fat ralphy Posted November 27, 2021 Author Share Posted November 27, 2021 @nicklesndimes diet is where I am falling off which is not cool for my age bracket. Honestly pretty much the only vice I have is my diet…..but I want to get to the point that I can possibly be in. In the last 1.5 years I have had two homies die and my cousin stroked out (he is recovering but is fucked up) - I am in the mentality of this life is a gift that can disappear at anytime so might as well get after it while we can. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fat ralphy Posted November 30, 2021 Author Share Posted November 30, 2021 Banged out 30 on the bike yesterday and just did an hour plus of BJJ. Finally making a doctors appointment about this shoulder injury, need to get back to 100% and I suspect my weight routine and BJJ is keeping it injured.

nicklesndimes Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 haven't skipped a workout day in going on 3 weeks. cold out, so can't do much outside, but when the ground is frozen i think i'll try doing outdoor hikes and stuff too to keep it moving. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fat ralphy Posted December 5, 2021 Author Share Posted December 5, 2021 The streak has continued - I will say that I have finally started to feel better and I have noticed my portion size has decreased and food choice improved. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mn1_fuckos Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 @metronomeis that the strava app and how are you keeping track of the indoor exercise on the elliptical? my ass finally got back to the gym this week its been a shit year but we are back in business Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metronome Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 @mn1_fuckos it is indeed Strava mobile app. I pay for their premium because I use it quite a bit for cycling. I have a wahoo tickr heart rate monitor paired up here giving the feedback. There’s an option for picking different types of activities & I’m pretty sure the free version offers that.

mn1_fuckos Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 @metronomeI am currently using the free app but I only use treadmill or the elliptical so I just manually log all my activity. Id like a better way to track myself i might have to try the route your taking with the heart rate monitor as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metronome Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 Is your app up to date? I had to update my iOS and then the strava app itself a little while ago to be able to track elliptical work outs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicklesndimes Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 was thinking of upping the ante and trying out going to the gym again, the YMCA in this case. i usually work out at home and when spring hits i hands down prefer jogging/biking outside over the machines in the gym. but i just feel like it would be a good thing to prevent myself from getting too sedentary over the winter months, plus could give me an excellent head start for when the weather breaks. hitting the weights, cardio machines, even hitting the steam room multiple times weekly. could be a healthy choice. another positive of this is that my insurance covers a gym membership at a variety of the local gyms and the chains, too. this is due to my anxiety & depression diagnoses. hard not to explore this idea in that case, be better to just start soon rather than to try and force myself by making it my new years resolution. only thing holding me back is worrying about the covid restrictions, that'd be annoying to try and exercise in a mask.

fat ralphy Posted December 12, 2021 Author Share Posted December 12, 2021 @nicklesndimes sounds like a solid idea, the mask aint that bad. I do 30 mins of stair climber on the regular wearing one. That said the Under Armor mask I have is pretty good - its thick but it stays off the nose/mouth well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metronome Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 (edited) Here’s my week. This is pretty much all cardio with a little bit of rowing machine. Building that fitness back up. It’s no fair how easy it is to lose it. Edited December 13, 2021 by metronome 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fat ralphy Posted December 17, 2021 Author Share Posted December 17, 2021 Cardio streak stands - definitely helping physically and mentally. Get after it fellas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fat ralphy Posted December 23, 2021 Author Share Posted December 23, 2021 The streak continues - Chick I am talking to does a Whole 30 to start each year, so I agreed to do it with her. That will probably make a huge difference for me. I intend to continue my cardio streak during the Whole 30. Lifted/cardio today and there were some fly broads at the gym. Keep it up fellas.

morton Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 Diet looks like a farce, no legumes, no grain, no thank you. I have reached a level of fitness where I can actually attempt to swim fast on the fast sets instead of just struggling to keep up all the time. I appreciate the group nature of the workouts, at the top of the benefits is that I do not need to think, just show up and do what everyone else is doing to the best of my ability. I do not miss trying to develop a workout. I want to add one day of long distance walking and one bodyweight set to my week, that will unfortunately require some development. Happy Holidays everyone! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morton Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 New Years is coming folks, anybody have goals to share or reflections on the past year? My goal last year was to get fitness back in my life after a lull caused in no small part by moving and taking a new job. In July I started to swim with a club and added the goal of being able to complete a workout on the assigned send-offs 100%, I am still working toward that goal five months in and am totally okay with that. My health and fitness goals for the next year are to continue doing what I am doing with the swimming, throw in one long walk a week on Sundays, cook more and resolve my sleep health issues. I think they are attainable goals but know I will need to work toward each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starting today. Fucking did it guys / thanks for the support. Update - doing a Whole30 diet for the month of January due to a hot nurse who has some persuasive ability. Will continue my cardio through the month and see where I end up…… Today’s weight was 267lbs - im in pretty good shape right now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
