The Monkey Posted January 12, 2009 Report Posted January 12, 2009 I'm doing neither, but I had a really nice day today. That should count for something, right? Of course it does! And today I will start thinking thin thoughts. I'm staying positive so far, but there is still a long way to go. Well done. Keep us posted. It's good to hear that you're doing well. Quote
The Monkey Posted January 19, 2009 Report Posted January 19, 2009 So my wife and I each hit the gym the last two mornings. Baby steps... Quote
Edwood Posted January 22, 2009 Report Posted January 22, 2009 Keep at it, Luis. And uh, that's all I can really post in a diet thread here. Heheh. Quote
Sherwood Posted January 22, 2009 Report Posted January 22, 2009 So my wife and I each hit the gym the last two mornings. Baby steps... Good for you! I myself decided it was high time to stop living a life of lethargy and self-indulgence, so it's monitored caloric intake and workout regimen from now on. We're on day 3 of the diet, but the regimen is in its third week and going well. I can do 50 pushups now, which is 38 more than I could do when I started. Basically, if I make it to the weight most of you started at, I'm golden Quote
The Monkey Posted January 22, 2009 Report Posted January 22, 2009 Speaking of pushups, I am thinking of doing this: one hundred push ups Quote
Sherwood Posted January 22, 2009 Report Posted January 22, 2009 I'm doing that. Works great. I'm about to finish week three, and I double the max rep if at all possible. Getting pretty hard, but I am under the impression that when it burns is when you're building muscle. Quote
ingwe Posted January 22, 2009 Report Posted January 22, 2009 Nope. Recovery is where you improve. That's when the micro-tears in your muscle heal. The burning is caused by lactic acid. Recovery is very important. http://www.nytimes.com/2006/05/16/health/nutrition/16run.html Quote
mulveling Posted January 22, 2009 Report Posted January 22, 2009 The recent cold and general laziness have been factors in skipping the gym/pool for a couple weeks now In the meantime I've been doing stuff around the apartment, like reps up/down the 15ft staircase, pushups, etc. Would love a pull-up bar, then I'd be set. Will be interesting to see if I notice much of a difference between this an weights/swimming - it's gotta be better than nothing! Still vigilantly keeping junk out of the diet, other than some light beer & vodka shots Congrats on the progress/determination, guys! Quote
Sherwood Posted January 22, 2009 Report Posted January 22, 2009 Recovery is very important. Thanks for the link. I think I get plenty of recovery Quote
