Quote: Mr Bungle, Nov 2010I don't know if this has already been discussed as I used to not read this thread out of feeling ashamed, but what music do people listen to in the gym and while they exercise? Assuming you do, I know I simply couldn't exercise without my iPod.
My best gym music is Paramore, Weezer, Blink-182, The Offspring, Rage Against The Machine and Andrew W.K.
Always gets me going.
Have you thought about stir fry Barry? I know it's noodles but if you make it with herbs and spices instead of those packet sauces I think it's pretty healthy, it's pretty much the only thing I've been eating, plenty of chicken and veg in it, tasty.
To be honest rather than cutting stuff out (except the obvious, sugar, salt, cheese, snacks and the like) I've had the best results just halving the portions I would normally have. This has the added bonus of making restaurant meals look like absolute feasts rather than mild disappointments.
Now that I'm back in the gym I'm going to make a Slash playlist. All the best songs from GNR, Slashs Snakepit, Velvet Revolver and his recent solo album. Should get me going. Although I did use to listen to Smodcasts in the gym, but gonna try something heavier now to see if it pushes me more.
As for stirfry, thinking of that alright. I think my pasta and rice dishes are alright, just need to, as you said, reduce portion sizes. Not a fan of veg but going to slowly sneak some in when I'm not looking. While I have no problem with a bit of side salad rather than chips or spuds, actual veg has always been my downfall. Going to eat more egg dishes (scrambled, omelette) too, and wholewheat pancakes. Since I moved out of home I just find I'm not as hungry in the evenings, and even the boil in the bag rice is a ridiculous sized portion for one person, but you have to boil it all so end up eating it all.
Hence the bread. But I'm not even going to buy bread. Not even to make toast for the scrambled eggs, cos I'll just end up eating it because it'll go off soon.
Should probably cut down on my milk drinking too. Even though it's low fat, I do drink a lot of it

Zoë: Big damn heroes, sir.
Mal: Ain't we just.
