Syd G, you can do it! Doesn't matter whether you are last or not, you are running a marathon. You can do it gal.

Argh, just blew today's diet with fried kuay teow.

lol, i wonder how much calories in 1 fried kuay teow. I havent eat friend mee/mee hoon/kuay teow in a very long time. but fried chicken cannot avoid. Malaysian food all goreng goreng

Relax lah. Don't feel guilty over cheat meals. You have to work harder to knock it off lah.

Fried Kuey Teow is about 320 - 640 cals. Dunno why such a huge discrepancy but depends on size and what isi is inside. As with anything it's okay if you eat it but make sure to make allowances for the rest of your day to come within your caloric range for the day.

I'm having major issues with my weight. In the afternoon I am 1.5 lbs lighter than I am in the mornings. It's quite frustrating. I'm taking about 1,500 calories in. I could go lower but this is manageable for me right now. If I go too low then on weekends I will blow up and go over 2,000 - 2,500. Of course it's only been about a week & half since we started but is quite annoying to see the scale jump around like that. I've gained 1.3 lbs since the start of this if the numbers this morning is correct.

@redninja,
stick to the one that's manageable to you. 1500kcals is great, especially if you're working out. in my experience, when i workout, i tend to be less hungry so that helps with calorie control as well if you burn 400kcals an hour with 1500kcals of food and 1300kcals BMR, you'll hv a deficit of 200kcals a day. it's not a lot (approx 2lb per month) but it's something. dont worry too much about morning-afternoon weight difference. my weight got ballooned up 3kg for the last 4 days due to fluid retention (period + pre half-marathon carbloading) but i know when it goes away, i'll see even a nicer number on the scale as long as i keep on doing the right things

@tengster
ya ya i know what i said to you. i think i may be hving stress fracture on my hip (touch wood) cause it's been hurting in a weird place for 2 days now. will try to go for a light jog today to access the condition

@myremi
now that i know the marathon time limit is 9hr instead of 6hr, it lifted up a whole load of weight off my shoulders. i WILL finish it doesnt matter if i hv to walk or crawl

Nah, last place is reserved for me......hahaha.

Anyways, I always say the following:

"Just because I am not going to win anything or end up last in running, I will still finish the run and continue jogging there after."

Similarly,

"Just because I am still weaker than most my friends and may or may not achieve the same weight loads (in terms of weight training) back in Australia, I will still continue with my weight trainings consistently."

just work it in your calorie allowance. if i hv a fried kuey teow during lunch, i'll eat cleaner during dinner

I'm craving for maggi goreng telur mata (argh!) so if I have it tonight (650kcals), I'll eat my organic wholegrain cereal with less milk for breakfast along with my nescafe (around 450kcals), lunch of 1/4 plate of rice + 1/2 plate of vege + a piece of meat (600kcals) and go for a run for an hour or so (500kcals). Total 1200kcals - still a deficit of ~200kcals

Syd, Can I join? the 22KM circuit run?

Any details?


EDIT

Oh..PM1's blog..ok i saw it already

Shit I didn't register

And at night, crap......I just saw the details. Sigh I need to check with some stuff.


Edit 2

Scrap everything. I can't run at night. Shit..have to run on my own. Ok la..I try to run in the morning. 7 loops huh?

@metalfreak
you can still run with the bukit jalil group - i think just tell them beforehand before they start running. tell earlier even better cause then they can prepare enough foods. but run with bukit jalil group = no trophy. but ur doing it for training no?

redninja : It's a huge discrepancy because of the amount of fat and sugar. There are still some Chinese non-halal stalls around the country that still uses lard (pig fat). Sugar to make it sweet or the hidden sugar in the form of white flour used to make fish balls, fish cakes, meatballs.

The thing with simple carbs is that it's a damn huge calorie bomb especially flour (any type).

