Just think of bacon as Filet O' Pigfish. :)


And really, my bacon intake is completely related to your quoting those stupid, horrible Die Hard movies, remember.


This little piggie went to market...

I don't eat meat, so I tend to overload on carbs and cheese and that's my problem. I eat and booze less than I did in college, but I haven't shrunk my portion sizes enough.

I don't know where you are at in your fitness level Kwicko, but I KNOW that you will make that goal by the end of the year. In my experience, if you stick with your training, the fitness curve is steep.

Turkey bacon is a fair enough substitute, for those jonesin' for some bacon.

And at less than 1/2 the calories, you can add in another slice, and feel none of the guilt.

MalsWay and I started bicycling the beginning of April. Every week has been "instant gratification". We have gone from zero to 60+ miles per week.

We do three to four 12-mile laps separately during the week, and those are hill-laden. We do one "long" (30+ miles) and one shorter ride together on the weekends. I think there will be a 40+ mile ride soon. I think the limiting factor will be how much our butts can take!

Our average speed is up 40% from when we started. We're in higher gears now, and much better able to pull hills.

Neither of us has lost an ounce, but we are both far stronger and have far more cardiovascular capacity. And we're eating significantly less. Go figure! (Actually, I have seen this before. Muscle is much more dense than fat.)

Get some decent padded bike shorts/pants and some butt butter and you should be set! I never once had a saddle sore during my charity ride! On my next day off, I'm thinking about riding to the beach.

I'm one of the few here who doesn't ride it seems lol. I've never been able to ride since I stopped as a kid...

I'm a dancer though. I use to dance 6 days a week when I did it competitively! I kept my weight down with no problems back then. Now is a different story...

I don't know how far apart everyone is, but maybe we could at least form a support group? seems theres a few of us who could use it!

Go fire down a thousand year old Twinkie.
What do they put in those things, anyway?

Good news! The only proper measure of fitness is how much force you can generate. However you look or feel is irrelevant, as is your ability to generate minimal amounts of force repeatedly.

Lift heavy; eat until you gag, and then guzzle protein shakes. Remember, isolation exercises are for sissies, and don't forget to squat.
