How to tell if you are too old or too out of shape,

[Anti-Hero]

or need yoga or something?

Ok so I got this 1970.5 Camaro that is one of my projects, this car was my best friends through High School, last year he gave me the title for it and said Happy Birthday! Hell yeah! So I have been doing a lot of welding/body work and put the motor back together and such. Second nature stuff. Well last night I did the stereo, stereo IS NOT second nature! And what I learned was that a person 6’2 -240 lbs can fit in a trunk of a 70.5 Camaro to install an amp on the back wall of the back seat. But that same person me in this case soon becomes trapped like a rat in a cage when the amp is installed and I try to get out. So there I was like a fish out of water flailing around trying to contort myself in to positions that were not meant to be, all I wanted was out, I did not care if I was cut by screws hanging out or if slammed my head on to the concrete, at this point I do not care! So I took a break, and think hey, I could all Jeff for some help, but I picture him laughing his azz off at my dumbazz, nope that is not an option! So I used the turtle method (yeah that was just made up at that point) to get out finally, this is keeping your head tucked so that your back and shoulders take up the impact of the concrete floor as you crash out from the trunk, next time take it to the stereo shop and let some 19 year old kid F with it.

How do I tell I'm too old or out of shape? I went to the Dr. yesterday and those bastages put me on a scale. I hadn't weighed in 2 years. HOLY HELL!
Then I went home & looked in a mirror - again, HOLY HELL! No wonder it's getting harder to get laid.
The last time I wanted to get rid of 110 ugly pounds I got divorced. Now I have to diet.
Any advice?

I've had pretty good success at losing weight when I want to (the hard part is keeping it off). Lost more than 60 lbs two seperate times.

What works for me, and it may not for you, but I spread my calories out over 5 or 6 "meals". This allows your metabolism rate to keep going throughout the day rather than having peaks and valleys. So, for instance, say you want to consume 2000 calories a day, eat 600 calories for breakfast, have a 200 calorie snack at say 10, then 600 calories for lunch, another afternoon snack of 200 calories, and then another 400 calories for dinner.

I also take a free day, one day a week. This allows me to get those things that I'm craving all the time, while also allowing your body to avoid a plateau. It's easier to convince yourself that if I make it to Sunday I can have a cheeseburger and fries than having to say I'll never sniff another twinky in my life. You will be much more successfull if you give in every once in a while.

But eating is only half the equation. You've also got to excersise. I do a combination of lifting and cardio. Lifting builds muscle which helps burn calories 24 hours a day. Cardio helps heart rate and get so you aren't exhausted so quickly. Start slow and gradually work up.

But, as I said, the hard part is keeping it off. You have to look at it as a "lifestyle" change not a "diet". So, you can lose 50 lbs or whatever, but you have to continue to eat healthy and work out, or trust me, you'll be right back to where you were in 6 months if you don't

Geez, hero you could have called me.
I would have helped ya out.
Of cource I would have taken about 3 billion pics to post about the dumb azz that got stuck in his car, but I would have helped ya out.

I had to go in for a tread mill test last week to check out my heart and such. This 20 somthing chick looks at me and says, given your age we don't expect you to be able to get to a heart rate of 151, but if you could try that would be nice. Been a while since I wanted to throttle someone that much. Oh and I held 165 for 3 minutes just for spite (bout killed me to).

You should have told her to lose the treadmill and pull the shades and you'd show her what a heart rate is!!
