There are several days remaining of the 2016 Olympics. Please continue to post your thoughts on the motivating effects of the 2016 Olympics, on your workouts and nutrition. These athletes make me want to eat my collards and spinach. Vegetables are great. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVPUaeZC9x4

Here are my chin-ups, and I weigh more than 200 pounds. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y8fpoKhBoKs I'm open for more motivation and inspiration.

This is the magical fourth year, and 11 day duration, where everything is possible. So during this Olympic season, I'm going out on a limb to say that a 250-pound chin-up is possible. And barring that, a 175-pound lat-pulldown is quite extraordinary. So an assisted chin-up, where the fitness enthusiast lifts 175 pounds of…

50 pushups. 10 sets of five pushups for 12Aug2016, Friday. Soon I hope to do five sets of 10 pushups, but I will do that through several weeks of 10-5, then 2-10 + 6-10, then 3-10 + 4-10, and then finally 5-10.

The Olympic water polo team sponsors lowfat chocolate milk. So I bought a pint of lowfat chocolate milk, because of their endorsement and it has 8g of protein. Who else is inspired by these athletes, their endorsements and their sponsorships?

A can of collards for today. Anybody else really enjoy your vegetables?

Chinups.

And we daily or weekly get to the gym, just like the Olympic athletes, minus the sponsors. I like to maintain ability; I am not necessarily into increasing ability.

Start with chin-up assists on high reps with a lot of assist. 5 sets of 10 reps on 175#. After a few weeks go to few sets on few reps on less assist. 3 sets of 5 reps on 145#. Then when you can do 5 sets of 10 reps on 145#, do a few sets on a few reps on 115#. And repeat all of that. After six months, I can do un-assisted…

A can of sweat peas. I had to get some vegetables, and I needed something ready-to-eat from the cupboard. But for the sake of a one-topic thread, I'm highlighting raw vegetables only. And I will grant several writers that various vegetables have to be cooked; otherwise, they are inedible. There are, however, a basket full…

I've lived in rooming houses and close shared apartments for many years. And that always involves food on the counters. Many times I can get others to keep their sweet snacks in their rooms, or in their personal refrigerators, and away from at least me. I don't believe in that "moderation" thing either, when it applies to…

Take little baby steps, by surely eating the unprocessed foods daily. Eat at least one fruit, one vegetable. Even if the sweet-tooth stays with you, you'll still be eating right. Ultimately the good foods will substitute and replace the sweet tooth. And hang around people who like to eat right, instead of those who joke…

TLC's SKIN TIGHT, on 4Aug2016, was inspiring. Ariel and Chantae cooperated with Dr Nowzaradan. These were two great stories.

I'm not into micro-management, so any vegetable is helpful. But personally, I'm thrilled for eating fresh raw vegetables. And I'm thrilled while celebrating others who eat fresh raw vegetables also.

Ate a good handful of fresh raw pre-cut kale today. And I ate a whole raw cucumber also.

I ate a good handful of fresh raw pre-cut kale again today. And I ate a whole raw cucumber also.

Super proud of myself for eating a good handful of fresh raw pre-cut kale today. And I ate a whole raw cucumber also.

Please review my exercise log. I find others' updates motivating also. Add me.

Make your exercise fun. Then you will want to spend more time doing it. Secondarily, you're not eating when you are exercising. Just entertain more exercise activities than you entertain eating activities. But don't feel guilty; it will just make you eat more.

Kroger Whey Protein Powder. A canister for $9.99 on the bottom shelf. Two scoops. in water, are cheap and do the job, without coughing or gagging. Chugs easily.
