Goods luck I'm thinking of getting up to do the local park run, seeing as I've a 5k this month, then an 8k next month, then a 10k in September. Hadn't been running for a month, so did a two mile last week. It hurt. ____________________ Mpd72: I can categorically say i’m Brighter than that, no matter how I come across on here.

Trained yesterday for the first time in 10 days .
It was good, all my bruises and strains had a chance to heal .
Trained moderately hard and came away sweating and puffing, but nothing broken, bruised, or bent the wrong way happy days . ____________________ I am the sum total of my own existence, what went before makes me who I am now! |

Joined A Judo club.
Now I’ve got that little bit of extra training I was looking for.
I spoke to the instructor and we discussed what I’m going to do.
He was happy that I am not going to enter competitions or that I may miss a week or two.
When I am there I will take it seriously, however it’s not my be all and end all.
It’s been good for me as I am using muscles that I don’t usually use .
Still puffing a blowing like fat bloke with no money in a cake shop! ____________________ I am the sum total of my own existence, what went before makes me who I am now! |

I want to get into something like that, but it's money and time.
Aikido looks interesting. |

Better late than never, I've finally got around to my plan to get healthy 'before summer starts' ().
As of today, I'm cycling to work every day for the month to see what difference it makes.
The journey is 13km each way. I'm tracking it on Runkeeper and it's telling me the exercise is about 500 calories per journey, so 1000 per day.
For the entire month, that's looking to be about 20,000 calories.
Is there any way to roughly calculate how many kg of fat I'll shed? Just for a bit of motivation.
Current weight is 87kg, when I was at my fittest I was 77kg so that would be the ideal. I suspect it'll take more than a month of cycling though... |

That's fair enough. Strange actually, Runkeeper showed the real-time count as ~500 calories, but after saving the journey and opening the app again later, it had dropped down to around 400. I've noticed it does this to all tracked journeys.
Anyway I only started this a few days ago and am already noticing the slimming in action
Bad news is monsoon rains have just begun. Had to take the metro to the office today (I would happily cycle in any weather and have all the gear for it, apart from a spare pair of shoes that I don't mind getting wet..! I say that, while sat in the office with my shoes off because they got wet enough just walking in the rain today anyway ) |

Last night was grading night.
Two hour of shear hell for old Pepperami .
Drills, technique , combinations and more effort than is comfortable.
Pepperami gets his blue belt
Today I am like a lethargic bowl of jelly, but happy Pepperami is happy .
I have to go to work in a couple of hours it’ll be a struggle that’s for sure. ____________________ I am the sum total of my own existence, what went before makes me who I am now! |

I just shovel food in like there is no tomorrow these days.
Today I cycled 40 odd miles doing deliveries until my frame snapped.
Borrowed wifes bike, which is way too small, did another 20 odd miles on that, and bagged a Strava KOM on it. TBH it was an easy one to nab, and I went out of my way to do it, it was on my to do list. |

You might not shed any. The harder I train, the more I seem to enjoy my food and beer, funny that.
The gains you notice from progression, pain tolerance and speed.
To be fair, I'm sorta hovering weight wise and eating what I want, unlike before. If I got strict, it would likely fly off me so basically be objective in assessing your goals, use more then just weight as a metric. |
Oh it's going well so far
Diet hasn't changed a bit, if anything I'm eating less because there's nowhere convenient to stop for snacks on the way home when my arse is glued to a bike seat.
What's weird is my weight has barely changed but I'm noticing quite obvious fat loss already. I guess fat is burning and leg muscles mass is growing?
It's going well anyway. Better than expected, actually, at least in terms of 'looking slimmer'.
I consistently hovered around the same weight for a good 5 years and was in pretty decent shape, just mildly regulating diet/exercise if I ever felt a need for it. Then over the space of a year I quite literally thought to myself, "I've never been fat before, so fuck it let's have a go and just eat anything I like." In hindsight I think I was depressed or something . Anyway, since then I've never made any great effort to get back into the reasonably athletic shape I used to be in. This new cycling thing seems to be doing the job so far though. |

Trained last night with a different/new Dojo.
I’ve been going there for a couple of weeks now.
A refreshing new/different mind set.
The instructors understand that I’m old, unfit, and as stiff as a cart horse.
They still push me and the sweat still runs off me, but it’s nice when someone understands your limitations . ____________________ I am the sum total of my own existence, what went before makes me who I am now! |

Has anyone tried the 5:2 thing, alternate day fasting sounds too extreme
It makes sense that as hunter gathers for several million years some days you were lucky to get water.
I'd be more worried about having to keep doing it for ever or put weight back on.
Keeping weight on was more of an issue for me until back problems in 2016 which means I'm less active than before, still under 13stone though. |

Dropped at least a stone over last three weeks, possibly more. Lots of shovelling. I mean literally tonnes and tonnes.
Hundreds of trips with a heavily laden wheelbarrow. Looking in better shape than I have in 10 years. Stomach definition
pretty decent for my age (46) arms look well, back looks good, legs been getting used as well. Lots of sledge hammering
down of rick walls and manhandling a 40kg hammer drill smashing up concrete pads and old foundations. Pretty tanned as
well as it's all been outside while the weather has been good. I've always struggled to do exercise for exercises sake but when
there's a job to be done, I do like to get stuck right in. I'm motivated well by quickly visible progress I suppose...
As for fasting, what specific questions do you have? I fast regularly. It really suits both my body and mindset for that matter.
Only last week I went from late Thursday evening until Sunday lunchtime. Working on the Friday and Saturday as per
above paragraph. Breaking said fast with a pub roast beef dinner and a couple of pints. Food tastes amazing after a
couple of days with none. It's not for everybody though. My mrs couldn't fast if her life depended on it. ____________________ Currently enjoying products from Ford, Mazda and Yamaha
