mini-sledges might be a good idea for those of us that can't handle full size sledge hammers, or are just looking for something different to try out.

I bought a couple of them from wal-mart recently and am starting to use them more or less like clubbells... this is in addition to using a 12 lb ...

I think it's up to you, but usually I suspect most consider eating out to be a special thing to be reserved for S days.

http://habitrpg.com/ is cool! It's a site/app that works a bit like habitcal but on steroids. For gamer types like myself, I think I can find more motivation there than here or in the excel files I've been using... as it is social a bit. I'm also starting to use fitocracy more (read about habitrpg ...

not sure how helpful this will be, but here's a couple of interesting links related to dieting that I found a few days ago:

Calorieking's interactive calorie counter thingy that shows you "the amount of calories you should eat every day"

I am diabetic... you can do no s with diabetes, BUT... you really got to watch sugar if you do and consider a 4th meal if necessary.... the no snacks is probably the hardest part for those of us with diabetes... if my sugar goes too much below 100 I get lightheaded and almost have to eat or drink ...

Yoga and Pilates videos are all over youtube and elsewhere and those mainly focus on stretches.

I really love bing, and yahoo video search. Do advance searches for words like yoga and set it to pick out video lengths over 20 minutes. Then use some 'tools' to get them on your local computer so you ...

Guilt is a subtle hint from the brain to change things next time... Next time, don't go so hog wild and perhaps the guilt will subdue itself...

Hasfit http://hasfit.com/ has some awesome affirmations that they post on facebook page regularly.

I'm starting to workout more - doing a 10-15 minute tape in mornings and a longer workout tape in evenings. I'm going to use some hasfit stuff in some of this along the way.

Keep your money at home!

I'm tempted very much by a cafeteria that serves good food at work as well as several vending machines... and they just recently installed an atm machine too...

Something that I've started doing to help myself avoid the temptation is to keep my credit cards and debit ...

instead of using a black or white thing -- or two colors or whatever, why not try something with more than one tone... I sort of use a calendar to track good habits. One dash is a 'good' day for the first habit (working out in morning), a line up and down through the dash, making a cross out of the ...

I am still fairly new to the forums here, but one thing that I'm wondering about is if maybe you don't have a food allergy of some sort and it's only certain grains?

What's the best way to get yourself to 'pay at the pump' for gas so as to avoid going in to the dangerously evil snack and sweet filled convenience stores at the gas stations?...

mastermesh

but... the guys that did the most did hour long workouts... I suspect if they'd done 2 thirty minute workouts per day, spreading them out to one in AM and one in PM results would have been a lot different?

I think most folks start workouts strong at beginning but start putting less effort in after ...

mastermesh

can't find the link right now but the other day I had a similar question... I saw some blog somewhere where two guys were working out together with concrete blocks. They'd stack them, hand them to one another and then build a tower sort of and start it over a time or two... the running with bricks ...

are you stretching? soreness is usually a result of lactic acid buildup unless is is 'real pain' which is something different where you've actually done some damage.

mastermesh

ah, the joys lactic acid... If that's all it is, working through it is sometimes the way to go since the cardio type movements will get blood flowing and maybe the blood can help move the acid to other areas instead of keeping it congested in one area causing pain.

As far as inflammation goes ...

as far as zombieland routine goes... have you seen the crazy movie Abraham Lincoln - Zombie Killer yet? It's awesome. He uses a sickle instead of a hammer, but same philosophy would apply.

mastermesh

on the milk and honey idea... I've been putting ginger in my cereal lately to help with inflammation and OH MY GOD, that ginger really makes the milk taste amazing. It's almost like eating super expensive and bad for you ice cream... (it also really helps to make the flax seed that I put in there ...

I'm new too, so am interested in other's opinions...

Instead of a protein drink, why not try something like a thin slice of deli ham or something? If you have to do protein post workout, it'd seem like going to the source -- meat or eggs or something, would be better than something that has been ...

I think I actually do have a couple of long clamps like that. I'm an artist, so sometimes use those huge things to hold canvas bars in place as the glue dries...

I don't have a sledge hammer yet, but am thinking about shovel glove nevertheless. A few months ago we cleaned out my Granddad's workshop since he passed away back in 2007 and Granny finally went to a nursing home earlier this year...

Do you drink coffee, soda, or some other form of caffeine. There's always highs and lows with that stuff. I've been addicted to sugar free soda and coffee for years, but have finally started knocking it out of my life... and that has helped a low with having more energy.

It sounds weird, but I 'mummified' my wallet and stuck it inside of the camera bag I carry with me all of the time. Keep various electronic gizmos and gadgets in there -- yes it's a camera bag, not a 'man purse' ..Even has Nikon logo on it. The wrapping consists of handkerchiefs wrapped around it ...

I'd start with what the nutritionist advised.(40-55% carb.) 45-60% protein and fat leaves you with a lot of options. (I used 40-30-30 as a diet once and my meals resemble that a lot of the time now because I just like the mix. Doesn't take much to get to 30% fat but I think it makes the meals much ...

mastermesh

Aaah, that changes things. Are you not eligible to see a nutritionist who specializes in diabetes? Yes, I spoke with a dietician when I was first diagnosed... basics of what they said are essentially the same as no s, but with snacks... one place, 45-55 carbs, 1/3 or more of plate should be green ...

mastermesh

Actually, I'd recommend that you forget about carbs, protein and fat and think about food [/b].
Bingo.

A lot of foods will have fiber, protein, and carbohydrate in combination anyway (legumes anyone?). Focus on individual macronutrients, unless you have specific health requirements like diabetes ...

I'm basically using ONE workout tape in the morning, and ultimately want to do one at night too. I have the basic Power 90 tapes so am using those as the basis at the start.... so one workout would be about 20-40 minutes or so and focused on either cardio or body sculpting... I've found various ...

Several threads and blogs I've read indicate that it's good to eat protien at every meal because the carbs need it to make energy that gets burned, and otherwise the protien that the carbs need gets torn out of muscles, making you weaker. However, I guess my question/concern about this matter is ...

Those bodies in the media are not only rare, they're not "normal" and the people who have them are paid to have them. However, we look at them as if they are normal.

maybe try it again and keep a diet log... write down everything... if you feel 'stuffed' study the log to determine why... was there not enough protein before that feeling occurred? Was there too many carbs? Could it possibly be a minor allergic reaction that you are not even aware of?

typically long distance runners end up being on the skinnier side and sprinters on the more muscular side of things, at least in the legs. Same sort of goes for upper body... you work out more with aerobic exercise you will slim down since you are burning fat. Work out with weights, you gain muscle ...

The last couple of days after the week with no workouts were kinda wacky since it was very difficult to want to get up and workout, so I didn't... Also fell off of this No S thing majorly the last couple of days.

Plan on getting back to the strict diet and excercise really soon... Not sure if I ...

Love the site. Love the idea. Just came across it the last couple of days. Going to try this No S thing out. Also the shovel glove sounds like a neat idea. I probably won't start that shovel glove thing for a month or two though because I'm on another workout system at the moment. ( day 59 of the ...
