Weight Diary Day 297 - Eleven Things

[FredericaBimble]

Try running on the balls of your feet. The natural way to run is on the ball with very little contact of the heel with the ground. There are a few videos on Youtube which teach you how to run like an elite runner. I had knee problems and that was when I was using a "heel strike" which isn't the best way to run. It will feel like your calves are on fire at first but it gets better. My knee pain disappeared on the very first day I used the balls instead of the heel.

[superaletta]

hahaha sei troppo carina quando parli italiano!! bravissima continua così =) Sai, anch'io sto provando a perdere peso, e perderlo per tutta la vita... è una guerra molto difficile, e come te l'ho già fatto molte volte, ma ogni volta riprendevo tutto il peso faticosamente perso. Ma sono fiduciosa che un giorno riuscirò a farlo per l'ultima volta.. per la vita!!! ciao baci

[myfairladyxo]

that is really weird, because i have those same shoes.

and it led to my knee pain when running.

i really think it's because of the mesh and there is no ankle support, which automatically lets you roll your ankle inwards.

i hope this works out for you!

what exactly did you do to avoid the inward rolling?

[antishay]

I bought new shoes, lol.

During this run I just kept conscious of how my leg was rolling and didn't allow it to collapse inward.

[weightloss30]

=))

I can certainly tell you're so cute...pardon...married man

=))

but still you're cute

[avarielle015]

I'm doing the 7000 in 7 days too! I know what you mean about everything being calmer after you exercise. Its the same way for me too.

[antishay]

WOW ugh I couldn't do that now.

[avarielle015]

Yeah it's pretty tough, I have 3 days left and approx 2300 calories to go :)

[eyecand00this]

It is 74 degrees here in Austin right now! You'd better get here before it gets too hot.

[antishay]

HAhaha I'm sure it will be HOT when I go.

[singwee]

Aww i dont live in Texas ):  haha

[kristea0337]

Yay! TX meet up! That would be awesome! Let me know.

But, oh crap! The weekend after Easter I am supposed to have my parents here & possibly do a 5K. Poop!

On the plus side, I just realized Easter is on my birthday this year. This happens pretty rarely so I'm excited. Maybe it is a good sign. I hope so. :)

[antishay]

That is the suckiest thing I have ever heard ever. ;___;

I NEED to meet you! Well we're hoping for maybe a Friday night and a whole Saturday. I leave from Austin on Monday morning, so we'll try and work something out.

Maybe I'll head to Dallas/FW (somewhere) during the beginning of the week? We'll see.

<333333

[kristea0337]

I know, right?!

BTW, I meant to mention this earlier, but when I first saw the title of this vid I thought is said "Elven Things." I was like, "What the H. has Shanti gotten into now?!" LOL But, hey, if you want to be an elf, that is fine with me, I'll still be your pal. Hehe The LOTR elves were pretty hot, so it might work. :)

[antishay]

LOLOL I was Arwen for Halloween??

:P

<3

[SadiyaDurrani]

omg hun.. my trainer told me you're supposed to change ur runner every 6 months (after i told her mine were 10 yrs old) lol.. especially if u're running! but yaaay new shoes!

im thinkin about getting a gym pass. and ive been thinkin about SFC auditions but im more a watcher than a vlogger.. i dunno if i could make the jump lol and i couldnt do any like half-nekkid body shots or anything hehe

[antishay]

I <3 my gym, but now that I run outdoors I almost never go there :/ I am trying to start doing classes, so that may change. I LOVE my gym, at least!

I can't wait to get my new shoes.

[manolomandi]

Aw I live in Dallas, I'd love to do a meet up even though I don't know too many Youtube people very well yet. Not sure if I could get to Austin though, but it sounds like you'll have a lot of fun

[antishay]

I'll let everyone know when I have more details... then you can decide. You should come :)

[Slim4Iife]

Italian eh? I know very little Italian. Grazie, Prego, Bono, Bonazera, LOL I'm a dork :P

Thanks for sharing you always have great stories. I enjoy them.

Congrats on the running. I'm proud of u!

I think running takes you to another world. Peace and the road in front of u.

Keep it up!

Cheers,

Mari

[antishay]

HAha <3 Italian!

Thanks :D

[myskinnymission]

Way to go running again. you definitely need new shoes. i know that here in my town they have a running store where they have you run on a treadmill to find out where your pressure is on the shoe and they find a shoe that is perfect for you. i am sure they have those in seattle, if they have one in Eugene Oregon. It is definitely something i would look into if i were you. Good luck with finding new shoes.

[antishay]

I will :D Thanks!

[wwgirl17]

I definitely tend to burn 1,000 calories every time I go to the gym. But I'm always doing either zumba or spinning. I feel that exercising really allows you to really THINK about life in general, and reflect on what you've been doing lately, and that's what I love the most about exercise... THAT aaaand seeing progress.

=]

I'm pretty certain that exercise is medicinal.

fifty degrees?! seriously??? it's around 15 degrees in freakin' virginia...

btw, you need to come to the east coast sometime :D

[antishay]

I would love to see VA someday :D

[7llazaren]

Hey, I never vlog...but I'm 3 hours away from Austin.....Always watch and would love to meet you and others..............

[antishay]

That would be awesome :D

I will know more soon and will probably be scheduling something with Al soon.

