Howdy everyone: long time, no see. To say that life's been busy since 1-AUG would an understatement, so my visits to MFP have been ... well, non-existent. My summer calendar looked like this: - May 13: cannot run more than .5km - July 18: Complete 7km + obstacle "BadAss Dash" - Aug 2: elderly mom decides it's time to sell…

I've been Googled, but rarely ogled.

The issue of not finding a difference about how clothes fit simply depends on *where* you lost the weight. For example, if your biceps contained a lot of fat, and you lost some of that fat but built a little muscle there at the same time, you will neither see a clothes-fit change, nor see a significant physical difference.…

Hey Cool Kids! I've been MIA for a million reasons (company staying with us for a few weeks, busy prepping for this Saturday's BadAss Dash, moving offices...by myself since we have no budget for moves, etc). Great pics from the Spartan race gam3er! Welcome to all the newcomers, and welcome back to those who came back!

Hey all, and welcome to the New people ... nothing special that all y'all need to do in order to join, just bookmark the group! Had an odd "injury" this week. Ran 7+km this past Saturday. Didn't get to do my normal "obstacle" practice on Sunday, so rested instead. No pain at all ... felt really good. Suddenly on Monday, my…

*waves at the new folks*

YES! Weight does not always equal fitness ... awesome results, and awesomely said!!
-
Welcome to the new folks!

Not surprisingly, chest and shoulders are poorest relative-quality measurements - after all, haven't been able to do a single pushup due to torn labrum+tendonosis since March. Overall bodyfat up almost a full percentage since last week.

Great piece of advice I received the other day: "you cannot build and cut at the same time - pick one and do it right, then move to the other"
-
You found the secret code! Welcome.

Okay, so having just determined that my overall body fat % is approximately 18%, I'm now frustrated by the 2 rather significantly varying interpretations of that number. ACE says 18% is "average" (where 14%-17% is fit, 18%-25% is average). However, the Jackson & Pollack chart that takes age into account says that I'm…

That's okay, I'm a techhie and I didn't find it all that intuitive either :-)

Hey cool kids. Was away all week (early "summer holiday", I guess). Took the running shoes and got 2 short runs in ... including a beautiful run from the Niagara Whirlpool rapids, upriver to Bridge Street (the rest of the run was a lot less beautiful!). Second run was 2 days later around my old stomping grounds where I…

Well, they say money is a great motivator ... and they also say "put your money where your mouth is". So, after 2 slightly-increasing-in-length runs this weekend, I finally put my $$ down to enter the July 18 BadAss Dash. Although I have a skeleton training regimen in my head, I'll need to put it in writing.
-
Heh ... because, of course, the first thing one thinks of when they look at my picture is "Hey! He's BADASS!" LOL
-
I'm running in the "BadAss Dash" - kind of a mini-Spartan race from what I can see. It raises funds for AutismSpeaks, which is near-and-dear to our family, as my daughter is on the Spectrum. I miss kayaking ... although I was more of a river-kayaker as opposed to ocean. Picked up a used canoe last year, so I intend to get…
-
So, halfway through practising some karate Kata this Saturday, I remembered that I plan on running in a mud-run this July. Of course, I haven't run in ... forever (I'm thinking...1986 or so). Decided to start slowly, build myself up to the 7km distance. First 2 brief runs this weekend felt good - I guess all the other work…
-
So, mostly unrelated to health/fitness ... I was led to an article this morning about a primary school principal in Pennsylvania who "shamed" a parent (search for Principal Shames Dad Over Kids' 'Once-in-a-Lifetime Experience' ) because he packed up his family for 3 days so they could go to the Boston Marathon. I've been…

Well, Fitbit steps read "zero" yesterday. That's because it sat on my desk while I washed, primed and painted walls. Wheeeee!
-
I have found as I get older that not only is a nap a special treat, but it's darn-well a requirement. 1/2hr when I get home from work is enough to refresh for a few more hours
-
Hey cool kids. 19C and sunny today ... spent it outside taking down all the Christmas lights, and trying help help my daughter figure out a bike (not easy for her). Even dusted off my old 1980's era Norco Monterey to prepare converting it into a Hybrid bike. It's 6:30 and my Fitbit step count is already north of 10,000 ...…
-
I'll be honest: I weigh myself every morning after I get rid of the day before's waste, and before eating anything. Of course, the scale isn't the sole indicator: the rest is all based on the mirror. You can be 200lb and look fat, and eventually you can be 200lb and have muscles to die for. Somewhere between those two is…
-
Just a small piece of "easy added calories" advice: at the end of the day, if I was a bit short of my net calorie intake, a handful of trail mix and a glass of blood-orange juice was usually all it took to bring them up. (I know you had some other issues...but I thought I'd throw that in)
-
Dude, you're hardcore.

Fantastic-looking food! The funny part was the caption that said "This image has been resized to fit in the page." ... my first though was "This salad needs to be resized to fit in my stomach!" Yummy
-
Good morning cool peeps. Welcome to the new folks ... what a great mix of people! @larrodarro ... I'm a bit envious of your new kayak (used to have one ... lost in when a certain relationship ended many many years ago). I'm probably more envious that you can USE the kayak right now - it's currently -11C where I am. We…

I've been a Fitbit Flex user for over a year-and-a-half. I originally bought it to track the "extraneous" calorie burn (i.e. the burn I wasn't counting from planned exercise). I had originally bought the Jawbone UP, and returned it for the Flex ... yeah, I've replaced the band a couple of times (a lot cheaper than…
-
At my house, the weather, the lack of light ... and the skunks at twilight get in the way of outdoor running :smiley: Welcome aboard! (PS: I'm Canadian!)
-
Larro, a) nice new set of wheels! I'm off to the dealership today myself ... been researching for 2 weeks, and although I'd actually decided to put buying off until the fall, my wife had other recommendations (happy wife, happy life ... right?) b) You know there are times that I WISH the injuries were from something as…
