4/4 for me.

Sorry about the pulled muscle. Tell us about the fasting mimicking diet.

Missed a gym day so only 3 last week. I don't recall ever being that upset about missing the gym, so giving myself a pass on it. This. Time.

>Tell us about the fasting mimicking diet.

I tried the Prolon product. 5-days of food arrives in a box and you eat per instructions. 1100 calories on day 1, then ~800 calories per day. It was developed by Dr. Valter Longo at USC.

The convenience was nice, but the pre-packaged product is expensive. Once you have the nutritional info/plan you can replicate it inexpensively.

Physically: I was hungry, but less on days 4-5. Felt good enough to skip a couple of the soups. Hiked 4 miles on the 4th day and felt great.

Mentally: This part really wowed me. Better mood, better concentration. Calm.

Interesting

But, yes, pricey

I've been reading up a bit lately on fasting and have been thinking of adding it into my... habits? Lifestyle?

3 x gym last week. Had a crazy week with due diligence period on the new house finishing up and I ended up bailing on volleyball. Decent-ish excuse I guess.

Just back from three weeks with at my dad's - managed 1 run, 1 XC ski day, 8 downhill ski days and managed *not* to have ice cream every day.

I borrowed my sister's FitBit for a day to see what it was like. It said I did something like 13,000 steps on the cross-country ski day, and that was a fairly short and slow tour with family. I'm thinking of getting one, not for measuring the 13,000-step days but for measuring the zero step days!

That's a lot of activity, ergophobe.

3/3 weight lifting last week.

Drastic · February 19, 2018, 05:28:26 PM

I've been looking at fitness trackers and plan to pull the trigger soon.

I really like the hybrid vivomove HR which is currently out of stock everywhere.

4/4 here

I'm looking to replace my Garmin Forerunner 210 (running watch with GPS) as the bezel is so cracked and scratched it's hard to read. Garmin has a model (I forget which) that appears to do everything my run watch does, plus things like count steps.

4/4 again

Rupert · February 27, 2018, 02:27:48 PM

Just dared myself to drop in on this thread, after several days of flu, and several weeks of perhaps a run a week.

Go folks, well done all. sounds like some serious fitness happening. Things will change here. Just not today!

Drastic · February 27, 2018, 03:23:36 PM

Just 3 last week, all gym. Volleyball matches were on my bday so I excused myself. I think I am running out of legit excuses though.

ergophobe · February 27, 2018, 04:49:09 PM

Just 3 last week too - a run, a run/bike and a scramble/hike

The run/bike was with a group of GoPro "influencers"who were not very fit and complained a lot, but I got my exercise going back and forth like a sheep dog. I did at one point get a little impatient and said "I did this route with my neighbor who is 67, has an artificial heart valve and a pacemaker and he didn't complain about how hard it was." I love "influencers"

Just did 3/4 this week. I think I am coming down with shingles, which apparently makes me contagious for chickenpox. I may have to do some home body weight exercise for a while as it looks like I can transmit from 4 to 7 weeks.
