Nice perspective and a great point. I hope that is widespread.

Fitness has to be earned, worked for, no free lunch! But I like it like that. Don't know that the connection is really right but nonetheless I am currently hearing in my head "Get your money for nothing and your chicks for free!" That's about as likely as getting toned legs from a pair of shoes! (No offense intended if you…

Got to agree. I bought my Roubaix as the 09's were coming out and it is a 07. I traded my old bike so I got out for a very reasonable investment. My lbs now has a wide selection of last years models (Giant, Masi, Jamis) priced to go. I have done very well buying used bikes, but as noted above used carbon is always a risk,…

2007 Specialized Roubaix on the road and a 2010 Giant XTC-1 on trails. Love 'em both!

The media sensationalizes everything; it's just what they do. And I fall for it and read the articles! This one had some very basic helpful information but also some stuff that can easily be misconstrued and used to justify poor behavior. But on the chip comment, I see that totally differently. The article says that lean…

Congrats AZackery! Well done. I've been watching and pulling for you for a long time and I'm proud of you for hanging in there. For me strict diet and a lot of cardio offers the best weight loss. But strength training is crucial and too many people overlook it in their quest to lose weight. I'm so gald you hung in. If you…

One more day!!!!

Wow, two days left, it's hard to believe! Well done.

There is a lot of wisdom in what c2sky writes and I can't add anything to it so I won't try. As another poster said, like all professions there are good ones and bad ones. No single one represents all the others. A good one is worth a lot in a pursuit of fitness and health. I used a good one who was invaluable to me for a…

Hilarious movie!

Great nsv! I have trouble walking a 12% grade!

Sorry for your personal problem but life happens, just get back on it asap and you will be fine. You are doing great!

If you hiked where your profile pic is you must have had a great hike!

Sunday 9/11 - 90 minute mountain bike ride I guess this is it for the challenge. I think I rode or ran 20 of the 21 days. Rest day tomorrow!

Still at it huh, good for you!!!

Ok I have to show my age here. #1 Led Zepplin #2 Steppenwolf Both in country music capitol Nashville TN in 1969 (I think!) To the guy who wrote that no one puts on a show like Pink Floyd, agreed they are fantastic, but Zepp set the unbroken standard for all ages! This concert was between their 2nd and 3rd albums and they…

Just noticed that I left out the "minutes" after 60. I guess you could figure that out though, I'm just doing this correction because I am an accountant and accountants compulsively correct errors!

Thursday 9/1 - 60 mountain bike ride

c2sky this is what I do for a living. I am happy to help in any way that I can. Just let me know.

Are you wanting to monitor your personal finances or business? And does it have to be online? I use Microsoft Money on my desktop for home budgeting, but it is no longer available. Quicken is still around. For business I use Quickbooks. I find it easier than Peachtree. I think Quickbooks has an online version. One could…
