I have found that running improves my biking, but biking doesn't do shit for my running. As far the weight issue goes, are you mixing up your runs? Doing some harder than others, doing some intervals, etc? If you are just running easy miles all the time, your body is going to get used to it and become more efficient at it.Good news it I am happy to report that I have more muscles again, making the climbs on my bike much easier and more fun!
That man looks like he knows his way around a bongshed!!
Now that I quit, I'm exercising more than ever, and steadily gaining weight. WTF Mother Nature?! I'm thinking rather than a couple longer runs during the week, I'll switch to the more frequent shorter ones and see what happens. Food intake is about the same. Best guess is I need to be stressed out of my gourd to fit back in my work clothes. So stupid. Good news it I am happy to report that I have more muscles again, making the climbs on my bike much easier and more fun!
Also, my dog is furiously barking at absolutely nothing out the front window. I can't get her to stop. Ghosties.
What he said. Have a goal look, not a goal weight. Who cares what the scale says if you look good.Maybe you're just big boned ?
Sounds like you're packing on muscle mass which can increase your weight. Stop using the scale. Pick out a favorite pair of shorts or pants that you don't wear often to check changes to the fit. Scales and numbers can be discouraging.
I tend to drop weight during periods of intense exercise, then pick it up fairly rapidly during recovery. The difference can be five pounds or so.When I used to do a lot of long distance riding I would actually gain weight. My apetite went through the roof but my metabolism slowed down so much (resting heard rate in the high 30s) I wouldn't burn calories unless I was riding. I'd then dump a bunch of weight in the winter when duration went down but intensity went up.
This might be the best tactical step to get you hired (if the hiring manager is into chicks).but am more concerned about splitting the seat of my pants at an interview!
Don't forget the blow!!Sounds like a strict diet of coke, vodka tonics, and cigarettes should fit the bill.
Please review the 1st item in the list...Don't forget the blow!!
I always ask for thai hot and a dish of Nom Prik Nom Pla. Usually I have to go there a few times before they take me seriously. One waitress taught me a thai phrase to ask for more heat. Can't remember it well enough to not butcher it.The Thai joint advertises their spice level as "Choose a spice Level: American 0 to 7, Thai Mild, Thai Medium or Thai Hot". Usually we get American mild, 1, for the kids. I picked Thai Medium today.
The waitress informed me Thai Medium is about a 20 on their American scale. I'd probably dial it back to a 15 or 18 on that scale next time, but oh was it good...
That man's beard is the bongshed.That man looks like he knows his way around a bongshed!!
Pictures from the weekend:Here. Outdoor rock climbing with Haley yesterday. It was super fun and went really well. The monkey continues. Quick evening ride too. All she wants to do is climb, ride, and can't wait to go ski. to hell with soccer, she wants to be and outside kid. I'll get some pics once I can upload them to Google.
Lots of packing and moving prep too. Inside is well over 50% packed, garage is wild. I hope to have the rest of the basement and upstairs packed by Friday, then can spend the weekend on the garage. Inspection is tomorrow, so I will be able to start heavy loading the basement afterwards. That will allow me to move the inside stuff currently stashed in the garage back to the basement, so I can move things around the garage and pack accordingly.
Replaced some kitchen plumbing late last night to clean up what was there after Wifey went with the 'if the door doesn't shut, push harder' method of hiding stuff and shifted some pipes. Always fun replacing kitchen and disposal pipes.
