It kind of sucks because if you look at it in the short term, there could be lots of fluctuation and the days I step on the scale like this morning where I lost 1/2 lb., it could be just water weight.

That's why I tracked it daily and looked at my graph. You can see the trend instead of the fluctuation.

Yeah, I'm reading that if you take in a lot of sodium that you'll retain more water.

Guess I'm not doing myself any favors drinking 3-4 diet cokes a day considering there's 40mg of sodium in each can.

BTW, I'm thinking of getting a heart rate monitor.  Is there a particular one that anyone recommends?

I found these two which seemed ok but didn't know if there was something out there worth getting that is better:

Didn't realize I could still edit previous post so put content in there instead of this one.

I don't think I'm allowed to delete my own posts, though, right?

Stay away from that crap. No sugar = no carbs = no calories....but there are a ton of studies about the negative effects of sugar substitutes on blood sugar and insulin responses. One or two every once in a while is cool...but 3-4 a day is absolutely awful. I bet if you cut those out, you'll drop another 6-7 lbs in a week or 2.

Sodium is good, but try to limit high sodium drinks to right after your workouts. Try to get your salt and potassium levels up after sweating it all out. My doctor actually told me I need to INCREASE my sodium intake. Best news I've heard in years as I love salt hahaha.

And I unfortunately can't help you on the HRMs...never used them. I just use my phone.

Well, Diet Coke has 0's across the board except for the 40mg's of sodium.  To be honest, I'm not sure what I'd drink except water then.  I can't just drink water, though, as I like flavor.  I guess I can always drink Diet Snapple, haha.

Yeah, I love salt, too.  I put it on everything I can.  I especially love dumping it on edamame.  Why do you want to get sodium and potassium levels up after a workout?  I thought you sweat out sodium when you work out and that it increases your water weight.

You can check your heart rate on your phone?

Some electrolytes are: Salt (sodium + chloride), Calcium, Magnesium, and Potassium. One school of thought is that you should replenish them after a workout. Though, like anything else..."experts" disagree on a lot of it.

Sweating out sodium doesn't increase your water weight. I'm not sure you're getting at.

Funny, because I'm doing this experiment right now.  Up through last Tuesday, I would estimate that, on average, I was drinking 4 or 5 12 oz. diet cokes or pepsis a day.  One 32 ouncer with lunch and 2 or 3 cans with dinner.  (I also have about 20 ounces of coffee every morning).

Starting last Wednesday, I've basically cut out the soda and started drinking water.  I am still drinking the coffee in the morning, but other than that, in those last 6 days, I've had 3 sodas total and one glass of wine, (and a metric effload of water ;)).  I'm not sure if I've lost any weight, but I definitely feel better.

I'm going to cut out the late evening snacks/desserts next.  Baby steps.  (Oh, and we're cleaning out the junk in our room so I can get back on the elliptical each day too)

I meant that I read on: http://www.truelemon.com/article/608-real-weight-versus-water-weight

" Excess sodium makes the body hold extra fluids in the cells. When you cut down salt and high sodium condiments like soy sauce, you can quickly lose water weight."

So, I'm confused because if you're sweating out sodium during a workout, I wasn't sure why you would want to replenish it.

Of course, the article says, "excess sodium," so I guess it's a matter of how much sodium you take in as to if you hold extra fluids in the cells.

Ah I gotcha. I don't worry about water weight. It's just water. I can gain 8 lbs in a day if you need me too...just like if for some reason, I needed to weight 150 lbs even by the end of the week...I could. But in the grand scheme of things, my real weight isn't affected much.

I'm no doctor, but electrolytes are important for a number of reasons...mental health, muscle health and function...etc.,

Get on the scale!

I stand on the scale, but then when I look down I can't see it.  Is that bad?

(Half) kidding. I actually did ... I weighed myself last week and it's the most I've ever weighed (285) and this morning was 282.  But I feel like that amount could be within a margin of error or something.  I think I'll just start keeping track once weekly.  Checking daily gives me the whole "watched pot never boils" feeling.

You're right, it's just water.  But I won't lie, those days I look down and I see the scale show me a number that is a good amount less than it showed me the day before, it makes me happy and when it shows a number greater than the one from the day before, I get frustrated, haha.

