So, it has apparently taken me this long to realize that I have this problem...

I got into healthy eating about a year ago and it makes a major difference in our quality of life. You can feel it when you wake up and you can see it in your skin. Not to say I dont still love a good fatty meal, I just dont eat as much now. If you can learn how to fill up on water before meals and to eat protein in the morning to get your metabolism going you'll never look back. I'm trying to find a local farmers market so I dont have to eat these tainted grocery store veggies and fruit but thats a different matter.

When the weather is nice, there is one on Kings drive every Saturday.

i still eat a lot of saturated fats but i do it balanced. If I eat red meat I try to get certified humane when I can. Organic is a buzzword nowadays.

Dry aged prime rib would be wonderful for christmas.

I think balance is most important. As long as you are getting some sort of cardio you should be able to eat what you want.

I think the hardest part is that it is so easy to eat bad stuff. $1 cheeseburgers, $5 pizzas, ect are everywhere. I make a big bowl of salad and keep it in the fridge and try and have one once a day for lunch or with a meal. Lettuce, Green Peppers, Onion, Tomato, Cucumbers. It really does make me feel better.

mmmm yeah, sorta.

I pretty much stick to the exercise until you feel like you are about to throw up, and maybe then you can "eat what you want".

The older you get, the tougher that gets.

Some people's idea of "exercising hard" is, well, not really much.

Portion control, sensible balance, fruits and veg>fat and meat, solid exercise=good quality of life.

It's about finding something you like to do. I like playing basketball and I get a great cardio work out without even trying to, I'm just having fun and playing hard. I think there's a physical activity for everyone to enjoy some people just dont have convenient ones or just dont make the time to do it. Not sure about the getting older part, guess I'll find out

Dude, plant a garden. Having the fresh veggies right out the back door will keep you totally motivated to eat well and actually doing it will provide a jump start to an exercise program.

Don't need a ton of space either, I planted this on my deck with 5 gallon buckets last year.

Tomatoes (roma,beefsteak,heirloom), cucs, green beans, peppers, watermelon,peas, black beans, carrots, and a pooload of herbs.

I would LOVE that, too much of a hassle though

man, startch city here we come. yeah man got lots to change. First of all yes, schedule an appt ASAP and go eat some crow. Based on what you listed, you are going to have a myriad of vitamins lacking that needs to be upped. But the good news is that can come from simply changing your diet.

Take small approaches. One book I always suggest to people is Eat this Not That. It covers everything you eat and some things you already like, you might just try a different brand etc, cut down on salt, sugar and fat but still eat what you like.

Start walking. At least 5 days a week, bare min 20 mins a day. Find out your targeted heart rate and hit that # and sustain it for at least 20 mins. This causes your heart to become more productive and your body more effcient in burning calories. Right now you are a roller coaster with energy and diet. Thus the effects.

Cut out the fries. Eat them only on the weekends. You can do this without thinking about it. I now eat fries on very rare occasions.

Find and create a Top 5 things you should eat and drink EVERDAY. Salsa is awesome. The cooked tomatoes with the lycopene will be your friend as you get older for your plumbing.

Eat yougurt. If you have allergies find some that help. Many benefits. Good for your digestive system. Good for your teeth. That helps fight plaque which builds up which leads to heart issues.

But bottom line. Go see your doc. It's never as bad as you think and as good as you think. Getting an objective view will help.

One thing. He might offer meds right out of the gate. While I'm not anti meds, I'm last resort meds. If my diet and exercise doesn't change the things I need to change, then I will take the meds. But let that motivate you alone to get in better shape.

I'm pulling for ya.

cheers

      This Bryce Guy (General BY Discussion)

      By woahfraze · Posted

      I’m not necessarily advocating sticking with Bryce. His highs show the ability is there, but there’s enough bad film out there to doubt that he can consistently enough play at a high enough level. But this video from Brett Kollman is a pretty good argument to give it a bit more time, whether that be rolling with Bryce just next year or picking up his 5th year option (not extending him).      The gist is that the structural (wider hashes) and rule (3 yd vs 1 yd thresholds for intelligible offensive lineman downfield penalties) differences in the college and NFL have led to wildly different play calling and scheme diets in college. There is much more shotgun and RPO calls in college and screen/quick throws. This simply doesn’t set up young QBs to be able to play under center, which is more preferred in the NFL due to RBs being able to more effectively run out of that formation.  They don’t know how to do it and have to learn. Yes, the NFL has trended more toward college style offense in the last decade or so, but it isn’t that pronounced and is more out of necessity than desire. And on top of all that, they ask the young QBs to do all this learning with coaching and other personnel churn going on around them.  Bad results lead to coaches getting fired and new ones with different ideas on scheme and footwork and different terminology and playbooks coming in. It makes it harder on those young QBs to learn.     So we may drop Bryce for a young QB starter in the draft and be in a similar situation. With a QB who is going to take years to learn how to operate in an NFL style offense and will struggle along the way.  So you have to weigh whether the struggles we see from Bryce are more due to this learning process vs solely physical limitations on his part. It’s almost undoubtedly a bit of both, but the answer to that question I think dictates your strategy at QB over the next few years. And of course, you have to consider what the alternatives available are.    I’m neither a Bryce hater or a Bryce Stan and I don’t have an answer to that question. But I do fear that if we move on from him, unless it’s for an established player, we’re just in for continued frustration on the QB front because it’s going to take a few years for a college QB to develop (Drake Maye’s don’t grow on trees).

      A question no one is asking about Bryce and The Panthers

      The defense has pulled that feat off this season though.  Multiple times. offense has not had a single good first half all season.  Only and good opening scripted drive paired with disappointing play.  defense has been the actual unit you can measure real and consistent improvement IMO.  Still holes and flaws to it that aren’t going away until new bodies get here but they really are the story of the season IMO

      Hubbard says he might have rushed back

      One thing about RB's and LB's is they are going to get hurt. It's inevitable. Having a fresh Chuba is not a bad thing.  My only criticism of this entire situation is that I wish our staff would adjust personnel to matchup a little better. I think Chuba is a lot better than Rico against the stacked boxes we've seen the last two weeks. They are very different backs with very different strengths, and I love them both. Rico is so good at identifying the hole early, and hitting it full speed early. He's much better at breaking the big run. Chuba is a much more patient back, and finds 3 yards when there's nothing there better than Rico.  It's in no way a criticism of either, but I think Chuba would have had more success than Rico the way the Saints and Falcons attacked us from a Defensive standpoint.  When you put 9 in the box, often times there is no hole to attack.
