Definitely did not stress about what I ate and really enjoyed myself. Came back home, back on track this week and didn't even really stall any progress...love that! I'm down over 10LBs over these last couple of months and rather like not having a specific deadline for when I need to be in tip top shape. I start my firefighting training in September and it takes 14 months to become fully certified. So, that will give me ample time to get my weight down closer to 200 and my cardio up. Another 10 or 15LBs down and I am going to incorporate some swimming in to my weekly routine, just some kick board stuff because I suck at actually trying to swim. That rest for your central nervous system = more gains than if you had worked out that 9th week in a row. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm feeling it for sure. The strength I had on my first 2 lifts back this week felt great! Love feeling strong on a cut...until everything is depleted again haha.

riffraff Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 (edited) So I had a couple weeks off from running as a result of a hamstring pull. I couldn’t handle it so I got my bike tuned up and started riding. The idea was that with biking there would be less impact and require less explosiveness to run irregular and varying trails. it worked. I was able to ride relatively pain free at a good pace meanwhile hitting some muscle groups that running doesn’t hit. on Monday I went a bit crazy. The bike loop I have been doing is an 8km ride to the lake and 8km back. I normally run two loops of the lake for a total of 7.4kms. I couldn’t resist this time when I got off my bike. I hit the trail and ran one loop. Worse run run of my life. Hurt. Bad. I was dragging myself. 100m in I knew it was going to be all in my head to get through. And I did! very stoked. i rode home after and surprisingly the ride wasn’t too bad. My next goal is ride, run a loop, and one paddle loop around the lake island then ride home.

It's on 72 and King George. Went in to check it out today, I almost wept. Will gladly pay 3 times the price for 10 times the gym. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you go at the right times, you can avoid the gorillas. The turf field upstairs is great for plyo and sled stuff and box jumps. You also have access to the heavy bags in the boxing room if you're into that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I make one at home with ground up oats, flax seed, cocoa powder, a bit of honey, milk, ice, couple tablespoons of peanut butter, and protein powder. I’ll throw in some olive oil if I’m looking for more calories. With the mocha flavoured protein I have right now it tastes delicious.

I use the Vega vegan protein powder vanilla flavour. It contains all the good stuff you’re supposed to eat daily so all I add is pineapple juice, a banana and mixed frozen berries. No dairy. if I’m using a generic protein powder I stick with vanilla and add raw veg like carrots, kale or spinach, banana, frozen berries and pineapple juice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Banana you can add or subtract if you want more carbs and to change the flavour and using whole milk if you need more cals. If you’re just trying to get more calories start using more olive oil with salads and start snackin on some nuts. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riffraff Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Old guy pro tip just consider that what goes in your body now on a regular basis counts later in life. if you want to kick ass into your 30-60’s eat well. By well I mean, real food. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
