Thanks

I tend to be very good for about 6 days in a row then binge on the 7th. This is not through choice but weakness on my part. I find if I totally abstain I am ok but the minute it breaks down - all hell lets loose. Too much wine, too big a portion, a little nibble of something sweet at the end. Pretty poor really. But,…

Get some low cal chocolate milk into you within 20 minutes of finishing your exercise - the low cal stuff, by sheer chance, has the correct amount of proteins, carbs, fat and salts to aid recovery and help protect against DOMS. Reference - The First Twenty Minutes by Grechen Reynolds.

"Thank God the're real"!!

It's bad luck to refuse the first mince pie you are offered!!

Coal for me

Yep, but I have decided to make a lifestyle choice. I don't go without anything I just have less of it. I also exercise - if I don't feel like running I walk. The burn is still logged. Stick with it.

Welcome. My only advice is eat well and do cardio, then cardio, then more cardio. You will lose weight and as your fitness increases things like push ups, pull ups and insanity work outs will rip you. Go steady and remember the long game. Best wishes, shaun

Evenings for me. Like my bed. Also lets me burn back some calories for a decent evening meal.

Excellent goal, I wish you the best of luck. My own Mt. Banner Challenge is to run the Cross du Mont Blanc in the Alps next June. I have signed up for it and have to lose 40 lbs. I have started training and dieting and so far so good. Best of luck, Shaun

Many thanks for the responses. The thing I find tedious is sitting in front of the computer logging the grams etc. But I do appreciate that this allows the analysis of micro nutrients. Thanks again. Shaun

agree...:drinker:

Can't live without bananas - great kick start to the day.

I walk my dogs in the morning for 25 minutes - I have tracked it with the Garmin GPS HRM and it burns 130 calories - I log that. It all counts!!

Chipotle chilli crisps (chips for the US guys) - Don't really know when to stop with those babys ,,,,Mmmmm Chilliiiiii aaarrrrggggggg!!!

Tell us what you have everyday so you don't get 4 pages of the same idea!!

Here's hoping.......

I have smoked fish with scrambled eggs + small amount of carbs with wholemeal bread. Generally gets me through to lunch.

Really? I am not.

If you think Non- Commercially viable Jersey Beef has never had anti-biotics you are sadly mistaken. Bull dairy calves are immediately removed from their mothers (within hours) - they do not get adaquate colostrum and therefore suffer dreadfully with diseases such as Pneumonia - the only answer to keep them…
