Thread: The Official Dreamviews Fit Club

Here's what I did for the weekend:

I went with a few friends to this running track and exercise grounds (dunno how to call it). I ran about 1,25km and did lots of pull-ups, dips and we tried some other things we saw on youtube but it didn't work. Then tomorrow I went out to play basketball and football for 2,5h and then I was sick and exausted for the entire day, but it was worth it.

Yesterday ran 6 miles, felt crappy though, but my knee felt 100%

Are you foreseeing your future or did you mean "today"

What a run Ninja!! Glad to hear your knees endured!

Yesterday I visited my son at the Facility and on the way I picked up Mc's Sausage, egg and cheese McGriddle with a hashbrown and large coke. I ate the hashbrown then the top "pancake" and egg but had no appetite. I drank a HORRIBLY NASTY NOZ (?) energy drink that I nearly puked right back up it was so foul.
About an hour into the drive, I tried to eat the bottom pancake with the sausage and cheese but it turned my stomach.
The visit went well but on the way home I was in horrible pain from unpassing gas. I forced myself to eat a Cheese Stick and some of the pain subsided a bit, but the rest persisted until the Gas-X kicked in around 3AM
Then I had a Blueberry Special K breakfast bar and a can of coke.

Today, the gas pain has returned. (I never went to bed, so it actually returned just a couple hours after subsiding).
I didn't feel like eating at all, but picked up 3 Hot Cakes with a hashbrown and large Coke on my way back to see my son again today.
The pancakes weren't dry at all, but even the smallest bites seemed to get stuck in my lower throat and caused great discomfort. I forced them down but couldn't even think of eating the rest. About an hour into the drive I ate the sausage. I only drank half of the Coke.
On my way home I bought some plain Lays Potato Chips to settle my stomach but I simply don't want to eat them.

I've not slept for two days and I realize that's part of my problem, I did a lot of heavy lifting and moving yesterday but today I'm not even going to think of moving off my couch again except to get water. My urine is so orange it's almost brown. I'm severely dehydrated. But I'm also severely depressed because my son was sent to another Shelter for up to 45 days until they can move him to a level 2 Mental Facility (he was at a level 3 place and level 2 is progress, more fun, more freedom etc), but he did not handle it well at all.
He was screaming at the pdoc and DHHR woman so loudly that security ended up coming in to check on us.
Everything was okay (he wasn't violent just ENRAGED and very vocal about it).

So, in my sleep deprived, depressed state, I could care less that I'm dehydrated. I'm so depressed I'm almost apathetic.
I forgot I had my own pdoc app. this afternoon and I missed it... but I rescheduled for Thursday and I'll probably sleep until then
But between 400 mg Provigil yesterday and 400-600 mg over the course of today, I don't want to sleep.
I just want to vegetate, so I'll play video games until exhaustion and repetition knock me out.

Good job, everyone.

I had a good day exercising yesterday 4 hours of kayaking (and at least 30 minutes of that was straight into the wind) and 30 minutes of hiking and 30 minutes taking a nap in the sunshine .

Awesome picture! Glad to hear you had a great time

Well, I meant saturday.

Well, I could have done a bit better this last week (too much desert ) but I still managed to lose another 1.2 pounds, so I'm down to 220.8. Gah! So close to my 10% goal. I'll make it this week, though. No more brownies, apple pie, ice cream, peach cobbler, chocolate cake, and so on and so forth.

But yes, they were all tasty!

WTG!!

I've managed to make it down to 125 but I attribute the weight to sickness and barely eating anything because I've NOT been keeping up with any sort of exercise routine lately.
And, Cold, you'll be happy to learn that I have lost my love for fries. I woke up hungry this morning (more than usual) and I could tell my glucose was low, so I went to Wendy's. I bought a Baconattor with a large Fry and a large Coke. When I got home to eat it, I had about 4 fries and gave the rest to my dog because I couldn't stand the taste of them at all. I only managed to eat little half of the burger, but I drank almost all of the soda.

I've slept most of the day, despite having taken a Provigil... in part because of my weekend exhaustion, in part because of my period, in part because I have another stinking sinus and ear infection!!! *GRRRRR* My snot is green and my ears are constantly "gurgling". So, I need to google the infections to see what the best antibiotic is to treat them and have hubby write me a prescription. His Amoxacillin simply isn't cutting it. (No lectures about going to the Doctor, please lol- I hate going to a Doctor for something I KNOW I have.)

