I have a treadmill. It usually gets used in the winter.

Grizz, why not connect the treadmill to tricklecell batteries?
Not joking, exercise and charge 12V at the same time.
It's a motivation.

Thats an idea Dutchie.

The wife would certainly shit when she saw me building a rectifier plant system to run some lights in the house.

I was up to about 255 two years ago. It was awful. Most I've weighed. I'm tall, but iv have a skinny frame. And all my weight is everywhere BUT my chicken legs. I don't know if I can post pics here, I'll try - if not you'll just have to take my word for it. I started eating smaller portions of food and training at a local martial arts gym. I only did what I could because my core was weak and I had major back surgery back in 2005. As I lost weight, I got stronger. I started CHANGING my diet at that point to healthy stuff I actually liked.

Eventually added in low weight/high rep weight training. Then yoga. Now that ve been doing this for around two years, I'm more fit than when I was in the Infantry. I weigh 185 now.

Also, I should add that the martial arts (what I'm able to do of it) is a great outlet for my anger. The yoga is a way to keep me centered.

awesome. i signed up for a beginners yoga class this winter. we'll see how it goes. people i talk to say that once you start doing yoga you wonder why you haven't always done it.

 

[stooty]

That's exactly it.

Good for you Stooty! To save my joints and address pain my goals are (usually beyond my reach): lotsa physical therapy stretching for core & back, yoga, elliptical or swimming, yard work, machines & light weights. Recently, I joined an over-50 basketball league which is a blast since I'm a young up there and exercise is much easier for me to motivate for when it involves competition. But I learned quickly, these older guys can shoot and play hard. I have to get recurring massages for pain & tension headaches.
