I am a wannabe triathlete ... I run and cycle ... but not found the time yet to swim .. Its on my list of things to start though as soon as my kid ditches all her neurosis she inherited from me and becomes more independant
-
dude .. thats a massive difference ... keep on at that rate and the pics in November you will look awsome you are packing some decent muscle under the extra wrapping
-
you had lentils and spinach yesterday ... thats pretty close ;)
-
rest days for me are "active recovery" days ... so I'll do cardio for fun, ie run 7-10km with out looking at the watch, just cruise along beathing nice and enjoying the view ... or go cruise around on the bike for an hour on the trails .. dont push hard, just ride for enjoyment

20/4 is my IF of choice, but I generally only do IF 2-3 times a week of which one of them will probably be a 16/8. Missing breakfast and lunch and then eating at 6pm when I feed the kiddy and then my own dinner at 8pm - bed at 10 works well for me keeping the calories low however ... working in an office environment where…

woah ..... big numbers ... how long have you been lifting to reach that weight ??
-
This ... I used to hate exercise until one day I queued 20 minutes to get out the carpark, whilst queuing I googled the cost of bikes and realised that a cost of a decent bike was a 3 months parking and fuel in the car. I bought a bike I became addicted to cycling to work, racing other riders, dragging buses and cars up…

looking old is unavoidable ..... looking old and badass ? thats a choice. chose a sport and dress the part and let your progress, your browsing the internet for more gym clothes etc, forcus your mind way from "being old" to being a 60 something athlete !
-
running boring .... but lifting weights isnt ? you pick a weight up ... put it down again ... pick it up again ... put it down again ... pick it up again ... put it down again ..... yeah, ok unless you have the mental capacity of a 2 year old I would hardly say lifting is up there with the most exciting of activities. I…

If you are set to lose .. then in theory you can eat the calories back and lose weight at the rate you specified But Only if you are actually burning those 500calories and your activity level is accurate and your logging is accurate. Gym machines can massively overestimate calorie burn .. you might be less active than you…
-
cheese ... I rarely eat cheese now knowing that the the amount I want is about 600kcal ... and a 100kcal serving is just not worth my time eating Fries ... I was cooking a whole tray of them for me and the missus .... turns out thats 6 portions !
-
I hate cheat days ... infact I hate any "rules" you apply to food, its a one track way to an Eating disorder ... might only be a minor eating disorder, but these things can escalate trust me on this .... you end up massively over eating on your cheat day, because you feel you have to make the most of it ... then to recover…

weights 3 times a week Run 10k 3 times a week Cycle for fun 2 times a week Commute to work by bike 4 times a week Yoga 2 times a week that leaves me with 1hr spare workout time a week, that I fill with whatever I am in the mood for
-
stop typing this and eat the Greek yogurt infront of me ! BOOM !!!! .. I am already hot ! ...... well I am not really, but I am probably the best I will ever be, so I am calling it now as its probably all down hill from here with wrinkled skin and sagging titties
-
When I holiday in the UK I travel with a single 20kg kettlebell and my running shoes ... when I go abroad I just take the running shoes Running isnt really like working out when you are on holiday, get up early, go for a easy 5-10k along the beach as the sun comes up ... sit for a while and watch the birds ..... get back…

just be yourself ... what ever you do will embarrass her
-
just eat less .... it really can be that simple my wife and child are smaller than me ... they weigh less than me .... they eat less than me .... we all eat the same meal though,
-
my hip mobility has improved a lot through yoga ... but its been slow. I have been doing it for over a year twice a week. If you can work in a routine where you do hip work every day ... ie get up in the morning and do a 15 min flow before you step in the shower I think this would work wonders in a lot less time
-
Oh .. and I'll add you ... on one condition ? ..... if you do start following a keto diet and subsequesntly start trying to convert me or flooding the feed showing me pictures of meals that are apparently amazing despite the lack of carbs like yummy salty fries, or a jacket potato or fried rice, or batter ..... then I am…
-
you are not losing weight, because you are eating too much ... PERIOD whether its carbs, fat or protein is irrelevant to your actual size. In order to lose fat you need to consistantly eat less calories than your body requires to maintain its current weight. Keto will only work for you, IF by heavily restricting all carbs…
-
I’d say it’s easier at 40 ... when you are younger it’s all going out, fast food loads of beer etc etc At 40, sure you move less with that desk job, but it’s so easy to control what you eat and drink ... ie no alcohol on a week day, cook your own food 95% of the time What is harder is recover and building muscle
-
you can already run 6miles several times a week, you might not need a plan ... I run 6 miles 3 times a week it takes about an hour .... half marathon is just running for 2 hours ... do your run, your regular route and then just repeat it. you might want to slow your 6mile pace down a bit though so the whole thing is just a…

the continual arguments I have with myself in my head over what to eat.
-
I look far better nude ... probably because I am rubbish at clothes ... t-shirts make my arms look skinny, shorts make my legs look like they belong on a chicken, underwear highlights my pelvic tilt more so makes by cut look bigger. I normally wear tight underwear as its easier to jump on and off the bike without squashing…
-
wow .... I didnt think that would be possible in only 2 months ... nice work, you have to be proud of that !!!
-
wow, you are committing so much energy, time and emotion looking back at your past .... if you could use that resource to look forwards you could really achieve your goals. I dont think you can do this alone though .. you will need a support group but they need to be people that actually car about you and your well being,…
-
you couldnt really ask for "long term success" if it was the latest fad could you ? .... the diet has to have been around for a few years in order for the data to be accurate to whether is successful or not ;)
-
find a routine ..... if you can get into a routine for when and how you exercise, when and how you eat .. then consistency is a given. also to start off with, follow a program. whether thats a lifting program at the gym or whether its pre-planning all your meals at the beginning of the week having a plan to follow saves…
