Fit Bit Stuff

[Mrs Jeturbo]

Yeah only by doctor for severely obese I thought

I'm curious because it does advise u have a shake with veges etc

So I'm curious

[.Stripes.]

Optifast recommended I start on the intensive phase because my BMI is above 30 (was 37 before starting Optifast and 39 at my heaviest weight), so yep 3 shakes a day and 2 serves of veggies (with a teaspoon of olive oil). Have spoken to my dietician and she's happy for me to continue on the program, but has reminded me I'll still have a lot of hard work to do once I've finished Optifast to establish correct meal planning and habits...but I'd rather do that as a lean mofo than a fat carnt haha. BUT my biggest reasoning is that my doctor feels my health issues are all weight related, so the quicker I can dump weight the quicker it helps him determine if that's true, or if there's more to it. Seeing him tomorrow morning anyway, so will discuss Optifast with him then.

I feel great though. I also have an app that tracks my sleep and the last 3 nights have shown that I'm snoring a whole heap less (only 5 mins last night)! When I started using it (at my heaviest) I was snoring for nearly an hour or more all up a night.

Scales say 108.65 this morning btw...which is 6.2kgs less than first thing in the morning before I flew up to site last week

Oh and you can see from the activities I've logged with my Vivosmart that I've been f*cking smashing the exercise, burning around 1,000 calories a day playing squash alone.

Nice work Stripey

It pains me to say this but I have something in common with Kimbo.... I too have man flu!

Hopefully gone by the weekend and I can stop making excuses to exercise...

[.Stripes.]

Cheers Pat. No good about the man flu though! Rest up and get better boys. Oh and get yourself a Vivosmart already Pat

[Mrs Jeturbo]

Well done stripes

Sounds like your all over it

Power to u

I have been feeling really motivated this week and am back on the band wagon after a couple emotionally tough weeks where I lost all motivation

I have been smashing the gym every morning and eating well

I am sleeping super freaking awesome too

Got this baby to help me because I have been really going hard on the weights and need to keep track of it

And also have one of these on its way in the next day or two

Cannot freaking wait for it to come

[senna_T]

Yeah I think I'll grab one this weekend.

I was looking at the Vivosmart on Ebay and there are a few without the HR monitor for around $140 or so - should I spend the extra and get the HR monitor? Is it worth it?

[senna_T]

That bag is a serious bit of kit fluff - are you going through 6 meals a day? And will it be a pain in the ass to carry around everywhere?

[Mrs Jeturbo]

Well the front of my car looks like a dressing room atm lmao

I go to the gym before work and I am currently taking a back pack full of work clothes, work shoes, toiletries bag, hair girly crap, drink bottle, phone keys wallet etc, work keys and work stuff plus gym stuff like towel, heart rate monitor, lifting wrist straps and gloves, headphones etc

Then a plastic bag with food for the day and my protein powder and shaker, and most of the time I get to work and by the time I get changed and swap it all over and Put my gym gear back in and put my work clothes on there is usually no room for my sneakers so I end up walking out of work with a back pack, shoes and an empty plastic bag with containers in it

I likely won't go through the 6 meals a day but one of those containers is for protein divider,

And one side of those containers can clip out and allow a hollow area for more water bottles or other items Aswell.

Yeah fair call, I might keep an eye out for something similar when I start the new job since I'll be on the road 90% of the time.