Tomorrow I visit my pdoc and my hubby is off work and has nothing planned so I'll probably spend the night with him and take a proper bath. He is so cute. I told him that out of desperation, I took a shower in the rain the other evening (because I thought it funny as heck because such behavior is NOT like me at all) and now he's guilt-ridden and has been berating himself for not fixing the plumbing in the RV or seeing if the modular has a leak.

He's a very paranoid person and even I am locked out of his house except for times I stay with him or he's home and expecting me to be around (to do laundry and such). Our water bill indicated we had a water leak (before the problems with the RV) and I thought I heard water leaking under the modular. But it was night time, snowing and hard to see, so he just shut off the water to the place.

I have a feeling if the weather isn't horrendous, we'll be fixing plumbing tomorrow

I am happy to hear you've lost your love of fries. I'll be even happier when I hear you've lost your love for Coke, too. One step at a time.

hahaa... Miracles CAN happen. But I wouldn't hold my breath on that one lol
I DO think a tolerance for water can be achieved however

Sorry guys, I haven't been posting lately. I've been going through some difficult times which I'd rather not talk about. Food is a stress reliever for me, as unhealthy as it is, but I am ready to start eating healthy again.

So, without further ado, here's my report for the day:

Exercises done today: Took a long walk in the woods
Areas of body worked today: legs
Current weight: N/A - Haven't weighed myself in awhile
Foods and Drinks consumed today: half of a 12 oz. cup of coffee, a tuna and swiss wrap, a scoop of cannoli icecream, some doritos, about two spoonfuls of chocolate frosting, 4 strawberries, 2 celery stalks, a sandwich with 1 slice of 12 grain bread, two slices of salami, a slice of American cheese, and mayonnaise

Walked 15 miles today, didn't do much else I'm getting lazy.

Name: Darien
Current buddy : None
Want a buddy?: Sure
Cheat Day : Idk it varies but probably Thursdays for the next two months so I can go to the Square and have my alcohol.
Physical Goals: Weigh 200lbs. However that's a very long term goal, so a more short tern is to lose a total of 50 pounds before January 1, 2010
Days you'll exercise: Every
Cardio Routine: 3-4 times a week, 50 minutes of high intensity cardio - intervals, hills and regular.
Weight Routine: This right here, 2-3 days a week
Current weight: 474
Why are you joining? See above. I've been doing my own weight loss program for the past 8 weeks and have lost 18 pounds so far, and for some reason I've been wary about joining this thread, I'm not really sure why. But anyway I'm here now.
I've been journaling my daily intake on www.fitday.com, I highly recommend it. It really helps you see just how fucked up your diet can be. Personally I don't eat much at all, ever, and the reasons for my abnormal weight is a mystery to even my doctors. Before these past two months I'd literally NEVER lost a pound in my life, no matter how hard I tried. But that's changed and the rest of my life is looking up.

The key to losing weight isn't about eating less or little, it's about eating through out the day, roughly a handful of food (apple, banana, orange, nuts & berries) every 2 to 3 hours. This prevents your body from going into starvation mode which makes your body store more calories which makes you gain weight.

Of course eating 2-3 hours can be a hard task, it also costs a lot more money to eat healthy than it does to eat frozen packaged foods. If you can't eat every 2-3 hours, try having a breakfast that will give you a quick boost while giving you long term energy. Packaged oatmeal is great because it has a bit of sugar in it, and the actual oatmeal stay's in your stomach for a few hours. Your lunch should be the biggest meal of the day, and dinner should be slightly less than lunch.

Also remember the basics, grains, vegetables and protein. Grains should be the largest portion of your diet, vegetables and protein should take up roughly the same percentage of your meal.

A very important part is cutting the sodium and excess sugar out of your diet.

You could already know all this, but I'm just throwing it out there for everyone benefit.

To give an update of my situation:

I've been stretching and doing tai chi pretty much everyday, sometimes twice. My flexibility is improving, but I find my hamstrings and groin area are the most painful to stretch. I think it's a ligament on the inside of my thigh, it's pretty painful for me to stretch there, seems like I can't loosen it up. I've stopped running though, I'm hoping to pick up a YMCA membership soon and get back into swimming and weight lifting. Although I'll probably take it easy with the weights because I don't feel the need to bulk up, plus my day job is very physical.

I should take a bit of my own advice, my diet hasn't been the greatest lately, but I haven't gained any weight yet fortunately.
