By walker on 11/27/2007 on walker's blog Let me illustrate my Thanksgiving-day plate for you; I imagine it closely resembles yours. To start: two helpings of dark meat and one of white, stuffing, mash potatoes, sweet potatoes, green bean casserole and cranberry sauce. To finish: one order of pecan pie closely connected to the already finished slice of pumpkin pie. And, this was just round one. |

Man loses 100 Pounds in 12 Months
|
By BigAgnes on 10/20/2006 on BigAgnes's blog I read a great story about this guys who decided that he absolutely needed to lose some weight. He was hovering at about 350 Pounds, and things were out of control. He bought himself a Beach Cruiser, and for the next six months, he would bike 1 mile a day...that's it, just 1 mile a day. He lost 50 pounds in the first six months. As a reward, he added an additional mile to his daily regimen. For the next six months, he would bike 2 miles a day. He then lost an additional 50 pounds over the next six months, for a total of 100 pounds in 12 months. Is that amazing or what? The power of two wheels |
Big Agnes Rides Again
|
By BigAgnes on 10/12/2006 on BigAgnes's blog Here is my Blog. Every day, or at least when I can, I will try to post an update to a daily peak into my life. I'm in the Army, and have been for about 17 years. I've been on two wheels for about 30 years. These Posts will be about myself, my family, and the trials and tribulations of a man just trying to get another ride in. Thanks for checking it out. |
What about my upper body?
![]() By Steve Outing on 6/3/2006 I feel like that guy in the IMBA ad standing next to 3 bodybuilders. Thanks to all the mountain biking, road riding and running I do, my lower half is in decent shape. But the top half looks pretty wimpy. I *know* I should lift weights, do push-ups and all that stuff ... but it's so BORING! (Apologies to weightlifting enthusiasts.) I constantly start lifting weights -- I have a home gym -- but it typically lasts about a week before I stop. Since a stronger upper body would undoubtably help my mountain biking, what can I do to get my upper body in shape without dying of boredom in the process? |
