I think I'll try that intermittent fasting thing that someone mentioned.

I do the daily version--I eat between 12:00 noon and about 7:00 PM. If I really wanted to lose more weight I'd eat better (less sugar) as well, but sweet tooth...

Two things in life you dare not piss off... your woman, and your sweet tooth.

And the worst part is that I prefer my sugar basically straight up--jelly beans, skittles, starbursts, gummi candies, etc. Not the high-brow chocolate or cake or anything. Sugar. Mixed with some sugar and a little flavoring.

@Benjamin-Hall I'm going to not eat one day, then eat for two days, then not eat for one day, etc.

Should work just fine, the important thing is to make sure you don't binge on your non-fast days. That's a common problem and you can easily wipe out any benefit.

@Cursorkeys No, I've got that down. It's really a strange feeling to have hunger pangs right after a big lunch, though.

I do the nightly version, between 8pm and 8am.

Well, here goes several hundred dollars of nothing...

I'm super impressed with this already! Just one night's rest has let me sleep for days!

@Tsaukpaetra I've apparently spent much of my waking hours exercising...

@Tsaukpaetra
Did you use default hart zones or configured them? Zones should be configured based on a range between resting and max heart rate. If they are set up too low they will indicate heavy activity
during low intensity activities. Take a few minutes to set your rest heart rate and the information will improve.
Also fat burning is still a relative low zone. You didn't log minutes in the cardio or peak zones. Those you usually only achieve during actual excercise.

I was not prompted, I assumed it was all automatic. The docs indicate this is so,and there's next to no customization.

It's about time I whipped my fubar'd body into shape again. Before I accumulated about 40% crippleness, I was actually in pretty good shape, could run a few km, and lift heavy shit for long distances and all that stuff. After, I've developed a severe case of couch potato to go with the crippleitis. I got rid of the extra lard over this summer by simply changing my diet, so I'm just down to about 105kg now.
But if I want to actually get somewhere with my racing I need to actually get the body back in enough of a shape to not sound like a broken bagpipe after a handful of laps around a short circuit.. Given that I am incapable of running or riding bicycles, I'm off to the gym 3-4 days a week. The joy.
But hey, at least there's a thread on my favorite forum on the topic!

@mott555 said in WTDWTF Fitness Group:
@PleegWat GPS is usually accurate to a few feet or better on the latitude/longitude axes. On elevation, it can be off by as much as several hundred feet. I think the original GPS design was never intended to measure elevation but I didn't even spend the night at a Holiday Inn Express so I could be very wrong on that part.
For comparison, a calibrated barometric altimeter (even a cheap one, I have one I spent about $2 for to play with on an Arduino) is accurate to less than an inch! I don't remember what the survey crews at my last company did to measure elevation.
Modern survey crews typically use GPS. They are supposedly accurate to well within 1/100th of a foot, assuming they can get a lock on the proper number of satellites.

Anyways, if anyone's interested in stalking my stats, apparently I have a public profile:
Yes, my daily step goal is a mere 5k. It's small, but attainable. Mostly. Usually.

Did you happen to have burritos for dinner?

@PleegWat No. I hadn't eaten all day.

It's over nine thousand!

@pie_flavor This time I'm smelling a brownie, that's been sitting in a pan for a full day, through a closed door. I assume my stomach is thinking that since I've caved for one before, I'll do it again. My mouth is also screaming for flavor, since my stomach screaming for food didn't work, but I've been solving that with small amounts of Tajin.

I managed to walk on a treadmill for 6.5 minutes this week, which is longer than I expected to last. I was breathing pretty hard, and I was really feeling the lactic acid in my leg muscles, but I think I could have gone a bit longer, but that was enough to get my heart rate up to the target. The EKG before, during and after, and the echocardiogram before and after were all normal. So I won't drop dead from exercising.
Once I caught my breath and my leg muscles recovered, which they did pretty quickly, I felt pretty good. I'd forgotten how good vigorous exercise feels. I need to walk away from the computer and around the block more often. If only so many other things didn't hurt...

Fitbit claims I went for a bicycle ride for 15 minutes on Friday.
Well, I suppose it makes more sense than falling down fifteen floors... right?
-
Contemplating if I should go for an other bike tour ... I'm already totalling 150+ km with 1600+ meters of altitude gain in the past 7 days. I could take a day off. But then again ... I have time and the weather is still nice enough ... I could make it a local thing without climbs.

Knowing your appreciation of fine
ry, I'm sure you'll appreciate knowing that the pain you are feeling is actually just you creating microscopic tears in your muscles as you excercise. Which then leads to your body making better muscle tissues that will allow you to progressively go further and further as you keep at it.

The GPS in your cellphone or fitness tracker is not that accurate.

@boomzilla I guess I just haven't heard lactic acid talked about enough in that context to be able to immediately recognize when it's being talked about in that way.

@boomzilla said in WTDWTF Fitness Group:

Yes, "feel the
Bernburn." I'm very familiar (although not recently) with both the post-exercise pain due to microscopic muscle tears and the burning sensation during exercise, and I was definitely talking about the fatigue and burn while I was exercising, both of which went away with maybe 5 minutes of rest. The exercise was not strenuous enough to cause any post-exercise pain at all.

Meanwhile, my running is going terribly lately. I've accidentally lost 15 pounds and I didn't have 15 pounds to lose. I'm eating a lot more, but my appetite is still too low for my metabolism and I really run out of steam after about 2 miles. Trying to supplement by force-feeding myself large quantities of whole milk.
-
Alright, alright already you guys. All this incessent bumping of my thread as though you're trying to guilt me back onto the wagon...
>_> <_<
sigh Maybe a fitness tracker will help keep me motivated, show progress a little better? Done did bought me a fitbit today.

I walked around the building at lunch today. It's not much of a walk, but it's maybe 50x the activity I usually do.

Where the fuck are you that mayonnaise is yellow????!!?
-
@Tsaukpaetra Where the fuck are you that mayonnaise is not yellow(-ish)???
(OK, OK, @mott555's avatar is pretty dark yellow for any mayonnaise, but I've never really looked very closely and chalked it up to whatever editing etc. happened between lifting the picture from a random website and ending up here)
-
@remi said in WTDWTF Fitness Group:

At best, it's maybe slightly yellow if you made it with a lot of yolk, but otherwise...
-
I've never seen mayo that wasn't white...
Paging @Karla, she loves mayo and may be able to comment further.

Cultural divide is striking again... for me mayonnaise is always at least a pale yellow (not orange, for sure, unless mixed with other stuff). "Yellow" might a bit strong, but I would never describe it as "white".
I tried a GIS for "mayonnaise recette" to force the results to come from French websites (or at least French-speaking ones) and while the difference isn't absolutely obvious, I do seem to have more yellowish results than what you get (or what I get with "mayonnaise recipe").

Yes, as mentioned previously it depends on how much yolk you use. Perhaps "true" mayonnaise uses significant portions and thus has a stronger tint.

Plus the Mott's company is best-known (in the U.S. anyway) for applesauce and fruit juice. I'd be surprised if they had any mayo in their product line.
