I can't picture myself in a John Smedley without doing those!<br /><br />People talk about the French Paradox, but I think they have it all wrong. For me, the paradox is how do you guys walk so much without ruining your cool shoes??Supermodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16441428489565098268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7003549771029270052.post-17904981261605507492012-01-05T03:46:54.722-08:002012-01-05T03:46:54.722-08:00OK Carlos, you know I have struggled with this ver...OK Carlos, you know I have struggled with this very issue for a while so a few tips from experience:<br /><br />* Adidas tracksuit indeed the best choice: basic, functional, if not exactly gorgeous is reasonably classic.<br /><br />* I also have successfully pursued hood strategy to try to be sneaky while running outdoors ...imagine how difficult that was when was living across the street from the Orbit Room!<br /><br />* Abandon hope for decent footwear, there are no even okay looking shoes okay to run in unless you are sure your feet are super duper sturdy. I gave myself two stress fractures trying to run in Sambas which seemed the best option, may be okay for soccer field but not treadmill or sidewalks! Just go to a running specialist shop and buy the ones they counsel you no matter how awful or else you may ruin your feet for non-athletic footwear in the long run...<br /><br />* To avoid depressing yourself looking at the offending footwear, make sure if there is a mirror on the wall it cuts off at your ankles... Sadly harder to avoid looking down if you're running outside.<br /><br />* Non style tips -- but will make sure you look even better in tailored wear: <br /><br />(1) Make sure to do weights or calisthenics like pushups, situps and squats a couple of times a week in addition to the intervals on the treadmill, 10-15 minutes each time is all you need there unless you want to try to rival Victoria for superfitness (a lost cause anyway)!<br /><br />(2) For diet, agree following some type of tracking or formal program is good vs. winging it -- Studies show it doesn't really matter so much which one -- Loseit as mentioned as well as Sparkpeople and Fitday good online ones for tracking, or there are the classics like Weight Watchers, South Beach, etc. to try if you need more structure.<br /><br />* And last but not least...come visit again soon! You guys can walk tons to work off all the wine and cheese :)Gabshttp://gabs.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7003549771029270052.post-44330293450441015172012-01-04T07:33:00.437-08:002012-01-04T07:33:00.437-08:00@Colin, I knew the soccer/football fans would have...@Colin, I knew the soccer/football fans would have suggestions! I found this which looks pretty nice for jogging in: http://www.toffs.com/Escape-To-Victory-Tracktop/productinfo/9055/<br /><br />@Jose, thanks! I plan on going to the gym 3-4 times a week, but it's going to be tough these next 2 months since everyone else in the world will also be going. I'll look into New Balance as well!<br /><br />@Skorpeo, did you just 'out' Jodie Artichoke? I always pictured her jogging in 1968 Biba workout gear!<br /><br />@Mrs K, 8 pounds of baby weight? Geez... what's my excuse for the 10 pounds of Christmas food weight?? Oh yeah, Christmas food. (And I know you're pain about running into people while jogging... remember where I live!) And now that the holidays are over, we need to set time to visit with you, Mr. K, and the Children K!<br /><br />@Eric, yeah, I was surprised FP didn't have more since they're basically sportswear. Thanks for the loseit.com tip. And congrats on the weight loss!

They also have a free mobile app. It's basically a calorie database and counter. You put in your age, height, weight, and weight loss goal and it calcs how many calories you can eat each day. You can also input exercise which gives you negative calories based on the exercise. My wife and I have lost 25 and 20 lbs in 5 months. It's a slow-ish process and you have to stick with it and be patient, but that's probably for the best anyhow - rapid weight loss programs rarely are successful in keeping it off.

You think when you live out in the burbs that it doesn't matter what you wear running, until you realize that you live in the mod retirement community. I have too often run into Sarah and Russell, John & Selam (all within a mile of me) while in my running gear that I shall say isn't so hip. That will be my new year's resolution, and I will be losing the last 8 pounds of baby weight with you.

...ditto what colin said about the carbs and sugar.<br /><br />working out is not a pretty business, and i don't think looking pretty should be a concern. (looking GOOD, however, is another kettle of fish...!) <br /><br />a lot of the mod gear was not designed with comfort in mind. that's not to say you can't be comfortable while looking sharp, it's just the fashion comes before form. wearing some great looking trainers for working out, and not taking into account the design and purpose of the shoe, will have your shins declaring anarchy. think about it; you're going to get sweaty anyways, wearing a fab workout suit is really just putting lipstick on the pig (no reference to the author or reader intended). jodie artichoke, of diabolik/smashed-blocked/mod chicago dj fame would wear a hoodie sweatshirt to go jogging and pull the hood tight; no one knew it was her and her stylish street cred remained intact!<br /><br />of course, you could just do what they did in the '60s and take a handful of uppers.... o_OThe Sardonicisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10613335243397436645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7003549771029270052.post-43405255773335648452012-01-03T10:27:56.898-08:002012-01-03T10:27:56.898-08:00Great topic.

Exercise and diet wise....what works for me is Football (soccer), Gym at least 3 times a week (30 min of cardio each time) lots of water, vitamins, snacking on veggies and fruit. Low fat Triscuits and Wheat Thins are also some snacks I dig.

Gazelles are good all around trainers. For warmup jackets, tops see www.toffs.com . For quick weight loss cut out the carbs, sugar, and alcohol switch to a high protein diet. I dropped 70 lbs in 9 months that way.Colin McCawleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02144192624405678939noreply@blogger.com
