    in Septemner mileage totals - call 'em in! Comment by mboone4541 October 2011
  • I only saw the topic so I clicked on this just to make sure it wasn't my wife starting the topic :-). 1200 calories is not much at all, especially if you are working out; if I were trying to lose weight I'd probably go 500 to 1000 under whatever your metabolism + workout calories are.

    in I need help understanding the why behind sodium restriction. Comment by mboone4541 May 2011
  • Two reasons, I think. One, if you are eating a lot of sodium it probably means you are eating a lot of processed foods. Two, this was from February: February 9, 2011 (Los Angeles, California) — Sodium has already been linked to vascular disease, but a new study suggests that excessive intake may also heighten ischemic…
    in Why Cut Back on Salt? Comment by mboone4541 May 2011
  • I have been surprised to see how little some people eat. If I tried to burn 1000+ calories a day working out and only eat 1200 total, I'd melt into a puddle. I do think when you are way undereating, you are not seeing the gains from your workouts that you could be, and that your body will stubbornly hang onto every bit of…
    in "...was under his/her calorie goal" Comment by mboone4541 April 2011
  • Yes me too. I think it is just my personality. But since I work out in the morning, I think it is especially bad. I am trying to do a better job of refueling right after the workout.
    in Anyone else a calorie hoarder? Comment by mboone4541 March 2011
  • Wow my wife is already quite thin but perhaps I should see if she wants to lose a few pounds.... :-)
    in Sexual Appetite Comment by mboone4541 March 2011
  • It's a great question. For me I focus on the combination movements (Squats, lunges etc) more so than isolation movements, and I stick to 1-2 sets of most exercises, since I feel that the initial sets are where the bigger gains are made. I try to make up a whole body routine I can do in about an hour, and do that 1 or 2…
    in Triathletes/runners: How do you balance... Comment by mboone4541 March 2011
  • I am kind of following the primal eating plan, I say "kind of" because I do triathlons, and in the window immediately before/during/immediately after workouts, I use manufactured products like sports drinks and gels. But the rest of the day I am trying to eat only meats, nuts, seeds, fruits, vegetables, and eggs. I have…
    in Who here is living a primal lifestyle? Comment by mboone4541 March 2011
  • Hey, if it weren't for the back of the pack there would be no front of the pack, right??? I very much started at the back of the pack (I was next to last out of the water on my first swim), then I stuck with it and moved to near the middle of the pack. Stayed there for years, then started doing some interval training, and…
    in any triathletes? Comment by mboone4541 January 2011
  • I've been doing triathlons for a while (I'd say how long exactly, but it makes me sound really old.......). I'd love to help in any way I could. I am a firm believer that your time goal for your first race should simply be to finish in the vertical position :-). As long as you finish on the same day the race started,…
