(banjo music in the background) Well, I decided it was time to get back on the wagon today, beer drinkers. I pulled my a$$ off of the couch this morning and put the daughter in the stroller, and ran a 2.35 miler around the neighboorhood. It was a long 3-4 weeks of limited to no activity. Hunting season zapped me for working out. Grad school is piling up. Oh well. This morning the fires were stoked deep within. I will get out and work out. My plan moving forward is to find a marathon plan to build back up to marathon miles and intensities over the winter. When I hit the spring, I'm going to complete a good HIM plan moving towards next fall. I think I'll try to throw 2 swims and 2 spin bike workouts in centered around 4 days of running, different distances and intensities. I weighed in at 188 after breakfast this morning. Got a little work to do.

Dude I am right there with you. I was 183 lbs when I left for holidays 12 days ago. Last night I was 196lbs. The beer was good but I gotta say no more for right now. There is a weight loss group going on in Tri'ing for Weight Loss. I joined up. |

Wow - that's a pound a day. Sounds like you got your money's worth out of your vacation. And that is what it's all about. I too have weight to lose. Stepped on the scale after a bad 5 days and had gained just about the same amount per day. Not good. Let's move forward together. |

The IPA is outstanding, but the Pale has a wierd Metalic after taste. They also have a brown and a white something or other in it. pretty decent. I haven't tried it... and unfortunately I'm not a member anymore. Even if I was - MASS has a stupid law that chain stores - like BJ's and Sam's Club, as well as grocery stores can only sell alcohol at three of their stores and not all of them. FUBAR! I'm back on track diet and exercise-wise. I managed to get a decent 10k run in yesterday although I was supposed to go 9. Good that I didn't because I did something to to my knee and to my hamstrong. It felt good enough today for me to get in a quick bike ride. God, I love those crisp autumn days (did you guys get snow up there in the great white north?). Tomorrow - with the goal of avoiding the dreadmill - I'm gonna try something different. Instead of driving to the gym for a run and a swim, I'm gonna try to run when I wake up at 4:30. Then when I finish, I'll drive to the gym for a swim before heading off to work. With that said - it's time for bed.

Ditto that...I weigh the same but not for lack of trying. When I did the 100 miler I wanted to know the weight difference and found I gained 6 lbs that day WTF! Anyway, I have done some Zumba classes and tried a long run but nothing too serious...gotta get back on the wagon...feel more like I am under the wheel right now. But then ol' mister grad school shows up, Kevin, and I feel bad because I am taking one class and it seems to be either I do my homework or work out but I can't seem to manage both. Thank gwad I have you guys as life lines...you don't even know! |

Expert 4269 | Subject: RE: bigDH's accountability training a.k.a Beer Drinker's Appreciation Society I had a nice ride today - really tried not to push it but I couldn't help it. It was out and back and I flew down the hills. While I was pleased with the time, I look forward to the day when I can crank out 17-18 miles in an hour. Sure, I want to be faster - but to be honest, a faster ride = more beer. While watching game 1 of the world series, I enjoyed: 1) Shipyard Blueberry Porter (great balance of blueberry and chocolate malts), 2) Jacks Abby's (A local brewery) Pumpkin beer, and an IPA from a brewery in South Carolina made with Brett. Life is good! |