I still need something to drink besides water, though.

Yeah, when I jumped on the scale last month when I began my, "get in better shape for golf," plan, the number that stared back at me wasn't one I was surprised by but certainly one that didn't give me a warm tingly feeling - haha.

I like to check daily just to keep track of it and see my progress.  It can be frustrating but the day I hit under 250 I will be happy...until the next day when it will likely be over 250. :blink:

No you don't.

Well, you're right when it comes to physically.

But I'd likely be quite miserable if I don't regularly have something with some flavor when I drink it.  Haha.

Come up with a good protein smoothie recipe and incorporate it into your calories. Drink milk, drink (real) fruit juice. Some sugar ain't bad for you...just don't go overboard.

Get a magic bullet or a good blender and make your own drinks. You know exactly what's in it.

I drink a lot of fluids throughout the day and never thought about making my own.

It's certainly worth exploring and I imagine that it's not that much more expensive than a 12 pack of cans of Diet Cokes for $5.00.  Haha.

You figure protein is <$1 a serving, and you could realistically use 1/2 a serving. Toss in half a banana, and half a cup of milk. Boom. Getting fluids and protein...and it's delicious. Use skim milk and that's probably somewhere in the realm of 180 cals.

Don't think I can get away with skim milk.  My girlfriend likes 1% variety but I don't expect it makes that big of a difference.

Something like this seems pretty simple:

  • *1 medium banana
    *1 cup 2% milk
    *3/4 scoop of protein powder
    *1 1/2 Tbsp. natural peanut butter

    • I agree with @klineka & @DaveP043 above.  When a new member first joins the club they cold be told that they are not eligible for tournaments until they have an established HCP.  As you said, it only takes a few rounds.  If they do not to post HCP that was their choice and choices have consequences.  If playing in the tournament is important to them then they should step up and establish an HCP.  Maybe they miss the 1st tournament, is that a real big deal?  And if it is a "Big Deal" to them then they had the opportunity to establish the HCP. As for not knowing how to report for HCP I assume your club has a pro and they should be able to assist in getting the scores reported and I suspect out of state courses may also have staff that can assist if asked.
    • Wordle 1,013 2/6 🟨⬜⬜🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Thought I was gonna be a big shot today...  🙂    Nice Job!
    • Cool here's my tweak, "If a player’s ball lies in the general area and there is interference from exposed tree roots or exposed rocks that are in the fairway or 1 club length from the fairway the tree roots and exposed rocks are treated as ground under repair. The player may take free relief under Rule 16.1b.[But relief is not allowed if the tree roots only interfere with the player’s stance.]
    • I would never do the extended warranty on the $50 slow cooker.  I also routinely reject the extended service plans on those toys we buy for the grand-kids.  I do consider them on higher cost items and will be more likely to get one if the product has a lot of "Electronic Tech" that is often the problem longer-term.  I also consider my intended length of ownership & usage.  If my thought is it would get replaced in 2-3 years then why bother but if I hope to use it for 10 years then more likely to get the extension. I did buy out a lease about a year ago.  Just prior to the lease end date the tablet locked up and would not function.  I got it repaired under the initial warranty and would not have bought it out if they had not been able to fix it since IMO once electronic issues start in a car they can be hard to track down & fix.  They did fix it but when I bought out the lease I paid up for the extended warranty the would cover electronic failures because my intent is to keep that car for another 8-10 years and I just do not trust the electronics to last.  Last week the touch screen went black and was unresponsive.  It reset on the 2nd time I restarted the car but that is exactly how the last malfunction started.  I fully expect to have a claim on that on repair under the extended warranty.  I do not recall the exact cost to fix last time since I did not pay it but I think it was @ $700-$800 and I suspect that will be higher next time.
    • Have you looked at Model Local Rule F-9 Relief from Tree Roots in or Close to Fairway?  You could extend this to cover exposed rocks.  The rule is recommended to be used only for areas relatively near the fairway, a player who hits a shot 20 yards in the woods doesn't really deserve relief.   Players can always take Unplayable Ball relief, they're not required to play it from a rock or a root.  Of course, they hate to take the penalty stroke too.
