5 days a week. Since then I drop down to 164. I do weight lifting but not a lot and cut out the majority of body fat..

Holy shit man.  I run around 3.5-5 miles 3 times (ish) a week.  10 miles is pretty hardcore.  Did you just start running the 10 miles, or did you build up to that.  I never jogged a day in my life before 2008, then just gave it a shot, and now it's a regular routine.  In 2008 I was 260 and was down to 195 at my lowest.  Since I've kept up with working out I've flatlined around 205/210 mark.  What is a good way to build up to regularly running 10 miles a day?

The longest run I ever did (non stop) was 11.5 miles.

No, it took me around 5 weeks to work from 2 miles to 10, every week I would add 2 miles to my routine, the longest I did was around 12 miles non stop. Congrats on the weight drop, one thing people take from granted are a good pair or running shoes!! I would always jog in sneakers or basketball shoes, I picked up some running shoes and wow do they make a difference, but just slowly build up to it, learn breathing technics while you are jogging, learning to control you're breath helps

You aren't supposed to run at this Lazer tag place either, but it doesn't stop anyone.  They only yell if you sprint like you're in the olympics and steam roll a little kid.

If it's all adults, they ain't give no f*cks.

I've been thinking about getting new running shoes for a long time.  I'm just not too excited about picking up a pair of shoes that would cost too much...lol  My current running shoes (Had 'em since '09) are some pretty beat up Nikes I got on clearance....

I picked mine up at foot locker for 30$.. Running shoes always get updated and a newer model always comes out so they always go on sale..

Had actually crossed my mind.  But it's Wisconsin......and it's winter, donkey queen.

Even better.  You won't feel it when you start bleeding.

Ok, but when I get back I will stick my frostbitten foot in your vagina to warm it up.

Do you guys have any paint ball places by you?  I've never tried it, but I hear it's fun as hell.

Oh, and they let you run...

I've never done paintball, just lazertag.  But yeah, there are places here where you can play painball.

[vestcoat]

I played paintball once in the woods, but even with a free arena, there's so much accessorized BS to invest in that I never got into it. Lasertag is nice to rent, play and forget without cluttering the closet with junk that only gets used twice a year.

I used to play Laser tag nearly every day for many years.  Yikes.  In fact, some of my close friends now are the guys I met there all those years back

I did my arm workout yesterday, then went out and bought bananas, cottage cheese, hummus, quark (which has low fat and insane protein!), carrots and celery.  Got a bunch in my bag right now for a tasty snack.

I was gonna go jogging with Donna, but every time I do...  it's like I have 2 speeds, fast walking and fast running.  I can't seem to jog properly because it's like bouncy running, so I go faster and get too knackered (I smoke, so yeah, that's probably a lot to do with it).  I need to build up gradually, plus I find running kind of pointless and dull.

I was gonna go jogging with Donna.......................... it's like bouncy running..............

I see no problem here. 

Pics or it didn't happen.

Played it once in the summer and once in late fall.  My advice, play in the summer.  Late fall where I live can get cold and those paint balls tend to get more solid as the temperature drops.  I took a paintball in the side of the neck and went down faster than a little girl with a skinned knee.  I ended up with a boil the size of a marble where it hit me and a purple/black/yellow bruise the size of Greenland around the area where it hit me.  After I stopped writhing around in the wet field, I picked up my paint gun only to see the pink paint pellet that hit me (still intact) a few feet away from the barrel.

Note to anyone thinking of playing paintball:  The paint balls hurt a helluvalot more when they hit you and don't break.

Soop:

Diet can vary a lot depending on what you're trying to accomplish (fat loss, muscle gain, etc). General rule of thumb is just portion control. I'd honestly say weight loss is 70% diet and 30% exercise in the initial phases. Lose weight with diet and use exercise to build muscle, tone up and feel better.

Lots of fruits, veggies and fiber help out a lot as well as limiting your types of meat and processed foods. If you're doing a lot of heavy weightlifting or playing sports, using a whey protein shake can be a good recovery tool to get you back in the gym or on the field sooner with less soreness.

If you're really serious about getting more muscle mass, Creatine does work very well but be warned that the results tend to disappear once you stop cycling through it.

Here are some general "lifestyle change" kinds of things that work for me:
1.) Limit bread intake of any kind (switch to wraps when possible)
2.) Get rid of chips/dips/bad snacks. Replace with unsalted almonds (in moderation), fruit, etc.
3.) Get in the habit of eating a piece of fruit / yogurt / glass of water in the morning. don't skip breakfast but don't eat a dozen donuts either
4.) Avoid red meat - do chicken or fish instead when possible
5.) Everything in moderation - diets are about a permanent lifestyle change, not about dumping everything you love for a set period of time. You'll go nuts if you don't have the occasional pizza, just be smart about it
