Which am I?

  • Sorry for the late reply everyone but wow! Track is only 2 days in and I feel absolutely sore but great at the same time. My only problem is now that I have to eat an extra 200 calories I sometimes find it difficult. I have been just eating an extra banana, some Cheerios and other fruits & nuts. By the end of the night I feel super bloated :( any suggestions there?

    Monty Python is to the 1970's what Princess Bride was to the 1980's. (Have you at least seen Princess Bride?)
    Highly quotable, never gets old, always a classic, never out of style pop culture....

    I was trying to think if there are any movies from the 90's & beyond that would make the cut to fit in with these two, but nothing is coming to mind. I know my friends and I quoted Better Off Dead all the time, but I don't know if that was just us, because we were also still quoting MP & PB.

    @healthyfitgirl24, go for lightly active and see how you are feeling. You will definitely need to fuel yourself for your workouts to perform your best. Just make wise choices and keep things balanced.

    Wayne's World, Bill and Ted, Big Lebowski...many 90s films.

    But... while we quote many of the 90s movies. It's actually TV shows that we quote more.

    Friends. Friends and Saved by the Bell.

    I quote Real Genius but I get mostly blank stares at that one.

    Eat a snickers- 200 calories is absolutely peanuts in the grand world of calories.

    Secondly- just eat higher calorie foods if you're finding yourself not comparable with what you're eating-

    OR eat smaller meals more often.
    8 oz of milk- and 2 servings (real weighed servings) of ice cream gets you well over 200 calories- and it's delicious to boot.

    And lets be honest- everyone has room for ice cream.

    What are you talking about??? I'm very confused!!!
    I'm so sorry- this just makes me feel old... and deeply saddened.

    watch Monty Python and the Holy Grail instead of Frozen.
    It'll make you a faster runner too.
    Hey, frozen is a good movie!!! But I will watch the movie and get back to you on whether I learnes something or not. Thanks :-)


    And - to carry on with the thread jack- no.
    its' not.

    its' actually a really horrible movie.

    I agree with DB- Wreck it Ralph- great movie- Incredibles- Great movie.
    How to train your Dragon I/II- both great movies.

    Frozen?

    Rubbish- plus- that fricking snowman is honestly to god creepy.

    Ohhhhh someone said Waynes World- man- that is a classic- love that.
    I wasn't as hooked on the Big Lebowski- but I didn't see it till I was older- and I haven't watched it as many times as makes it funny.

    pulp fiction will ALWAYS be a win. It's a whole different category though. Still a win.

    Don't like the pulp fiction, or natural born killers, and big lebowski bored me. *sigh* I do old wrong, eh?

    Dragon 1 and 2 is good? Cool, I wanted to see it to see the animation work. A story on top is nice.

    I'm just in because this is possibly the most entertaining thread I've read today that didn't devolve into ignorance. And I'm disappointed I missed out on Monty Python quoting.

    And now for something completely different.

    200 calories? So 1800 calories a day even on track days is maintenance? Wow, that makes me sad. I eat an extra 150 calories for every 30 minutes I run steady state. More for sprints.

    I don't quote Monty Python.

    My children watched Monty Python by the time they were 8 - they found it hilarious

    This is your parents' fault - blame them for your lack of culture

    But seriously watch Monty Python - tis funny

    As for track - it depends how much activity you do within training - I'd say moderately active (I'd invest in a pedometer and track steps or an HRM and track accurate calorie burns)

    You will definitely have to eat more than 1600 calories to fuel your training though

    Is it? How would you rate it compared to say something like Wreck it Ralph or The Incredibles? Or is it firmly in the realm of Sleeping Beauty/Cinderella/Beauty and the Beast?

    Frozen is absolutely worth watching, if only for the snowman - it's up there with The Incredibles, Wreck-it Ralph isn't in that ballpark .. but you really should watch The Lego Movie :grinning:

    200 calories! Is that all? That must be an incredibly easy routine then....
    Guess you rejected my point about exercise not being part of activity setting unless you are doing TDEE.

    If you get bloated later, eat earlier. Don't eat "diet foods" (low fat, low sugar, low anything including taste!). If you aren't meeting your protein target have a protein shake. If you aren't meeting your fat target have some PB etc.

    Keep a close eye on your weight and energy levels as 1800 seems really low to me.

    Good point about TV shows being more widely quotable in the 90's. Seinfeld is a another big part of pop culture.

    Yup. I was at a diner in Stowe, VT and there was a Trooper sitting down to breakfast. I asked him if he wanted to do a maple syrup chugging race. He just looked at me, said no. I then asked him if he gets ancy in his pantsy when he gets that maple syrup in him.

    Stared hard at me for what seemed like 2 minutes then started laughing when he couldn't hold it anymore.

    Those three posts were from "Monty Python and the Holy Grail"... a movie that probably no 19 year has ever watched...lol... those of us who can quote from it expose our antiquity.

    Well 2 of the 3 were, and one was a nice try.

    2.) you're a teenage- running track which means eat all the things. and then ask about weight training- because then you can learn to lift all the things.

    God I miss those days.

    It's indoor season right? We all did indoor to prepare for outdoor. Or other spring sports. If you plan on running outdoor just for fitness, yeah, have fun with that...

    I call BS- that snowman is super creepy and adds absolutely nothing to the story- nothing- the entire story could have been written without him.

    The trite and blatantly obvious- girl falls for bad guy- girl falls for good guy- it's insipid. It's like feminism NEVER happened. It's exhausting and insulting.

    No way Frozen is any where close to the Incredible's- some truth- some reality. Enough to suspend the lives we know today- but not so much the story line isn't palatable.

    This kind of sums it up

    I will be starting high school track and field soon so if I was sedentary before what would I be now? Practice are Mondays through Thursday lasting for 2 hours to 3 hours at most. I plan on doing sprinting but I'm not sure whether long distance might be better. Any suggestions? I want to maintain my wieght!!!

    How are you 19 and starting high school track?

    Check out sparkteens.com if you want to use a site meant for your age group.

    a lot of the advice here is for fully matured adults, not kids.

    Don't worry. I could be your mom and I had no idea what anyone was talking about. Good luck with track! Good for you for getting active.

    Never seen Monty Python, Princess Bride or even any of the original Star Wars. :) Pulp Fiction, yes.

    At the very least you should watch- mostly to get the jokes/references- they happen to frequently.

    I use ROUS's from Princess Bride quiet a bit LOL. Most people it seems really really HATE that movie- or love it to bits.

    My BF is one of the ones who doesn't get either Monty Python or Princess Bride- which I don't understand b/c he has such a dry sense of humor- but oh well. They aren't for everyone- but you should at least watch them for the knows!!!