My weight yoyos depending on what I'm eating. I had no choice but to really really watch out for the cheat meals. And for me, what works was just basically eating at home. Going out to eat is a bad idea so I usually try not to stay out too long.

Added on June 11, 2009, 11:16 amHey Myremi,

Do you know your body type?

Not sure if it matters but perhaps it may help you understand what to do alittle better?

http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/becker3.htm

I know the link is to bodybuilding.com but check out the question....


hmmmm Syd any views on this? It applies to any gender right?

metalfreak : Yeah, I do know my bodytype i.e. Endomorph. So am already practicing it, tbh. I admit that it isn't easy but I am getting better at it.

I'm actually still trying to resolve strength and weight training as a normal person. I'm still very heavy so I check if I can do the burpee probably 1x - 2x a week. 158 cm at 92 kg means heavy duty legs.

Only could do 30 min on crosstrainer yesterday because the temperature was so hot in the house. It's very hot atm. So, today's lunch doesn't have any complex carbs in it compared to yesterday's lunch and breakfast.

Breakfast was leftover stir fry chicken with broccoli and mushroom with some ginger and garlic with about 6 pcs of fresh cherries. Lunch is steam mackerel (I need to change different fish) with garlic, ginger, cucumber and some black pepper and the veggie portion is poached celery, carrot, cucumber with ume plum vinegar (which didn't turn out to be such a nice seasoning in the end).

@metalfreak
applies to females too. combine that with ur oxidizer type and ur diet gets 2x easier

Not to hijack but I just did that quiz. The result is that I'm a mix between endomorph and mesomorph. Got such thing ah?

I always thought I was big-boned but my wrists are tiny - my thumb overlaps the middle finger until past the nail to the first knuckle, or bend or whatchacalit. Even though I am extremely heavy at about 75 - 76 kg for a woman, I do not "look" big. Most people think I am 140 - 145 lbs even though the truth is that I am 20 lbs heavier. I have hourglass shape - same size hips and boobs, smaller (in comparison) waist. My weight always goes to boobs, thighs and midsection but calves and forearms are small. A very weird body?

redninja : It could be a resultant of your childhood swim training.

The "eating+exercise" by body type is a simplified way of eating that helps ppl to get started. For long-term maintenance though, there may be a need to go deeper and understand the way the body processes food.

And I get the same type of reaction as you do. That I do not look that big. But the weighing scale doesn't lie and so, I'm pushing forward.

Hmm...speaking of weight yoyos, I actually keep track of my weight on a daily basis and it's now becoming a chart.

It's my supper\breakfast because i'm on night shift and couldn't stand the cravings, must be the french toast that causes the sugar spike and fall that resulting in hunger pangs. The calorie deficit on that day itself is around 2k since I'm playing basketball but I fear it wouldn't be enough for the week to lose 1kg this week.

Will do weight training later, don't feel like mixing it up with cardio.

Anyway about the quiz.



Weird though, what's with being an emotional, intellectual, or physical person got to do with the body?

Syd G : Have a good quote for you.

It's not how good you are, it's how good you want to be. - Paul Arden

sigh.. didnt workut for the last one week...

been to spore for holx.. there eat eat eat...

came back here, on travelling to oustation again for two days. tiring 11 hours driving..

nw came back. just started my diet today..

oatmeal + milk breakfast.
400g steam chicken breast as lunch..

going jog later

today lunch-time WO on Treadmill:
Walk3min 4-5-6kmph
HIIT27min 7-8-9-8-12-7-13-8-12-7-13-9-8-12-7-13-9-8-12-7-13-9-8-12-7-13kpmh (1 level per min) added 30sec level 7 + 30sec level 14
Cool 2min 6.4kpmh
= 314cal 4.84km 32min

just curious,
if total calori intake (1700cal) - total workout (500cal) = 1200cal balance
does this mean for example calori intake (1700cal) - total workout (1700cal) = 0cal balance?

pardon me, logically it sounds right, but does these true?
