Guest guest Posted December 6, 2004 Report Share Posted December 6, 2004 I am a marathoner and triathlete, but thought it might be a good time to try this diet because I am in my off season, so training is lighter and not as intense. So right now I am just teaching group cycling classes 3 x a week, plus other group exercise classes 4x per week, run around 20 miles per week, lift weights twice a week, and do yoga 2-3 times a week. Because the semester is about to end, the classes I am teaching will be ending for about three weeks starting next week before starting up again in January, but my usual exercise is 1-2 hours per day around six days a week right now. Thanks!!

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2004 Report Share Posted December 6, 2004 Amie, I also run and am training for my first marathon in January. I also do a body pump class three times a week that is an hour long of lifting weights. I honestly could not do the phase 1 like I should have, I am also nursing a baby. Saturdays when i have done my long runs, I have to have some carbs through out the day or I can't make it. I am not talking low-carb or something not too bad for you.... I have to have a good old bowl of cereal when i first get back. Anyway, I am just restarting on phase 2 yesterday, I got sidetracked ( I have 4 kids 7 and under, they have all been sick all week) so I am back on it now. I don't have much advice I guess I am looking for some also... Re: Theresa/chart> > > > Please share the chart, would love to see it! )> > Thanks!> > Kris> > > Does anyone else on the list exercise?

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2004 Report Share Posted December 6, 2004 I started walking earlier this year (June) and lost about 30 lbs. I started running in August and have actually quit loosing weight for the past two months. Little fustrating.... but I am also eating more. I want to loose another 25lbs. I thought I had to be at my final weight to start running, i was so surprised how well I was able to run without having lost all the weight yet. So I figure by next June or before I will have lost all the weight I wanted to. 182/152/125 Re: Re: Theresa/chart Amie, I also run and am training for my first marathon in January.

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2004 Report Share Posted December 7, 2004 Is it true in phase I we can eat all the vegetables we want on the allowed foods list? Not that it’s the same for runners, but it’s something. -Amie From: and Sent: Monday, December 06, 2004 2:45 PM To: South-Beach-Diet-Getting-It-Right Subject: Re: Re: Theresa/chart Amie, I also run and am training for my first marathon in January.

Guest guest Posted December 11, 2004 Report Share Posted December 11, 2004 Thanks for the ideas Theresa. I was also thinking about writing the exercises on pieces of paper then picking one out of a hat. Could you send a list of your 16 exercises for more ideas? STheresa Hammond wrote: The chart is more an idea that you would have to replicate for yourself (it's simple), not really something I can post...mainly because I printed it out and deleted it off the computer (not on purpose). Anyway, I was having trouble staying focused every day and needed something to keep me excited about it, so here's what I did: Opened my word processer, went to to top insert a chart, set it for 10X30, which pretty much fills a page with boxes. On another paper, I wrote down different exercises, this could be any number but the more the better because variety helps a lot, both with muscles and not getting bored. I have 16 exercises, everything from walking dvd's (1-4 miles), routines I developed myself, etc. One of my favorites is to walk with weights 10 min. really fast, then step up and down on a step really fast for 5 mins, then repeat 2-4 times to vary the length of the exercise session. The stepping up really boosts the heart rate and gets me sweating. Anyway, you pick whatever exercise and list and number them. Then, just go through that chart and fill in the numbers, 1-16 for me, making sure they get nice and mixed up. I had fun making little designs with the numbers then going back and filling in the empty spaces. It takes a few minutes to do this, but when you print it out it's a lot of fun. Start with the top box, or you could start anywhere I guess, then I have a choice of the exercises that touch that box. They have to share a side of the box to be open, not just a corner. It gives me an option and it's fun! I color in the boxes with my daughter's markers to keep track of where I've been and it's getting quite colorful. I say you'd have to do it yourself because everyone would have a different number of exercises they like to do. I gues it only works if you come up with a lot of different things to do. I like variety, and if I get bored I quit, so this works for me. Another ides is the Vitual Walk Across America, where you walk a trail from one end of the country to the other. You can print out from a website exactly where all the trail goes, how many miles between different points, and if you follow yourself on a map or something it's fun. I did it for awhile when I first started Walk Away the Pounds, which I LOVE, but put it aside for awhile for this chart idea. Those who run or walk, or want to do either, www.runnersworld.com is an excellent recourse. They have tons on there, including training schedules and tips, challenging workouts, etc. I do interval training that was once posted on there, it's great. Theresa Do you Yahoo!?The all-new My Yahoo! – What will yours do? Reminder: The South Beach Diet is not low-carb. Nor is it low-fat.
