Depends on where the person is starting and whole host of other factors... Simple math here - start with an average person who consumes 2000 calories a day to maintain their weight. To lose a pound of fat per week, that person would have to restrict their eating by 3500 calories (spread out over a week). To lose 3 pounds,…

Mass consumption of garlic actually results in some of the chemicals in the garlic being released from your pores... good news is that it effectively hides you from any mosquitos in the vacinity.

Snow??? What is this mythical thing you speak of? Current prediction is mid 80's for Christmas day here in north Texas.

Home-made pork tamales with home-made salsa - my wife is Mexican and it's tamale season!!
-
Shopping with lots of walking the last two days... my wife is Mexican and its tamale season so we are also in the middle of prep for that... the next couple of days will be rather hectic around here.

Had unintended exercise yesterday... went to the grocery store before work, got everything needed (and some things not), loaded the 6-7 bags of groceries into the car, turned the key and nothing happened... deader than a nail. Walked across the parking lot to the Autozone and the manager brought his jump-start device over…

None of the above.... fork put downs and table push-aways are the best exercises for weight loss.

the pine cone thing only works if you soak it in unicorn sweat first!

Morning ride - 17.37 miles @ 13.6 mph avg. Another windy day, but I was planning to take it easier today... the last two days I pushed hard, so the legs needed a bit of a break.
-
Windy day, but clear and warm (60), so I rode 19.26 miles @ 14.0 mph average. 5 of the first 6 miles were uphill into the wind ( yes, Maynard... uphill, thru the snow, both ways 😁), but there was a long downhill with the wind that made up for it!

My wife makes the stuffing: cornbread, sauted peppers, onions and celery, diced turkey/turkey broth and spices.

Was cold this morning, but warmed up mid-morning so went for a ride... 19 miles @ 14.3 mph avg.
-
Got out for a ride mid-morning... 17 miles, 14.0 mph avg. 72 minutes total. Was windy today so had headwinds going out but the tailwind coming back was nice.

Fair market value <> a 'living wage' Fair market value in my area of the US is $12-$13 an hour. How do I know that? Because that is what the vast majority of the places that pay their employees by the hour are offering. Personally, I would have a very hard time 'living' on that as a salary.

In my case, I use my own laptop to connect to a desktop machine in the office... the company will provide a laptop to workers who do not have one. The company also allows you to expense up to $50 each for internet access and phone (per month). Any other expenses are dealt with on a case-by-case basis. Note - I use my own…

Haven't posted in awhile, so here's the last few days: Saturday started out cold (38 in the morning), but it warmed up into the lower 60's by the afternoon, so I rode 20 miles that afternoon. Sunday was an active day around the house with no deliberate exercise. Monday and Tuesday the weather (cold and very windy) so no…

The ketone strips are a lot like a preggers test - any purple color on the strip means that you are in ketosis, beyond that, they are pretty much meaningless. Also, you should NEVER see an appreciable amount of glucose in your urine - it is an indicator that bad things are happening in your body if you do see glucose in…

Are you sure about the weights on the chicken? 25g of chicken is less than 1 oz of chicken, 40g of chicken is barely more than 1 oz of chicken... I personally would eat more real food and ditch some of the protein powder.

Something you can try with bitter tastes is to add salt to the mix... like get the fenugreek slightly damp (so the salt will stick) and then lightly salt it before eating. Nobody is quite sure how the salt works like that, but the current theory is that it partially blocks the bitter receptors on the tongue and thus…

The weather and my schedule finally cooperated this morning - about 58 degrees, so a great morning for a ride outdoors... 17.86 miles @ 13.3 mph avg, total of 80 minutes on the bike. Didn't know how hard I would be able to push after doing the spin bike late yesterday, but everything felt good, so win-win!

Spin cycle - 50 minutes Steps tonight: 5 min @ 80, 90, 100, 110, 120 10 min @ 100, 90, 80 Just to see what I had left in the tank, at 48 minutes I did a 30 sec sprint @ 150 (had to hold myself down on the bars but I pulled it off) Tomorrow I should be able to get out on the real bike again.

One of our cats always sleeps curled up against my feet - keeps him happy and my feet warm all night long.

50 minutes spin bike - sprint intervals 10 min warm/10 min cool 15 x 1 min sprint/1 min normal Don't know what the other riders consider a sprint... for me a normal cadence is 80, so the sprint was a cadence of 120 minimum.

Always like riding with wet leaves on the trails (makes it kinda exciting :wink: ).... /end sarcasm

46 minutes on the spin bike to start the morning, upper body work out this afternoon.
-
We can take this one even further... I have seen posted here and elsewhere that anybody who could put on 10 lbs in a year is a glutton and all that person would need to do is stop eating so dang much food and the weight would just fall right off. Problem is, when you run the numbers, to put on 10 lbs in a year, your…

Stayed active all weekend doing chores around the house, baking stuff for Halloween (we had family over), running errands, etc. Got up this morning and did a brisk 18.4 miles @ 13.4 mph avg. Will be doing upper body stuff later today.

Yesterday was a rest day (by choice) and today turned into a rest because of storms most of the mirning.

Added sugars would be problematic... the US only required that on the label in the last year, so there would be very few, if any, database entries that would have that info.
