<p>I’m not sure but I think if you did a survey here you would find a fair amount who eat eggs regularly - I know I do! One egg, soft boiled along with other not too carby items is a typical weekday morning breakfast for me</p>
<p>I eat 1 hard boiled egg every day.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Yeah, that was the eye opener for me, too. It’s the secret to any power move in athletics: any kind of jump. Tackling in football, etc. It’s intutive to think that we have to bend our knees, but it’s just the opposite. I applied it to box jumps – jumping from the floor up to a 16 inch weight bench. Much easier with the hip hinge.</p>
<p>Here he is teaching it in a newer seminar:</p>

<p>Thanks, Idad. </p>
<p>Re eggs - I’m not a huge egg eater but I don’t demonized then the way I used to. When I travel, I’ll eat scrambled eggs to fill me up. I do order egg white omelette for dinner at times.</p>
<p>Gym workout – 1/2 running & 1/2 strength training</p>
<p>I like my scrambled egg with cheese and a little bit of milk mixed in it.</p>
<p>Yay. Back to the basement. Not dizzy, although I did take it slow getting down to the floor and back up for some of the exericises. I even made it through the TRX inverted rows. Horizontal looking up at the ceiling and moving would be a trigger for sure. No problem – other than the difficulty of the exercise!</p>
<p>Core:
Farmers walks (two 50lb DBs), side plank rows, front plank pulldown/rows.</p>
<p>Power:
Med ball slams and KB swings</p>
<p>Strength:
Single leg squats, TRX inverted row, hex bar deadlifts, alternating overhead press (DBs)</p>
<p>Have really upped the volume on cardio workouts. Try to get 45-60 continuous minutes of running, biking or elliptical. And at least 2 days a week of interval speed work. Not MOWC territory, but getting there. A lot of you have shamed me to start running outside in the cold weather. I guess if you dress properly it isn’t too bad. The first step out the door is the hardest.</p>
<p>Thank you for the videos, Idad.</p>
<p>“You guys are so inspiring. I am decarbing today after the weekend and am wondering–what’s the latest on eating eggs?”</p>
<p>Just ate 2 for breakfast. 
I eat 2 eggs every day, and I have never subscribed to the egg-demonizing theories.</p>
<p>Someone up the thread asked for training/nutrition programs for runners. This is what I do - nothing really special. I eat about 1800 calories a day (but I do limit my carbs intake and especially sugar), give or take a few, have a fairly active lifestyle (never had a cleaning person for our 3000 sq ft house or a gardener for our horse acre while workig full time), and train for my runs using the Marathon Rookie schedules.</p>
<p>Thanks, BB. You’ve obviously had some success with your method! I’ve bookmarked that site. I may end up using the 10 week plan. </p>
<p>With carbs, I find that severely restricting them inevitably leads to a binge for me. I just don’t have the willpower to completely say no to pasta or bread. That said, I’m no longer eating such huge quantities of those items or eating an entire coffee cake or dozen donuts on my own. If I don’t buy it, it’s not around to tempt me.</p>
<p>I eat a lot of eggs. I like baked eggs with spinach and parmesan if I’m feeling fancy. Most days, they’re just hard boiled. :)</p>
<p>No workout on Monday–traveling all day. Today was a day with my trainer. I’ve been working with her for 30 minutes 3x a week since I’d been off for so long with my bad ankle. I decided to go back to 2x a week for an hour. </p>
<p>Started the new 60 minute routine today. Today’s workout was–TRX rows, flys, and pushups with stair climbing in between (2 flights x2; we also did kettle bell work and lots of stuff on the Bosu ball (I realized that I really need to keep working on balance because if I don’t, I lose it quickly.) Doing goblet squats on the Bosu was really tough. Followed training with 3 miles on treadmill (45 minutes).</p>
<p>Back in Cambridge for a few days. Will join the gym in RI on Monday. (This running back & forth stuff is making me a little schizo!) I brought my workout clothes so I can get over to my favorite outdoor running trail here. Been trying to especially watch the carbs since getting back from NYC - that makes a big difference to me. (H doesn’t buy it; says calories are calories.)</p>
<p>I’ve been making an omelet with egg substitute, arugula, & feta for breakfast. Quick, easy, tasty, and low cal. I find a breakfast like that with protein stays with me longer than something carb-based.</p>
<p>That omelet sounds delicious! Any particular reason you use egg substitute??? The “calories are calories” talk is the talk of many people. Usually not the ones though who have found success the other way!!</p>
<p>Ran 5 miles after work last night. I ducked out a little early, and didn’t turn the headlamp on until after a mile. It was REALLY dark on the path and I didn’t see one other runner after the very beginning. It’s safe, but it feels strange being out there all alone in the dark (with my music). It’s neat in a way. Wore the Lulu puffy pullover from last year. I REALLY like feeling warm.
We had ice this morning, and even though it has gotten above freezing now, I don’t trust the shaded areas so I’ll be on the dreadmill after work.</p>
<p>MOWC be careful out there! Your night run reminds me of a passage in a book I once read–apparently this guy and his young son did an epic wild run up a mountain path in the DARK. The dad was sort of unbalanced (manic?) and the son (who wrote the memoir) was horrified to find out in the morning that they were just steps away from running right over a cliff. I don’t remember the book’s name or the author!</p>
<p>All this cold weather exercise!</p>
<p>Trainer and swim again today. This was pretty pure training, with just some rehab stretching by me at the end. IM day for swimming, so less yardage, but more fatigue. My arms were trashed after the weights which made for some feeble fly.</p>
<p>Not sure about weight loss, but I pretty much agree with their second point: I get done with my calorie burn faster. :)</p>

<p>6 mile treadmill run @ 9:58 pace</p>
<p>Now I need to go forage.</p>
<p>30 mins on the track followed up by 10 mins on the rowing machine. Brought my 80 year old mother with me to the fitness center this past weekend and she was on the rower - reminded me that I don’t mind it, so figured I should incorporate that a little!</p>
<p>Thanks for all of the comments re: eggs! I plan to make some omelets at night to eat next day for breakfast. I don’t mind cold leftovers.</p>
