Two weeks of walking everywhere I needed to go. No cabs, no buses, no subways. 30-40min each way, of brisk walking to work and back, 5 days a week.
Schlepping heavy bags of groceries home several times a week. (Not taking advantage of free deliveries as I did before.)
Stairs, instead of escalators.
Had to allow more time in general but at least I knew how long it took to get anywhere. No uncertainty of being stuck in traffic or underground. Saved money. Felt better. Looked like a fool holding grocery bags straight out in front or to the sides in an attempt to do some weightlifting exercises while walking.
The plan is to make a habit out of all this and see if I can get away with not having a gym membership but reap all the benefits.
Well done B. I went for my first walk in two months yesterday. It was only 1.5 miles, and on side walks, but felt good to be able to move around again. I'm looking forward to getting back to the woods, marshes and beaches
The wife and I did that walking thing this morning, too. It was 9 F and the wind was a little brisk but it was a nice morning.
The best part of any strenuous activity (at least for me) is the feeling of self control and accomplishment once it's over. The opposite is also true. I don't enjoy being there.
This song belongs here. It's so true...

I took my Sunday walk/hike. Did 4.5 miles, mostly on sand.
Today it was 8 months nine days since I stopped smoking. I'm still fat though.
Congrats Winnie. Quitting smoking is tough. You done good.
Ran 15.97 miles this week. I take the weekends off though.
Congrats, Winnie. One hill at a time. (me, too, by the way).
1stimestar - First, congratulations!! Second, there had better be a bear after me if anyone expects me to run that far.
That's AWESOME, Winnie!!! I remember like it was yesterday when you came on and said you were quitting.
As for fat, you can tackle that when you're ready, just like smoking. Now you know you can do pretty much anything if you set your mind to it--one day at a time.
Or a bake sale in front of you.Quote:

Powdered butter? They make powdered butter? I've never heard of it. I had to google it. Well I'll be darned. Who'd a thunk it?
I've got canned butter from MREDepot but I didn't know they made it in powdered for, too. Cool
Is it anything like Butter Buds? If so, I use it quite a bit and it works well. http://www.bbuds.com/
Revamped our pantry diet and got my eyes examined.

Good stuff power butter. I cann my own real butter easy to do, and it last for years if kelp in dry cool place.
Better than butter buds! It's use the same way. I buy it in the 2 lb. tin 1/2 cup plus 1/2 tablespoon, is equivalent to a 1/2 cup store bought butter... you can not rehydrate...Quote:

Oh, I thought you misspelled it. It really is Power Butter. I hadn't heard of that either.
Ok Ok Ok... It's powder, I did misspell.... So we are talking powder not power.. Hey I never say I was good at spelling. So for the record I'm not..... lol When you get to know me you will over look my misspelling....Quote:

Well, as it turns out there really is Power Butter.

Well now that is something else we need to stock up on.... Nice to know there is power butter! But, I think I will stay with the real peanut butter and the powder butter...lolQuote:

Being a vegetarian, I have a pretty good idea of various plant based nutrients but was particularly interested in protein and wanted to compile a more comprehensive list. In the course of my research beyond foods I normally consume, I came across this site and particularly this section that I found incredibly informative. It's all about protein, specifically where it comes from and how much.
http://www.vegparadise.com/protein.html#Charts
The charts shown use figures from the USDA Nutrient Database and list the protein content of the plant-based foods that comprise the vegetarian and vegan diets. I didn't know, for example that all plant foods contain protein and that it is protein that gives all plants their structure regardless of whether they grow upright or sprawl on a vine.
Considering everything we stock for a rainy day it might be useful to know what contains the most of what we nutritionally need.
Healthier... Nuttin, I have had the flu since last night and I am glued to the computer, sneezing and headache.....body aches....took there-flu and am higher than a kite.
And that's bad, how? :sneaky2:Quote:

I am not a big fruit and vegetable person (at least in variety), hopefully this will help change that a bit (at least when I am home).
I only had one beer, one shot....I feel like breaking out in full song..... must be spring.
I'M OK the moment passed.
Ive been working out the past 3 months and changed my diet to the better.
I grew 5 cm (2 inches) and put on 7.4 kg (16 lbs).
I believe im stronger than Rick now :ninja:
Well now that I am back from working on the Yukon Quest, I am back to running almost every day, normally over 3 miles a day. But yesterday I took off to give some people a dog sled ride. We just got a huge amount of snow. Even though we ran the trails with the snow machine, twice, the trail was still really soft. So that was a lot of kicking, and pushing the sled. I didn't even have my coat on and was sweating. So yea, a good work out.
Same as every day, worked my butt off and watched what I eat. I am a one sandwich, two pieces of fruit (with a bottle of water) for lunch kind of guy. Seems to work, I still wear the same size clothes as in high school..I think I am healthier now then back then.
Yogurt with granola and berries for Bfast. 1 hr hike. Before 8 am.
Heading out to the gym for my cardio work out....here in a couple of minutes.....then rake leaves ....again.
New to the forum but not to the concept:
I am nearly 70 years old. I work out 3 days per week (more or less) and walk extensively all the time. Our goal, once My Lovely retires, is to walk the Camino de Santiago de Compostella in northern Spain, beginning in France and continuing all the way to the Atlantic Ocean at Finisterre.
Am I old? Yep. I turn 70 in June.
Have I given in to the "limitations" of age? Not just 'no' but 'Hell-no!'
There will come a day, of course, but IT IS NOT THIS DAY....!
Happy Days,
Spooky Ol' Joe
I'll be getting my five year colonoscopy in a couple of hours. That WILL keep you healthy.
