Getting Into Shape for 2008!

[Mr. Beanz]

Found this pic form 4 years and 20/25 lbs ago! Was my best year on the bike and man did I feel good! I'm making a promise to myself to get back into shape for 2008. Gonna do the KOM,The Triple Crown, and kick some ***! I'm tired of being fat. I'm getting into shape starting now DAMMIT!:mad:

Who is with me? :)

Who cares that I'm a bit older, I can do it!

It's too early to give up on 2007. One year at a time, dude!

[Happytime]

I'll join ya, Beanz! I gotta get back into race shape and drop a few percentage points. I think with the shorter days I'll be incorporating more running days into my week, so hopefully I can trim the excess fat off. Every year, it gets a little harder and harder... :o

[thomson]

Sounds like Leaner Meaner Beaner!!! Go Freddy Go!!!!

[merider1]

I'm in...only I need to get my widened load leaner now before the Fall Solvang Double. :D

What part about leaning out the widened load did you not get? :rolleyes::D

[thomson]

The imagination part.

[merider1]

The imagination part.

:rolleyes: Look it, I'm going to lighten my bike one way or the other so that I can keep up with your Bianchi and Joy's specialized.

[merider1]

Hey Beanz? Does this mean you're going to plan/organize some "get your ass in shape NOW!" rides? :D

[thomson]

:rolleyes: Look it, I'm going to lighten my bike one way or the other so that I can keep up with your Bianchi and Joy's specialized.

Did you say "Look"? Lots of people buying Looks lately.

[merider1]

Did you say "Look"? Lots of people buying Looks lately.

NO. Nor did I say "prostitution" - which is what I'd have to resort to in order to afford one. :rolleyes:

And they call me the thread derailer! :rolleyes::p

[merider1]

I'm not derailing anything, Happylongtime! I'm merely pointing out that I have to either lose weight or sell sexual services to men on the street to make my goal of lightening my bike for both the Solvang Double and 2008. I can't think of anything more aligned to this topic.

[thomson]

NO. Nor did I say "prostitution" - which is what I'd have to resort to in order to afford one. :rolleyes:

That's what I did.

[merider1]

That's what I did.

Derailer! Now, drop and give Mr. Beanz 20! :D

Derailer! Now, drop and give Mr. Beanz 20! :D

That would be awesome if he made it on as a competitor. :D We'd have to get a contingent of SoCalBF'ers to go cheer for him. :D

[Mr. Beanz]

My sister sent me a pic of myself at 20 or there about...
Boy, long unkemp hair and, if only I still had that physique..

so I have a before, you have the during, and now coming up, the after!!

[Grumpy Pig]

If you want to be on American Gladiators, I heard from a reliable source (one of the guys at the gym) that this was the test at the San Diego Sports Arena when they had open auditions.
1. Do 50 fingertip pushups.
2. Run a 40 in, if I remember correctly, 4.6 or 4.8.
3. Do 17 behind the neck pullups in a time limit.
4. They hand you a football and you had to run a short distance and cross between 2 trashcans. Oh, there were 2 guys that looked like Beanz that you had to get past.

#1 cut the field in half. #2 pared it down at least another half. There were 6 guys left for #4.

There was a woman that worked out at the same gym I did who played Blaze. She was very nice and very shy. She is the first woman I've seen do a 225 lb. benchpress.

That leaves me out. I don't know how to get to the San Diego Sports Arena!:D

Thanks Mr B....
It's horrible how it, the weight, creeps up on you, I was 175 when I came to the US, I went up to 225...now I'm around 200 I guess...I never weigh myself...
I can highly recommend the Lean Cuisines..they have around 180-230 Calories...at first it feels like you can eat 4 of them..but it's just a case of persevering....I eat 3 a Day at work...sometimes only two...

By the way, I wanna join you and the Guys on one of your SART rides, they sound like a lot of fun...I'll bring drew12 with me...he's a great guy to ride with as you probably know...

Where exactly do you start from? Could you give me the cross streets?? If you don't mind me joining you Guys that is...:(

[Luwin1026]

+1,000,000. She must mean the fat between her ears. :rolleyes::p


Awwww . . .that's mean to say that Happytime has a FAT FACE!!!! :eek:

[merider1]

Awwww . . .that's mean to say that Happytime has a FAT FACE!!!! :eek:

:rolleyes: Don't go trying to start a fight between Happylongtime and me. I, for one, do not believe make up sex is all that great. :p

Oh, and it's her gray matter that is obese when she says she needs to lose weight!

We start at Imperial and the 91 fwy. There is a parkinglot behind the In-N-Out at Lapalma and Imperial, we park way in the back near Aaron Brother's Artmart. We don't usually start till about 9:45-10 am. Kind of late but Gina is one that will stretch out every last minute to stay in bed. Let me know what day you want to ride with us, maybe I can get her out there at a scheduled time. We'll be out there on Sunday.

I'm not exactly sure where we will ride on Sunday. Gina has been suffeing with the heat when we head back inland. I was thinking maybe starting at the Fiestation/stadium/leaky faucet. Taking her to Backbay, but have never been through there. That's where Drew comes in but he's afraid of Gina.:p

You're right, Drew is a good guy but he avoids riding with us cause Gina keeps dropping him!:D

[octico]

I need to lose some pounds too. 2007 was not good at all. 2008 will be good my new job will allow more time for riding and running.

[herbm]

but he avoids riding with us cause Gina keeps dropping him!:D


I know that feeling also!!:rolleyes:

The Backbay would be ideal for Gina, there's always a cooling breeze blowing up there from the Ocean...even the last few weeks when it's been hot!!

We live right on the BB trail, my Wife rides too although she hasn't ridden that much since her back surgery, so any time you wanna join us just let me know, we'll be doing it tomorrow....and Drew of course....he always has an open invitation...oh, I just re-read your post, but if you change your mind on location let me know....

Plus I'll deffinately join youz on one of your SART rides soon!!

[Mr. Beanz]

Hey Jag, I'd be interested in riding BB tomorrow. I PM'd you for some info cause I have no idea where you would start from or how to coordinate a meet up time and place. If Drew goes, I'm not letting Gina race him casue she's out of form right now!:D

[Jaguar27]

Mr B...I just PMed you back

[bigdraft]

I'm in pretty good shape now, but the off season is starting now and so will my bad behaviors, well at least when it comes to the holidays. My goal for this coming fall and winter is to keep my weight down to where it is (195 lbs) or even lose a few more. I would love to hit the beginning of next season at 185 or so, but that might be a bit unrealistic. But I also have to be sure I'm losing fat and not muscle mass. One ironic factor that plays into the weight loss thing is at my age muscle mass atrophies at an increasingly alarming rate when I hit 50, or so it seems to me. So keeping muscle on and fat off will be my goal.
