Expert  925    Timmins, ON. Canada |  Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Appreciation Society 2 - ClosedBill- great brick, I only run that fast off the bike in my dreams! Alex- I have not had trouble loading my workouts! Kevin- sorry to hear about the flat, but glad you got to vent some frustration with an angry ride... As for the beer, absence makes the heart grow fonder! |

Expert 925 Timmins, ON. Canada | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Appreciation Society 2 - Closed Got the brick in today and I am really happy about that. Our daughter was a little cranky getting in the stroller, and we probably should have pushed our luck. About a km into the run she lost it, I am sure anyone who heard her must have thought we were torturing her! So we picked up the pace and got her home for a nap! No beer today because I went a little overboard on the Mojito's last night, we have a mint patch in our back yard and I thought setting up a Mojito station for a small BBQ we hosted was a great idea! It was a pretty good idea until this morning.... Haven't felt like that in a while. At least I got to sweat out some of those toxins today! |

New user 180 Auburn, AL | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Appreciation Society 2 - Closed Glad to see everyone is doing well. I'm at a stand still while the cut (loss of a large chunk of skin) on my foot from my last race heals. I hope that I will at least be able to get in the pool by the end of the week. |

Veteran 706 Illinois | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Appreciation Society 2 - Closed Recapping last week: New PR for run mileage, at 40.5 miles, including a 14 mile long run, which is insane for me. My legs are about dead, so going to take about 48 hours off from running/cycling, and then back at it on Tuesday. The last 15 miles this week were misery incarnate. This week should be a recovery week . . . but . . . I have Rev3 Dells on the 11th, so I plan to taper next week, so I'm just going to burn this week to the ground, and then recover / taper next week. My weight and diet have been all over the place, for both my wife and my self. This month has also been full of unexpected expenses, including a last minute trip to New Mexico that got canceled (very much to my, and my pocketbook's, detriment), so hopefully August will be a bit more under control My weight has crept back up, despite my workout load, which is almost unbelievable. I'm going to refocus, starting today, set a baseline weight on 8/1, and go from there. I can foresee a few bad days this month (housewarming party, celebration after the two Oly's), but I should be okay. Also, housewarming party on August 17, if anyone is in the area of the northwest suburbs of Chicago that afternoon  |

Expert 925 Timmins, ON. Canada | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Appreciation Society 2 - Closed Charles- great mileage! I made some pretty gutsy goals for myslef on my training log dashboard that I am nowhere near, but if I can glean some motivation off of you I may have a shot! Is this Rev3 you first of that series? I was thinking of doing one as a vacation/race next year. You'll let us know how it goes I am sure! Lastly it is only a 15hr drive for me to get to Chicago! So are we doing potluck? What can I bring |

Expert 925 Timmins, ON. Canada | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Appreciation Society 2 - Closed Alright BDAS'ers! Here are my goals this week! Please help me stick too them! 1- Log my food!

Expert 925 Timmins, ON. Canada | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Appreciation Society 2 - Closed 199.9! man what I would give to see that by the end of the week. Unfortunately in my case my week would have to involve losing a limb or contracting some crazy jungle virus to have that happen! I did step on the old scale of sorrow here today and I am at 232.2....with a body fat percentage of 32.7! Yikes!!! (Anyone else use these body fat scales? I am wondering how accurate they are, it was only 50 dollars from Canadian Tire,so I am thinking it may be off a little.) Alright so an addendum to my goals....to be under 200 by September 9th....my 31st Birthday.... So that is 6 weeks away, which is more than the safe 2lbs/week...blah blah blah...... I have to do something here folks otherwise its not going to be good in the future... 32.7 percent means I am obese.... and I have to get real about that.... I think it has gotten this bad because I don't have a horrible self body image, but the odd time when I do catch a glimpse of myself in the store window when walking with my wife and family I do see it and think to myself "Hey whose that fat guy walking with the pretty lady and her daughter?" ....'"Oh right, It's me..." Anyways this is turning into a horribly long rant, annnnnd a bit of a pity parade... just needed to get it out there... |

I have one of those scales, a nice digital one, and it seems generally accurate and pretty consistent. The numbers seem accurate against my freebie fat caliper I got from bodybuilding.com, so that's something. I feel your pain - seem my rant a few days up. In that vein, I propose a challenge - all the challengees weigh in on August 1, and we see who can do the best for the month of August. Any takers? We can do it a couple of ways - total weight lost and total weight % lost. No sandbagging the night before - so put down the pizza and beer |

The good:As long as it is consistent who cares! You know what you need to lose! If you want to spend the money, go for a dunk test. I did one....very neat. Justin, after you catch a glimpse of yourself in the window, look down at your daughter and ask yourself if you want to be around when she graduates, gets married, etc, etc. It worked for me. That being said I've gained over the summer. I have been back on the weight loss train. Down 13lbs as of today. I am shooting for a race weight of 190 and an offseason weight of 200. I am in for the challenge. Percentage/total, don't matter to me! |

The highlight was seeing the same guy running his dog I've seen several times. Ran behind him for about a quarter of a mile before kicking it into high and went right on by. ran a 7:40 mile for that mile! |
