Eat right, Run..bike..work out..swim..yoga..and die anyway. What’s your health and workout plan

[Orangesmokey]

I live in a state where a plant is legal that gives me the munchies at 4:40 every day

Fair and understandable.

Nutrition is 80% of your fitness and how you feel. I started really paying attention to it about three years ago and its made all the difference in the world. I need to get better about it and really lock in.

Sadly you’re right about that.

Sadly you’re right about that.

it really took me way too long to realize that. I wish I would have paid way more attention to nutrition when I was younger.

I run a few miles each day, go to the gym every other day, and play some arena football each Thursday.

So, I adopted a variant of the Whole Body Reset diet earlier this year. It emphasizes 30 grams of protein each of three otherwise modest meals per day. It has helped me feel better. If I’d lay off the cheats of this holiday season, I’d do better losing the excess pounds. Weather and travel have kept me from meeting my cycling goals the past three weeks.

I have a sweet tooth so I had to find something to keep that somewhat in check so I started making vanilla greek yogurt and mixing it with PB powder, honey and some chocolate protein granola

I made some keto cookie dough fat bombs over Thanksgiving to assuage the craving for desserts. Cream cheese, butter, almond flour, swerve, vanilla, salt, and Lilly's dark chocolate chips. They are delicious.

35 min walk on the tread this morning

0-5 min 1% incline
5-12 min 8.5% incline
12-15 min back to 1%
15-22 min back to 8.5%
22-25 min 1%
25-30 min 8.5%
30-35 min 1%

Ends up being over 600ft climbed.

5-12 min 8.5% incline
12-15 min back to 1%

Is the 25-30 painful?

 

[Orangesmokey]

Is the 25-30 painful?

Painful... no. Difficult at that point yes but I could probably increase the incline percent to 9 and still make it.

Our new treadmill is such an improvement over the old one. It's still super smooth and quiet at inclines of 10-12, great for weighted climbs.

There are really good deals on lightly used ones to be found, no doubt. I paid $500 and it's around $3,000 new.

Probably the best thing you can buy used! Takes two seconds to see if it’s used or not.

My Nordictrac I bought in 2008 is still going strong. Hubby has replaced the control board once, and had it rebuilt once. Mechanically it is still great.

I used to ride when I lived in Tennessee, 9-11 miles every day before work, then lift in the evening.

Pilates with Coach Vigue and the Ginger woman this morning.
Then 4 miles hike with the dogs and the Ginger woman

We had an old Nordictrac and I'm 95% certain the board was bad. It was going to be $350 for a new board without any guarantee that would fix it, and the deck had gotten pretty noisy. When I found this gently used Spirit right down the road on FB marketplace, it was an easy decision.

9 miles this morning. Felt like I was running into the wind both directions but starting to feel normal again.

Chest and leg lift completed as well

Bike ride: 20.4 miles, 907’ elevation gain, 1:43 riding time

Heated vinyasa this morning.
Got to yoga landing and there were people standing around the front door. The lock had broken and they couldn’t get in. The locksmith couldn’t come till tomorrow and they were about to cancel classes for the day…..so I took the lock apart and opened the door. ( childhood criminal activity to the rescue) we had class. I set the door so it would lock and put tape over the striker so they could have class the rest of the day.

Just a normal Sunday

60 min Orange Theory yesterday. It was run to row on the tread. .6 miles on the tread then 200 meter all out row. Ended up getting just over 3 miles in that way on the tread. Those run to row classes are tough. Even tougher when you have been sick and haven't been to class in over two weeks.

5k on the tread this morning.
