Welcome, InaraReynolds! In frith, Sylvie

I am sorry for your husband's loss. This is excellent advice for everyone, whether a mountain or road cyclist. Ride safe, ride smart, stay in a pack if possible.

I'm still here.

Have you tried adding a scoop to your baking or homemade protein bars? That could be an option to make nasty tasting supplements palatable.

Preach, sister! I gained a boat-load of weight when I was running on empty. Food was my only solace, as I had an unsupportive partner and did everything in the house. I typically ran on 4-5 hours of sleep, worked a full-time job and a part-time one, was responsible for cooking/cleaning/child-rearing, etc... Exercise and…

Like TMLPatrick, if I find that a band's political leanings are completely opposed to mine, I will happily delete them from my playlist. So far, Megadeth, Ted Nugent and Meatloaf are persona non-grata on my I-Pod. While Alice Cooper is a born-again Christian, he tends to keep his private views out of his on-stage…

When my husband told me that he was no longer interested in having sex with me, because I was too fat and unattractive for him. His constant negativity and lack of encouragement led me to turn even more to food for comfort. He is now my was-band. His constant belittling of me combined with his alcoholism made me finally…

I'm a total foodie, so feel free to add me. I would say 95% of my food is homemade. Sending you a friend request.

HELL NO!!!!

What race is it? The Spartan Sprint?

Homemade butternut squash soup. It's one of my favourite soups. I made it with no-sodium chicken broth, butternut squash from my summer garden, herbs and spices. I added no cream or milk in order to keep the calorie count down.

I didn't keep reading it. I picked up the book out of morbid curiosity, as it was on sale in the remnants bin at my local library for 2$. I got to the scene where Anastasia lost her virginity to Christian, and she had three orgasms. I flung the book across the room, and called bull****. I don't care who you are, nobody…

Like others here, my weight loss has been kick-started since I had my hysterectomy in 2011. I also have low-thyroid and high blood pressure. I found it easier to exercise when I wasn't on a constant period for 9 days straight, one week off, then another nine days on. This made me turn to food constantly. Add to that a…

My goals for 2014 are: 1) Take part in the 75 K charity ride in May. I did it last year with no problems, but I aim to improve my time this year. 2) Ride over 6000 kms this year. I made it over 4400 this year before foul weather forced me to stop. 3) Ride a century. 4) Get more cold weather/rain gear so that the weather…

Rule 38 is my favourite. Train Properly: if you get passed by someone, it is nothing personal, just accept that on the day/effort/ride they were stronger than you. If you can’t deal, work harder. But don’t go playing leap frog to get in front only to be taken over again (multiple times) because you can’t keep up the pace.…

Update: It turns out that ASI (Fuji Bicycles) actually owns the copyright on the term "Roubaix" in the US, and leases the copyright to Specialized. ASI smacked down Specialized, and allowed the owner of Cafe Roubaix to use the name.…

I had a similar funny happen this summer. A matching team of young men with REALLY expensive bikes and matching outfits passed me slowly on the bike path. No problem, as I was loaded down with saddle bags for my morning commute. I guess they burned all their energy passing me, as I caught up to them 2 miles later. They…

Hubby and I are registered for the 5K. This will be my first 5K that I attempt to run instead of walk.

I can't be bothered to buy brand new clothing when I'm still in the process of losing weight. I would have had to do 6 complete wardrobe changes in two years. I lucked out that my sister also lost a lot of weight and gave me her size 8 clothing which was too big for her. I'm actually wearing a pair of her jeans now. :)
-
I tend to shop at thrift stores, as I find that most new clothing shrinks horribly in the wash. At least when I buy from a thrift shop, I know that the pants have been through the wash and will not shrink to capri length. And as an added bonus, if they fit in the thrift shop, I know the length is right for my height. No…

No underwear when I'm cycling, but I do wear granny panties while working out indoors. It just feels comfier than my thongs.

I try to obey the laws, but sometimes vehicles force me not to. I will not risk my life to obey rules that others willfully ignore. When safety is paramount, I will ride on the sidewalk or walk my bike in a pedestrian crossing. After almost being clipped three times this year in a roundabout, I have altered my cycling…

Well, hubby and I have decided that we're not bringing alcohol to the gathering. I volunteered to be the designated driver, but he insisted that having alcohol would raise our calorie count through the roof. We may have a beer if offered, but otherwise we're having diet drinks and tea. Our Heathen friends will look at us…

"For ANY woman who runs alone in I would strongly suggest taking a carry course and buying a little .380" And jogging with a holstered weapon in Canada will certainly get you shot by the local cops. NOBODY except police officers and a select few high-level bodyguards are allowed to carry weapons. That is why the murder…

Happy Samhain / Fog Moon to everyone.

We are meeting a group of fellow Heathens on the weekend of November 9th, for the Third Annual Not-So-Great-Pumpkin-Smash. A day of swordplay, archery, incredible amounts of laughter, way more food than I can keep track of, and lots to drink. Possibly followed up by a private blot. I will try to behave with my food intake,…

I have weight loss plateaus as well. I just got over one by changing my exercise routine. Try including other forms of exercise instead of just treadmill walking. Maybe swimming, weight lifting, or even jogging on the treadmill might kick-start your weight loss again. My body got used to cycling, so when I switched to…
