Misc Catch All Dieting Thread

Haven’t had mc d fish in years. I like it but no more fast food places for me.
 
although I went to cookout tonight for a peanut butter fudge shake. Only for more sore throat tho I’ve been sick
 
Recently I’ve gone vegan, I was vegetarian for 5 years and a few weeks ago I decided to go fully vegan. It’s been carb overload as I’ve been trying to find foods I can eat, But aside from that I feel much better and am hardly ever facing digestion problems.

Anyone interested in a kind of virtual running (exercising) group? A way to encourage, challenge each other to keep on track or have little mini-contest, etc. I'm struggling Lol. I've run 7 full marathons but my last was almost 2 years ago in Richmond (3:46 a PR ;)) but since I've really fallen off. Put on some pounds and struggle to run 4-6 miles now.... I ran with a group but honestly my work hours just don't allow it and so I'm a solo runner now(I'm kind of a solo type personality soooo... ) anyway, just thinking out loud. Maybe a way to get motivated on days you might not feel like it. Any takers? Not sure logistically how to do it but I'm sure someone has some ideas

I take late fall, winter, and early spring off. Outside of that, I try to go 3.1 miles 4-5 days a week.

What are you struggling with, if you don't mind me asking? And how much would you like to go per day (given your current schedule/what is realistic)?

Getting my lazy butt out of bed and running Lol... just lacking the motivation I guess. I still do but just can't seem to keep that steady schedule like I used too. More than anything I want to get back to marathon form but I've gotten so far from that It's almost like having to start over and knowing where I was and where I'm at now, it's tough. I can run as much as I need each day, it really is just a matter of making myself do it. I don't mind the cold and I certainly don't mind the dark, 90% of my miles over the years have been pre-sunrise

edit: To add to this - my schedule has always been 4 days a week (5 early on in a hardcore marathon training plan), M, W, Th or Fr and Sat long run. I've probably only ran 4 days a week 3 times in the last 3 months. It's been 2-3 days here and there

I'm of the mindset that you (not you personally) need to decide what you really want to do. For instance, what is the motivation for running (or for anything)? Because you love it or because you believe it's the right thing to do it or because you feel some sort of obligation to it (maybe you used to be a super runner or super in shape or super good at something and you just long for the good old days)? If it's the first or second, then you won't have much of a problem. If it's the latter, or something like it, that's where we usually find trouble.

I can say I want to do something day long. The fact that I don't do it tells me objectively, that I really, deep down, value something more. And I think at some point, we need to realize that's ok. I guess my overall point is, if something takes a ton of motivation to do, then it feels like the pressure to do it is misaligned with reason to do it.

For me, I run, not because I like it, but because it's about the only healthy activity I have regular time for. Therefore, it takes a lot of motivation for me to do it. My motivation is that I don't want to be unhealthy and lazy. God has given me the health and ability to do it, and therefore, I will honor that by doing it. Since I have no desire to run marathons, a reasonable distance/time is all I need to commit to. If I miss a day because of weather or some extenuating circumstance, I don't care. There are too many more important things to care about. I just go tomorrow. And during the winter, I just enjoy not running, enjoying the extra time to do something more fun.

Reading this back, I'm sure that this is not going to be a helpful motivator, so I will stop now! :)

I'll fix you up. Tell me a problem and I'll fix it for you. In fact I might start a new OT thread called something like the Rain Cold Fix-It Shop.

Life’s too short , just live it! My brother was a big runner, not marathons, but everyday he ran 3-5 miles and loved it! We have ------ genetics, I remember him having to be on -- medicine at 35 years old, and he was very, very healthy. Got to just deal with what you were dealt. He died at 40 years old, 19 years ago, in an accident while jogging on his lunch break at work!?

Man, that is sad. I'm really sorry to hear that. It's important to make the most of each day and enjoy the moment, because it will never come again.

Larry,

Wanna pipe in on walking?

Me waking birds every morning and you keeping the rodents away with your treadmill ... LOL

Nothing beats walking for me! I had a great one last evening when it was in the high 50s and dewpoints near 50. I’m about to do another walk but haven’t yet decided between outside and treadmill. Dewpoints are 15 warmer while temps are 10 warmer. So, not nearly as comfy although there is a little breeze tonight vs calm last night. Also, treadmill much more convenient! Decisions, decisions.
 
My trainer said not to run unless you want to be a runner. If you have time to run you have time to do wall sits, planks, butterfly kicks, starfishes, calf raises, etc. I’m down to 207 pounds.
 
Keto peeps.... I'm probably late to the party but just discovered butter coffee. Booyah!!

At 5’2”, not bad!
I love starfishes and I follow your trainers advice
 
4 weeks of keto, 10 lbs down and back on a regular running routine... woooohoooo. Just finished up a 20 mile week, first one in about 6 months.

Down to 194. With more muscle now too. Really into the quest bars now, Amazon has the pumpkin pie flavor 55% off currently. I wanna get down to 175 before I can start bulking.
 
I wonder if you are allowed to bulk at bojangles
 
Hey guys.. Did really well with Keto the first time around and lost 40lbs before I got lazy and went back to old habits. Started again Monday this week at 377.8lbs and I’m already down to 371.2lbs.. I took a new job last month that will allow me to pre plan my lunch meals instead of being tempted by what fast food place was off the highway so I’m excited to stick with it this time..
 
I've got to change something up.. I work out 5 days a week and I'm not getting the same results as I used to when I was younger
 
I made a lot of changes last year. Water is the only drink I order when I’m out. My cheat days (once a week sometimes) may include lemonade or koolaid. Also started doing black coffee..takes awhile to get use to it.
 
Eating out..I’m okay with grilled rainbow trout at Cracker Barrel or some grilled teriyaki shrimp at Red Lobster. But most places there is little to no options for me..(namely Applebee’s sucks big time). And those Zaxbys salads are quiet awful in calories. Also don’t step foot in Mexican places since they don’t list calories.
 
Prob not a option for most people..but I increased my intake of deer meat tenfold. You can easily season ground deer for spaghetti, Chile beans, etc. Down to a few deer loins left and they are good too. If I have to buy ground beef or turkey it’s 93% lean or better..
 
I also stock up on zero calorie mustard. I don’t miss ranch anymore or need it on anything.
