Once you learn that lesson, it’s a very good thing. I have been slowly getting it through my head over the last month, between both actual food choices and portion sizes. I’m 53 and my body doesn’t react well to a lot of what it’s used to! Hardly any junk these days, and adjusting how much i eat at a time.
Did a one mile Leslie Sansone workout yesterday and have two miles planned this afternoon.
Edit - looks like FlyingSwan anon’d so we won’t see her on this thread anymore. 
Did 30 minutes stretching and some walking today.
JW do you ever cook fancy steaks as a cheat meal? like wagyu and such? Could be a nice reward to keep yourself from eating carbs. Could be cheaper than a restaurant too!
walked 30k 2 days ago, surprisingly my feet werent hurting.
Protein isn’t the problem with the keto it’s the chips and sundry which makes it hard to eat out.
Like I like to eat out. Might have a couple of beverages and a good time within reason but it’s just so cruel you order something that is keto like a caesar salad without the croutons and it’s like just rubbish.
Back to the grind. I’m nearly down to my goal weight so I’m not that stressed but it just annoys me that my food options eating out suck much these days but if this approach didn’t work I wouldn’t be doing it. Rant for the day!
Back to regular today. 20 k steps with a short jog part of that. Getting back on the bike so to speak after some weather so makes it hard to get out and about.
Did some bodyweight leg exercises too as working out on days versus off to fit my schedule. Had a chat to a friend yesterday who is a personal trainer so picked up some ideas about weights and rest. Good chat.
Haven’t been on the boards for a couple of days but doing great.Hitting 20k steps a day and doing weights. Working on longer weight sessions and going harder. Mind is good. Feel like some decent cognitive gains lately with all this exercise and diet.
I’ve been keeping up with the training. My chest seems to have finally recovered, I trained it a couple more times doing 3x8 and 4x8 push ups and unlike with the 3x10 I started off with it hasn’t acted up during recovery. I feel weak as a noodle but I guess that’s to be expected after half a year literally changing the way I stand up in order to not involve the pecs.
For the rest my barbell rows keep progressing nicely and my pullups which I stopped training during the pec injury have stalled despite the drop in bodyweight and the significant increase in rowing strength. I’m still not training legs because they don’t feel fully recovered but today I might do a little something, maybe some deadlifts, no promises as I have a busy day and need to get in my ab training today, which is the exercise that’s most mentally demanding for me. I’ve been incorporating going up and down stairs as a form of more intense cardio than just walking as well, which I’m still trying to do 1-2h a day, to try and move up to the next tier of cardiovascular fitness. I’ve been trying to do stairs roughly 150 minutes a week for now, divided in 3 days.
Overall I feel much healthier, compared to when I started, my body feels lighter and looks better. I’ve also finally hit 85 kg in my diet progress and I am excited about slowly shedding these last few pounds during winter. The current goal is to lose 1 kg a month going forwards, which is roughly half a pound per week, and to either go all the way down to 80 kg or stop somewhere along the way if I am perfectly satisfied with my body composition at any point before then. This summer if everything goes well I’ll have the best physique of my life, well I already do but hopefully I’ll be as proud of the end result by then that I am now about the progress. Good luck y’all and keep up the grind!
Yeah good work and it’s so worthwhile. I’m down to 85 kgs too from 109 at my worst so it’s really a journey and any exercise is worth it in the long run. Injuries suck. They really do but do the proper form and concentrate on that and you’ll do ok.
Sounds like your hitting some good progress which is good to see!
I walked a mile home from the dentist on Tuesday, and did an 18 minute walk today.
Not much, but better than nothing.
5,000 steps over lunch. Used my oxygen concentrator and it helped.
I had to take an extra rest day Yesterday because I was still too sore to justify training, so I only walked a couple hours and called it a day. The last three days my sleep has been worse as well which is leading me to feel less energy as systemic fatigue is piling up. We’ll see what the day will bring.
Been busy doing stuff and almost actually enjoying it! I know. It’s weird but I feel as though my negs have improved a little…
Meanwhile. Still doing over 20,000 steps a day with weights as well. Went for a bike ride this morning early and punched out 5 km. It was slow going as some good headwinds so hard work. Still. It was nice and cool for a change so glad I got it done…
Been gone 5 days peeps and see there’s no action here. Keep up that exercise peeps. It’s so good for you!
I have to start regular exercise but cold and windy weather is preventing me. I like jogging and cycling as preferred exercise. I have a resistance band for strength but have no motivation to use it. Sometimes I just go crazy with it for five mins but that is not enough or proper use
Regular is good. So many good bodyweight workouts you can do without the need for much equipment and you’ve got to start somewhere.
Most recent study indicates decent gains from exercise and it’s hard I know first hand with negatives and the meds but it’s worthwhile trying. One small step at a time but that isn’t a bad thing. I started years ago with a simple fitness tracker and a goal of 10k steps a day.
Ive been doing lots of toe touches at random throughout the day maybe 200 or 300. Thats all the bodyweight exercises ive been doing. Im kind of flabby but still skinny if you can understand that kind of weak out of shape condition with decent cardio
Have a look around on youtube. Good to keep it regular and if your getting sore muscles after it’s great but incorporate rest days in between. It’s worth the effort and most modern studies indicate improvements for mental illness for sure.
I might do gentle pilates regularly once I reach my desirable weight goal and once my hair removal treatment is done.
I feel so demotivated to do pilates at the moment due to these reasons.
Honestly excercise should not be stressing me out.
I do it when I want and that’s good
It really is a shame that the body has no automatic drive to exercise. Body is perfectly content to listlessly waste away under fat.
Yeah it shouldn’t. Might be other things in play for sure but it’s still worthwhile to keep it regular if possible. Realise the problems moving forward but good your getting some done.
