Wanderlust ~ Sophie Ellis-Bextor

Sensible answer? Me. I'm a big boy and nobody had forced me to become a 40 year old, smoking, lard *kitten* who couldn't run for a bus. Tongue in cheek answer? Every sick and twisted P.E. (or gym to ya over the pond dudes) teacher. I was tall, skinny, and thin as a thin thing at school. Did they encourage me to take up…

Open faced tuna sandwich with pickles and carrots! I know that's a fairly simple dish, but it looks sooooooo yummy. I may have to copy it! Thanks for the pic. :happy:

Mon - Weds - Fri are gym days, usually for about 70 mins of cardio (35 mins steady state, 35 mins intervals) and between 30 - 60 mins of lifting. Tues and Thurs are either running or cycling days, plus a long ride one weekend day (usually Sunday), unless I'm on call, then I try and squeeze a run in, as I can a quick 5K in…

Good for you, that's brilliant, and I am pleased that you are feeling so great about your achievement ~ I hope it spurs you on. I don't know what it is about running outside, but I always get a massive buzz when I complete an outside run that I don't get doing the same distance on the treadmill! :-)

I've found Fitnessblender videos really helpful.

To which my reply would be, after immediately taking her full plate away, 'That's nice, goodbye now, don't let the door hit your *kitten* on the way out'

+1 for this. I put them all in a plastic container and freeze them, then once I have 3, put them in my large crock pot with root veggies, onions, celery, top up to the top with water and cook on low for 8 hours. I get about 5-6 pints of really good stock (broth) that I then freeze in half pint batches and use when I want…

I'm not a physio, but this is my basic take on it. This is overly simplistic, but gives you an idea to my approach. Scenario 1 ~ I'm sore, so I start to warm up, and then do some cardio. If the soreness goes starts to go away, then I carry on with a full on workout, but take note to warm down and stretch more, especially…
