Target heart rate chk, yes or no?

i loved playing him because i almost always lost

it's the same with swordfighting; i want to spar with people better than me. it's the only way i get better, i figure

Well, I use my break time at work to walk laps around the parking lot (at least when it's tolerable to nice out, if there's 2 feet of snow I'm staying inside). And in theory I eat low carb meals, in practice it seems I eat low carb meals for a few days then decide I'm going to have dessert or pizza or some of whatever tasty treat bible study group has for snack. And after a few days of bad food I decide I need to eat properly again.

No, I don't workout or eat right. And let's just say....it's starting to show on my body as I get older. Might be overweight before long if I'm not careful.

I have two gym memberships, free weights, a treadmill, a mountain bike, a wetsuit, a bodyboard, swim fins, and two drumsets. And I barely use any of them

work and bike riding. other than that Im pretty lazy.

I don't eat right. I eat left. Whatsoever my hand findeth to eat, I eateth with all my might.

Actually I don't eat it with all my might. I think that might be my saving grace. I don't like being bloated-full. But I do eat what I want. ...

I also drink BEFORE meals, rather than WITH meals. Something my mommy taught me. It's much healthier, and after getting used to it, it feels much more natural than having all your lunch sloshing around in a belly full of water.

But with all that, the pounds did start creeping up on my the last few years. So last year I took up biking. My job is about 14 miles away so every day that is not freezing or pouring I bike there and back. It worked pretty well last year... then winter and holidays happened, so here I go biking again this year.

The five/two way of eating really works. You eat five days a week and two days a week you just have fruit or juice.
Lots of walking also helps. Pilates is also supposed to be beneficial. I have tried it but I found it too hard. Trying to master your breathing plus keep your core stable plus do the exercises is just way too hard.

Hahaha well you can always say, it is the thought that counts, lol. At least you want to, kinda, lol.

Well there was a time when I used them all a lot.

I never heard of the 5/2. I have a berries and yogurt for breakfast often. I'll look into it but I am not sure my body can process that much fructose on the 2 days.

Agreed. Our bodies react to sugar the same whether it's from a piece of fruit or a candy bar. It can't tell the difference.
Eating berries and yogurt is a great breakfast! Berries have fibre as well, and the yoghurt (especially if it's Greek) has lots of protein. I have this often for a snack at work.

Thanks Sis, ms. Tamlynn, that really helps me to know. Yes it is fage 2%. Is that good?

So just curious, do you all workout and eat right?


I am so out of shape, but started back at it last week. Lord...have mercy, lol. I am determined to be consistent, moderate and realistic with expectations, to be more concerned with health and well-being than the scale or inches.


It just has me wondering...do my Brothers and Sisters in Christ here on CC exercise and all that stuff?


So do you and if so, what do you like to do?


I have been playing racquetball, hiking and some weights, nothing radical. What is harder for you, eating healthy or exercise? I told my daughters that I can not stop for at least a month and then set another goal. You know, no getting onboard for a week, then just say...nahhhh, lol.

wonders do you ride to work...

I walk 30 minutes every weekday. If I miss a day I make up for it on the weekend. I love it! Sometimes I jog...but generally I walk quickly.
As far as diet goes I try to do keto when I can but I mess up a lot! lol I'm not suppose to have a lot of sugary foods. They're bad for me. I even get a rash on my neck if I eat too much of it.
