37° F out behind the house this morning, frost is edging closer.
Doggie’s water bowl is frozen...
first time having to turn on the heater on the drive into work
Good morning, peanuts! Dragged my carcass to the pool this morning and swam for an hour. BLAH. This is the best weather time of the year....lows in the 30's, highs in the 60's, no humidity. The bedroom got nice and cold last night with the windows open.
i love this weather as well. need to do some MTB in it.
on that note, anyone here update to android 10 yet? i've been holding off as i've heard of some issues and wasn't sure if they'd been addresses yet
Ride last night coming home from the bar, no lights, shirt and shorts, 70+ degrees couldn't have been a better night.
This morning has been rough.
Lunch ride planned.

Sans quotes, on this fine ride of mine that you have spied before.
(Since about April I've been without an office--new office should be done in a month or so. And I'm certainly not locking up the Shuttle on the outside bike racks at work! Plus fenders and panniers are nice.)
are there before pictures of fat toshi?
my kill list, like the universe, is ever expanding. be wary, lest you find yourself sucked into the void.no, but one might say that your killist posts would be equally predictable
I did have the thought to take a few before pictures. This is me on August 4, somewhere around 38 BMI, albeit with "only" 30% overall body fat (36% in the abdomen, which is the worst place for it risk-wise):
At that point I looked like an overstuffed normal person, IMO. The defattening is ongoing: weighed in this morning a solid 20 lbs down from the photo, although that's probably exaggerated since I'm in the middle of an medium length fast. I'll be a legit 20 lbs down in a few days, likely.
i only bust your chops in jest. good on you for doing this. i'm trying to get my shit sorted myself.I did have the thought to take a few before pictures.

Keto diet (or even just cutting carbs down to, say 100g/day) + intermittent/occasional extended fasting really is the hot ticket. After posting about my experiences with it I've had a ton of friends come out of the woodwork and share that they've lost 30, 50, 75 lbs and kept it off by using these techniques.
my biggest issues that i'm working to address:
1 - late night snacking
2 - beer consumption
3 - eating more fresh fruits.
1 & 2 are by and large my biggest issues. i was doing good on them, then the accident happened.
Based off of what I have read and heard I'm totally behind 1 and 2 being culprits. Having high insulin levels throughout the night (and then eating breakfast! who told us to do this anyway?!) means you never get a low insulin state, ever.
But if you're not nutrient deficient staying away from things with fructose is probably good. In mouse models it increases rates of pancreatic adenocarcinoma, and then you have the anecdote of Steve Jobs, an avowed fruitatarian...
If you're feeling in a biochemical mood:

oh i absolutely know they are the culprits. my weight was going down and staying down consistently when i was drinking less and not snacking before bed.Based off of what I have read and heard I'm totally behind 1 and 2 being culprits.

just for reference: i'm 6'1", weight is around 210. i can reasonably get down to 190 with appropriate effort and consistency.
FTS with a red hot poker. Got to get a ton of shit done today so I can spend most of the weekend mingling with people I don't like.
I’m just shy of 6’ 2” and ~200-205. I guess I should concerned?
But you can do a lap of WR in 1:15. You are doing just fine.
I'd love to see Jon head up Belcher. (While I watched from my e-bike.)
consult your dr.
the longest sustained climb on any trails within an hour drive of me is maybe 10 minutes tops.But you can do a lap of WR in 1:15. You are doing just fine.

So last night the wife and I had been asleep in the camper for about 45 minutes when my phone started ringing..
Hello:
Eric this is Ann we have a medical emergency at the race barn how fast can you get down here?
Five, what's the issue.
Rider got knocked over and stomped by the horse
Aw shit.. Sent to Trauma center. .ended up 3 broken ribs bruised kidney and lung

I'm slow as fuck on the climbs, but have many local and nearby in excess of an hour. (with breaks)
oh yea i get that. my issue isn't that i couldn't potentially handle it, i'm just not conditioned to it. that plus elevation. my house sits at about 250' above sea level
I've cut beer out totally during the week (on week 4). I don't know what its done for my health, but it has most certainly saved a lot of money.
Still reading the book at @Toshi pointed out about fasting. I haven't dived in with it yet, but it makes sense to me. I think it'll be easy though, I already generally don't eat breakfast and eat my lunch late in the afternoon at work.
If that's me, then given his speed the other night Evan would definitely beat me. My August was terrible for riding mileage and September hasn't been much better.But you can do a lap of WR in 1:15. You are doing just fine.

Shit, I did that on on hill during the ride with Haley last weekend.oh yea i get that. my issue isn't that i couldn't potentially handle it, i'm just not conditioned to it. that plus elevation. my house sits at about 250' above sea level
all the riding around me is mediocre at best
It's my Friday. w00tw00t.
not sure what I am gonna do tomorrow. we will leave for Grand Lakes in the late afternoon once the girls get home.
Lola has been extra melty lately, so it should be a fun 48 hours. :/

Fixed that for @Full Trucker
We definitely need to get you on a bike if/when you ever get back out here. We could do White Ranch, Chimpex, and Deer Creek.
Maybe throw in Bergen Peak for fun afterwards...
