The Beej Diet [Weight Loss and Fitness]

BEAST!

The last three runs I've been doing some heartrate training, the plan is to do exclusively loooow heartrate training for the next 10 weeks or so and see how it goes.

Around 150-155 at most (my usual running rate is the low 180s)...first two were pretty excruciatingly slow feeling but today felt a lot nicer and was a surprising amount faster than on monday.

30 miles over 3 runs from Saturday until today, will do another 8-14 Friday.

I just got a haircut. That counts as weight loss right?

I feel like the world is conspiring against me to get me to give up on working out.

Last-minute thing my boss wants me to do keeps me at work forty-five minutes late so I miss yoga. On Sunday my fucked up foot made me buy new shoes because it hurt so badly to walk in the ones I was wearing, and the new shoes gave me hells of heel blisters, which now are cracked and bleeding so my jogging shoes and in fact anything not flip-flops turn my heels into throbbing balls of fire.

You can get a good workout at home with planks, pushups, and single leg squats.

And if you don't do bodyweight circuits often, they'd be a great fat loss tool since your body is unadapted.

Man, I used to weigh close to 400 pounds, then dropped down to 200, and then started dating and shot back up to 260. I'm at 238ish now.

Thanks, exGirlfriend

It happens.

Just keep going.

Just do it.

I forget who, but there was a guy on that terrible parkour show that they filmed in Seattle who broke both legs and "couldn't work out."

So he just started walking on his hands everywhere he went and doing shoulder/upper body work all the time.

Just do it.

Peen

There is no such thing as a terrible parkour show, there is only a terrible you.

Jump City: Seattle, that's what it was.

It was just very...G4 Network.

My ex was the type that could eat and not gain, so we'd go out to dinner pretty consistently. My body chemistry was way out of wack from being so heavy before and dropping the weight megafast. We did both join a gym, which I still go to, so there's always that. Love that place. I'm there like, 5x a week.

I didn't think it was that bad but I also tended to watch it for five minutes at a time.

LTM

The actual events weren't bad, but the scoring and "competition" aspect just seemed random.

They picked good locations for it. If you pieced together a highlight video and gave it a pulsing dubstep soundtrack, it would also be good.

I'm about to go for a run, and while stretching noticed my knee hurts. This run is still happening. This is not the worst decision I've made recently.

BEAST!

I have been running on one very hurt and one slightly hurt knee for the last 3 months....probably will hit 40+ miles this week...you could make worse decisions

hey weightloss thread

I started saying piss off to pussy cardio recommendations and have just been on some form of circular movement machine for an hour+ a day since the semester started

let me tell you about running, shirts, and nipples

AJR

I could talk all day about running, shirts and nipples.

MadEddy

Yeah, the first time I heard about the whole running/bleeding nipples thing, I was grateful for sports bras in a way I had never been before.

AJR

The worst best thing is when I don't initially notice, only to realise how bad they are after hopping into the shower. It feels like the water has been transformed into tiny needles.

I thought the worst best thing was when you have tiny scabs there for several days afterwards
