Cardio equals cheddar....I love cardio!
Yes! That's exactly the way to think - cardio = cheese =

hm... if you don't mind my asking... how much cardio/lifting do you do a week?
I know we're all different and gotta find our own thang that works (which is why i haven't asked), but I've been wanting some real life examples for a while =(
No problem. I lift 4 times a week for an hour, and I'd say I get about...70-80 minutes of cardio in. One day I go in and get a good 30 min. (45 if I do a class), otherwise it's 10-20 minutes after I lift, and often steady state just to pad my deficit a bit. Sometimes I'll do intervals if I know I need to burn a few more calories.
But today I walked in, did my OHP, pull ups, chins, side raises, bicep curls...and walked out.
Great. Thanks. I'm pleased to realize I'm speaking the same language as you, cuz all you said made a lot of sense to me. I do a lot of that too... just on my own.
The only difference is I do my cardio before lifting (I probably got to that conclusion via online reading-- I don't know if it makes much of a difference? Probably not?) and a tad bit more of it.
I've been strongly suspecting that I need to kick it up a notch on the lifting ordeal xD. Weight wise and length wise. I'll try to figure this out
Thanks again, I appreciate it!
(Sorry for hogging up your cheese thread OP, but I'm sure all info is appreciated
)
I lift first because I don't want to be too tired with 175 lbs on my back or whatever I'm doing that day. Lifting is my focus.
Back to the cheese board
omg, permission for one more non cheese related comment-- 175 lbs?!?! Not to sound like such an impressible noob.... but damn!!!!! I knew I wasn't lifting heavy enough! Not even close. I mean... not at all, haha. My heaviest dumbells are 9 lbs ffs =/. But yeah, even though I huff and puff, I can't say it's a real challenge. It'll be tricky going up without supervision
I'm thinking slow, but steady increases.
And yes, cheese. Goat cheese I'm particularly fond of ♥
That's my squat. I started with the bar, don't worry
I love goat cheese as well. Unfortunately haven't had it in awhile. I love quality cheese, but have to admit I've been doing laughing cow a lot...you know...trying to keep that deficit
lol at the laughing cow, that is one funny name. And hey, I'm pretty sure I've seen them here (I live far, far away). Those are good for the deficit? Huh, I'll give them a read next time I see them. I thought they were, like, very calorie packed sinful snacky stuff, ha.SophiaSerrao wrote: »arditarose wrote: »SophiaSerrao wrote: »arditarose wrote: »SophiaSerrao wrote: »arditarose wrote: »I lift, but I do some cardio to pad my deficit and allow me to eat a cheeseburger and fries or something once a week.

If you haven't tried Sartori Bellavitano Gold or raspberry, you should - it's DELICIOUS! Especially drizzled with a little honey
Those, on the other hand, I don't think I can find here =/0 -
Darn! I'm sure you have many other delicious cheeses available to you.
Laughing cow is OK. ..I never got to much into it, but did like Alouette, which is similar0 -

Apparently not! But he was fun. He always had chocolate in his pocket or a delicious meat and cheese sandwich in his bag. He also provided a lot of restaurants with their cheeses so we could go in and get discounts on wine and cheese boards...ahh...0 -

I try to incorporate some cheese in my diet at least 3 times per week. Lately eating pepperjack but have recently eaten port salut and double cream brie. What are your favorites?0

Cheese...wine...peanut butter...
This is why I'm squishy0 -

I love cheese in just about every form it takes. My regular go to indulgences are tasty cheddar, Edam, Gouda, Camembert, Brie, Swiss, cream cheese and Feta. Cottage cheese is a new thing for me (I wasn't sold on the texture) and I wasn't a huge fan of blue cheese at first but, I'm learning to appreciate it.
I wasn't a keen exerciser either but, I've come around to the idea because I can have more cheese.0 -
I can't believe that there's some who claims to love cheese more than me haha! Every singe food/meal is better when there is cheese involved! CHEESE!!!0

I love Sartori bellavitano gold and rasberry! Drizzle honey over it for a sweet treat! I also love brie with fruit, but haven't tried double cream. Ooh-smoked gouda and American grana are also recent go-to cheeses for me0 -

That's exactly what brought me around to the idea That's a good list of cheeses! I recently switched from using feta in salads to using Gorgonzola. ..delicious! 0
I used to date a cheese monger. Those were the days of cheeses.
