7 Pound Turkey Challenge

[SkinBasket]

I recommend timing your pig-outs earlier in the day when your metabolism is still relatively high.

I only eat a lot when I drink, so that would require me to become a daytime drunk. I see the benefits of such a move, but there might also be a negative effect on my workouts.

200.8
breakfast: a banana
lunch: blueberry bagel with honey and butter, water, and a handful of combos.
diner: bacon apple sandwich with mayo, onion, and provolone on pane toscano bread, water, and pecan ice cream.
exercise: 1.5 mile variable speed circuit, 60 balance ball sit-ups.

First time in a couple months that I used NO-Xplode, so I was up half the night in a delirious half-sleep, alternating between casually molesting my wife, massaging my calf craps, and fighting off heartburn.

I just hurt my shoulder.

I'm out.

If you're really out, you need to call someone a cunt first.

Your wife is one lucky little lady.

What's with the noticeable absence of "cheese cubes" or whatever they were called?

Alright, I'm back in. I'm running a 10 mile race in a week, but feel like puking everytime I get to around 6 miles.

That does not bode well for miles 7-10 next week. But with any luck you will have the wind at your back and not a head wind.

It's a yearly thread. Weigh yourself, put up what you ate during the day and what exercise you did. Putting it into writing makes you realize how much you eat and how little you exercise and might help change the trend.

Gotcha'. Thanks.

I won't play. I'm a skinny fugger that works out 3-4 days a week (otherwise I go bat-shit crazy) who can eat everything in sight without breaking 160#.

In other words, no fun and probably worth your hate.

Your wife is one lucky little lady.

Sometimes I punish her by seducing her in the wee hours of the morning when I know she has to get up early. Last night was mostly just confused groping as part of my half dreams. But, yes, she is lucky.

Been awhile since I had the cubes. Excellent call.

Then you have to participate. Part of the fun is the exchange of failed and successful ideas. That was the part Partial couldn't handle and led to highly predictable - actually predicted, injuries and then lots of anger and insults directed at the very people who tried to help him.

We all welcome a peek into what makes your routine work. It's a welcome refreshment from our failures.

You young pups and your high mileage. I'm finally running a mile out there in the dark streets of early morning, and that's with the unfair assistance of being dragged by a pair of golden doodles and a husky-lab mix that considers any increase in pace an invitation to start the first leg of the Iditarod. Thank God for the anonymity of 5 am or I would be more embarrassed than I am of the lopsided, mucus-gargling, shambling mess of a road show I call my morning run

Do any of you run in 5K, 10K events? I ask because I should be ready for the upcoming Turkey Trot, theoretically, but I am anxious about the possible reactions of any of the walkers who pass me as I am running. At the least I fear that I will excite mere disgust in my fellow Turkey Trotters when they hear my wheezing and gasping, and, at the worst, I fear someone will call the EMT's and I'll be tackled and gurnied off the course before I can settle into my 12 minute mile pace.

Would I be the only obnoxiously loud gasp-breather in the race, or is that par for the course at the tail end of these community races?

Not sure where you live; it’s either on a farm in Blue Earth county or somewhere in the vicinity of the Fox River Valley…….but my take on those Turkey Runs is that they are so damn crowded (Minneapolis) that the pack never gets above a 12 minute mile pace anyway. You should be fine.

[Freak Out]

I don't run at all anymore....it just hurts to much. I ride both road and MTBs a bunch...and then ski a load here in winters. My problem is I don't do it enough to balance out my drinking and eating so I have to kick it up a notch. I'm not giving up beer.....
I am now doing some cardio everyday (no skipping) plus walking with my wife every night....and am also hitting some weights as well. I broke my bike trainer so may buy a spin bike off of Craigslist to put in front of the TV for game days and such. We'll see.......

Madtown should let you read the unedited version of the first Turkey thread. Then you would know just how unannoying you are. Speaking of which, are you Mexican, or do you just love you some burrito?
