Back at the gym now, stopped due to Christmas hols and illness, but thankfully I'm able to do the program at the level I left off. Actually increased my resistance stuff this week too. Down to 80kg and still 33" waist, still plenty of belly and moob fat to shift but I'm getting there. |

We have at least one takeaway most weeks. Need to get out of the habit of this too - especially since they're often cold or disappointing in other ways. Need to get better at keeping quick foods in the house that I can just throw on a plate when I'm feeling lazy, rather than outsourcing it and paying for the privilege. |

Do you have limits on what you can do at the gym? Like, the doctor has said so? Yeah, not by the Dr though, by the team of nurses / physios I saw in my recovery stage. I had to complete a 12 week exercise course twice, once after my heart attack and stent and then repeat it again after my surgery. After this I was referred by my Dr to the physiological team at the council run gym(s) who gave me a suitable program. There's things I was told to avoid like lifting above my head and press ups, anything that involves exertion and holding my breath too long. I've gradually increased the time on the cardio equipment and increased weights on the resistance machines* every time I think I can manage it but I know to take it steady. *Poor Warbot |

Ta Kov, I'm surprised by how much I enjoy it (thought it would feel far much of a chore). But the combination of getting a sweat on while watching Car SOS and listening to Techno is a sweet, sweet combo.

Down 3lbs in 4 days. I know that's "big poo" and/or "water loss" territory but really nothing has changed (eating the same stuff) - apart from the fact I haven't had a drink (alcohol) all week. Got a wine tasting with girlfriends tomorrow even though, so could end up undoing everything I've done well this week.

I've been eating and drinking less by association, so I'm down half a stone since Christmas. Just need to lose another stone and I'd be really happy. |

That's why you're not supposed to weigh yourself too often, isn't it... poos, fluid retention etc - your day to day weight fluctuates too much for it to be significant. Or that's what I thought? (Says she who's been doing it daily...) |

Some sort of moving average would seem to be the correct method here - smooth out those gorge / poop spikes. |

You say that but what if you're eating at the same time, smart arses? |
|
| Author: | Squirt [ Wed Feb 08, 2017 15:44 ] |
| Post subject: | Re: Middle Age Spread |
Yep, Smart Arses would be the obvious answer. They would monitor your pooping patterns and quantities and connect with your bathroom scales and fitness app, to provide a complete monitoring solution. |
