I threw my T shirt in the garbage when I came home. That fucking fast food stinks - seriously. Toxic clinging agents and all. It's a fucking conspiracy I tell ya.

Hey, I rode my 26 today. Now that blew the animal fat off me *winks*

Ever watched the Movie "Fast Food Nation," Or read the book? Talk about conspiracy. I read the book and watched the flick, both had me straight disgusted.

You know that smell that the fast food gives off is engineered in labs, there is a science behind it, to make it so appealing.

The book "Natural Cures" discusses secret chemicals in some fast foods to increase the appetite. It's all marketing, fat people eat more.

One step at a time with the Brother, the first few weeks of giving up your favorite foods is really tough.
 
I don't doubt your every word. As soon as Verizon ships my new router, I'll watch it online. I did mean to give it a view after I watched 'Super Size Me' (if that wasn't as disturbing).

I broke my own diary rule dragging family in here, it's time to let it go, I think.

Weight loss is never easy for anyone. I know this. We all know this. Let me get on with my business for new pics later this year. It's my aim to beat last year. Yeah, lets just focus on that.
 
I will take a picture of me in my jersey soon just for you! :)

Thank you for the nice comments. They really do make my day!

It really was one of the best feelings I've ever experienced. I can't say I have ever felt so much pride from accomplishing something before.

I keep reading good things about our boys!!!! I'm really excited about it! We have a pretty tough schedule this year!
 
Well who doesn't have a tough schedule in the AFC these days ?!?! haha, Gosh, that conference is so dynamic. You bleed Black and Gold like no other female I've ever met. You're just beyond cool.


I find it pretty easy to leave nice comments for people who just shove their chubby life back in its face and totally pwn weight loss. I still get tingles reading complete turn around diaries.

Your so just tough and getting on with your dreams with no excuses. Why can't the masses just see this is how it's done ?? Courage and heart, and of course, being a Steeler fan helps, too :) Keep kickin' ass, Tyly.

So this could be perceived as:

A.) You didn't like looking at my ass last trip.
B.) You want me to look at your ass for 26 miles this time in all fairness.
C.) You want your educational dollars at work even in playtime - which would really freak me out.

Oh, I didn't pay for this degree. So, in all fairness it wouldn't really be MY educational dollars at work. And, I didn't mind riding behind you. I wasn't too focused on your behind, truthfully though...I was focused on maintaining consciousness as I was fighting for my breath to keep up with you! ;-)

*sweeps up the ego in a dust pan and opens the trash receptacle*





Saturday wasn't much of an exercise day (shitty weather) and with some drinking in play, I did keep the damage to minimum. By my math, I was 500 cals over.


Sunday brought a nice late day sunshiney day with warming temps. I walked 5 miles and stopped at my nephew's house where he and his buds were shooting hoops and throwing down 40's.

I refrained from the beers and in the first time in probably two decades I attempted to find my 'inter-city street ballerness' I suck at basketball but I did work up a nice lather 'shooting around'. An added benefit I had not planned.

They swiped my iPod and did a quick review which I got high marks on. Metal still translates well with the 20's crowd, I guess.

My hamstrings are yelling at me this morning :cuss: It's a good burn nonetheless but gawd I'm feeling old. Welp, I gotta regroup and get those hammys loosened up for the next two days of trail riding as the weather seems to be opening up in a favorable way.

I hate I missed lots of riding time last week but the break was kinda needed, too. Next week is Doctor appt time. I hope to weigh in at 215 or less. We'll see..


Happy Cinco De Mayo to the applicable.
 
Hi Randy!

I love reading your diary!
I could so relate to your re-telling the Wendy's drive-jthru experience. But for me the smell, makes me crazy. I can NOT be hungry and as soon as my car is filled with the smell of french fries and burgers....I am famished and grumpy....I can't get my fix. It's shameful, but it's the God's honest truth. Thankfully, it happens so rarely now, because we really do not eat fast food anymore...but it has happened (especially when we had the kids with us) and its torture to me.

Kudos on the bike ride, man! And congrats to your bro for the 6 pounds!

I hope you are having a good day!
 
good luck with the docs appt, good to see the kid in you is back :D

Its great being able to give em a run for their money and think 'yep, i still got it!' (and you do!)

There's nothing shameful about that, Beth. You basically untapped why I have taken such a stance of avoiding that stuff. Our generation was on the ground floor of being Pavlovianly altered to fast food. I agree; it works just the way you described it.

I came so close to caving in this winter to 'getting it over with' and driving to a ff joint. I was already down on myself for gaining and slacking, I figured what the hell, let's go for the hat trick. I then realized I'd have nothing sacred left from my original plan when I started this journey.

thx Liz. I rocked the trail today for a total of 34 miles. Baby bro wanted to shake down his new Trek and he didn't have as much to spare as I did, so I took him out for a 8 miler (4 miles up - 4 miles back) then I re-traced and did my whole trail anew. I rode his Trek for a small piece, I'm not sure he got any better of a bike than I did. Maybe I'm just too hard to please.. *shrugs*

I think the 'kid' in me just got demoted to 'baby' - as in sleep like a baby. I'm flippin' whipped.
 
lol, i caught the bug and went and bought a new bike too, i got a $6k bike, it rides like a farking dream!

God its re-inspiring to get a new nice toy :D:D
 
A good day here. 26 miles on the bike and a 5 mile evening walk. Food is top flight. I'm enjoying me, again.


That's an awesome commitment, Liz !! wow !! and well deserved ;)


You done good, Nicole. Keep that stride !!
 
That's not all too difficult to spend on a bike. It's another thing to afford one that pricey. High-end bikes don't lose much value either, I noticed.
 
yeah $6k as in $6000 - However i didnt pay that, thats just what that particular model is selling for atm, i got it for half that.
My last bike was $4000 worth, and the one before that $100.

funnily enough the $100 bike was more comfy and nider than the $4000 one, hopefully the $6k one is better!
