Had a few South Melbourne market fried dim sims today. Outstanding. Now at gym and will eat loads of steamed veggies for dinner. To me, it really is that simple. Its all balance.

i've never once in my life thought - i won't eat that as it has too many
calories or is too fattening...i don't know if i could put on weight, get chubby, if i tried.
+ I think ti's fair to say i'm a big eater. everyone is different..metabolism etc.

 I'll kick it off, I want to get to 100kg by the start of the AFL season, so about the start of April. Only about 13 weeks away so would need to go just over 1kg a week (I'm about 115 now), probably a big ask, but hopefully I get close.

Just went to the pool for a session, had planned to do somewhere between 1000-1200, hit the wall at 800, was short of a run thats for sure! But least I got there and did it. Plan to have a 20 min run this afternoon followed by 10 mins of interval boxing. 

Planned to take an extended break from alcohol in new year, but have decided to start that early, New Years isn't a big night for me anymore anyway, will just spend it with the kids so I won't miss a beer or two. Going to try stay of it until round one of the AFL, Lions v Pies at The Gabba, might let my hair down that night if I've reached my goal...

If you want to boost your metabolism and promote fat loss introduce HIIT (high intensity interval training) into your workout.

Something as simple as:

Sprint 2 minutes / Rest (walk) 4 minutes

Repeat x5 = 30 minutes workout

You are better off losing weight with calorie reduction and resetting your normal food intake, than heavy exercise. It is more sustainable longer term

Way back in the 70's we four flatmates (1 girl, 3 blokes but no fraternisation thank you) always shopped at the South Melbourne market.  Well remember we could regularly purchase an entire side of lamb for $3.50 and actually go out back and choose it ourselves.  And all the vegies for a week cost even less.
 
Which meant we had money left over to spend at the Hydehurst Hotel at the end of the street.  We once put a leg of lamb in the oven and went down the corner for a couple, and on our tardy return a thick black spiral of smoke was emanating from our digs: little left of the leg but charcoal and thankfully no serious damage apart from a blackened ceiling.  But suspect I'm testing your patience with these reminiscences.
 
In any event the market was a terrific place then and hope it still is.

I think people use age as an excuse, it is amazing what you can do with determination.

warm up, intense effort for 30 seconds, take it easy for 2 minutes, then repeat.

5 intense efforts should be enough, and intense effort is different for different levels, as long as those efforts are at least 90% of capacity

Yep I do this with boxing and beach sprints as well as in the pool...actually 25m Sprint and then rest until one minute ticks over probably kills me the most

 totally right...

 you don't have to go for long periods of hard exercise...all long-distance running does is ruin the cartilage in your knees...

 short, sharp exercise, always works best...referees get fit doing it...and definitely don't disregard the warm-up...I once blew my rib-cage, rushing onto the tee at golf without warming-up... still hurts when a storm looms...(like now..)

I would go for a 1 hour morning walk first thing in the morning. Then monitor your calories and start calculating everything. Make sure you have a calorie deficit of 500 based on your age and current weight. Drink plenty of water to ensure you aren't carrying any "water weight". Water also supresses your appetite. Cut down on sugars and if you have them make sure its in the morning. Cut out alcohol and if you have sodas make sure its diet variety.

If you follow that method you should be dropping 2kgs a week at a minimum.


 generally this is sound advice...however diet drinks lure people into drinking more...and there ARE calories in them...

 my husband was very heavy until I had him stop drinking diet coke, replacing it with water in Summer and tea in Winter...also put a ban on those dreaded potato crisps, which are addictive and very fattening ...

 I cut his sugar and starch to minimal levels, stepped up water and tea (a natural diuretic) ..then we would go and play golf for four hours in 30 degree weather...pulling buggies...stripped the pounds off...he lost twenty kilos doing it...(then I got pregnant and HE ate for two..put it all back on..Angry)

 my philosophy has always been: if you cheat and eat, you move the feet...in other words, earn the right to have an indulgence by extra exercise...any exercise...

 swimming won't actually cause you to lose weight...(it actually triggers hunger and because you are not building body temperature in cold water, it doesn't burn a lot of calories)...but swimming is a great aerobic exercise, arm-muscle toner and mental refresher...so the more you do, the better you feel...

 the question always is: do you need all that extra food or are your taste buds overriding common sense...?

 Pig
 

   

 


So are you claiming diet coke has >10 calories?

Are you from the school which asserts that celery has negative calories?

Lengthwise.

You can peel alternate strips around the outside, so that it then looks fancy when you subsequently slice it.
