Somehow I made a weight jump from 80lbs when I was 9yrs to 130lbs when I was 10yrs.

I remember 5th grade I was 112 and 120 was the cut-off to carry the football. It was a coin flip every week if I was under or not with pads on.

Whereā€™d were you guys when you graduated high school? I was about 125

648

I graduated at about 180.

649

Im at 180 hoping to graduate at a lean 200. 2.5 more years to go. Highschool sucks.

9 stone sounds way more bad ass than 125 lbs. from now on Iā€™m saying that I weigh 12 stone!

I was 10 stone (140lb) at age 16 and remember my brother in law being 12 and a half stone (175lb). I really wanted to be that heavy. Funny thing is 28 years later as I drop weight for this transformation I will likely end up at 12 and a half stone. :joy:

Down to 175 after a decent sweat, 180-182 first thing in the morning. Cardio is getting easier to tolerate, Iā€™ve been figuring out how to breathe out of my mouth without it making me feel miserable. Sounds stupid, but I think trying to force breathing through my squished nose exclusively keeps my heart rate too high and I wuss out too quickly. A lot of my avoidance of cardio seems to be anxiety/mentally based rather than actual physical complications. ā€œIts all in your headā€ is finally starting to click a bit :sweat_smile:

I know itā€™s in my head but I still canā€™t push myself while running anything other than a sprint.

I canā€™t zone out. I canā€™t enjoy it. I just hate it! I feel every miserable step and breath.

Iā€™m the same way. If you have time to walk, try the barbell strategy (a financial term, donā€™t you love that):

Oh, Iā€™m not running. I will avoid running as thoroughly and totally as possible. Iā€™ll skip it regardless of peer pressure, convenience, or really anything.
Tyron Woodley has the only relatable attitude Iā€™ve ever heard about running. The rumor is the only reason he runs in a training camp is to increase his hate of his opponent because his opponent ā€œmade him runā€

Iā€™d like to think I still do enough conditioning for overall health - I just canā€™t run an eight minute mile anymore.

:laughing: thatā€™s one way to look at it. Iā€™ll probably just stick with basketball.
