Bonsai Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 Day 1: Could there ever be a better day to start this than while battling a cold? For the past couple of days I've had a cold and I felt gross, down and unmotivated in general, so in fact this is exactly the point where I need a healthy lifestyle and a daily battle log the most. Luckily my cold is almost over, so it's about time I get some exercise and snap out of the self-pity. FoodBreakfast: PancakesMid-morning snack: GrapefruitLunch: 2 fried eggs Afternoon snack: AppleDinner: Quiche Exercise- 3 x 1 minute of jump roping- 30 minutes of hula-hooping and trying to learn new tricks Challenge for tomorrowIn addition to exercising and eating healthy: Go to university before 09:00 AM and study a full day without browsing the internet.

starsapart Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 The good news is, if you can do it while sick, you can do it anytime!!! And sadly, my waist-to-thigh ratio is pretty comparable so.... yeah, don't despair!

Metriosity Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 My thighs are the most stubborn thing to leave. They are like the drunk uncle at a party. Just refusing to get gone.

Bonsai Posted August 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 Glad to hear I'm not the only one with giant thighs Day 2: Just a pretty good day! To start with yesterday's challenge for today: I made it to university before 9 AM (that doesn't sound like much of an accomplishment, but I haven't been there before 10:30 in ages!). Did get distracted by the internet a bit, but not as much as usual. Thought I finally had a breakthrough, but it turned out not to be entirely correct a few hours later. Oh well, there's research for ya... Anyway, it's still progress. FoodBreakfast: oatmeal with raisinsMorning snack: a tomatoLunch: a piece of yesterdays quiche and an appleAfternoon snack: another appleDinner: fridge leftovers: spinach, leek, cottage cheese, canned tuna and a boiled egg, all mixed togetherEvening snack: a grapefruit Exercise- 20 minutes of punching a boxing bagThis leaves me 10 minutes short of my daily goal, but I still have some errands to do tonight, which will amount to a 40 minute walk. Challenge for tomorrowSame as today's challenge: Go to university before 9 AM and study for a whole day without browsing the internet Quote Weight loss: 73 kg -> 65 kg or less.

Bonsai Posted August 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 Day 3: HUNGRY! I was soooo hungry today, I snacked on fruit practically non-stop. The first changes are already noticeable though: I feel less bloated / lighter and I don't crave sweets (other than fruit) that much anymore. FoodBreakfast: Oatmeal with raisinsLunch: Yesterdays dinner leftoversDinner: Green beans with ground beef and sajoer spice pasteSnacks (all day): 1 avocado, 5 mandarins, 1 apple ExerciseLanithroe's mini fitness challenge: 38 squats in 1 minuteAbout an hour of (indoor) bouldering. I threw in some random body-weight exercises as well. Did my first ever burpee, just to try it. Will definitely add them in somewhere in a workout program when I actually make a program. Challenge for tomorrowAs it is weekend so there is extra time: Go for a run, next to some other kind of at-least-30-minute exercise. I really really really hate running, but I'm also always jealous of those very fit girls who make it seem so effortless. It would be great to be able to go for a 10K run on saturday morning just to clear my head and don't even think about it. Plus, it would be good for my asthma as well. It's just the process of getting to that state that's so terrible... 1 Quote Weight loss: 73 kg -> 65 kg or less.

lishvicious Posted August 29, 2014 Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 Heya - I have those 'hungry' days too, don't forget to snack on some nuts as well - I find the healthy fat tends to keep me satiated for longer than sugary fruit. Good luck on your run - I'm going to try starting the C25K program on Tuesday, but I will see how my ankles hold up - last time I tried I had a limp for 2 months Quote Level 1 :: Lycan (STR-2 :: DEX-2 :: STA-2 :: CON-2 :: WIS-1 :: CHA-1) Challenges: One Daily logs: Battle log / MFP Link to comment

lishvicious Posted August 29, 2014 Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 Noooooooo you poor thing! That sucks! C25K is just a program to take you from not running at all to running 5K. I think it would be the same as the zombie apps pretty much. Quote Level 1 :: Lycan (STR-2 :: DEX-2 :: STA-2 :: CON-2 :: WIS-1 :: CHA-1) Challenges: One Daily logs: Battle log / MFP Link to comment

I'm a well controlled severe asthmatic but I can trigger an attack if my exertion level gets to high particuarlly outside.

Bonsai Posted August 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2014 Day 4: Running, cooking and shopping. So I went for a run today. It was not nearly as horrible as I remembered it. I need to find a nice route in my neighbourhood with less stoplights though. The first zombies, 5k mission let's you decide when to run and when to walk, but it encourages you to keep moving at all times. Looking forward to try the rest of this app! Unfortunately I stumbled - right in the only part of the run where there were a lot of people around, awkward - and now my ankle hurts a bit. After that I baked a bananabread (not exactly low-carb, I know), and went shopping for emergency birthday presents for a birthday party tomorrow (totally forgot) and some new clothes. FoodBreakfast: Oatmeal with raisins, my go-to breakfast nowadaysLunch: Salad with feta cheese and baconDinner: Faux rice (cauliflower) with green beens, apple, ground beef and creme faiche Snacks: Two slices of bananabread Exercise- Running / walking from zombies for 40 minutes- 3 sets of 10 push ups- 90 minutes of walking during shopping totally counts as exercise... Challenge for tomorrowAs I'm in the train to my boyfriend's parents for a party there tomorrow, I'll have no control over tomorrows meals. And there probably will be cake to. I'm not sure if I can find time for a workout. So the challenge is: keep the damage to a minimum. Quote Weight loss: 73 kg -> 65 kg or less.

I did use my inhaler before my run, because I didn't want to take it with me. To my surprise my asthma didn't bother me at all. As a child my asthma was severe, but now it comes and goes in periods.
