Shape-Up 2009 general discussion

Went on a work nite do tonite at an eat as much as you can buffet - this could have put a massive spanner in the works.  However, managed to find lots of clean rice, lots of sushi and lean cutlets of steak (bloody as hell mmm, mmm , mmmmmmm), several times and followd it up with lots of jelly, and sweets (they had a sweet counter with soft sweets like harbio you could load up on).

All in all, lots of healthy clean carbs and very little fats.  Well pleased.  Went to Cosmo in Bristol, for anyone who knows the area.

<<<<<  Recognise any food on my plate?   heehee

Think I've been 4 times in the last month?   om nom nom

Could be a spanner in the works. Turned my ankle on Thursday playing football and I think I have done something more sinister. I have pins and plates in my ankle (due to football) and I think something is up. Going to get to the A&E if it continues to play up.

See how it goes.

Oh noes, hope you haven't done anything serious??  Keep us informed.

Cheers Fi, it is my own fault, I shouldn't play football but I love it. Stubborn when it comes to playing football ha ha, think I will be playing when I am 80 ha ha

It seems as if football is becoming your achilles heel. You drink when you watch it and get injured when you play it!
 
Joking aside, football is notorious for injuries. Firstly you have blokes running around in inadequate trainers(skimpy badly fitting boots if grass), performing nasty twists and turns. Really knackers the old knees (more than running), played as amateurs/pub league stylee you have 10 blokes, half unfit or don't play any other sport - ducking, diving and slamming into each other becauset they couldn't care less/don't have the training.
 
Well, that's what I was told by a boyfriend who when he turned to serious fitness/running refused to play 5-a-side again.
 
My own dad retired gracefull at aroun 30is after getting kicked in the shin very badly.
 
Honestly, it's not good for you and perhaps you need to decide footy or shape-up/weight training.
 
So that's my view on football (don't get me started on the Pro's!).
 
I'll get me coat.
 
 

Know what your saying gingernut i play 5 a side on a Monday night and last week i got a right wack on the inside of my shin, didn't half hurt the next time i got on the treadmill

Finding recovery hard on my legs - if I tense them I get a ache that sticks in my quads and fades over a period of about 10 seconds.  Guess 100 mins of cardio a day and then heavy leg work smack the sh1t out of them!

Personally I think CL is making excuses juts like last time

Feck off! I am still going to give it a go and will be posting pictures regardless.
 
Just going to mix the diet up a bit I think and see if that can help.
 
Trying the cross trainer later on anyway

CL is very good at being vague. I would suspect consistent training, avoiding injurous past-times and the odd beer would help him along his way somewhat. Football will always be there waiting after the 12 weeks.

I'm working on a Dislocated Knee and bad back and wrists as well as forearm pain, you dont hear me complaining!!!!!

I like complaining. It is all motivation to me

20 mins shadow boxing, start jumps, press ups, chasing the cat around the garden, 40 mins cross trainer steady state with 1o mins interval at the end.

Fooking loving it. BRING IT ON

Chasing the cat around the garden ? LOL !! I'll have to try that

Stick with it dude, we're going to see some after pics this time

You would be surprised how tiring this can be.

I once went round with a bamboo pole with my then cat and spent a good hour watching her chase the stick as i ran with it behind it and dotted it about the garden.
