J Williams did me a world of good with the contest he started in July, and the monthly threads have gotten a lot of people involved who aren't even in the contest.
So how about a monthly WSS fitness skills thread? We can make our man faces at each other, puff out our chests a bit, and maybe even get some occasional good discussion abotu what is and isn't working for us.
The only disclaimer I need is that I think we need to keep it social and positive- we all know the dangers of running a marathon straight off the couch without a checkup, and malnutrition issues.
I'll post my stats as of today for a start:
196 pounds
37 inch gut
16.5 neck
for a rope and choke body fat measurement of
(if you wanna know, from my high point last year that's 9 inches off my gut and forty-odd pounds off)
and I've got one of those silly blog thingies since it will help keep me honest: http://koyoteconditioning.blogspot.com/
I do a lot with kettlebells and intervals. Knifemaking isn't, in reality, all that active a career, so working out multiple times a day is important for me.
I'm taking a temporary KB break- even though they simply rock for fat loss- to work on the foundation strength in a bodyweight program I'm working with. To keep it in line with expected life changes, I expect to pick up my kettlebell progressions on march 31st, possibyl a few days earlier.
The main area I am having trouble with still is my diet. I do okay with the IDEA of the fast and feast approach (eat very little in the day, a decent feastt ype meal at night, without overindulging)- but I have a problem with not stopping the eating phase when I should. So I'm going to try a hard limit of no food after 20:30.
