Weight Loss - Tips & Daily Check-in

Re: Weight Loss - Tips & Daily Check-in

Needless to say, I left the house with that stuck in my head an no music to run to.

Lol i friggin hate it when that happens.

I keep flicking through the radio stations and hear that pathetic "shorties like a melody in my head, like an ipod stuck on replay" song and while i hate the song with a passion it gets into my brain and i can't get it out.

Jonesy - I'd love to help you but I'm terrible at those things. That's why i think i just like to do cardio because I overthink the hell out of what you're asking and it's too mentally exhausting. I like just getting on the elliptical or bike for 45 minutes and GOING.

Here is my main song I'm using a lot each day for my workout. This really gets me going for both weights and cardio!

Man I want to do something different with lifting...

Gonna hop on the bandwagon tomorrow & start P90x

Re: Weight Loss - Tips &amp; Daily Check-in

I've got a few go-to songs that I always have to hear 2-3 times when I work out...


-Instrumental by Nightwish

-Take Off by Yung LA and Young Dro

-the Alabama fight song

-Roll Tide(theme to Crimson Tide) by James Fitzpatrick



If you're not a Bama fan, check out the 1st song. Even if you've done the reps you want to do, it'll make you want to keep lifting til the song is over.

Re: Weight Loss - Tips &amp; Daily Check-in

Guys, thanks for the advice, but I'm going to work out my way. I went the first time with an iPod and I'm MUCH happier doing it with the Simpsons. I'm not looking to put on a lot of muscle with a ton of heavy lifting, I just want to be skinny... plus I need to build endurance since I've never really had any.

You can also use the bands to replace a pull-up bar.

That's what I had to do in the new apartment.

Anyone else into making their own smoothies?

All you need is a blender, fruit, and ice.

One of my favorites to make:

Banana
Ice
Milk
Peanut Butter
Oatmeal

Re: Weight Loss - Tips &amp; Daily Check-in

I had a nice, although a little high calorie, breakfast:

Whole Wheat Wrap (80)
Turkey Sausage, split into 2 (150)
1 brown egg (70)
1 slice provolone cheese (60)
Salsa (10)
dash of Miracle Whip Light (30)
dash of Ketchup (20)
TOTAL CALORIES: 420

I probably could have gone with the lowfat cheese and saved 15 calories but I was in a terrific rush out the door. I cooked the sausage then split the egg over it and gently poked the yolk so it was over easy tasting. Delicious and filling but like I said, a little higher on the calories than I would have liked. At least it's a nice change from cereal and/or fruit every day though and this is loaded with protein.

What goes into a smoothie? That may be a dumb question but I'd like to make some. I can buy those frozen bags of berries and use those correct?

Lost almost 4 lbs yesterday. I walked 27 holes of golf. I should just do that everyday instead of going to the gym. Wish I could

I tried the whole turkey sausage thing last week for the first time and almost threw up. I love regular sausage *waits for jokes* too much.

Would skim milk work instead of soy milk? Thanks for the link. That looks really good minus the banana.
