Thanatos_I_Am Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Is it a coincidence that Happy Hour GFS supplies the goods right when I pop open this new bottle of Lagavulin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dallen7908 Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Will the cherry blossoms make it to peak bloom this year or will the wind from New England's potential blizzard and our possible snow storm blow them off before they reach the 70% threshold?

May of 2015 I was 230lbs and got a sorta crappy physical. Nothing tragic. Just the typical crap that comes along with getting old and being kinda fat. Doc said I'm at a crossroads. Lose weight and get in shape or most likely start having more serious issues in my 50s. So I drew the line. Total diet change in 2015 with cardio "whenever I felt like it". I quit drinking beer for a while but it didn't last. I did get down to 210-215 though so that was really good. Last summer I started backpeddling and struggling to maintain weight. Plus I drank a lot of beer last summer. Decided in September that I was going to take it to the next level. I couldn't break through the 210 barrier no matter how hard I tried. Strict diet, no alcohol, and an actual routine with cardio and weights. Started feeling really good. It was a buzz in itself. 30 hard minutes on the exercise bike or a 10 mile ride on my regular bike every other day with no excuses. Days off of cardio were 30-60 minutes of strength training and yoga. Yes, yoga. Everyone can stop laughing at me. lol. I have the highest respect for hard core yoga people now. That S will kick your A. I just broke below 195lbs last week. Never thought I'd see the day. I get it with having a young one though. It's hard. Very time consuming. And the last thing you want to do is spend your free time sweating your ass off and getting sore as hell. But there will be plenty of time in the future. I went from excellent shape in my 30s to a fat 46 year old. But turned it all around in less than 2 years. Anybody can do it. I am 39 so not too far behind you. Beat myself up pretty good with some ski injuries and soccer earlier in life. But I think I'm ready to commit to losing 20 lbs or so. I hate feeling out of shape. Congrats on your journey.

I did one road trip for a snow event this winter. Was a ton of fun, but not doing it again. How about a nice late spring barbecue in May when it can really be enjoyed? I would show for that. I don't get up to my old stomping grounds enough lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Late enough in may and my pool could be open. I have over 2 acres and enough driveway and expandable driveway (side lawn) to park at least 15 cars. Would be a lot of fun to have a get together. It's nice up here in summer. When it's 90 in DC it's usually in the low 80s with a cool breeze up here on the ridge. Of course the cfs says we might still be tracking snow.

I'm right at the top of Dug Hill Ridge just north of Manchester about 1100 feet. It can get stupid windy in storms here but in the summer the constant breeze is awesome.

The ncaa tourney is unquestionably the best compact playoff to champion event in sports. Nothing comes close. Brackets are also the greatest pool event in sports too. Love me some brackets.

Didn't know you were from the Manchester area. Not such a strategic move for a snow lover. Edit: I see it was Gamber. I still stick with my strategic move comment.
