AnneLine Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 I tend to think that Mary is a practical mother and would like you see you healthy..... Appropriate clothing always makes a mother happy. Would she want you working out in a tux? Probably not. AND... if you showed up for a formal dinner not-so-fresh from the gym in your sweats, be sure you'd hear about it... and what would she say? "Brian, you get in there, take a shower and change your clothes - now; company is coming!!!!" At least that is my guess about what she'd say.....

IcePrincessKRS Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 [quote name='brianthephysicist' timestamp='1347059108' post='2480067'] IDGI Hmm, that's a new one for me. I like the sound of it, but how does this work with the promises of wearing the scapular constantly? I know we can trade out for a new one if it gets too old, worn, & beat-up, but it feels weird to trade scapulars multiple times a week just so we can workout. Maybe I'm just being silly lol [/quote] I don't think it matters which sort it is. When I was enrolled in the scapular I was told that you carry the blessing with you at all times (so when you get a new scapular you don't need to have it blessed). That's no excuse not to wear one all the time (which, admittedly, i don't) but for 30-60 minutes here and there I don't think it's really breaking the promise.

BG45 Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 (edited) [quote name='AnneLine' timestamp='1347051022' post='2479997'] It is so hard for women to hear how easy it seems to be for guys to lose the weight. I am jealous... But I am not as dedicated, so I have no reason to be grumpy.... [/quote] I'm a guy and I'm definitely jealous too. I don't lose weight very easily, despite cutting my portion sizes by half and walking 15km a week at a minimum. 3 miles on the Hoodlebug Trail today; walked 1.5 before rain hit and I had to turn back. Today I Learned my umbrella can't keep both my shoulders dry. Edited September 8, 2012 by BG45 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MIKolbe Posted September 12, 2012 Author Share Posted September 12, 2012 My co-worker, on Monday wanted to know if I wanted to talk a walk with her and another co-worker. (I guess they go on walks alot) I said sure. I thought it was just going to be a walk around the building or something... umm. no. we walked for 30 minutes...on the way, she said it was 2.1 miles. I said, 'oh, no problem'...and then thought to myself, 'what did i get myself into?'... and i would not call it a walk, i would call it a hyper-walk or and gentle sprint. sheesh. Thank goodness there was a nice breeze and it was 70 outside, or i would have needed a change of clothes. Yesterday had a catechist meeting and got home late, so no work out but I got on the scale this morning, and lost 5 more lbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MIKolbe Posted September 12, 2012 Author Share Posted September 12, 2012 I'm just happy the scale isn't saying "one person at a time, please".... or, well, is at least saying it less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ContemporaryCaflicCrusader Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 I went to the doctor's yesterday and the doctor told me I have a perfect BMI (Body Mass Index) [url="http://www.bmi-calculator.net/"]http://www.bmi-calculator.net/[/url] I have my first 5 mile run today after work. Should be interesting... Well the time will most likely be embarassing lol. Less then a month til the 10k I'm doing and I think I'm gonna do the local zombie run too which is a 5K. I wanna go halloween costume paintballin too. With Dodgeball on top. So excited! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianthephysicist Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 I hate to be nitpicky, but I think BMI is a poor measure of fitness. It is simply height and weight. It doesn't take into account whether the weight is fat or muscle (which weighs more than fat). A while back, there was a big issue with this a few years back in high schools where football players and wrestlers that were in excellent physical shape were placed under food restrictions at lunchtime because their BMI said they were overweight. Ended up causing problems with them having to find ways to sneak the additional food they needed to maintain their activities (consider Phelps eats 12,000 calories/day). Much better measures of fitness and healthiness are things like body fat % or measuring your heart rate and blood pressure before, during, and after exercise.

According to my BMI I'd be considered obese (class 2, even!) However, my heart rates are good, my blood pressure is usually perfect, and my body fat percentage is actually on the LOWER range of "average" according to this chart: [img]http://www.builtlean.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Ideal-Body-Fat-Percentage-Chart1.jpg[/img] [size=2]([url="http://www.builtlean.com/2010/08/03/ideal-body-fat-percentage-chart/"]http://www.builtlean...rcentage-chart/[/url])[/size] Focusing on BMI can actually be dangerous, as you might think you still need to lose "weight" even if you've reached a good fat percentage and some of that weight might actually be essential body mass (lean muscle, etc) if you restrict your diet too much in order to achieve unrealistic and unhealthy weight goals. You probably wouldn't believe the number you'd get if you learned what your individual "ideal" weight range[i] should [/i]be. I know I was quite (pleasantly) surprised.
