Bodybuilding/Workout/Diet thread

[SD]

Been feeling like shtein the last two weeks, only been to the gym twice and couldn't put my finger on the issue. I had headaches, nausea, stomach ache, ear ache. Figured I had some 2 week virus. A few years ago I had similar symptoms and identified the problem was I was ingesting too much Splenda [sucralose]. I kicked that and was fine. Lately I've been drinking a lot of diet soda, like 3 cans a day, plus chewing gum with aspartame in it. I cut that out thursday and now I'm having withdrawal symptoms including headaches, craving diet soda, and this feeling in the back of my throat that is craving sweets. There's zero doubt in my mind aspartame is the issue. So I'm done with the artificial sweetener shtein for good. Nasty stuff and the more I research the issue the more dangerous I believe it is.

That is very wise. I still hit the diet soda occasionally, but no more than 1 a day. The missus and I use Truvia in our coffee too.

On another note, I kind of ditched the whole foods plant-based diet last night. Had Sonic for dinner, then French Dip egg rolls and fries later at the bar. All in had three hard liquor drinks and four beers. Wasn't too hard to figure out why I felt like I was going to collapse on my run this morning. Dumb dumb dumb dumb dummmmmmmmmb.

In a fit of blinding stupidity I bought a LivingSocial deal for 20 one-hour boot-camp sessions over the next six weeks. All of which are scheduled for 5:45am. What in the hell is the matter with me?

[SunMo]

please do a complete and detailed journal for all 20 sessions.

tia.

No. I will however detail the contents and consistency of any vomit that results from this festival of horrors.

Wasn't she the Chinese gymnast or diver?

Started the bootcamp classes this morning. There wasn't anything that we did that was difficult in and of itself. Doing it for an hour straight with no break (unless running several hundred yards between workouts is considered a break) was brutal.

I've basically only done three kinds of workout over the past 10 years:
- lifting weights
- running (haven't done this one in a long ass time)
- lacrosse

None of those three prepared me for this nonsense. I'd like to die now. Ok thanks bye.

The only thing that keeps you from acting like a little bitch like crying and quitting during the class is the number of women you'd have to do it in front of. Love these classes.

[rjs246]

It was actually more dudes than women, which surprised me.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

I ran 8 miles today. Running is hard. Your boot camp shtein sounds easy.

[rjs246]

Never once in my life have I run 8 miles. Nor do I ever intend to. Running is boring and kills me knees.
