The way I see it - if I can make what I'm doing work better by using some free apps that take a little bit of extra time, I might as well.
There's never any absolutes with the human body, but I'd prefer to start with being hopefully somewhere near the middle of the 'average' right way - which gives a good chance that my body will be within a standard deviation or two of what works best for it. |
To all intents and purposes, no
I'm ok with how I'm doing it though, thus far. It's working out well, and I enjoy it. I know a few little things about nutrition and such, so I'm not completely blind - enough to achieve half decent results anyway. I've never been hugely fat anyhow - easy to say you find it better to start from such-and-such a position, but most folk who are coming to the fitness thing for the first time don't have that option. Or I guess I've misinterpreted you on that one? Likely
I think you're very right on people's perceptions of fat these days though. Fat has become normal, and fit has become...abnormal? Or maybe more people just don't care? ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

You can't get fit at the touch of a button, that's the main problem. You can however, order a pizza at the touch of a button.
Also it seems like only VERY calorific food is delivered ____________________ Currently enjoying products from Ford, Mazda and Yamaha

Hmmm, gap in the market for fast, healthy food? Or is it just a marketing failure? ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

Yea, there's at least 4 types of Chorizo that are worthy on their own, before we got to the salami, pepperoni etc! |

I had my first slip up on Sunday. During the day I was mountain biking for about 3 and a half hours and burned around 2,500cals (5,500cals for the day). I was starving and my wife only had to mention stopping at McDonalds for me to jump at the opportunity. I was still in calorie defecit by at least 1,500cals for the day so that wasn't an issue, however Monday and Tuesday I went off the rails and stuffed my face.
I was only in excess for 1 meal as I didn't eat an evening meal last night so still in defecit, but it's surprising how quick I can fall into old routines.
What's really interesting is seeing my stats, as it shows me a typical day of letting myself go. So for anyone interested. My calorie burn on a lazy fat day is...
Calories Burned: 2,400cal
Calories Consumed: 4,000cal
From now on I'm going to focus on keeping a 2,000cals intake. My typical daily burn is about 3,000 when i'm walking everyday so a 1,000cal defecit will take 3 1/2 days to loose 1lb of fat. So hopefully every 7 days i'll lose 2lbs.
In other news...
- Pull Ups: Max is now up to 4, but i'll keep going back to the bar until I complete 20. Once my Max reaches 10 I'll up the total to 40.
- Press ups: Knocking out 5 sets of 16 press ups at the moment. Not done a max rep for a while.
Need to buy a weighing scale as I have no idea if any of this is actually making a dent. My trousers fit slightly better, which is a good indicator but still can't do up the top button of my jeans without it squeezing my fat so i'll use that as a scale.
Once I get on a scale i'll update this post. ____________________ Life begins at the end of your comfort zone. |

I'm on day three of a fast, I won't eat until tomorrow at about 4pm. Last food to pass my lips was Sunday lunch.
Then it will have been a full 96 hours or four full days. ____________________ Currently enjoying products from Ford, Mazda and Yamaha

Somehow, that just doesn't sound like a good idea.

Fat shaming FTW!! Wish people were more honest. |
I've started to fat-shame myself recently.
Anyone who meets me would say I'm not fat at all, but any before/after photo showing how I've changed over the past 3 years would say otherwise. Same as you, I can easily stand a certain way in front of a mirror and convince myself I look okay. Truth is, I'm just lying to myself really and am in fact a slight chunker.
Worse is that my twin brother is into body-building now, so he's an absolute machine while I'm an average 30 year old bloke with a desk job.
I'm not sad about my weight, but I know very well that I'm not the strapping toned young lad I was before. There was a staff team photo taken at work the other day, I was shocked to see the weird middle-aged-looking desk blob I've become. Well, I say 'shocked', I actually found the state of myself in the image quite hilarious, I truly never thought I'd end up looking so mis-shapen.
'Luckily' I caught flu last week (proper flu, not just a bad cold) and got a nice kick start with 3kg or so falling off as I fought the illness.
Also started cycling to work recently. 8 miles each way. My aim is to be in proper shape again before spring is up. All in I've got about 10kg to lose. A quick google tells me that can be done in 2 or 3 months, so if I stay on track I'll be able to achieve the goal.
Good luck with your own fat-loss quest, seems you're really going for it so it shouldn't be too much trouble for you. |

Well I've done my 4 days. Didn't weigh before so not much point weighing now. I'm going out for dinner with
a mate tonight. I'm quite looking forward to some food, it has to be said. What always amazes me is the awful stuff you
crap out when you're fasting, foul smelling, watery, lumpy shite. I've crapped 8 times since my last meal when I'm
a once a day dumper normally. Just goes to show how much waste is retained, I'm noticeably less bloated. Booked
up for my Sunday lunch at the pub this afternoon. Will probably do the same again next week and have 4 days off
after my Sunday meal. I should add, I've been supplementing my vitamin intake with tablets. It takes more will
(or in this case won't) power than most people can muster to do this kind of thing. But after the shock I got last Sunday
when I was measured round my waist, I found all the motivation I needed to be properly strict with myself. ____________________ Currently enjoying products from Ford, Mazda and Yamaha
