2010 STR Weight-Loss Challenge

Now your speaking my language! :bang:

 

The 30lb weight vest killed me on my road rides. I can't go back to the way I was......

 

Nicely done everyone!!! :clap:

 

I am actually not losing a lot of weight, but I have lost about an 1 1/2" off my waist, and am stronger, and my endurance is up. I flew UP GMR Saturday, it was great completely destroyed my buddy and today on the commute home on the fixie and baggies dogged all the dudes in the full kits and hopped up road bikes all the way down the River Trail....I will take that.

 

Dino,
I hate those jugs - they switched from a plastic handle to that cruddy tape handle. I found a Von's jug that has a plastic handle.
I used to really like Crystal, they built that plant right on 395 near Olancha.

I'll have to make it out to one of the WLC rides even though I'm on the shelf til Oct.

Congrats to everyone!

 

He said jugs, hehe,hehe

 

Some motivation, please!

I pushed it really hard at Turnbull yesterday so I don't really feel like going again today. BUT I know it will be good for me to go (exercise)! I just wanna crawl in bed and take a looooong nap. So start talking about the WLC ride today, people!!! Hehe. THANK YOU!!!

 

Tara, You should really go. You already know that getting there will be half the battle and once the ride is over you will feel spectacular. I would be going if I didn't have a softball game tonight.

 

Tara you could DRIVE to south OC and join the other group :wave:

 

a good way to make sure you go is to carpool. then you have to go. I can't make it tonight, but will be on the loop the Sat. I can't keep skipping church to ride on Sun.

ezzy, sounds like all in all it was a good ride.

Keep up the good work everyone.

FG1, let me now if youi're vailable Fri. I can do the loop in the morning.

I will prob miss tonight I have been pushing it hard lately. I'm so from Turnbull last night and need to rest for Utah. I'm so sore.

 

nice work dino... keep it up

 

I will be at the turnbull ride today, with my bruses and scars been almost two months since i last rode turnbull!

 

WHOA, an hour and a half to go 20 miles #-o!!! Gotta love LA!
Thanks for the responses everyone!!! Unfortunately, I got home way later than expected so I already strapped on my running shoes and plan to also do at home weights in the interest of time! Got a lot of errands to do. Thanks for the motivation to still get moving though!

P.S. I'm sorry to anyone who is coming from LA to Turnbull.... the drive is gonna SUCK!!!

 

Had some vacation & comp time, so today's my first day back after 6 off from work. Rode 4 of those 6 days (2 days filled with family commitments) and swam laps one day too. Feeling a little fatigued today, but I'm already itching to get back out there. One week left - Woot Woot!

 

Dino, I don't know how you're doing it (and probably don't want to know) but that prize list is AMAZING!

Well done, Mr. Mayor.
