Otis fad diet thread — yoga, fasting, and kevzilla walking on🚶‍♂️ (4 Viewers)

O minutes today.  Got a stomach bug last night and did nothing today.  Even took the day off of work.   At least I have only had a little bit of food today.   Hopefully tomorrow I can at least take a walk.

I'll just deal with a sprinkle, but no, I'm not powerwalking in the rain, because that looks insane.

I'm pretty sure all powerwalkers inherently look insane, so don't let the rain get in the way.

PS....Is your name Karen, and do you wear a fanny pack?

50 minutes of walking today. My back tried to talk me out of it, but I managed my regular midday walk. There will be no evening walk, I barely made it to the mailbox and back.

We're expecting rain, and I haven't had a day off since 3/15. Kinda rooting for bad weather.  :lmao:

Don't listen to Otis. Your body is asking for an off day. Listen to it.

Ok, feel like I am losing progress here. I lost 30 lbs and then Covid pandemic hit the world. I have tried to continue to eat well but definitely not keeping track or doing as well. Also I moved to our beach house to escape NYC proper so left peloton bike behind, which I had used to get in best fitness shape in decades.  I have tried running but I can’t do it as it is tough on joints and my already bad back and more then two runs a week and I am limping around the house.  Did a run this morning and to be honest I was gassed after about two thirds of a run I had been able to complete when I first got here.  Very depressing.

One bright side is I don’t have a scale at beach house so don’t know what the damage has been. This place has always been an escape for me where I don’t worry about stuff like my weight but guess that needs to change.

Buy a real bike?

 
Since I have been running like a maniac but not losing weight I tracked my food yesterday. I had thought I was doing decent with just a few snacks during the day, boy was I wrong. 
 

I am allowed 35 points on WW and I had 50!  A little cheese here, a piece of chocolate there, a spoon of guacamole, beef instead of chicken, etc.   1 or 2 bad choices may be tolerable but 5 or 6 is sabotaging my plan. 
 

I suggest anyone at a plateau to write down everything and you will see why. 

 
50 Min Walk this Morning

50 Min Walk this afternoon

5 Miles, 11,000+ steps,

Thru 4/8- 795 Minutes, hoping to hop on the bikes tonight for a while to see the moon again, it was amazing last night and also this morning even as the sun was rising you could still see this amazing moon along my walk. 

I'm hearing France is banning outdoor exercise...I truly hope that doesn't happen here in the States. That's all I'm gonna say.

Banning outdoor exercise would be a colossal mistake IMO

That's ok though. I know this is for people in better shape so I got some workout in also went outside with my kid for a bit

I was sore in my neck and shoulders after my second day of this yoga program.  Better now, but must have been working some muscles I hadn't used in a while!

My oldest daughter’s birthday.  I rowed a 10k this morning so that’s good. And ate healthy and light all day. Until the Italian feast and red wine and birthday cake. Oh yeah. And I don’t regret a moment of it. 
 

lean eating tomorrow.

Today was a struggle.  Just wasn't feeling it but forced myself to do 30 minutes on the recumbent bike.  Pace was slower than my normal slow pace.  LOL  Still I'm +112 minutes for the month (based upon 34min/day to get to 1020 for the month). I'm on a good roll 12 days in a row and 17 or 18 days with at least 30 minutes of dedicated exercise.

You're doing great.  If your body is saying no, then listen to your body (hi @MAC_32), but if it's your mind, it is fantastic of you to push through it.  When I'm not feeling it mentally, I remind myself that I have never once regretted getting a workout in.  I used to say this to get myself out hiking, because sometimes those early a.m. wakeups just were not making me happy, but I've never regretted going on a hike.  Since I can't hike right now, I've applied the same mindset to working out and found it's the same, like this morning when I was definitely not feeling the yoga - but I'm always happy I did it!

Averaged 8,000 steps/day in 2019 (got a desk job 👎, so hard to get in good steps during the day).  Set a goal of 10k steps per day in 2020.  Have averaged 11k so far 💪

Still going strong averaging 11k steps per day.  Strangely the CV has helped b/c I can get outside and take walks during the day when I'm on calls.  Miss those 18k step days of playing basketball though.

Dang, nice job. 

What is the Tecumseh Challenge?

 
Mrs and I took the bikes down to a little bridge in our neighborhood, boats pass under and it's kinda romantic. 

We watched the moon rise tonight and it was red/orange like last night, bright and just a treat to watch from where we were perched. Did feel the legs getting tired as we looped around the golf course on the way back. 

60 Minutes of actual riding. 855 total for April.

100 consecutive days of at least 20 minutes of intentional activity- walking, swimming, running, basketball, whatever you wish. It just has to be something above and beyond your normal routine. Krista tweaked it to her needs, and was actually doing an hour per day. Also, I was paying myself $10 per day, so at the end of 100 days I would have $1000 that I could blow on whatever I wanted to. Krista bought a house for each day. So, you know, small tweaks.

Okay, I'm in. I'm on Day 16 of at least an hour a day of bipedal locomotion (more walking than running so far, but I'm starting to get into slow jogging).

 
45 minutes on the treadmill. Was going to be more but i cooked my kid dinner and tried a couple of his fries.  Still i feel great, legs feel better after a couple lighter days in a row, and i did a little speed work plus a couple miles of running in the 6s. Happy enough.
