As long as you're SERIOUS about it, of course you can join! With the water, you really can't over drink because any excess gets urinated or sweated out, but you do have to make sure your electrolytes are balanced. Have you checked to see if you may have diabetes?Hellooo,
can I join the TLFC? I love to eat and so I have realised, I love to exercise too. I'm 30 day shredding at the moment and keep joining shred groups which in turn become utterly deserted in no time at all, what's with that?! *watches the tumbleweeds rolling across the screen*.
I don't track my water, I drink when thirsty and I am often thirsty, so I think that probably covers it. What happens if you drink too much? Would a person in their right state of mind conceivably have the urge to even do that? And I'm ambivalent about goals which revolve around numbers on scales but I would live to have a group to talk exercise to that consists of more than just myself :-D
Today's exercise: level 2 30ds (strength/cardio) - 240
2 short rides total - 140
work - 200 (still trialling including work as cardio)
Ate pretty darn healthy today I think (with the exception of that hot mocha, those store bought falafels and a deeelicious serve of dark chocolate) and came in juuust under my allowance. Feeling pretty good.0 -
So yesterday I was at my in-laws and ate fine, but on the way home I wanted to eat at Chik-Fil-A since it's over an hour away, but only 10 minutes from my in-laws and in the same town where my parents live. That's where I got killed. I had 2 Chik-Fil-A sandwiches! Oh well, I'll have do some work today while watching football I guess!
Cardio: walk/jog- 2 miles (280 calories)
Strength:NONE
Assessment" I don't regret eating the sandwiches since it's been over 1 year and a half since I've had one.0 -
Mmmm chik'fil'a -- I don't eat there anymore because of the causes they give their money to although I think they are all franchises so my few purchases are probably pretty limited in effect. As fried chicken goes I don't think they are as bad as some - the breading is so light.
I'm still working out ...kind of ... .but the moving and painting is derailing my ability to stop and check in here every day. I'll be back when the moving is done. I did 3 whole pushups after my day of painting yesterday and conked out so I'm going to try and get in SOMETHING today (although we're painting another room today so we'll see) because I only have personal training 2x week and if I don't do at least one workout myself that seems pretty low.
Anyone have any ideas for exercises that will let us climb over walls? We're going to register for an obstacle course 5k and I assume there will be at least one wall to go over1 -

I have a feeling you don't do that often, wouldn't worry about it.0 -

Sometimes it's good to have one meal like that. Glad you don't regret it.0 -
This weekend was sports.
Saturday: 2 games (120 minutes) of semi-contract flag football. Love football, so glad to get the season underway again.
Sunday: Had 1 hour and half of flag football practice in morning. In afternoon, played 2 games (120 minutes) of slow-pitch softball.
I am SORE. Tomorrow's a rest day for sure.1 -
Ooook I lied about getting a workout in today. The painting is so TIRING.0

Hey gang,
I like myself unconditionally!
Happy Monday! New month and new goals! I plan to be 10lbs. lighter by the end of the month so back to cycling my carbs and really focusing on my calorie intake. I'll really have to focus on making sure I load only when I need to. Also changing my work out to focus on strength this month!
Cardio:walk/jog 3 mi (500 calories)
Strength:quads-leg extension, leg press, squat, lunges. 4x6
Assessment:Okay this is it! My Fall/Winter cut up!0 -
LOL! Love the karate kid reference. I'm sure it's beautiful Tameko.
Had a long day on Saturday, 3 plus hours of putting in sod and garden stuff. Easily made food and water!
Sunday I got a cardio workout in for 300 cals. Tae Bo take off again.
No strength, but it was cleaning and laundry day.
Food and water were good, but I was over on sugar. I never realized tomatoes had that much sugar. The last of them are coming in and they are yummy! I must have eaten 8 this weekend.0 -
Meant to post last night, but.....
Friday night: Legs
3 x 12

Sunday: Rest
Assessment: Water under on Saturday, good on Friday. Food bad on Saturday - not too bad on Sunday. Weekends kill me!0 -
Woot! (about joining that is) Hadn't thought of diabetes. I'm 24 with a bmi of about 30 so probably not, regardless, now I'm curious, shall actually make a concerted effort to track water tomorrow just to get an idea.
Cardio: Collective efforts of cycling and walking (500)
Cardio/Strength: 30ds level 2 (200)
Assessment: Very bad food day although did a good job of salvaging. Aside from a very delicious ice coffee which I don't take back, the other not so good foods are all down to a lack of planning and prep and that's the only way to avoid them I think. Shall be doing some thoughtful food prep tomorrow :-)0 -
Assessment: I feel great and ready to start my 3rd phase of 5/3/1.
Strength: chest & tri's

Wide Stance Barbell Squates
Walking lunges
single-leg dumbbell deadlift

Hi! I'm new to the forum and have been tracking my exercise and food for about a month. I have a gym membership and am a trained ballroom dancer, but have been adding a lot more cardio and strength exercises to slim down, tone up and strengthen some problem areas. I would like to post about my workouts but was just curious how many sessions a week most people engage in. I usually add three sessions a week to my regimen. I already generally burn 600-800 calories on a day with ballroom training so I won't count that in my general postings.
Here is my workout for today:
Treadmill - jogging - 5.5mph - 10 minutes - 130 calories
Stationary bike - Hills Resistance program - sustained between 18.5-20.0 mph - 15 minutes - 130 calories
Oblique abdominal crunches with 4 lb medicine ball - 2 sets of ten reps
Regular abdominal crunches on incline with 4 lb medicine ball - 2 sets of 25 reps
Leg press - 100 lbs - 3 sets of 8 reps
Toe Press for physical therapy strengthening on ankle - 10 lbs - 3 sets of 10 reps
Free weights - 10 pounds - dance-specific work - 5 sets of 10 reps
Water - 4 16.0 water bottles [at least]
Food - 737 calories under daily goal.0 -
Assessment: Feeling good, I'm really liking this fasted weight lifting thing so far. I load up on EAA's and BCAA's before my workout and then consume some during my workout. I've actually beaten my PR on two lifts this week and I've hit my first weight loss goal at the same time.
Strength: 5/3/1 phase 3 / week1
- Hack Squat 5/5/5+ (hit 11 reps, beat my PR by 1 rep)
- Superset 1: Walking Lunges 5 x 8 -> Leg Extensions 5 x 10
- Superset 2: RDL's 5 x 8 -> Lying Leg Curls 5 x 10
Cardio: Ankle is a little sore today but I will be attending a convention today and will probably end-up walking 2 to 3 miles over the course of the day, didn't feel the need for a dedicated cardio session.0 -
Some post daily, and other every other day. There's no set program. The reason for the thread is for accountability and if you need some help, feel free to ask me or others. Welcome!Hi!

Assessment: Average day, some lazy food but in small enough quantities that I am still under goal by a comfortable margin, got half way through cooking some stuff but no chance to eat it, tomorrow, it's time will have come.
