So am I! I live in VB.

I'm a Sierra Nevada fan from way back. But lately I'm really liking New Belgium's Fat Tire amber ale. One thing about it is some of their profits go to sponsor cycling events around the country. Besides, it tastes great.

Yeah, that's what I do. Once...ONCE...I asked details about what went into my Dad's spagetti and meatballs with home-made sauce and all kinds of other things. I only was able to ask that once. Did I mention that? Yeah, just overestimate, and you'll be fine.

I'm training for my first 1/2 September 2nd. It's been so freaking hot here, and I am having difficulty finding the motivation to train. Ugh, wish I could get over it. Just gotta get out and DO IT!

Team Garmin has many US riders, I usually root for them. Besides, c'mon, they ride Cervelos.

I use a Garmin 310 for running and on my bike. It's so versatile. Can use it for just about anything.

Started running again January of this year. Had an accident a few years back and it left me with a limp that made running uncomfortable. I love to cycle and that really helped me in so many ways. I'm turning 50 this November and I'm giving myself my 1st 1/2 marathon in September. I run 3 times a week and continually…

Aside from the disgusting, the irony of it is a priest will presumably marry her. Gluttony is one the 7 deadly sins. So this preacher or whatever, will be saying "God this, & God that" while someone is committing a heinous sin right before his eyes. Who is this person being married to anyway?

I blew lunch after a hard work out, and since you're supposed to eat back your calories, I had to scoop up all that barf and eat it. Man I'll never do that again.

Big black rum balls. Do you really have record that in the diary? That kinda stuff can follow you around, especially if you plan on running for office.

When I'm feeling feminine, I eat everything in the house.

My parents live in Pinehurst, and my brother owns a bakery/sandwich shop in Southern Pines.

Happy Mums' Day, first off. That's a great decision you've made. Before getting on this site, I never thought of counting calories. Anyway, I'm Dan, feel free to add me. Best of luck.

Funny all the comments about how being a vegetarian isn't good for body composition. Never mind that BS. Gotta hand it to you, riding a fixie. Oof. There are protein powders out there that are made with vegetarians in mind. I'm not a vegetarian, but I mix mine with water. I'm sure you'll figure something out. I got a…

Surprised I went through the entire list of messages before someone named the grand exhaulted of all apples...the Granny Smith.

I used to have a Polar F4. It was great til it kinda self destructed. I've Garmins for the past couple of years now. Chest straps (HRM unit doesn't stink like the Polar one did.

You can rent billboard space that he'll see while driving on his daily route to work or whatever. Make a real splash.

how much weight does a stone translate to?

Twice, I did a ride with my brother. It's called the STP, and is annual ride from Seattle to Portland...205miles. You had the option to do it in one day, but we split it up into two days...134 miles the first day, then 71 miles to the finish on the second. Awesome ride, well supported. The annual Group Health STP, google…

Yeah, I agree with cute little Lara89.

Holy sheepsh*t Batman!

Yeah I know. I could never seem to get. or want to get that much fat in my diet. I liked "Upon This Rock's" comment that it gets very hard to maintain. He made the point of concentrating on not going over in calories. That makes the most sense. All these people who say "Oh I use a 40/25/30 ratio, works well for me". I…

Hi, I'm 49 too (like Karen there) and I would like to get rid of 20 or 30. I've just been on MFP for about 3 1/2 to 4 weeks. My weight loss is fluctuating, so I still need to find what diet/exercise/calorie combination will work for me. Running was helping until I tore a calf muscle, but I've continued to ride my bike and…

I, too, am an ICU RN. I am back at school however studying pharmacy. Please feel free to ADD me. Would love to read your views on things. Dan

Hey man, how's it going? What's your pace when you ride approximately 3 hours? What do you do on your longer rides? I used to bonk every time when all I had was water. On my longer rides, I supplement with Carbo-Pro, it glycogen in a powder. 2 scoops equals ~ 200 calories. It's tasteless and colorless when mixed with…

My friend is a Jehovah's Witness. He got pissed when he tried to tell me a knock knock joke and I ignored him.

Which one did I tear?

Thanks Scott, I find your comments encouraging.

Thanks Scott, I spoke to a massage therapist who lends his services to athletes and to clients who've been okayed for rehab. He said that the "pop" I felt was probably a tear. He thinks that since I'm able to use a massage stick on it, and it doesn't hurt, that it's probably a smaller muscle in the calf group. You echoed…

Rock 'n Roll 1/2 marathon September in Virginia Beach. My first ever of many!
