Shannon Smith traineo Newbie Posts: 20 Shannon Smith Sweets did me in. Evil little tarts aren't they? My goal? Become fit and healthy. No white flour, no white sugar, and to focus more on health than "zomg it's so yummy though!". Change my body, change my mind.	# Posted: 9 May 2008 12:03 So because I live in the desert I'm no longer able to run outside in the 90+ degree weather, so I run in place. My question is, as silly as it sounds is could this cause brain damnage?

I have strong legs, eastern european calves, and like to lift things my boyfriend thinks I can't. A busy and constantly changing schedule make it hard to get into and stay in a workout routine. I'm a crusader for medical scientific truth in nutrition and weight loss discussions and I heart fiber.	# Posted: 9 May 2008 13:39 no
Angie Hudson Fitness Guru Posts: 648 Angie Hudson I am using the Zone way of eating (www.drsears.com) to attain my target and increase my wellness. I'm losing weight for my health, energy, and for my friend's wedding so no one mistakes me for Ms. Piggy's sister.	# Posted: 9 May 2008 13:52 Are you being serious? Why would running in place have more impact than regular running? If running in place causes brain damage, wouldn't regular running too?

Dave Nicholson The Master Posts: 2078 Dave Nicholson I'm basically trying to get in shape and be healthy... diaryofthefatman.blogspot.com I like participating in sports but I want to be more competitive. Also I'm with Kevin Spacey from American Beauty - good reason :) I'm looking to lose about a hundred lbs in the course of a year, and basically to just consistently get better. And I love comments and messages, so keep 'em coming! I talk about goal setting a lot, how about I actually set some? Well it's time to revisit goals... I didn't do too well with my end of year plans, but learned some things and changed my plans up a bit as I went along. During the 5-7 weeks of the year, I was able to put on about 8-10lbs of muscle, and stay at the same actual weight. The plan is to start the Strong Lifts 5X5 program to supplement the Couch to 5K program, and that should last the next 8-12 weeks. I'm updating goals as well. Lowering cholesterol remains a goal, and I'll find out about that at the end of August. Been bouncing around a bit, but getting a little stricter again and will monitor that over the next 3-4 weeks. I feel poised to really lose some weight again, so I'm looking forward to the healthy eating and additional exercise.	# Posted: 9 May 2008 17:28 hehe... hehe... this is my favorite thread ev-ah

Ah right, I forgot that the internet forum was the place for a timely reply. For shame, I did not realize this paragon of comedy immediately. I'll make sure to check back regularly for barbs from stand up bean. I wouldn't want my all important e-rep to falter.

Change my body, change my mind.	# Posted: 12 May 2008 04:53 Well running in place did me in this morning....I started to get a very bad cramp in my lower belly which twenty minutes later lead to be being ashen color laying of the floor between my parents bedroom and bathroom as I had collapsed onto the floor. The paramedics were called and my blood pressure had dropped to something like 80 over 86, very low, and low for myself in general as I'm usually in the 120's. A healthy range. Aparently something is wrong with me and the exercise is making it worse. I'm not supposed to run or do anything that might provoke a reaction like this till I get to my doctor something this week. See...running in place can be bad. Looks like I have my answer.

Angie- No, actually we believe I have endometriosis or PCOS (which my mother has and can be genetic) which can be aggravated by working out which would explain a lot of other things that have been happening to me for a while. I'm still pretty freaked out from what happened yesterday and not to mention tried and feeling like I've been beaten up so I think I'm just going to do light weight lifting and walking coupled with focusing more on what I'm eating and how many calories to help me lose the weight.

Extremely low blood sugar can even cause seizures. My friend has to be very careful when working out; she had a crash similar to yours at work once after weight lifting at lunch. You should educate yourself on how to better control or reduce your insulin response, which will in turn hopefully make working out a much better, and safer!, experience. Good luck.

As a girl who's watched her mother suffer with it and is now going through something like it I can relate on both a physical, mental, and emotional level. I truely do understand it though I'm always willing to learn more. As for it affecting blood sugar well that's not something it's known for. Though you could create a family tree of like symptoms for it, blood sugar levels will always be effected by what you eat, so will insulin levels. But PCOS won't affect blood sugar levels. Thanks again for the well wishes and I hope you friend is better! I always find it interesting how many different turns a topic can take, changing from this to that. haha.
