I don't think I could ever live without pasta or bread, two things that make up most of my diet lol.

30 minutes on the eliptical. Weights. Kettleball shrugs. Pushups and then 5 minutes on the Stair Machine. Can't believe how that Stair Machine opens up the lungs at the end of a workout. OK, I'm pooped again........
30 minute bike ride, windy, cold, hill and grades, but it was outside. 590 calories, average pulse 138, max 151. I can continue to enjoy life (Penn State Ice cream).
Thank you Carl for opening this thread!
Today I had a day off so this was my Sunday morning exercise:
I run a 10km race @ 51'. I hoped to beat my the 50' p.b. but the route was quite difficult.
Yeah, it's hard, and I must say (as can possibly be gathered by all my references to German beer) I haven't given up beer! I haven't given up dairy, just bread, pasta, rice, other grains and legumes. This is the food pyramid I'm trying to follow:
My last serious gym workout:
15 minute warm up on bike;
Back:
Deadlifts: 4 sets of 8 reps: start at 60 kg warm up, then 100kg, 140, 160.
10 reps x 30kg bent over dumbell row each side; Up to 60kg in steps of 10kg.
Lat pulldowns, wide grip: 4 sets of 10 reps, starting at 80kg up to 110kg in steps of 10.
Chin-ups: 4 sets of 10 reps - just own body weight.
Move onto Chest:
Pre-fatigue with flat bench dumbbell flyes: 4 sets of 10 reps: 20kg warm up, 30kg, 40, 45.
Bench Press (flat) (with 12 dips between sets): 12 reps 80kg warm up, 10 reps 120kg, 6.5 reps 140kg followed by pec tear.
Move onto Doctor's Surgery:
1 x Treated for shock, 1 x MRI scan, 60% tendon still intact, 20 weeks x rehab. $600 x physio costs.

I workout 1 hour each day, 6 dsys a week. Today was 10 rounds of boxing, 3 minutes each, 3 minutes between rounds doing calisthenics/stretching lifting. Alternate between speed bag, heavy bag punching, heavy bag kicking.
I go low on simple carbs, except for beer and bourbon. Lots of fresh fruits, veggies, lean meats. Over 18 months burned over 200000 calories, lost 10 lbs , gained some muscle.
