Still after those 11-34 cassettes?Haley's bike is largely built. I need to chase the threads on the bb still though before I can put on the cranks.

I think this is my undoing
. I eat relatively okay in the grand scheme, but I drink a lot of beer; especially when biking.After the three beers that I have left from Vermont are gone from the fridge, I think I'm going to try to take a break. Or at least cut back to only having one or two on Saturdays.
I love Kare Pan. I get some whenever I am in Toronto. The Char Su place is next door. 2 birds with one stone.... I ride my bike there because there is never parking in the Danforth...
I wonder if I should try a liquid G&T diet.
I do a liquid fast a few times a week when I forget to eat while drinking beer...
Thankfully there's a 'shed for that
Cut beer and most alcohol, which was tough since we own a small winery and I really really love beer, out of my diet for health reasons three years ago. Dropped 30 lbs almost immediately. I'll have a social beer or a really special beer every now and then.I think this is my undoing

oh lol. i drink a shit ton of beer. but if i cut beer and lost 30# i'd be 6'1" and 135#
After trying to get my insurance policy updated... I'm game.I wonder if I should try a liquid G&T diet.
That's about where I'd be. Well... more like 145#, but yeah...oh lol. i drink a shit ton of beer. but if i cut beer and lost 30# i'd be 6'1" and 135#
I actually gained weight for a while after quitting drinking. I was compensating for the habit with enormous sugar, fat, salt, and carb input. Kinda got that under control and lost about 25 pounds a few years ago.
Careful what you wish for, I guess.

Yep
After dealing with SecOps this afternoon... I'm ALL-IN!I wonder if I should try a liquid G&T diet.
Dinner so far has been two double bourbons.....After dealing with SecOps this afternoon... I'm ALL-IN!
Gotta support that shit, son!'Mater plant decided to off itself and split in half today.
Cut the limp end off. Hoping the still erect side lives on.
It was, I swear! I learned my lesson two summers ago.
I think not having water for a week made it go extra limp.
Jesus, man, just buy yourself a Hydroflask and keep it topped off during the day. No one wants to hear that.
This is my idea of a healthy dinner. 6oz of pan seared Salmon Filet crumbled over a chopped green salad with light balsamic dressing.
Full days diet. Bowl of oatmeal with a teaspoon of butter to start. Tuna salad wrap for lunch for dinner and two 16 oz bottles of Gatorade while working outside in 100* heat. I walked 6 miles over the course of the day

Climbed one of them mountains we have around here. Hardest 10 miles I have ever done. Every step seemed to promise an end of life experience if not executed properly.

Never watched it but I can probably assume it was about losing as much weight as fast as possible. That of course requires massive caloric deficit. Ones body will always adjust for that, hence the long term results. Seems that having a lifestyle in equilibrium where your end goal sits, is the most reliable way of getting there, however not the quickest.
Now back to the snark:
Toshi: Drunken Noodles
RM: ya gonna get fat
Toshi: Kare Pan
RM: ya gonna get fat
Toshi: E-bike
RM: ya gonna get fat
Toshi: Pfft, y'all ain't smart like me
How does your concept of equilibrium work when the body fights to restore its set point? It's a self-regulating system. It's not like you can dial in "calories and activity to make me 150 lbs" and then just cruise to that point.
And I will note that I was fat before the e-bike, which merely brings me more joy in riding because climbing for 30 minutes > climbing for 60 or 80 minutes. Thai food and kare pan have been in my life for a longer time yet.

But when all added together with a lower net caloric output, your weight has gone up, no? Just saying... [walks away to eat a frozen glob of peanut butter and coconut oil]
The key point is "lower net caloric output", and that's not a constant (assuming a fixed amount of exercise). It's a self-regulating system. Eat less*, metabolic rate goes down to match.
* this is with regular feeding patterns and simple calorie restriction. Note that fasting actually increases metabolic rate due to norepinephrine and cortisol going up, with longer term fasting (16 hrs+? perhaps? depends on whether keto to start with) directly burning fat.
i think you won the internet.Climbed one of them mountains we have around here. Hardest 10 miles I have ever done. Every step seemed to promise an end of life experience if not executed properly.
washington has the most european looking mountains....if that is a thing....
Haven't seen European mountains but this shit is steep. The Cascades have an absurd diversity of geology, standing on a granite peak looking out on ones made of basalt, limestone, sandstone marble, etc. Cascades are primarily from magma lifting or whatever from a subduction zone while the Olympics are from folding from the same subduction zone.
I think more Danes speak enough Swedish to get the Swedes to understand us but also depends on where in Sweden you are from. If we try we can speak with each other plus its a good way to quickly learn.
If anyone in Boulderlandia would have it, it Would be My Ramen & Izakaya https://www.myramenboulder.com/menu but I dont see it on the menu. Their Takoyaki is legit.
I did a quick Google and didn't see Boulder options.

Will be in Cherry Creek ( i think thats the place) on Friday. Putting this joint on our radar looks the bomb!I did a quick Google and didn't see Boulder options.

They'll be sold out of nearly everything by 1 or 2 PM so make sure to hit it up early if that's an option. They open at 6.
In addition to the kare pan (labeled as beef curry), other favorites in my household are the bacon epi (Yuna), tart with peach (Yuna, Mariko, Jessica), shoku pan (everyone), and the fruit sandwich in the cold case to the left of checkout (everyone).
I recently tried milk bread for the first time. Just tasted like white bread lol
