Getting back on track
Some time ago I posted about entering a chaotic period, having lost weight (bad thing) and eating randomly and too high carb, and not getting exercise. I've regained my weight - I'm back at 76 kg/170 lbs - and my fat% seems intact (can still see my stomach muscles and I'm still a 32 waist). My eating is beginning to look like the Zone, if not even more lowcarb, and my girlfriend (the trigger for my chaotic period) has a better understanding of my diet now (important when we eat together most of the time). I've also reopened my subscription to the workout room (after 3 months break), and my power has not decreased much (ie. 4 pounds on free weights, and 10 pounds on bench press). And I'm teaching her to skate. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------- Michael Nielsen M.Sc.EE Music: http://mp3.com/archon2 Website: http://www.archonia.dk |

She doesn't have those things - she only has me as protection. Hehe, not failsafe, though: last time she knocked us both down! She lost control and fell in front of me, I caught her, and held her up making sure she'd lie down comfortably on her back without hitting her head, but this threw myself out of balance, and I had to sit down on her. Noone got hurt or bruised. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------- Michael Nielsen M.Sc.EE Music: http://mp3.com/archon2 Website: http://www.archonia.dk |

Noone got hurt or bruised. Ooo, make her get the padding. I went roller skating once without padding and hit a rock, flew forward and skidded, and had the most horrible road rash all up the front of my shin, and that was with jeans on too. The pain was excruciating. -- -Michelle Levin (Luna) http://www.mindspring.com/~lunachick http://www.mindspring.com/~designbyluna |

The pain was excruciating. Right now it is ice skating, so it's not so bad to fall. The weather is too unstable in Denmark for inline skating this time of the year. For inline skating I use hand protection only. You can benefit from learning fall technique (esp. forward rolling fall - which saved me a couple of times when I went down a steep hill when I was a beginner. My wrist guards had a deep cut in it!). And as for hitting a stone, you are not supposed to stand steadilly on both skates at a time, but to be able to shift quickly from one skate to the other. When I hit a stone which brakes the skate I stand on, the other foot automatically takes over, because I kinda fall onto it. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------- Michael Nielsen M.Sc.EE Music: http://mp3.com/archon2 Website: http://www.archonia.dk |
