Team Skinny - Back to School (Sept 08) (Page 8)

Hey there skinnies.  I left the last skinny thread at 163...went on vacation...now I'm back at 166.  Obviously, had a great time with the food and beer  Got in a few runs and swims in, but overall did alot of lounging  Don't really have any goals set for the month.  I have a tri on Sunday and the Big Dam Bridge ride next weekend.  So, I'll jump on October's challenge and keep this month's goals to just get back to 163.

My weight on monday was 244 my weight today was 242goal for next wednesday 240 and 236 by October first. I think I can do 2 pounds per week. Is that reasonable?

Oops....forgot to weigh in this morning. Will check in with current weight tomorrow.

Hmph!  What do you know?  I gained a pound.  Up to 122.6 from 121.6.

My weigh-in for today: 178
Down 3 lbs.

(Goal for month = 10 lbs)

still at 205

Specially if they are cold....I'm in!!!

Comet,  I helped you out and filled your weight for the rest of the year.

Thanks I feel prety goos about 2 pounds a week right now. As I get closer to goal I'll probably cut back a bit.

Glad you are not my neighbor Sherm or I would weigh 200 lbs.

Never a huge fan of the swiss roll, but give me a Suzy Q and then we would have a problem

Oh lord Shermmie is getting a fan club.  He will probably write a book "Lil Debbie diet and workout".

OK skinnies...I've found a new diet.  First things first...you must be somewhat afraid of scary, mean dogs.  Second, find a nice route with a few of the said dogs along it.  Third, go for a ride.  I had to battle 5 dogs on my ride last night.  Dog #1...no problem, just spooked me a little.  He didn't even come out into the street.  Dogs 2 and 3 work as a team.  The white one barks like a maniac and the shepard mix runs along side you and nips at your ankles while showing his beautifully whitened teeth.  No worries.  He fades when I squirt him in the face with my water bottle.  (that takes a little coordination btw)  Dogs 4 and 5 also work as a team.  Little jack russell looking thing is bigger around than he is long.  He'll never catch me.  His partner, curly headed off-white dog is serious.  All the way from across the highway into my lane, in front of me, the along side.  I can't out run him, so I'll squirt him.  No dice.  He's still growling and the water has no affect.   I yell at him.  It just eggs him on.  He's in front of me, I'm swirving, traffic is behind me, and I'm sure they are laughing histerically at me.  He cuts me off a few more time, almost went over the handlebars, but held on.  Unclip, kick dog.  It just pisses him off.  Ok, I'm gonna die.  Try to go fast again, but have nothing left in the tank.  For some reason, he quits.  Just walks back across the highway.  Next up, small gas station...stop and puke. (the puke part is where you lose the weight)  Now, how the H E double hockey stick am I supposed to get back to my starting point.  You got it, right past the same dogs that just tried to kill me.  I am so very lucky to have lived thru the ride last night.  Now, I get to do it all again on Sunday during the triathlon.  Oh yeah, I started off the ride by unclipping my left foot and leaning to the right.  We all know where that leads...

Sorry to hear about the dogs... Can you bring mace with you, or even a spray bottle with some tabasco or habenero juice...

Yesterday, had a 3.5 mile walk on top of carrying an extra 35 lbs. Today it is day 4 and tonight I have my first round of yoga... all 1 hr and 32 mins. of it. I'm pretty sore all over though. Everything hurts.

Maybe I'll take some of these Little Debbies on Sunday.  Surely if I chunk a Little Debbie at the dogs, they'll stop to eat it and I can get away.  Thanks for the idea guys
