Health - 27 February 2007

I am 21, 199pnds, 6ft. Ive been working to get back in shape and Ive been running for about 30-45 minutes a day (5 times a week) in the morning, then lifting @ night around 5pm alternating days with upper body/lower body.

Ive also changed my eating plan completely. I dont eat out anymore, I dont drink soda, or sweetened drinks.

My average food intake looks like this:

Morning: Oatmeal w/raisins
Snack: Nuts or Yogurt
Lunch: Chicken and a salad with italian dressing
Snack: Nuts or Yogurt
Dinner: Salmon, Steak or Sushi

and I drink about 4 glasses of water a day.

Is this the right plan to stick with? I mean I never really eat after 10pm anyways and really can stick to my workout schedule. Is 5 times a week good enough to start shedding excess fat?

I suffered bulging discs at C-5, & 6 from a car wreck 6yrs. ago. My neurosurgeon told me the damage was not major enough for surgery. After 6mos. the pain was no better so I got a 2nd opinion and was told the same. So I've basically suffered ever since. But since I started having children in the past couple yrs....the pain is now unbearable. By 5-6:00 every day, I'm lying down w/ a heating pad on the back of my neck. All these local docs wanna do is get me addicted to pain pills, which I hate the idea of.
Also, one of my neuro's called it degenerative disc disease, but I was injured in a wreck. Is this the same thing? Anyone else suffer like this? Any insight?

When I do bicep curls with freeweights, I can do 15 lbs in each hand. When I do them on the bicep machine, I can only do 15 or 20 lbs total. Why is this?

I usually wash my hair every other day. If I go any longer, however, my hair tends to get really greasy and I develop this terrible itch. My scalp gets so agitated and I can't figure out why. It isn't just during the winter, or summer, or any other particular time of the year.. just when it gets greasy. Anyone have any suggestions on what might help? The itching sometimes gets to the point where I'm scratching the spot raw.. and I don't want to go see a dermatologist unless I really need to. Let me know, thanks!

I dont know why she does it. She does it when she thinks I am not looking? I worry and wonder if there is something wrong with her. Like OCD or something. Should I confront her about it and urge her to seek help or just leave it be and keep pretending that I dont notice?

I am about 6'5" and I cant dunk! Just last week I started doing some of those work outs to work on the calves and thigh muscles, apart from that I was just wondering how much of a role flexibility plays in my vertical leap. I need just another inch or two to be able to dunk nicely.

As of right now standing and bending over I can get a little over half way on my shins, its actually some improvement. I added into a basketball class at my college a month ago, and we play two days a week. So I think that has got me stretching a little bit.

But should I be even more flexible? Like touching my toes or the ground? And if so are there any particular stretches besides bending over and regular stuff?

I do a distance learning course, so i'm in control of most of my time and i don't have anyone to push me from behind. Some mornings, though, i wake up and i just don't feel like studying. it's not that i don't like my course. i love it, but even a coffee and 7-8 hours sleep don't seem to work...
