Eating colors... I'm doing well. Have 4 minutes in on the jump rope. I remember it killing me last time and this time isn't much easier. Although I do have the MOVES(if I say so myself). On the Withings scale, for the first time ever, it rated my fitness as OPTIMAL. I figure its from trying to keep up to all you ladies.…

You don't need to SCUBA, especially on the Great Barrier Reef. BUT.... SCUBA makes it so relaxing and easy. When you SCUBA you just float and observe and hang out on the reefs. It sounds so scary before you do it. After you are trained, it really is a very peaceful and relaxing activity. I had to push my family to get…

Just love Australia. Got my PADI scuba diving license on the Great Barrier Reef. During the course, we swam over a cliff and right below the edge of the cliff were 3 massive groper. They must have been 200lbs each. I don't know. Scared the crap out of all of us. Will never forget it. I spent 6 glorious months there. Always…

Wow... some stunning women in Kyoto.... wished I had caught more of Kyoto. Looking forward to the next stop. Can't wait!

57 messages to catch up on. Sorry, I've been MIA. I'm back now. Just real busy... no valid excuse. @GSXRGIRL61 --> I got it. Looks like you guys have been having a great time. Feeling kinda left out! We are still no.1. Just put the last of my numbers in. Looks like we are going around the world twice! Where is the world…

We've made it!

Awesome pics

Just as a note... Spent 12 hours in a car yesterday for a 70 minute meeting. Hard to get any exercise in. Will be back at it in a few hours though. Vowder

So I've been a little discouraged since the Amazing Race started because I feel like I am eating well and working out like a machine. Guess what... my weight has gone UP two weeks in row. It just doesn't make sense... I FEEL like I am doing what I did to lose 100 lbs and my weight is virtually the same. Then I did a little…

Well.... perhaps I am wrong... but I don't think so. Dietary fat CANNOT and DOES NOT get stored as fat in the body. It takes a ton of energy for your body to convert protein into fat that can be stored. In fact, only about 333 calories from each 1000 calorie portion will be stored. The other 667 calories will be burned in…

Fat gives you a satisfied full feeling. It keeps the hunger pains away. You body can't store the fat you eat. You don't get fat from eating fat. You get fat from eating foods that your body can turn into fat. I'm on a Keto/Low Carb High Fat diet. I am losing weight, feel great and am able to work out in ways that I haven't…

I sucked it up and did 2 hours of house maintenance, much of it with a ladder. I added only 45 minutes to the spreadsheet but that put me over the 1,000 minutes. I don't think I can commit to that again. This was really really tough. My weight went up/stayed level all week on the scale, but my % body fat dropped like a…

1000 minutes is really tough to do. After my 2nd 3 hour workout this weekend.. I still have 53 minutes left to hit 1000. I'll do a 20 minute walk with the dogs... but that still leaves 33 mins and I am bagged. Hmmmm .... Does a hot bath count? How about a steam shower? I'm sure my wife will have a chore or two for me if I…

I'll be there.... right after Rocky Horror Picture Show. Or perhaps that is where the ball is????

Okay... I finally did a big enough workout that will help me hit the 1000 minutes. Really going to be tough to get the 1000 minutes, though. BUT... my son is in a swim meet this weekend at my regular gym. I am literally stuck inside the facility for 18 hours this weekend. Now I just have to use that time to work out. I…

Oh sorry... didn't notice... my mind was still in Iceland. I'll catch up soon. Vowder

I'm in... but a little worried about it. I typically do really intensive workouts but was planning on doing two long slow workouts this weekend regardless. However, that is about 145minutes/day. I'm already 120 minutes behind this week and it is only Tuesday. Yikes. If we are successful in doing this... it is akin to…

I just convinced my wife to go to Rocky Horror on Friday night at 11:30pm. I'm guessing Friday night will not be one of my days without eating after dinner. LOL. Good thing I started yesterday.

For those of you who haven't seen Rocky Horror... try to resist until you can see it in the theater. Rocky Horror is not a TV in the living room type of event. Wouldn't make sense there. You really have to find a venue. Trust us!

@wolvinnetje You know as well as I do that it is all about the trend. 1 data point does not a trend make. You are my rock. I see your speadsheet entry everyday when I put my numbers. Don't let one simple number screw you up. Ik ben gekomen om te rekenen op u. Ik heb gezien wat je kunt doen. Morgen, opstaan, en laten we…

Whoo Hooo I knew we could do it! Specially when I saw so many folks going for an extra walk last night. Absolutely pumped for this week. Love the Rocky Horror Show. Have been known to throw toast now and again. It will look funny, but I'm all in on this one. Not eating in the evening won't be an issue as long as I am not…

38 messages to catch up on. LOL. So I did another massive workout today. 1:50 on the treadmill with 45 mins at 8 degrees and another 45 mins at 10 degrees. I've never felt this strong before. I too am sore from all the working out this week. Started back up a little hard but it feels good. What a killer team we have. At…

@hawkins410 said: Only in my imagination! But hey... I am always ready for a challenge.

Funny that no one is talking about the women in the hot springs. They seem very interested about Alberta Canada. Don't worry...I've got it covered. You folks take a tour with the guide. As part of the water theme... just finished a hard 60 minute swim. This is a tough game this time round. Remember... it is completed the…

Thanks everyone.... that helps a lot. 2.5 lbs up on the scale but that is mostly water. When on a low carb diet you shed a ton of water. As you eat carbs back the water comes back with it. It makes for an emotional journey. Let's see what the check-in says on Monday. Can't wait to get to the bar tonight in Reykjavik! I…

Not sure the scale is going to be kind to me tomorrow. A client invited me to lunch and selected a Chinese buffet. Not the first choice for a low card high fat diet. Then tonight I went to a scheduled dinner with my business partner and spouses. Brutal on for weight loss... but fun. It always feels like two steps forward…
