May Day Mayhem ChallengeMay Day Mayhem Challenge
This is not a call for an armed communist revolution, but, in the Ward you never know what may be cookin'. 
If you wanna lose some weight or gain some muscle or just ride roughshod all over the Ward, this might just be the wing to explore. Spring is here and it's crystal clear that those who wish to spring forward will end up ahead of those who are falling backward. Although, that really hasn't been scientifically proven enough for AC, so don't quote me on that one. 
Anyway, come up with a personal plan and try to see if you can get somewhere over the next month. You never know, you just might surprise yourself. At the very least you will have the satisfaction of knowing you tried, which is a lot more than most will admit to.

i am so ready for a challenge..
i'm working out and eating my fat/protein & water!

but who knows... maybe i'll be able to pull on a size 8-9 slacks!!!!
thanks for doing this dean!

Sounds good Dean!
I'll come up with some kind of build muscle strategy. I had a bad arthritis flare in my good knee and ended up having to do PT. I am enjoying the exercises, the knee is showing some improvement, and I feel like exploring something more.

Sounds good, Dean...I'm just going to stick with what I've been doing for the last 4 years. It works well for me. Meat, fish, poultry, coffee, tea, HC, Cheese, mayo, and butter!! An occasional tomato, pickle or olive...rare. I also like to indulge in Cocoa mixed with Vanilla Whey Protein as an occasional sweet treat.
I know...sounds boring! But it works for me.

Love the name of the challenge..
I've been exercising for a whole month now..regularly..so I would like to continue along that line..and see if it makes my weight drop. I would also like to continue eating how I have been..which is basically carnivore with a tad of cream..and extremely limited cheese. Vegetable experimentation once in a while...mostly fermented kraut and avocados..a tad of salsa on my eggs.
Exercise goals for May Day Mayhem:
ride my bike 50 miles a week (or more) and maybe try a hill.
50 crunches a day (or more)
Complete the 100 push-up program (I can do 52 now)
1 hour fast paced walk a day (or more)
60 squats a day
Eating:
Stop obsessing about calories
Keep protein to around 75 grams a day (it's an experiment)
Mental Health:
Visualize happiness..and make it happen
Go fishing more
Enjoy my garden
Thanks for setting this up Dean..much appreciated.

I'd like to muscle up a bit and get stronger.

I also am determined to add some exercise this month - I need to build some endurance as I get winded just walking up stairs. I have a treadmill and some free weights. No idea what the plan is yet but I've got to start doing something as I'd like to do some hiking and biking this fall.
|
Heather

I'm aiming for 620 minutes of exercise this month. I have been slacking big time and need to get back in the swing of things. I am also under huge stress and I'm hoping exercise will help me deal with it.

Getting on and starting is always the hardest part. Give yourself lots of credit!
I rode my bike Friday for 14 km, I think I was just under an hour. It's been a while since I really pushed my body but damn I love feeling the burn. I think I will go again today, gotta love challenging those hills.

No exercise today - I ended up shlepping my two year old around furniture stores all day - exhausting to say the least, but found what I wanted.

I need to cut out the bacon and cheese and see if that helps me out some. I've lost 45.8 pounds since Jan. 2. Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining. The weird thing is that in March I went off my diet completely for 6 days and lost 8.6 pounds for the month. This month I stayed on my diet completely and only lost 7.8 pounds. The first two months, I lost 15 pounds each month. I ate quite a bit of bacon in April and ocassional cheese. I'm not exercising at all right now. Some of told me that it will just increase my appetite and won't help me lose weight so I'm not sure what to do.
Today though I ate cheese.
2 double cheeseburgers less buns for lunch from Burger King. I told them plain but they put ketchup, mustard and pickle on it.
For dinner I ate about 6-7 slices of swiss cheese and 2 cheese steaks and a new york strip steak.

As long as yOu are losing inches, ignore the scale. I look at weight the same way I look at total cholesterol. It really doesn't tell you much.

Happy Mother's Day!
I don't have kids but my husband found the cutest mother's day card from a cat, so it came from my kitty. 
Deviled eggs without the whites (I made a ton of my famous deviled eggs for my husband's grandparent's 90th surprise part yesterday. I made some more today for the two of us, but I ate them all, just eating the filling. So I made a batch for work of just the filling)
New York Strip (out to lunch for mother's day with my family, it came with green beans but I only had a couple)
lobster tail and filet mignon with butter (unbelievable! Two nice sized lobster tails and two nice sized filet mignons in a package for $20 at a local, upscale, grocery store that was a mother's day special! delicious!)
Pork Sausage meat balls (got some fabulous italian seasoned ground pork from the same upscale grocery store, it was really good, like the kind they put on Rocky Rococo's (pizza chain) pizza)
Yum, great eating day!

5/12
Pemmican (I could live on this stuff! )
Breakfast sausages (in the cafeteria at another hospital I work for, I thought they were the nice yummy natural ones like my home base place of work, they were brown n serve. Uck! I ate them, but I was hungrier AFTER I ate them. 
Surf & Turf again (they had it marked down cheap AGAIN)
more pemmican
I found another grocer who will give me fat for free, hooray! It's another smaller upscale grocery store. I was really flirty with the young blond hunk at the counter, lol, maybe that is why.
He asked me what I was using it for, and I told him pemmican. He actually knew what that was! Wow! 
I bought some more Eye of Round Roast, sliced it up, and put in the dehydrator. I'm so happy that i've got my husband addicted to the beef jerky instead of buying those flavored protein drinks at the store.
|
Lynne

I was thinking last night how Pemmican would be an excellent food source to have around during hurricane season, which starts June 1st--here in South Florida..
I'll have to wait until it cools down and windows are open before I start making any pemmican, this year...
yesterday's meals:
Pork roast
wine
bite of almond/pecan encrusted fish

Today was absolute crap!
I left for work, feeling like I'd forgotten something! 
I was almost to work and remembered to cook & bring my hamburger patties and pemmican!!!!
I was starved when I got there so I had 6 breakfast sausages, like I used to get before. They gave me a headache and I couldn't stop sneezing.
For lunch I ran to Culver's (burger place) and got a triple burger with bacon. When I got to work it had cheese all over it. I ate the patties, cheese, and bacon, and my sinuses started hurting really bad.
Ugh.
I had a bunch of pemmican when I got home, feeling better now.

I'm still waiting for it to warm up even a bit! It's freakin cold here!!! I pulled out my ski pants, ski coat and gloves and rode my bike to watch a soccer game across town. Maybe 10 minutes exercise.... My daughter was playing in shorts and t-shirt, I don't know how the kids do it? But she did get a goal!
