Hey Brawny- good work on keeping the "eating out" to a fairly good choice - ...yup - U kept a risky-business potential to a "controlled" deviation.....Good Job !....( Retreats always better than Total Surrender ! ) .
 
I agree, well done on turning this into a positive point!! You ate a tiny bit over but you dealt with it in the best way possible. go u:)
 
Way to adapt! Adjusting the plan to make up for something a small as a forgotten lunch is a great sign. How's the biking been this week?
 
Hey Brawny,

Life has a way of coming at us at point blank range...so way to adapt! Have a great weekend! I won't be on here much over the next week, so I wish you good choices to you!

Hello Amigos!


Well I havent posted in a few days because I was down with a stomach bug....a terrible but effective way to lose weight.


Weighed in...283.6 down a pound and a half or so. Also 283 is like my bodys stopping point for some crazy reason my body likes to hang onto this weight so.....Im gonna try and step it up this week to push through this weight fast...I am shootin for at least 3lbs off this week.


Rode bike this morning...feel much better than friday and Sat.
 
Ramped up my bike riding this morning...did well


Busy busy at work today...will try and hit yalls threads later.
 
I am sure you will blast by that 283 marker! That sucks about being sick, I was just commenting on my diary about starting to get sick with a cold. Colds don't help you lose weight tho! In fact, you usually want ice cream or slurpees to soothe your throat!! Hoping it goes away fast.

Good luck!

More like a biking manic depressive...ha


I am actually kinda embarassed to state how short my rides are since my re-start. I was doing 10-12 miles last year and even more than that back in 09.


But I am taking the old man's approach this time. Going for slow and steady progress. This morning I added 3 more minutes on. I felt great and could have gone more but I didnt want to overdo when I am just now getting a bit of momentum. My Rocktober goal is to incease by 2-3 minutes a week all through the month. That will put me at abot 40-45 minutes which will be pretty good progress. If I can get down into the 260s (maybe in Nov?) I have hopes of starting a bit of jogging. Its been a good 10 years or more since I could do that.
 
Slow and steady is where it's at my man. If my reverse math is right you should already be around 30 minutes which is great already.


Another great idea to wait til 260ish to start jogging. I did a bunch of walking until I got into that range and my knees were thankful. Too bad I forgot how much pressure running can put on the body last month....
 
Hey Brawny - - SUre &Steady - that's the Pace - It's a Journey - NOT a Race !

Good plan to increase time a bit each day/week - less likely to get an injury....keep it Rolling !

What would a Manic-Depressive Biker look like?..... Happy Bike-Bad Bike ???..... Glad-Bike/ Sad-Bike....ok- enuf .......
 
Maryann It would be depressive/manic biker...depressed trying to get myself to crawl on it then manic by the time I get off. I always feel better after I exercise.


Ok I have a minor victory and a minor defeat to report.


Victory- Had a very good day yesterday...felt thinner this morning soooooo I tried on my size 40 pants...and they fit fine...I was at the place where my 42s were too loose and my 40s were too tight and I have broken through that one. reclaimed a belt hole too.


Defeat- This happened so fast I didnt know what hit me. I was up early to ride bike so I decided to make my kids lunch for them (I dont do this every day). Well we had some left over burger patties so I decided to make my boys burgers for their lunches (big athletic boys, eat lots and lots) well there was one patty left. It just jumped into my mouth! It happened so quick I had eaten it without thinking that that was like 250-300 calories that were not on my plan.....Now I gotta pay for it. Oh well in the past I have done much worse. Sigh...I will fight this forever...but thats just the way it is.
 
Arrrgh - the elusive Mexican-Jumping Burger !! gotcha in the early morn' before you had Ur wits about U !...that sucks.


~ ?? example of "fat folks" genetics at work ( I think our elbows flex sub-conciously to bring our hand to our mouth- our Brains are not involved.... lol.)

...so - to Burn about 300calories on Ex.bike - approx. 1/2hr ? - Better get peddling eh ?...... ( and don't buy anymore of those magic-Jumping burger patties...lol...they'll be Your ruin .....)
 
AI hear ya about always thinking like a fatso. Here's a story I have shared on here before... So a long time ago when I was at my heaviest I went to an all you can eat Chinese place for lunch. Well as I am getting out of my car I notice another fat dude getting out of his car.... I rush to beat him in the door! Like they are gonna run out of food or something!...... Curse this fat boy mentality!
 
Been there. In a trick of karma, the gym I used to go to had their treadmills facing a huge window that looked out at the chinese buffet that enabled me to build up a huge energy store of fat.


I remember running on the treadmill chanting to myself "Let's go fatty" and cursing that buffet. To be fair, those buffets do run short on items from time to time and heaven forbid we'd have to wait an extra two minutes for more to come out on account of some other dude snapping up the last 8 egg rolls.
 
I know...I Know...(laughing and crying at the same time


Report- Kind of a bad day yesterday...let us speak no more of it.



Today has been lots better....Added 2 more minutes on the bike. Passed up a free lunch beffet trip and fixed a healthy wrap instead. If I can survive the homecoming bonfire/hot dog supper tonight it will be a good day.
 
AHey Brawny, jumping burgers, chinese buffets, manic/depressive bike rides...your posts are always so interesting! You are on the right track..slow and steady is the way man...I'm sure slow, most of the time steady..and I'm getting to my goal, one pound at a time...it's not a race, it's a journey! Congratulations on getting into the size 40's! One belt hole at a time! Good job! as for yesterday...I think it was a world wide thing...yesterday was not a great day for me either...so today I'm starting my day right...posting on here and going to the fitness center in a few minutes when it opens!
Good choices to you man!

Anyone under 30 years of age can be thankful they have no idea what I'm talking about...
