Our daughter is joining the Navy and needed a little weight loss (8 lbs). I posted various things in NextDoor (social networking site some of you may have). Ok so I started various threads as I worked a healthy diet of a low calorie type. You should have seen the Keto fans jump up and down frantically! Especially as i worked out a simple 27 calorie bread stick so she could have something crunchy to replace potato chips.... She's hit the weight loss and a bit more, now working on running faster. |

I try to limit it to once a week, it's high in calories and not exactly cheap, even here. But SO delicious. I think I put on 2KG in the past week. We visited the wife's home town, and she caught up with old friends and family she hasn't seen in a long time... out comes endless bottles of beer and food - this was happening 2 or 3 times a day, each time we bumped into somebody else, OMG. I finally got to see my wife's land which is way out in a rural area, acres of rice fields. We're returning home today, thinking of taking the train just for the experience. Will be nice to be back in our own bed again, and to recover from eating and drinking so much. |

There's so much I could learn from you. Pffft. [ObFood] About a 1" thick by 4" diameter beef tenderloin steak, canned Del Monte brand Italian green beans and chicken Rice-A-Roni. We do eat other starches and vegetables, but apparently not when I'm posting "tonight's" meal lately. Other than the tenderloin, the rest is what we call, within a narrow range, standard fare. leo |

If you ever did farm work, you would wash. No toilets or sinks out there. Now if it is something I grew myself, especially fruit from a tree, I wouldn't bother. Stuff like lettuce, I would still rinse because...bugs and dirt. |

It sounds from the way that her posts are written that her daughter can't seem to do things on her own. Just my take on it. Angela chose her own career path and she has been responsible for her own diet and exercise since she was about 13. She has lost weight on her own with a diet she devised. I do still cook/bake for her occasionally and help her with cooking when she asks me. |

She dug out plenty on her own and ran the usda.gov calorie lookups on those. Unlike some here, we cook a lot and enjoy talking about what we are doing. Hence recent messages have included prices and calories for some of the stuff we have made. |

Sadly, I am the only one here so they won't let me get one to hang on the porch to fully ripen. I loved the trains in Japan! |

Don has to have low sodium so we pretty much cook that way. Charlotte's version is more handy. https://ship.kroger.com/p/0983082277...ed?psrc=search 1 ts is used on dried out cooked rice (tucked in fridge overnight) 2-3 ts olive oil Whatever we got green that was mean to be green, about 1/2 cup 1/2 cup carrots, cut to small or shredded so it will cook/fry fast Green onion or chives depending on yard garden (dried chives in winter) Togarishi Schimi (sp?) - A sort of interesting chile blend, works well Works out as 312mg sodium per 1/2 cup serving. |

I don't see any sort of vermicelli mentioned, either. Should be browned in the oil and/or a combo of oil and butter first. That's if you're making anything like Rice A Roni... :) Jill |

Best we can tell, they don't teach calorie counting like they did when I was a kid. I missed that then fixed it. I do not care what the 'diet' is. If you take in more calories than you burn off, you will gain. |

> > She's hit the weight loss and a bit more, now working on running > faster. Carol, If she's doing this on her own, it will be hard. I can help her a lot through you if you want me to. I was a pretty good competitive runner (top 8% overall) for years and this is one subject I know well. First she needs to meet her goal for running...either time or distance. In the beginning, you just run as slow as necessary to either run a certain amount of time or a certain distance (all at one time, no breaks inbetween). Minimum runs should be 20 minutes without resting. For serious running do this 6 days a week but not 7. If she's doing longer distance (like 3 miles or more), she should run it all with no breaks. If she can't do that, she's just running too fast and should slow down. Once you get your distance, it's time to speed up. Two ways to do that - One is to do speed work on a track at a local school. Very boring to do this on a track. Equally boring as using a treadmill at home. Best way is called, "Fartlek running." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fartlek That should inform you of it but I haven't read what they say. That's where you eat lots of beans the night before running. JUST KIDDING. That's an odd name but it's the very best form of speed training and it works very well. Let's say if Charlotte is now running 3 miles at a time at a pace where she can talk normally while running and not gasping for air and also maintains a steady pace...no stopping for the 3 miles. Next come speeding up her runs. With the fartlek, while she still does her 3 mile runs...every once in awhile she should speed up to running all out (the faster race pace), just as fast as she can run for just a block or so. After that sped up block, slow down to very slow running until you recover but DO NOT STOP running. You just slow way down for another block then resume running normal speed. Once fully recovered, do another high speed short distance. Bottom line here. Once you start running, don't stop at all until you've finished for the day. Don't ever stop and rest...not cool. You can slow way down but never stop. This is a very basic overall. If you want more tips for her, you can email me privately or just stay right here on this OT subject. If we communicate here, maybe we can annoy Jill again that just wants to "talk about food and cooking." LOL HTH Carol. Feel free to ask anything to help her with the running. Let's help that girl get into the Navy!~ |

When I went to Boot Camp about half the skills needed had to do with being in water; a lot of swimmiong, on the surface and under water, diving from heights and jumping from heights while keeping one's head above water, using ordinary clothing to fabricate flotation devises... all good information for civilians to know;; even the Navy white hat can be used to trap enough air to keep someone afloat with little effort.... knot the leg ends of pants to make excellent water wings. A good deal of training is about how not to panic... most drownings are due to panic. We did a lot of calistenics and weight training, but not a whole lot of running, not much marching either, there's not much space to run/march on a ship. and no digging trenches/foxholes... however there's a lot of climbing on ship's masts. Mostly we learned about the chow line, fussy eaters wouldn't survive. Also a lot of training on knot tieing, polishing bright work, swabbing decks and painting... I'll bet I'm a much better painter than Hamburger Gary, he'd be too ascared to go up 80' to the top of a mast or over the side in a bosn's chair to paint while everything is a rockin' n' rollin'. I doubt many of yoose would last long in rough seas (maybe 3 minutes), with nowhere to hide, day after day, 24/7. I've seen a lot of big strong men crying, MOMMY, MOMMY. while praying to a terlit. |

Let's help that girl get into the Navy!~ Thanks Gary! Will pass to her. I was never a good runner when in the Navy. You reminded me of some tricks that I was told. I knew about the not stopping and the 'long reach pace' in spurts. Grin, we can stay here and have more folks telling me it's not her goal but mine! (it isn't it's hers). She wanted USAF but the entry physical tests are harder and when she asked, there was something on pull ups which she never managed even in HS gym class. Just not built for them I guess. Anyways, she swapped to Navy and has been peeking at ratings. So far she likes YN, PS and CS. Suits her nature. A couple of others but those seem front runners. OS might be good? Preliminary AFQT test was 85 estimated so she'll qualify for quite a few ratings. She's scheduled her ASVAB for 12April. |

She's 151.5 right now and doing a breakstep diet one day a week (so she doesnt set point too hard). It wasn't really anything major. More like she didn't get taught about calories and that if you take in more than you burn, you gain weight. She now knows now how to count the up in a rough fashion and when I am cooking, I work it out so she knows how much is sane on a food we made. She picks what to eat now with a better idea calorie knowledge is all. Back when I was in JH/HS, this was common knowledge taught in school. It came along with what foods might make pimples worse (based on knowledge of the times) and general healthy food pyrimids (of the times).
