Ghoulie September Core Challenge (Page 48)

Same here.

I spent yesterday working on a manual review of 524 items on my computer. My computer was SUPPOSED to be excluded from forced reboots last night. I came in this morning and my machine had been rebooted overnight, so I had to start all over again today. What a waste of time, and my patience.

Aack!  Frustrating!

I think we just need to head to Robin's and get started on that champagne

Afternoon Ghouls!

Works for me. I'll grab some pizza and wings on my way there. Do you want to get the onion rings?

What's up Kim?

Consider it done.  See you in a bit

Gettin er done toppage!

Hi Kim!

Not much this afternoon. Did a bit of *work* this morning, researching what I need to do to set up a LLC. Then ran. Now I am bored. 

Hi IronNeal. How are you feeling? 

Lazy.  I've done absolutely nothing since the race

A well-deserved nothing. You put it all out there.  Are you going to frame your finisher's medal? When you get around to taking it off, I mean.

Hi Most. So it's back to aqua-joggin is it? Definitely worth a case if you're going to be in there on a regular basis.

BTW, if you think you are fast.........a cop flashed his lights at me today. I'm pretty sure it was just a warning. Actually, I think he'd passed me a couple times previously and felt sorry for how slow I was trudging along.

Problem with low carb is that there are metabolic disturbances...so sure you will lose weight, but you might end up with some unexpected metabolic effects and crappy other side effects. Metabolic consequences like elevated LDL...no studies have been completed to actually determine if serious end point events (MI's, stroke, etc) exist as a result of low carb diets....but hyperlipidemia and MI/stroke are highly related...so ya...

I do agree with you...but people don't like balanced lifestyle approach...haha...

Now I am investigating for my case...looks like acute liver failure due to acetominophen ingestion plus chronic alcoholism...

Look at all the stuff I am learning...

chronic alcohol intake + large quantities of tylenol = bad news bears...

Also...obesity...non-alcoholic steatohepatitis(NASH)...new epidemic cause of liver failure and will soon be #1 reason for liver transplant. NASH=bad news bears. (BNB)

We had a discussion today if they will have to impose requirements on people requiring liver transplant due to NASH. Kind of like how they require that alcoholics stop drinking for 6mo. before they are put on the list...so should obese individuals requiring liver transplant be required to furfill requirements of a "healthy livestyle" (ie. 10% body fat loss) before they are put on the list? Our preceptor's husband is a pediatric surgeon and he had to remove a 14yr old girl's gallbladder last week due to gallstones...her BMI was 37 and they did a liver biopsy and she already exhibits grade 1 inflammation in her liver...they figure if she stays on this course that she will require a new liver before she is 25....

My sprint  tri last Saturday went okay.  It was a small one put on by Parks & Rec, but it was nicely done.  The weather turned out nice.  Sunny for the swim, and had clouded over by the run but no rain, no wind.  Since it had rained for several days leading up to it, and then started raining again Saturday night, the break was quite welcome.

This was my first OWS tri.  The swim went pretty well.  The water was very pleasant temperature. a little faster than I had estimated so I was pleased with that!

The bike had 2% & 3% grade hills that I was not expecting!  Had to walk the bike near the top of a few.  Crud. But the downhill was straight so I could let it fly! (well at least fly for me, I think my max was 33 mph).  The bike was a little slower than I wanted but I was not prepared at all for those hills.

The run (jog) was not what I had wanted.  The bike hills had beat me up, so my jog pace was about 30 seconds/mile slower than I had planned.  Oh well.

My total time wound up being about what I had estimated overall.  What is funny is that I won a medal.  1st in my AG --  of course I was the only female over 50, so I was the only one in my AG --  LOL    lots of fun anyway and very nice people!

My next event is a 10K on October 3rd.  They close one lane of a bridge over the mouth of the Columbia river.  We go from Washington state across the bridge to Oregon state. 

The bridge is 4.1 miles long, the total race is 6.2 miles.  Most of the bridge is flat and just above the water.  The last 1/2 mile or so rises 200 ft up so ships can pass underneath.  That should be interesting!

I understand that wind is a definite there at the mouth of the Columbia.  We will see if it rains, too!

Hey ghouls! One last check in before I go to bed. (Well I'm in bed...so sleep.) Got home from practice...only 3050 today...but there was a good amount of sprint work. BNB. Haha. My shoulders and lats are a tad angry right now. Got home...scarfed down dinner and now I am in bed...need to recover for tomorrow!

Good morning Ghoulies!

Nice job on the tri, Dee! Good luck on the run, let us know how it goes!!!

Only a 3050 meter swim, really Melindy?
