Not sure if I am going to make 190. My body seems to like 200 as it constantly goes back there with the slightest addition to consumption.

Been reading up on interval training for the airdyne. My monotonous cardio routine of 50 minutes @ 4 might have been the reason for plateau. Going to try and mix in some much higher difficulty for 30-60 seconds and dropping down to 2.5-3 in 3-4 minute rest periods for the 50 minutes vs just the one pace.
How tall are you? 200 is awesome if your around 6 feet.

Dave, Interval training is a good idea, just watch your heart rate.

194 this morning. Been a tough week. Hopefully today and tomorrow are "moving days".

Tried some "intervals" on the airdyne last night. .8 miles normal pace (4), .2 miles at "max" (about 7.5 if that means anything to anyone). Max kicks your butt.

Not sure where this leads but it certainly changed the dynamic.

Keep on hangin', brother. I'll keep watching to see what happens.
I'm still stuck in this mid-190's area. That's good, I suppose, because I haven't given any of this stuff much attention (read : zero attention) at all for the last month or so.

MMMM....Director of Corporate Fitness. I have been thinking about a good retirement gig.

Kudos on the continued success, Dave.

Great job. Now if I only had motivation. I'd like to be about 150-160 with more muscle than fat. I'd also love to improve my cardio. I guess it's time to hit the gym and get a brace for my wrist so I can lift.

Went on a boys trip to Ogelbay to play golf and stimulate the economy $1 at a time this past weekend. Drank, drank and then drank some more.

Great time but ugly on the Sunday reality check on my scale. Back below 189 today and looking for a final little 2 week push before calling for stability - whatever that is. Targeting 181 for Friday morning this week. By next friday want to stabilize and see if I can stay at 180-185 as "the new normal". Might not be realistic but not going to fret about a few.

Looking for a new obsession, been working with an architect to design an addition for the shack.
