More fasting?

Fasting would be an easy way to do it.

And veg up and fat or carb or both down.

To get the calorie deficit. If you like feeling physically full the vegging up makes the calorie deficit easier.

Maybe do some cardio?

Weight training's not going to do much for weight loss in comparison me thinks.

For fat loss HIIT is good, and supposedly medium chain fatty acids prior to intense exercise (e.g. coconut, cheese, salmon), as that also promotes fat burning.

I previously wrote about all sorts of other things you can do too, like some apple cider vinegar diluted in water before meals, and half a grapefruit before meals, keeping carbs and fats separate, eating veg first, having some fibre/veg in your stomach before eating, like an apple 30 mins before main meal etc.

There's lots you can do to influence your actual processing of food, and storage or utilisation of fat. So it's not just eat less calories, although that obviously works too.

E.g. eat an apple, wait, then eat nuts, wait, then eat some carbs - would likely lead to less calorie storage than:
eat carbs and nuts together, wait, then eat apple

The actual calories in the food's the same, but second example would likely leave you more hungry and storing more fat.

I like to eat, so I find stuff like that helps. I like to fast too though, it's addictive.

Im struggling now walking today. Started back on squats on Wednesday. Oh I say poor legs. I've been recommended the Shortcut To Size plan and it looks pretty good. Gonna start Monday.

I ran a 42-minute 8k tonight (~53-min 10k pace). Since I only run about 5 mpw at most these days, I'm quite pleased with that.

I've just started adding longer runs (my weekly regular's 2.2 miles), so I have to be careful about injuries. I gave myself four days off last week for a blood blister. I read about wearing two pairs of socks to reduce friction, and that seems to help. It makes my shoes comfier, anyway.

So 

DDP Yoga.

I signed up to a sub today.
I need to get exercising, running isnt for me. 3 months works out a bit more than one month's gym membership so I thought fuck it.
I have been keen on trying something like yoga anyway.

I did all the Beginner Beginner tutorials today, takes about 45 minutes.
That set is an intro to the basic moves, throughout he uses chairs for support and says if you don't need them you can start on the Beginner 1.0  section. I didnt use chairs but stuck with it. It is actually a very good workout, I feel as if I have done a good hour at the gym but without aches and pains. The time went really quickly and I actually enjoyed doing it, something I would never say about the gym. 
DDP wont be for everyone but I found his instruction to be useful, encouraging and he always makes a point of showing multiple ways of doing the same move that will make it either easier or harder so you can keep up and ensure you are still pushing.

Honestly it's just nice to have hopefully found a form of exercise I enjoy.

I also realise how much I negated the Yoga by having what I done had in the Now Eating fred.

I've not done DDP Yoga, but from the little yoga i have done it's a really good workout.  My bro 'lent' me some P90X videos, and i remember thinking i'd try the yoga one 'cos that will be a bit easier than the strength ones'....i think i had to stop after about 15 minutes!

It is indeed the Dallas Page stuff.
If you got to the website it is region 0 dvds only.

The way to get it here is to subscribe. Download the app for free then choose subscription plan (I went for 3 months at £36 total).
Once registered you can use the app to access everything. You will also receive an email with a link to the proper website where you can login and get all the same as the app.

The app delivers a lot more than the dvds as well. If you have a heart rate monitor you can link it, you get a various weekly plans that can be customized, live videos, nutritional videos. You can also input and track weight, height, heart rates, blood sugar data.
I have done a few days of it and personally have found it to be superb. Before subscribing I looked at reviews and many said while P90 is good DDP matches it at top end but is much better at easing you in.

One thing he does exceptionally well is providing variations on moves to lower or raise difficulty. This means once you have done the intro video (The Diamond Dozen) you should be able to follow any workout.

I feel like it is working for me, being over 6 foot I have developed a bit of a hunch over the years, my posture is improving already.

Anyway, I'm on a break from here now so will report back in a few weeks.

Your legs seem to have gone missing.

Short trousers, see.

Find a hill and sprint up it ten times, do this three times a week.

and every time something annoys you to the point you want to write about it in the 101 things thread, do 10 press-ups.

Fuck that! I'd never stop doing press ups.

Do them properly though:

That can't be right I just did some of those and they're much harder.

I felt like I was making good fitness progress with the pt at work and then I went and bride my collarbone. I'm actually looking forward to getting back into the gym once I'm healed.
I think if anything for me I just need to work on my diet.
