stayin in shape?

I had a thread like this a couple weeks ago. I lift weights 4 times a week and ride the stationary bike for an hour 5 times a week. I love waking up, drinking some water, eatin' a banana, and puttin' on the first 4 Metallica albums and riding hard.

One of the top ten in the best feelings ever category is smoking some good weed after a hard workout. Yesterday I could barely lift my arms over my head after my lift, smoked a bowl of some lemon drop g13 and was well on my way to recovery after that!

i eat lots and lots of soy, wheat germ, nuts,rice, apples, bananas, juices instead os soda, lots of water, along with wide array of vegetables, all organic.
I do the Treadmill at the gym, tons of sit-ups, ride my bike, lift weights, and i do tae kwon do and have a second degree blackbelt. Being 50 hasnt slowed me down at all.

When you get the munchies make sure you have a bag of apples handy, some nuts, cashews, etc etc.
Being a cannabis stoner makes it very importnat that we eat right because we do find ourselves more hungry than most others in the population.
Pumkin seeds, sunflower seeds, etc etc are all swell snacks.
Stay of of fast food joints.
stay off candy as much as possible.
No soda pops
an ocassional decent potatochip is fine, with a great homemade salsa.
Lots and lots of h2o

I don'[t play any sports at all. Never been miy thing, but in when there isn't snow on the ground, I go mountain biking everyday. They have kickass trails around here that go for miles on end. Last summer I did 20km daily, and in 3months, I had ranked up 750km on my bike speedometer. It's a good time!

I used to kickbox, but never got around to competing. I may get back into it now that I'm settled in my new home.

Right now though, it's kind of frosty and slippery outside, so biking I do not attempt, so I go walking everyday. I walk everyday to work because my job consists of me sitting down mostly, so I need to do something to keep my heart going, otherwise I'd fatten up again like I once was.

i don't exercise as much as i should since it got to cold to ride the bike trails, but every other day or so i run around with the dog in the yard. he likes to try to keep the tennis ball away from me and loves being chased, and he is quick so its a good work out. i am going to get a membership to a 24 hour gym next year because i am fatter than i prefer.

I use to play a lot more sports then i do now because education takes up so much of my time. Plus, i have a job now so that doesn't help. I try to keep in shape by walking a lot, not eating that much food and doing press ups and sit ups. I need to do more running but i hate it so much and it's really cold outside these days. I can't stand exercising while high either so i have to do it before i blaze.

i forgot to mention, beans. eat lots of beans. I like to chop-up onions to put in mine, with other hot spices.
To make them a more handier snack i will make a huge pot of them, then i will freeze them in serving size containers so i can just pull them out of the freezer, nuke them, and serve them with tortillas. MMMmmmm good.

I did smoke a little with my sister last summer when we had the cannabis on hand for her to use for the chemo symptoms. And I smoked back in college. I enjoyed it a lot. But it did seem to relieve me of a significant amount of IQ points. And it also robbed me of a considerable amount of my motivation to accomplish anything, too. If it were legal and easy to obtain, I'd be the first one in line to get some. But right now with the other stuff I have going on in my life, it's just easier and safer for me to wait and to be a cheerleader on its behalf instead.

just out of curiosity, i mean we can all be smart when we want to
but do you actually think that smoking weed can lower your i.Q if so is there any proof behind this?

i dont know birdgirl....i smoke and it doesnt rob me of my motivation to do anything..i think that is one of those individual user things..same with the brain cells..i am very smart, very educated, very motivated, pretty active, and a daily pot smoker for approximately 5 years now...

someuser....i was introduced to marijuana for use during my chemo..i can honestly say i think it saved my life..for me, marijuana was better than anything else out there for my nausea and vomitting..i continue to smoke marijuana in lieu of certain medications...

many scientist have said cannabis has given them more insight, musicians claim that it slows down time and that we are able to fill that void with another note that might not normally be there, i have met fellow vets who claim cannabis heightened their awareness in battle. Some of the world smartest people have used cannabis. Some of the worlds dumbest haved used it. Then there are those of us who like to feel we are somewhere in the middle.

dai*ma:stoned:
they say 3 % of the people use 5% to 6% of their brain
97% use just 3 % and the rest goes down the drain
I'll never know which one i am but i'll bet you my last dime
99% think i'm 3% 100% of the time:(

I certainly don't maintain that cannabis robs everyone of motivation. Only that it did that with me. That was very much my personal finding with weed. And I suspect that that depends on what strain people are using, too. For instance, the weed I smoked with my sister last summer was Indica-dominant, which is known to cause the unmotivated couch-lock syndrome. It certainly did that with me. In her case, that was perfect. It relaxed her, relieved some of her physical pain, helped with the nausea, and improved her appetite. It made me hungrier than normal, too, and made me mostly want to lie around and giggle and do little else.

As far as IQ depletion is concerned, I think that's a side-effect that varies from individual to individual, too. Storm Crow and others have posted threads in the medical area citing studies that show that occasional use doesn't seem to have any effect on IQ but that heavier users (defined as people who smoke more than five joints a week) can indeed show some indications of lowered IQ. In my case, it slowed down my thought processes, kept me from being as quick-witted as I normally am, and caused some aphasia, where I could conceive of what I wanted to say or write but couldn't actually articulate it. Since I was working as a professional speechwriter back during that time, that was a definite drawback for me. At the same time, I think it definitely spurred my creativity. That is, creative concepts and ideas came to me in new and noticeable ways, and I thought of several ideas for inventions and recipes during those toking periods. So that was fun.
