My biggest downfalls (like most of us) is booze...or that afternoon tea time with the kids coming in from school - I tend to eat what they eat instead of walking away. I try to keep my intake at 1200 net calories a day - which is tiny...but I am not losing weight on that (well....I am but SO slowly that if I have one bad weekend the last 4 weeks is undone). So I think I will have to go back on low carb for a while. I don't like being restrictive like that - I like the 'everything in moderation' message. But the reality is it does not work for me. Tubby, we have a home gym in our bedroom - so there is no excuse not to be ripped - but I must admit I push harder at training with a PT yelling at me "Pain is Temporary - Failure lasts forever - DO NOT give up - 5, 4, 3, 2, 1" Link to post Share on other sites
BagOfCrisps 24 Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 I really have no idea how many calories I have a day. Do you keep strict count there Mamabear? Can't be much of a laugh... Link to post Share on other sites

Can't be much of a laugh... I am using a website/app at the moment - it is called MyFitnessPal (.com if you want to find it). Type in what you ate and it spits out a list of options for you to chose from...pretty good estimate of calories. Was an eye opener - I discovered a few "healthy choices" that I made were HUGE in calories. Walnuts and Dates are two favorites that I can now only have if I burn a truckload of calories exercising. The good thing is you can add in the exercise type and time and it will estimate the calorie burn and give you that back (hence the NET calories). If I had a normal metabolism I wouldn't worry, but I don't, so whether its fun or not it has to happen - so I may as well make it fun. Link to post Share on other sites
BagOfCrisps 24 Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 I think I'll give it a miss Mamabear. Making something that you have to do fun is a good idea. Better than moaning about it for sure! Link to post Share on other sites

This should be in the TMI category, but what the hell...we are all friend here! I am playing with a new HR monitor at the moment. It tracks heart rate, and estimates calorie burn (amongst other tricks). There has been some suggestion of giving it a run in the evening and seeing what the actual calorie burn is Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 You'll have to share the results Mamabear. As well as an idea of the 'exercise' partaken in, so we have an idea. Link to post Share on other sites

Had a great work out at Cardio doing the low impact version (don't get me wrong - it still hurt) but without the heart rate going up there was no endorphin buzz. I am a junky So I went and bought a low end elliptical trainer. Like this: Will let you know if it is a reasonable substitute for a run! Link to post Share on other sites

But I can't get the level of cardio work out with any of those - too efficient! Although - now you mention it - I might go for an ice skate this week - just got a hankering!!!

From what I can gather, it's a loosely organized, non competitive group of people with connections to either the defense forces, expat communities or both. Runs usually consist of following a marked trail through the bush,scrub,forest, desert, whatever. Last night we were lost in the bush for a while, then 1/2 an hour later we were running through the concourse of a suburban shopping centre. All the while shouting at the top of your voice. There's usually a lot of drinking and ceremonial rituals performed at the conclusion of the run. All very silly really. Link to post Share on other sites

He has some Yank military friends and they organise it. At the end of the run there's a BBQ and bevvy.......sounds like my kind of run actually!! Link to post Share on other sites
