Well, first tournament of the year was a bust, I was the only fencer in my age bracket that registered. I have another set up for Feb 4 where there will be kids the ages of my kids (15-18) who will likely kick my ass, but I will rely and wisdom and treachery versus speed and flexibility. Thanks for all your support.
Keep on losing!

happy new year...
my daily workout routine is same.
yoga, stretching, pushups, run on the treadmill, ride an exercise bike, exercise on the rowing machine, high knees, squats.
I want to change my routine.what do you think?should i?
That sounds a fantastic plan Diana! And the best way to exercise is definitely doing something you love. I look forward to hearing from you how well or otherwise you're getting your ass kicked!
I really turned off him when he said about lose skin after weight loss, "Well.. what do you expect? It's your penalty for being obese"
i did like his idea of lose skin is ones earnt badge of honour though
and I believe perhaps he's saying to spend what energy you do have, on getting 'your head straight first, and your nutrition.' I think that is very wise and the fact that you reach for the gym as an answer to weight loss and maintenance is false if you're still caught up in regular bad eating habits because you then do need to work on your 'head' first. As he pointed out, the myth that the gym will get you your 'ideal body' in this case is totally false and will only add to your head issues when your 'perfect body' is not realised.
He does make some very good points but is perhaps too black and white. Because you can do some exercise as long as most your energy/efforts are with fixing your head issues that lead you to be fat to begin with

I don't think you should run interval first ( If you have run enough before, It's okay)
The faster you run, the more injury risk come up.
I saw that your "mind power" is really strong xD, you could achieve running fast soon. Specially when your core parts is strong.
speeding is not all you need. Sometimes, running slow will be a better therapy. SO my suggestion: you shouldn't run interval every time you go out for a running. Add some endurance running (running base on time on feet).
I'm a new runner too. I'm now training for marathon and 50 miles distance.
I've read many sources of nutrition guide for runners who want to run more than a 10k race.
They said many things, I almost die on these words.....
I didn't say that they are wrong but I want you to know that the most important in a >21k race is that you find a suitable nutrition flow for your own.
Btw, here what I eat before every longrun.
- Two days before longrun: I usually have a high calories breakfast and lunch plus some fruit (I usually eat 1 - 2 bananas each meal a day). I think you wouldn't want to eat to much on evening. Then I whatever I want but I focus more on fruit.
- On running day: Because I usually run long run in the morning. I tried to get up early and have a two glasses of water (don't drink cold water) follow up with two eggs and bread breakfast.
- When running: remember to hydrate every 1-2 miles. Don't drink too much.. I usually eat a half of a banana for every 45-60 mins. Many of my friends prefer GU GEL but I hate this smell :
I listened to this twice to see if I missed something. I think I agree with most of the things he said, but I feel he needed to add some things...That I had to read between the lines. I agree with you about exercise being very therapeutic and feel endorphins help with coping and relaxing. He didn't bring that point up and he should have.
I think what he was trying to stress was that you can't build major muscle groups while being in major weightloss. It takes calories to tear down muscles (the soreness we feel from working them). To build them back up, making them stronger, takes extra calories. Since it is a struggle to get in those calories (especially the first 6 months), we will have major problems trying to build those muscles. I think what he was trying to stress (but didn't say so) was it is better to work on toning muscles and light exercise (walking, biking, elastic bands, different movements, stairs, physical work) than to pump major iron. That is my take on the video...
I also believe he was correct about the use of the gym and the mental aspect of it. In my own case (first six months), I found that walking and physical work (mowing lawns, pruning trees, cleaning the car, cleaning windows) helped me with my weightloss and aided in the toning as well. Brian
