What is under my saddle is a tail light. What I carry for emergencies are: Spare tube and a small patch kit (size of a quarter, to patch a tire sidewall if necessary to get me home) Tool kit, tire levers, mini chain tool, spoke wrench, spare change, small tube of sunscreen rated at 100,2 AAA batteries, 3 bandanas, Hand…

There is a free joggers/runners app called Podrunner, which has music set to specific tempo, BPM. If you want to ride at a 90 cadence just choose podrunner at 180. The music is techno, but the idea is sound, and its free. FYI, when you choose to dl a podcast of music at 180, it will be at least 55-60 minutes at 180. They…

I have a Kurt Kinetic Fluid Trainer. Fluid trainers are quiet and offer increased resistance based on speed. It is extremely well made, and guaranteed not to leak. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omdaq_EWMv8

Heres a tip also. If you decide to wear regular pants when you ride. Take an old pair of socks, preferably black or dark. Cut the top part off. Keep the top part..roughly 6-8". I use that to tuck my pants legs in so they dont get caught in/on the chain ring. I just put them on over my socks in the morning. Then when I need…

Google Ernest Gagnon

Water with lemon juice in it is good for the kidneys. Might try that if you want to do something better for yourself than just drink sweet things and then beat yourself up over it.

If you need something crunchy. Try raw snow peas.

This is correct only if you ignore the efficiency. Which is more efficient a brand new corvette with fresh oil change or a 72 Chrysler that hasnt had its oil changed in 2 years? Your "machine" doesnt just put energy into lighting the light bulb it also expels heat, pumps blood, burns fuel. Yes Lance will burn less calories…

heart rate monitor. I use the Polar FT4.

Overestimate food that you're unsure of. When you measure it yourself, no need to estimate. I have found that at the gym, the elliptical and the arc trainer over estimate. The Treadmill is fairly close. The bike is underestimated by a great deal. This is in comparison to my Polar FT4 readings.

Pinto Beans, black beans. Cheap protein source. Good fiber as well.

The Beatles - Let It Be on 8 track

Sometimes people add calories from fat into total calories and use that number for total calories, which shows a lack of understanding of the labeling system.

This July I was roading it down a hill doing about 25 mph when a dog came out of nowhere and went right in front of my front wheel. I had no time to slow or react in any way. i remember hitting the dog, but I dont remember landing. When I awoke, my wife who was about 20 car lengths ahead of me at the time of impact, was…

Ended up with 3382.1 miles on the bike. Wanted 4,000 but not bad for losing 8 weeks with the broken clavicle.

What does 20/4 intermittent fasting mean?

This summer I broke my right clavicle which required ORIF surgery to repair. I definitely ate more during that time. I felt my body needed the extra nutrients to repair itself. Now that I am fully healed, I am hoping to drop those extra 10 pounds I gained.

It's not a real salad unless there's a slice of beet in there, get that Olive Garden??!!

Here's the only thing I don't think anyone has touched on, yet. With a motorized treadmill, you don't need to worry about your cadence. You set the speed that you need, and you have to keep up. With an elliptical,you can set the resistance, but if you aren't listening to music, your cadence will drop, and you'll lose your…

Cetaphil

Dont forget to drink the water. Very important. I see you're not tracking it.

I dont eat peanut butter too late because it gives me heartburn. Only food that does that. I love it at breakfast though. And with apples for a snack.

Juicy red sweet peppers.

You'll probably wake up tommorrow a pound lighter. This is coming from experience.

Eat a skinny cow ice cream sandwich and dont feel guilty about it, you'll still be under.

Coffee, oatmeal with cinnamon applesauce this morning.

I play City of Heroes. Been playing since 2005.

I eat 5 or 6 times a day. Never starve here.

Maybe he just doesn't want the daughters walking in unexpectedly or he's afraid they might hear something from the other room even? That could be a hidden stressor. Plus the whole raising a family commitment for the rest of his life thing may have gotten him down. Maybe he doesn't want more than 2 kids, but hes never told…
