Get Your Athlete’s Body Back
Link to Get Your Athlete’s Body Back
Here’s a great article from Weight Watchers: How to get the body back you had in high school. I was never a superstar athlete, but I did manage to letter in four different sports while I was there, Three in basketball, two in baseball, and one each in football and cross country. Of course, after all of that was done, and I wasn’t in a training mode any more, the weight packed on in no time. Needless to say, it’s been a problem for the last 22 years of my life.
So as I continue to drop some weight, at some point I need to look at some conditioning of some kind. I’ve already started some distance walking for endurance, but this article also goes on to suggest some strength conditioning as well. I’m not going to kid myself here. I don’t expect to be hitting fastballs out of the park, or keeping up with 18-year-olds in a full-court scrimmage any time soon. But, with some work, I think I can gradually build some endurance and muscle tone back up that is more in line with a 40-year-old body.
It’s a lifestyle, not a diet.
FatBloggers Poll #2
Thanks everybody for participating in our very first poll. Looks like we had 19 participants, and several of us are in the 21-30 pounds lost range.
Our next poll is, “How long have you actively been losing weight?” Everything I read talks about the length of the “dieting” process and how it translates into long term results. I’m just curious how long everybody has been making a concerted effort to do this now.

Pardon our dust
I’m experimenting with a few things, most noticeably the layout and design. Long story short, I like the i-feel-dirty design with its ragged edges, etc…but unfortunately it doesn’t support sidebar widgets. It was just getting to much to wrestle with the html code every time I wanted to do something. Besides, change is good, right? And aren’t we all about positive change?
This particular layout may or may not stay. One thing about it, there are some really nice WordPress layouts out there, much more so than even a year ago. It’s just a matter of finding one that fits us. If you know of one that just cries out “Fatbloggers,” send it my way and I’ll take a look at it. If you’re not using WordPress for your own blog, I highly recommend it!
Thanks for your patience here over the next day or so. All posts, feeds, etc… will remain unaffected through all of this.
Motivation low, compliance high
It was tough yesterday. After another full weekend of class, I went to a family birthday barbecue that included a London broil, macaroni salad, chips, strawberry shortcake, etc… You know the drill. Unfortunately, I showed up with only about 8 WW points left on the table, but I was able to get by just on [...]
Including the Wife
Men’s Health magazine isn’t all about convincing those of us who are approaching 40 that we could look like Brad Pitt if we just work hard enough. It often publishes articles that are based in realism such as this one from the May 2007 issue.
You should take time to read the article, as there are [...]
