We were supposed to believe those were high schoolers.

 

[Steve Vai]

That's what kids looked like back then. It was hard working 5 jobs for 70 cents an hour while walking 100 miles to school everyday in the snow. Ask Rick or Gock. They were there.

Ask Rick or Gock. They were there.

But Iron City quads were 35¢...

I’m in, I was 235.6 this am. At 5’11”, that makes me a fat fuck!

I will figure out a plan and put it on paper. I would love to see the 180’s again!

Today, it’s golf and dinner! I’m really good at that!

Grew up on that stuff, near Pbgh, the generic beer was IC.

I’m in. I finally got around to replacing the batteries in my scale. I was shocked to see 217. At some point this year I had cracked back under 200. I had no idea I have gotten so heavy. It’s kind of disheartening since my diet isn’t that bad and I’ve gotten consistent exercise. I have been riding a lot less, but I still get in at least a couple rides a week. I’ve totally lost interest in road riding lately but I guess I can’t I can’t get around that where I live.

Now: 217

Goal: 190. Race weight is 175 but I know I can maintain 190 without being miserable.

Plan: ride 500 miles in January plus go dry. February goal is to row a sub 7 minute 2k. As much as I hate it will have to count calories and go to bed hungry often.

 

[one piece crank]

I weighed 210 in high school, 240 now, thinking 220 would be ideal. Got woken up this AM by the precursors to a kidney stone, so my caloric intake reduction is starting a whole day early.
😳

Damn, you sound like my twin here. This is kind of my life story right there. Rowing sounds miserable though.

I been intrigued in the rowing because Jarrett has been all about it, but can't seem to make that commitment.

 

[Zaskar]

The end is near or is that the bottom I see...

I have a rower you can have if you want it. I'm going to put it in the dumpster otherwise.

Absolutely can start. The path to the goal is long and winding and different for all. I started at Go.

BITD? are you from around there?

Yeah I plan to grab it

@Patrick

Can we afford a real Yoda on the thread or we keeping Warren?

 

[Steve Vai]

Today.

Bench 5x10 + Curls 5x15.

I ate a bag a donuts instead of lunch. Here's a chart of me overachieving my Weight Gain Goal.

On paper I feel like 15lbs over will suffice. Figure I'll go through 10k calories per day for the first week of ITI and then should adapt and burn less. Adjusting goal to 185ish.
