Blogging for Democracy

So, as you may or may not know, I'm going into the Air Force. Before I can sign up, I have to lose some weight. I've already lost a fair amount, but I need to shed another ten pounds or so. To help keep me on track, I've made a blog. I'll be posting my progress, along with random ramblings that occur to me. I'm not sure if any of you would be interested, but if you could take a look, I'd be grateful.

I don't know if you want any tips or not, you probably know everything already, but lifting wieghts is really good for burning fat. You don't have to go mad with it, just enough to make a few muscles hurt so they need repairing and making stronger, which is how they get bigger. Because muscles are being repaired in between workouts you're always burning energy, even when you're asleep and not using them.

Any advice is helpful. If it's redundant, well, I'd rather have redundancy than miss something that could help me.

I am doing a certain amount of weights. As Katcal said, though, I have to be careful not to overdo it, or I'll start to bulk up, and that'll slow my weight loss down. The solution, from what I've been told, is to use less weight, but more reps.

I'll give rowing machines a try, Scrubbo.

And thanks, guys.

eat constantly, but eat very small portions. graze throughout the day. an apple here, an orange there. try to get saturated fats as close to zero as possible. eat seafood (while you still can!) and shellfish. try to cut sugar out of your diet as much as possible. avoid soft drinks like the plague. the only carbs you should be taking in are complex ones, or carbs associated with solluble fibre, such as rice, oats, and other easily digested grains.

avoid the television completely (except for manditory viewing such as simpsons) and whenever you're not ACTUALLY exercising, *think* about exercise. mentally visualize running. tense and relax your legs in the right rhythm as you do.

lastly, find a non-threatening gay guy to partner up with for a Dance Dance Revolution tourney. I'd suggest McLaren, but I hear he actually can't dance worth shit.

You said You likely my policeman outfit- that it really showed off my figure*

*cries*


Here is Rinso's advice to a waif like figure. This should not be taken under any advice. Be very, very ,very lazy. Cooking requires a vast amount of effort, YOUR EFFORT. The time you could be spent chasing dogs around is wasted cooking food. Instead of making a meal I suggest having a biscuit and watching Murder She Wrote, you've probably only seen the ep once before. In fact, don't you find chewing massively boring. Why not just drink a load of water and lick some dust, what it lacks in nutritional value it makes up for in time efficiency.




* This is my figure: |

Stop eating at 19.oo in the evening. Newer research says it is untrue that we burn slower at night, and that taking in your big meal of the day in the evening, is alright. If it fits better into your schedule, it is in every case better eating at leisure time at night than hectically gulping something down during the day because someone told you eating at night makes fatter...
But many people unconsciously take in a lot of calories in the evening, when taking just a little snack on the couch or in front of the pc after a long day... and stopping that altogether reduces their daily intake a lot more than many are aware.

If you eat your main meal in the evening, take care you don't starve yourself during the day, because you will fall ino making up for it in the evening.

Do your walking or running in the morning, if possible. After a good run, your body temperature remains slightly higher, and your metabolism works better. You profit more of that during the day than during the night. Also, many people don't sleep too well after a hard workout, because they actually just got their engines running, in a way.

Coffe gives most people a bigger appettite for sweets than tea.

Tip: Raw vegetables are a better inbetween snack than raw fruits, if the last few metres towards your goal make you count the calories. A nice snack: Veggie of your choice, cut or sliced, and as a dip a yoghurt free of or poor of fat, and a spoon of soy soce and another tea spoon of peanut butter stirred into it. The veggies and dip are also easy to transport in a nice little lunch box...
