Getting into shape.

[Dontrike]

Quick workout done today. I never got the chance to get to the farmer's walk today. The lunges were not as bad as last week.

I would quite enjoy if my knees were finally healed, considering its been 3 weeks since I did the thing that caused it.

Had to do some errands and looking for a job. I was noticing some slight pain while biking every so often, but it was more of an annoyance than anything else. I would love if this knee thing goes away as I would like to not see my doctor.

Hey Dontrike have you tried using your rice sock on your knee?

 

[Dontrike]

I never thought of that option, to be honest. Probably would be a good thing to use.

Workout done today. Things went pretty smooth compared to Monday. The only thing with my knee was some soreness, maybe some dull pain, but nothing like the last two days.

Whats your diet like Dontrike?

My diet consists of.

Breakfast - Bowl of cereal and a piece of fruit
Lunch - Egg wrap, peanut butter toast, some cottage cheese, and a piece of fruit
Dinner - Either salad, sandwich, and a piece of fruit or whatever pasta I make for 2-3 days

If I have anything like a snack, which normally happens twice a day, I have a peanut butter & jelly sandwich or another bowl of cereal.

My diet is much better than what it used to be, but it could still be a lot better.

 

[Dontrike]

A question I have, based on a bit of concern, I have been feeling my heart beat quite a bit lately, about the last two or three days. Just sitting down ,doing nothing, I can feel it beat pretty heavily. Right now I am thinking all of those eggs I have been eating consistently with all of the cholesterol might be the cause.

Should I be alarmed, cut back/down on the eggs, or am I just being paranoid?

This is the exercising I did today. It was mostly errand type stuff. Probably won't be exercising much the next few days as I was hit by a car today and my left shoulder is definitely in a lot of pain.

it is not the eggs....more likely you could use some more magnesium.....the gel form absorbed through the skin will prevent the potential diarrhea from oral mag


and a separate multi mineral is almost never a bad idea

coq-10 is also essential for heart health, especially if you are on statins(almost always a bad idea!)....

 

[DirtyNerd]

Are u just eatting the egg whites or the whole egg.. ? and how many last year when i was in full swing of fitness i was downing 10 eggs a day but only boiled and eating the whites and chucking the middle away but damn the egg farts are another story high protein diets are not good for the rear

 

[lobey]

eat the yolks....lots of nutrition there......

Yes eat some but if you eat to many its not good for you high cholesterol from the yolks when you just eat the whites its just protein

I'll look into all of that. I am not on any statins, whatever those may be.

The whole egg. I have 6 almost everyday.

The whole egg. I have 6 almost everyday.

also....one of the simple things that is easily overlooked....dehydration....and of course caffeine - for heart palpitations

 

[Dontrike]

I drink plenty of water, that is for sure. I usually have a gallon of it a day, on average, and two gallons isn't out of the question some days. My caffeine intake is close to non existent, maybe only a glass or two of soda a week, if that.
