That counts as running more than 10 mph I believe:wink:

Smart move to get the family involved Buddy! You'll get there. (Latest at mile 2800 of the ride across the US:wink: )

:smile:

That's wonderful. I love your positive attitude. Certainly not easy after all you went through.

No miles for me this week. Rest week. :cry: Sorry.

Nice link. Thank you. Interesting to literally visually see what you can eat as alternative to a hamburger.

Shorerider and jadaigle: I plan to ride the Seagull century too!!! Wouldn't it be fun to ride together and train for it together? I hope you are not too fast for me. I know shorerider will leave me way behind:wink: and it looks as if jadaigle is in great shape too, so you'll have too take it easy on the old man. :wink: I…

I think I am just going to play with that a litle. I am not diabetic, but I think it makes sense to keep you blood sugars low or to not drive them high as you would with a donut and then be hungry again in an hour. I am loking for things I can eat before I go on a long ride that will fill me, are not heavy and last long.…

SM, I am a biker, but I know that in any sport you should do someything else while you take a break from your training. Like a biker can not bike at that time, but running and swimming is good. I don't see any reason why biking would hurt you. Only thing I see might be negative is that if you really go up that many hills…

Well what do you want people to say? They can't say you do not look great:wink:

Thanks. A lot of beans (7 cans?) I'll try it.

I tried bran cereals today 'cause I read that lower glycemic food lasts you longer, fills you better or what ever you want to call it. It works! 4 hours later I still feel full! Does anybody have recipes for low glycemic foods? Not that the bran cereal tastes really great, but if it works, I'll eat it.

Princess: I have different routes that I explored over the years. For long rides I have a veeeeery quiet route down the Delaware river. Shorter rides I ride in the neighborhood. Actually the last 9 miles were very hard. I am working this wekend, Saturday morning after 12 hrs I was too tired, this morning I was tired too…

Princess the book is for .... err.. well .... older people telling them with a lot of a lot of exercise you can get even older. You are too young for that yet:wink: (But it is very good reading, I highly recommend it.)

Albert is turning his back on us is what it is:wink:

Ahhhhhh come on! Hang in there! You'll be back on the bike in 3 days and can get all your frustration out! (Sending flowers and a hug)

I too have a gym member ship. Like shorerider said, the weight loss is because of the biking. BUT!: the gym membership is for rainy days when I can not bike, for the winter when rainy days happen naturally more often and because only biking is too... one sided. You need to train other muscle groups too.

Today I finally did a tour I had planned for a long time. Route 9 takes you all the way along the Delaware river to the bay, if you follow it long enough. It is not used much anymore for people travel down to the shore, at least not the upper part. So there is very little traffic. I could count the cars that passed me in…

Hi Glammy and :flowerforyou: welcome to MFP:flowerforyou: If you ride a bike join the biker's challenge. You can set your own goals.

After reading your previous posts I am really glad to see that sucess! That's great! Now, if every once in a while you have a bad day, you can just get back on track. And you ARE loosing weight. Good job!

I hear you! Talking to your doctor is a good idea. I forgot that you are diabetic. That makes it even more challenging. If you can not eat too many carbs then all the power bars and such will not work for you:frown: Sounds though as if you are are on the right track with all the research you are doing. See, I am a little…

Yup! And you do some serious exercise too! Maybe you underestimate your effort or are very ambitious? Or you just have fun? I can tell you a lot of stories of people who were wondering why they did not have the success they wanted or suddenly just lost interest, got injured. Don't look at what you are doing as "just riding…

Tuesday: 2528 Miles. Check Wednesday: 15 - 14 Miles. Check Thursday: 45 Saturday: 15

Good decision! I hopr that does not come out wrong, but with the miles you usually ride you NEED to read up about training dear! You are hurting yourself and you risk that you get tired and don't want to ride anymore. (Overtraining). I am suprised that did not happen earlier. You are not just riding around the block…

kwelshw, you should not only put your calories on maintenance, but also consider loading carbs. I Triathlon is a serious race and you need all the energy you can get. Google the web for "carb loading". You'll find plenty of information. And it really does give you a boost for that day. You can worry about weight loss again…

Enjoy the paint job Bamboo. I painted years ago a bathroom with a seascape. Lighthouses and beaches and sdeabirds, boats on the water... was really fun. familybugs, I am very impressed! How do you find the time with 3 kids?
