I go to the gym everyday. Granted it's in Pokemon Go. But, hey, it's a start.
... I can't wait to see/feel what I'm like by Comic-Con!
Remember everybody: if you want to get in legit shape you have to exercise AND have a good diet. I changed my diet awhile back and lost around 20 pounds just from the diet change. Since I started kickboxing before Christmas I've let my diet go (stupid holiday snacking/junk food/candy); I have to be more disciplined about what I eat, and to not eat too much junk after dinner. I don't know if one can affect awesome health change w/out diet AND exercise: one w/out the other will get you in a better place, no doubt, but not ultimate top health
ANY activity prior to con adds massively to the enjoyment of con. I've run the gambit- massively over weight & out of shape, so so shape, good shape & light- even being so-so with the physical condition sets a person up for a much better con!that was the premise for starting to talk abt geek fitness- anything and everything is better then nothing. and this isn't directed to perc2100 but being 60lbs heavier and not able to walk up a flight of stairs led to a miserable end of sdcc for me. On the other side, being 30 lbs lighter & in decent condition (able to walk a mile in 20 min's) led to sprinting across the street/down the block on Monday following con.
As an adult (30's-now, 41) I've never been way overweight, or felt I was in a bad place weight-wise or health wise. But I've never been in good shape either, except maybe when I was in college. I've never done anything like this; the only exercising I've ever done was walking, and I was walking 4.5/5 miles an hour when I was at my healthiest. I'm really excited to see where I'm at in 6 months! Of course, I reeeeeally need to do better at not eating junk food at night, and eating better meals. But hopefully that will all click sooner than later
It depends on if you want to loose weight- if you're happy where you are & can do everything you want to ( don't feel beat up on the monday after a big con) then there isn't any reason to limit your food- as long as you do get enough healthy stuff. The problem comes when a person wants to loose weight. Loosing is mostly done in the Kitchen- & while up'ing the metabolic rate helps it's not the key to weight loss.being fit certainly does help the cloths fit better and makes it easier to loose - on sunday we're starting the mysterbox challenge- it's a cooking excersize formulated to help us all be a bit more mindful of what we eat- more veg less fat etc. I'll be posting teh guide lines & food box items here on sunday If anyone wants to take part.there will be a list of items, folks are asked to pick 4 add their own pantry items or augment with others, and see what they come up with.it's a challenge in cooking creativity & naming , a prize will be given for the best name since we have folks from all over I'm hoping to get a variety of different meals from the same ingredients that I can cook myself. once the mysterbox is over, [member=5419]Aaron[/member] is going to be running a veggie challenge during Feb- We're trying to get folks a little more accustom to cooking with fresh produce - but not too wacky- like Kale is still a challenge for me- i'd like to cook with it more but i'm clueless- maybe if i had a way to use it... OH how about I push on aaron to do a veggie of the week that WE nominate /mine is an evil laugh/ He has to figure out how to cook it for us....
