  • If she wanted to be taken out for dinner she should friggin say so.
  • First of all you said that you over did it for a first time run. Learn from this and don't overdo things again ya big silly... Secondly, when you do a big workout; the next day do a recovery workout which for running would be a short, slow paced, easy run or a brisk walk of about 25% of the time you took to do your big…
  • To build endurance you need to run for a long time but as a beginner you might find this difficult so you could run for 5 minutes and walk for 1 minute; slowly increasing the length of time you run. You'll know you have a good endurance building pace when you can maintain a conversation while you're running. If you can't…
  • For beginners a lot of time is wasted in these races in the transition zone and you also run the risk of being penalized. Standard tri rules say that you may not even TOUCH your bike if you're not wearing your helmet so here's what I suggest: Train by doing a swim/run and a run/bike and at about the halfway point start…
  • AMEN BROTHER!!!!! We've raised a generation of sissies and we're going to have to pay for it. When I have to wake up at 4 am to go on a call for someone with a sore knee that just HAD to be checked out even though it's been a month since it started hurting I just want to slap that person. When I have to leave my lunch to…
  • How can you say that's not a huge success? You're being very silly. Stop it. Stop it this instance or I'll flash the lights on and off... You ran a mile in 10 minutes. The average person on the street couldn't run for 10 minutes straight. Revel in your accomplishment and set your next goal. And stop being silly. There is…
  • If the world was going to end tomorrow then it would already have ended in Australia. Google: Does Australia still exist? Answer: Yes Conclusion: the world has not ended where it is already tomorrow so it is unlikely to end here when it is tomorrow. But maybe the day after that?
  • You can't think in terms of daily intake. You have to consider it as a long term trend. Just like being under by 100 calories one day doesn't mean you're going to lose weight, being over doesn't mean you'll gain weight. I do the same thing you do. If I'm going to be over I make sure I'm way over, the challenge is making…
  • It's a public forum and as such I am entitled to post my views whether you like them or not, In the same way you are entitled to post your views whether I like them or not. If you don't want to see opposing views on a public forum then go talk to yourself in the mirror.
  • It works for me so placebo effect or not, I don't really care. All I know is when I stray from it I feel like crap. I went from 225 to 183 lbs in 3 months the first time I used it. Which was a good thing because I was a slug at 225. It gives me considerably more energy as well. I used to "carbo load" with pasta (the…
  • Milk is designed for baby cows. (from: http://www.notmilk.com/kradjian.html) The milk of every species of mammal is unique and specifically tailored to the requirements of that animal. For example, cows' milk is very much richer in protein than human milk. Three to four times as much. It has five to seven times the mineral…
  • My experience is that MFP under estimates by about 25%. When I use my HRM for cross country skiing I burn between 1000 and 1200 calories per hour but MFP estimates it around 800. Use a HRM for the best guess...
  • I have 2 responses... 1) What's more important to you, your health or what people think of you? Get out there and do what you need to do. In his book "the winter of our discontent" John Steinbeck says (paraphrased) We wouldn't wonder what people thought of us nearly as often if we realized how seldom they actually do 2) I…
  • About 3 weeks after you die
  • You have to be careful with this. If you consistently eat a considerable less than your caloric net goal your body can go into starvation mode. Once a week it's OK to not eat your calories back but otherwise you should aim for about 100-200 calories under your net daily goal. This will accelerate your weight loss but…
  • NO FAIL RESPONSE TO TEMPER TANTRUMS!!!!! This is a NO FAIL remedy. Ignore him. A temper tantrum is an attempt to get attention good or bad because negative attention is better than no attention and if by chance his tantrum works; all the better for him. It is manipulation plain and simple. While I was still married and my…
  • It depends what your goals are. If you want general overall fitness then cross fit is fine but if you're training for a sport or a specific event then crossfit should only be a tool in your fitness toolbox and a personal trainer could be of much greater benefit. As a mountain bike and cross country ski racer I would never…
  • Mon: , 855 (Cycling, jogging, ping pong) Tues: 3655 (cycling, squash, xc skiing, weight lifting) Wed: 513 (cycling) Thur:4365 (4 hours cross country skiing) Fri: 0 (how they were burned) Sat:1400(cycling) Sun:calories burned (how they were burned) I'm kind of over 3500. My numbers are real. I really like junk food, LOL
  • I think you need to figure out why you eat in the evening. I find I often want to eat in the evening out of boredom or because I was used to snacking in front of the TV when I still watched TV. Sometimes it's boredom, sometimes it's a "trigger response" because something you do triggers that bad habit and creates a desire…
  • Just be aware that nuts and peanuts (which are technically a legume or bean) are very high in calories by volume... It might take a little more work but carrying around vegetables is a good idea. and you can eat a ton of vegetables with a low caloric intake plus the vitamins and minerals and fiber you get from them... If…
  • Don't train for distance, train for time. Run for 20 minutes instead of 2 miles. It works better. 2 miles can be 16 minutes or 30 minutes depending on how you feel that day but 20 minutes of running is always 20 minutes of running. I changed from training on the bike from mileage to time and it made a world of difference..
  • You should turn around and go back now, Mr Gump
  • I hope you take this the right way, LOL, I'm not a fan of pork My recipe: Take pork chops and toss in garbage Acquire steak Prepare as desired Check for well doneness by pleased look on family's faces, (just kidding around!!!)
  • I'm planning on racing the tour divide race in 2013. It runs between Banff Canada and the Mexican border. 2700 miles by mountain bike, on your own, self supported. It crosses the continental divide about 21 times and has 200 000 feet of climbing all on bike. As training for that I'm racing in the American Birkiebiner xc…
