going on another run tonight... I want to see 168!!

6/19/2010 5:54:01 PM

^you got this! i went on 2 runs today too.
i also have only had like 800ish cals

but im going to cody's sisters going away party so im prepping for that

6/19/2010 7:08:42 PM

leg day and short run (3.25 miles)

didn't eat enough to keep going

also, remind me to never drink gatorade while i'm running again

I'll stick with water.

6/19/2010 7:41:49 PM

too sweet?

6/19/2010 7:59:54 PM

it was G2 fruit punch

as soon as I hit mile 2, I caught a wicked stomach cramp, except not really a cramp and I couldn't decide what it was gonna do, so I cut my run short and walked for 1/4 mile back towards my place.

I felt blah out there and I did run 6+ yesterday.

But I'll be staying away from gatorade until after the run is over from now on. I usually don't touch it unless I run for more than an hour anyway.

6/19/2010 8:04:15 PM

yeah. the only time i ever really drink gatorade is when im hungover

6/19/2010 8:17:28 PM

i usually don't touch it unless I'm doing yard work or something like that where I'm sweating just from being outside for hours at a time

6/19/2010 8:20:31 PM

I'll dilute my Gatorade sometimes.

After a good run I always crave chocolate milk for some reason.

6/19/2010 8:21:31 PM

my dad is weird and drinks milk after he's been outside working in the yard or does a long bike or something.

i find it odd

6/19/2010 8:41:48 PM

watering down the g2 helps a lot

6/19/2010 8:43:28 PM

^^ That would make me throw up.

6/19/2010 9:19:27 PM

my friend told me that drinking milk after a workout is good for you. I can't remember why at the moment. I couldn't do it.

6/19/2010 9:21:06 PM

i'm sure it has something to do with the protein.....

yea during the summer time, my parents will go through like 3 gallons of milk a week - and it's usually just my dad drinking it.

6/19/2010 9:27:35 PM

^^I thought protein but I did not want to say because I was not sure.

6/19/2010 9:36:34 PM

whole milk is gods gift.

6/19/2010 10:53:54 PM

I sometimes drink milk after a run

6/20/2010 1:20:39 AM

i don't even want to knoooww the cvaloreis I have accounted for. it must be ridicculkolus.

6/20/2010 4:24:27 AM

I remember when I could do 1000 situps and I wouldn't be sore the next day... I need to get back in that shape again...

I think I'm going to stick with a regular daily workout and start off with:

Pushups:
30 reps
20 reps
15 reps

Situps/crunches:
100 reps
100 reps
100 reps

Running:
1 mile.


I'm going to do my damnest to stick with this on a daily basis, rain or shine*


*(if there's a severe thunderstorm, then I can use "sick time" for the running portion )

As it gets easier to do this, I'll increase reps. Ultimately, I want to be able to do 2 reps of 500 situps and 2 reps of 50 pushups with a <6min mile.

Weighed in at 168.8 pounds this morning

6/20/2010 8:32:57 AM

^nice! i, too, have reach all sorts of levels of low this morning

i weighed 136 this morning...which is the lowest i've weighed in a loooong time
however i am positive its only due to water retention (loss), however its still the lowest ive weighed ina while.

i drank quite a bit last night but i'm fairly sure i didn't go over 2k cals.



and on a related, yet seperate note....i woke up with my heart POUNDING. i'm having one of the most intese panic attacks i have ever experienced
ive taken a WHOLE clonzepam (i'm used to one half) and a glass of low sugar OJ in hopes to battle this.

so far no success

I think smores is dat 190% ectomorph like me.

6/20/2010 10:42:53 AM

aha smores?

6/20/2010 10:47:11 AM

weighed in at 240 flat this morning.

6/20/2010 1:53:43 PM

we go way back. team : LONG STRIDER

6/20/2010 1:54:03 PM

I've been training for my new job and working all kinds of crazy hours. Plus I've been house/cat sitting in Nor Ral so I haven't gone to the gym in a week, but I've been busting my ass at work and on my feet all day. I have no idea what my weight is though.

Thursday:



Friday:



@ fiber! oops.

Saturday:

6/20/2010 2:00:41 PM

About to go and ride for a few hours. I'm thinking of heading down Kildaire to Tryon to Lake Wheeler, to Centennial to Avent Ferry and then coming back up to Tryon. Depending on distance I may do multiple loops, but it's gonna be balls hot out there.

6/20/2010 2:16:17 PM

When you talk about all those roads it makes me really miss Raleigh a bunch.

6/20/2010 2:29:47 PM

I think I drove past you, lol

6/20/2010 3:04:26 PM

Haven't left yet, just called my dad for fathers day.

Swimming and being half-jap has a lot to do with it

LMFAO. yeah man! When we gonna have another match?

on a related note...

I weighed in at 150lbs.

My situps were disappointing. I'm in a helluva worse shape than I thought. But I also haven't had anything to eat but a bowl of fresh cantaloupe today, so I'll start eating appropriately.

100 situps (timed at 1 min 45 sec).
1 min rest
50 situps
1 min rest
50 situps.

I pretty much maxed out at 50 in the last rep. I'm not feeling sore, just lacking energy/fuel, so I may do another set tonight before bed...

6/20/2010 3:52:47 PM

^ ever try weighted sit ups?

6/20/2010 3:55:17 PM

No.. But that would help with strength. I used to just bust it out with a lot of reps, which def. gave me amazing definition. should I get some plate weights and rest them on my upper chest?

6/20/2010 3:59:14 PM

Hold them over you head with your arms straight out. It'll burn a lot more. kinda like http://www.bodybuilding.com/exercises/detail/view/name/press-sit-up but without bringing the barbell back to your chest each time

6/20/2010 4:08:26 PM

i just put in my bike ride i did today into the fitness calculator... shit says i burned 5400 calories

6/20/2010 4:51:39 PM

Lifted today - maxed at 200 on squats

hot yoga tomorrow I think

6/20/2010 5:05:49 PM

impromptu bicep workout cause I was bored, feels good to be nice and tight in the arms

now its time to walk to dog

6/20/2010 5:58:27 PM

damn... I think I just found my source of stealth calories... Fucking skim milk that shit has like 80 calories per 8 oz. And I would drink like two cups every morning and sometimes in the evening!

6/20/2010 6:06:26 PM

Yeah, milk is very high calorie. It's one of the reasons I've cut so much dairy out of my diet. Lactose is just another kind of sugar.

Just got back from my ride, stopped at Ruckus and drank some water and got out of the heat and then turned back around. Total ride was just a tick over 30 miles. The ride was ok, but the heat was pretty ridiculous.

Word! What did you do today, about 60 miles or so?

6/20/2010 6:11:25 PM

5400 calories

6/20/2010 6:16:48 PM

Today's 1 mile run was 7 min. 15 sec. I look forward to seeing the improvement... Granted, I haven't had shit to eat today. This is most definitely a huge factor in today's performance.

I've had:
1100 calories today. This has consisted of about 3-4 cups of canteloupe, 2 softie powdered sugar donuts and a glass (16 oz) of skim milk, and a chick-fil-a spicey chicken sandwhich.

Yeah, I'm a bit hungry right now... This Long Strider needs to work on the endurance factor as well..

What do you guys use to calculate how many calories you should intake daily? I found this:

http://www.shapefit.com/dailycalorie-calc.html

To maintain your current weight you'll need: 2627 calories per day.
Looks like I need to eat more...
