What I have been using for breakfast over the past few weeks is this:<br />

<br />
It tastes bloody good and has a fairly impressive nutritional readout. They do other cereals too. -
[quote name='Kirwan']Tastes good probably because each serving includes half your daily recommended sugar intake.<br />

MMM, 17% sugar! Thats nearly half again more than the bottle of Mountain Dew in my fridge. When i started dieting the 2 things that went straight away were fizzy drinks and cereal. Will drink fizzies sometimes, cereal never. Horrible stuff. -
And Voltsy I'll bet I'm getting more protein from my cereal than Mountain Dew <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

Was going to head out for a run last night but got caught up posting on TSF about the Wobblies, and putting kids to bed thereafter. Decided I'd do it this morning instead at 6AM.<br />
<br />
So I woke up about 5 and couldn't really get back to sleep. Went downstairs and weighed in at 111.2kg and was quite pissed off about it to be honest, having been there or thereabouts for a few days.<br />
<br />
Got into my running gear and took out my anger on the road. Smashed out a PB of 5.42 km in 32:19 @ 10.06km/h. Took nearly a minute off my time of the other night, which was good considering I hadn't any breakfast on board at that stage, just fury.<br />
<br />
Back to the scales - 110.5kg. Feel better about that, and yes I know its only fluid and various bodily reactions, but it still made me feel better and that's what I'm after.<br />
<br />
DDO again today but I'll take it easy on the sweet stuff given I'm so close to my goal. 110kg by October 1 I promised myself, and see no reason why i can't hit that target and plan for the next one - double-figures. -
Dude you just did a 5km run!! that isn't anything to be displeased about!! maybe it wasn't the time you were aiming for but you did it. It will all add up in time.<br />
<br />
My advice for improving speed is to really focus on your breathing and technique - keeping your core solid and really pushing through with your legs. I found that after a few weeks or regular running (3-4 times a week, 5-7km) I could actually push a lot harder than I thought. It is a fantastic feeling when you get that rhythm going and it just feels good to be running!!<br />
<br />
Main thing when you are getting started is to listen to your body - I got the running bug and ended up with runners knee (bad case) which has screwed my running over the last 12 months - probably aggravated a rugby injury as well but it all came down to running too much. -
[quote name='NTA']yeah just a bit shitty I couldn't push through to 10+<br />
<br />
Speaking of which - lower back problems again. High just above the left glute this time (was the right lumbar area last time). Bugger.[/QUOTE]<br />
<br />
I fixed mine (over the course of a year) by starting gently with pilates, to build up some core strength slowly, then obviously working on core strength with xFit. Get that area right, and the lower back won't be an issue (unless your spine is fucked, but you seem to be describing muscular back pain)<br />
<br />
And of course you are already doing the obvious thing of losing weight to take the pressure off your back. -
Three words: Fuck Western Medicine.<br />
<br />
For the last 12 months or so, since I changed my diet to add a few mineral supplements etc, I've been pretty much bulletproof on the immune front.<br />
<br />
Went to the doc on Monday about a swelling I had under my jaw - he said it was some kind of abscess from shaving and that I'd need antibiotics. I'm not a big fan of them to start with, but having spent a week in hospital two years ago for ignoring a similar complaint, I decided to go ahead. Five days later the swelling under the jaw is down, but I start feeling my sinuses shit bricks, and now I'm hocking up crap and congested to shithouse. FUCK. Anyway, besides the sore back not allowing me to train, and now this shit forcing me to gulp down the fluids, I've missed my stated goal of 110kg by a whole kilo.<br />
<br />
On the face of it, I'm not super happy, but then when I look back over the charts, and see that a mere 47 days ago I was 115.8kg, I've got to be pretty happy. Nigh on 5kg over nearly 7 weeks is healthy and sustainable weight loss in my book. Now I just have to get over this illness and jump right back into it.<br />
<br />
The next goal won't be a specific weight - it will be monitoring a trend line to ensure I'm headed in the right direction ... or at least, not headed in the WRONG direction. You were right about the pants Bart; some of my fave pairs of jeans and shirts are starting to look a little baggy so I'll need to make sure I wear them out before they're too damn big! Well, at least some charities will benefit...
