New Year weight loss plans ???

I would like to lose about 100 pounds, getting back to what I weighed
when I was into triathlon. Unfortunately, since a biking accident left
me with a compressed spine, plantar fasciitis and hyperextended
tendons, and torn rotator cuffs, that kind of exercise regime is simply
not in the cards.

I do need to get out walking more, though.

I meant to write Third we start on the deserts, I quickly down my
desert and proceed to help her with 75% of her desert.

Even so, 25% of any desert is quite a bit. It's like passing a deli and
eating a quarter of all the sand which is there.

side streets my friend!! check out this article

even if you can't commute to work i'm a big advocate of utilitarian
biking. even if it adds 1/3 additional time to your commute, that 1/2
time you would have spent in car is now spent doing some heavy duty
cardio. naturally western more "outdoorsy" states are more supportive
and condusive to this lifestyle, but even if your co-workers think
you're a dork so be it. your abs and your wallet will benefit. (the
savings in gas money, plus lowering my car insurance to "occasional
use" has given me a LOT more money for flying...

a few times i've even biked to FTG (home airport), with a friend,
flight gear in my panniers, and secured bikes in the back of the 182.
at my destination they comes in perfect for getting around and
exploring whatever town we're headed to (and generally much more
reliable than the courtesy car

now bikes AND camping gear get a little too heavy on hot summer days...

hey that's great! yeah summer evenings ARE definetely more condusive
to doing a nice 8 miles ride and treating yourself to ice cream at the
end.

i ride all throught the winter as it's usually dry here in Denver
during the winter, (a few storms but streets dry up fast), and i have
incredibly thin but warm goretex and under armour for skiing anyway
that i wear, but we had a week of 10-15 below here in Denver so I was
happy to take a break during that arctic blast.

Sure, but there are zero calories. So any weight gain would be temporary
(if enormous).

After reaching a safe altitude push the yoke (or stick) forward. The
faster and more forcefully you push it the more weight you will lose.
Unbuckle your seat belt and this weight loss method can be quite
enjoyable.

Seriously, I started running several years ago. Decided I wanted to do
a marathon after my wife did one. Now I run several days a week and am
usually training to shave more time off of the spring marathons I
annually run in Austin and Houston.
Before I started running I ate trash and weighed over 200 pounds. Now
I hover around 160 year-round. I feel better than I ever have. I eat
sensibly and do not idolize food. I don't eat much junk.
There are no secrets or quick-fixes to successful weight loss. It
really is a very simple plan but possibly the most difficult thing
you'll ever do. Eat less, eat well and exercise.

I'm pretty evangelistic about bike commuting too, and have been doing
it for a LOT of years. Once you get used to it, you'll find yourself
making excuses why you CAN ride to work, rather than why you CAN'T.
It's a rare example of "making time" - compared to sitting in traffic
for an hour a day, burning gas and wearing out your car - THEN trying
to find time to go (drive!) to the gym... bike commuting allows you to
have a pleasant ride to work, and then another one coming home, and
usually adds only minutes to the total "commute" time.

My daily ride is 12.5 miles each way, and takes 40 to 45 minutes.
Driving to the same destination takes 25 to 45 minutes (average of ~35
minutes). So for 10 to 20 minutes "investment" I get about an hour
and a half of workout time.

This is going to drive (no pun intended) my choice of aircraft some
day - I need a relatively fast 2-seater with enough room behind the
seats for a couple bikes and luggage. It helps that I own a company
that builds titanium bikes - less impact on W&B.

Suddenly the Murphy Moose looks better...

I checked out your website and saw that your frames are made in China... I
was over at the bike shop a couple of weeks ago looking for a new bike for
my daughter and noticed that *all* the bikes were either made in China or
Taiwan... Doesn't *anyone* make a bike in the USA anymore?

One guy builds frames here in Louisiana. Its for the xtreme sports
people who do stunts and dirt racing. Used to build them here @4R7 and
then moved his operation to Baton Rouge...

.... of course you arrive at work all sweaty.