[Phoray]

I don't get my webcam till next week! when do the auditions end? :/

[antishay]

Sunday

[Phoray]

bummer... guess there will be another challenge eventually. Got a real life one to start this Sunday anyway! ^^ would have been cool to do both.

[trulyjess]

1. I love you

2. You look absolutely radiant and beautiful...I hope you know this:)

[soonfully]

[thesiegster]

[antishay]

[Jazmine375]

WTH.. it's not letting me post the rest of my comment.. grrrrr

[Jazmine375]

I love Italian..I understood about 3 words of that .LOL sad considering I have had tons of Italian friends, who spoke it all the time. and spent tons of time over 4 years in the home of my friend ..whose family spoke only Italian at home. I maybe picked up 5 words in 4 years LOL so sad. YAY for getting back to running..so happy for you.. 19? wow..yeah, I'd say it's time for new shoes LOL Can't wait til I can workout again..when my foot heals..booo..no clue how I broke it. I miss it!!!!!

[narcissisticfatchick]

[antishay]

Austin! <3

[alibetoro]

TEXAS!?!....hmmm

Austin, Dallas, Houston...

[antishay]

Austin :D

[Emelystrange6669]

dallas????

[antishay]

I'll be in Austin :D Maybe go to D/FW for a day or two, but I'd rather stay in Austin.

[DeathOfAFatMan]

Ah endorphins they are for sure your friend! I know they have me addicted to the gym. Though I can not wait for the end of the cold weather! Your doing great, and glad G man helped get you motivated!

[antishay]

Yay!

[tbossbone]

i think you need a new jogging suit ---

pink!

[antishay]

OMG

[maggyruth]

Yay for new shoes! I'm x whatever the going to a local running store to get your gait analyzed. And running shoes use for running only. I LOVE buying new running shoes.

[antishay]

I will be doing that, and yeah, my gym shoes are only for running :D

[primus567]

So where in Texas? Just curious :) I won't be going to any meetup, because I'm a new subscriber blah blah.. but just curious.

[antishay]

I'll be in Austin. :P

Why wouldn't you come?

[primus567]

oooh cool.. I live in Austin. best place in texas :)

I'm too shy for all that =/ Otherwise, I'd go.

[Tishy205]

omg you're such an inspiration!! I'm doing my own weight loss plan and I want to thank you for motivating me :)

[antishay]

Yay! Thank you so much <3

Good luck!

[jammim1977]

have you gone to a local running store to have your stride checked? from there they can recommend the right shoe for you to run in.

[antishay]

I haven't, but that's what I'll be doing when I buy the new ones :D

[darcbutterfly]

I completely understand how you feel about working out and stress relief. It definetly helps me too! I went for a week without working out a couple months ago and I just felt like a ball of stress .

[antishay]

Ball of stress!! :O

I can totally relate :P

[paul20072007]

Good decision to replace your shoes. It's not only the time in use, but some of the high tech impact absorbing materials deteriorate with age.

I agree about the stress relief aspect of exercise. Anything that gets the endorphins flowing. Or ar serious runners say "hitting the wall". I was somewhat lazier, I used to get the effect from motor racing. When the immediate concern is coming out of the next corner with car and life intact, all other considerations are cleared from the mind.

[tfms]

"hitting the wall" usually refers to the point where you run out of glycogen and you are literally out of gas...endorphin release is usually referred to a "runner's high" but as in your example anything that your brain interprets as an emergency will clear the clutter in a hurry

[antishay]

That's my understanding too :)

[antishay]

Thanks Paul :D

[simplystrick]

scetti and a meatabol!

glad your knee let you run again!

[tfms]

Couple quick comments...1) doing some weight work for your legs can help to stabilize your knee, 2) with regards to exercise and mental well being ...studies have been done comparing antidepressants and exercise head to head with exercise alone performing as well or better than the drugs ... keep on truckin'

[coquinat]

I really adore your workout clothes. What brands do you like or material? I got new running shoes recently, must remember to show them in my next video!

livemochadotc0m, you'll find people to talk to in italian!

[antishay]

Thank you! :D I get most at REI or used sporting stores that sell REI - most of it is sweat-wicking which means that my body stays dry when I workout (a MUST HAVE for socks and tops).

I'm big on smart layering - so sweat-wicking stuff against the body, then fleece, then an insulating layer. So much yay!

I got the top I was wearing here (blue) from Old Navy - they're having a sale on all running clothes right now :D

<3333

[CocoaPinkUk]

Hello, Sorry I just began watching you. I am wondering what is wrong with your knee?

[antishay]

I was running on it wrong and the patella and lower bones were all hurting a lot as a result :(

[nycita25]

Hi Shanty! what kind of multivatimins are you taking if you do??

[antishay]

I don't - I try to eat balanced and get all my nutrition from my food. I eat spirulina a couple times a week and that's it.

[michiganlover]

1000 calories a day burned at the gym?? Wow!!

At my current weight, that would be 120 minutes of high intensity exercise. 2 hours!!

Wow, great for him if he has the endurance to accomplish this!! Yay!!

It's great that you are getting back to running, you seem to really enjoy it. Exercise gives us such a rush, I CRAVE it. :)

[weightywonderwoman]

You look so happy after your run. I am pleased you can return to running.
