Oh yikes. Mountain lions are the only creatures that scare me out on the trails. I guess grizzlies would, but we don't have those here. People on bikes are at more risk, because the speed will trigger their prey response. I'm glad it ran away. They will if you make yourself large and loud, which might be what the runner did.
YOU. YOU could invent it, you ####### endlessly frustrating man child, and you invent it again and again like ok I'm just going to be good 6 days a week and then I'll have a day off on Saturdays I wonder if anyone has ever tried this before and then oops it's Sunday brb need more wine and don't forget Friday Junior because you have also repeatedly invented the three day weekend and then you go from furure Olympian Michael Phelps to post Olympics Michael Phelps when he got caught with a bong and it's like you binged so hard you gave yourself a total memory wipe and some unspecified time in the future the cycle starts anew with you inventing the ####### 6 day weekend again if this were a movie about Otis' life the part of Otis would be played by Otis but the villain would be Otis and it would be like a ####ty Scooby-Doo style detective movie where you found all the evidence and just kept coming to the wrong conclusions while the camera pans to evil Otis in the mirror laughing at you and then he'd do random #### like shake the beer fridge and ho de do what was that clinking noise I should go check it out and someone would say it's the beer and you'd be like nah can't be the beer it was probably some ghost shaking chains and evil Otis just laughs and laughs and everyone would be like hey that guy in the mirror with the maniacal laugh maybe he's the bad guy and we'd all see him unmasked and then you'd be like nah, it's the guy who invented weekends, humans were never expected to have so much free time it's unhealthy and everyone would groan again.
I am wondering if the noise from the bikes is what scared it. The ratchets in the free hub bodies are rather noisy. I’d also think the bikes would make us look bigger, but the prey response is definitely a thing. The reality is that they are out there and there are probably other times I’ve been in close proximity to one without knowing it. I view it as a minuscule risk factor
Oh, it's definitely a miniscule risk. A couple of years ago a cyclist here was killed by one, but it was the first death from a mountain lion in Washington in almost 100 years. I'm certain they've been nearby on trails before. For the most part they don't want anything more to do with us than we do with them.
I've done that one. It sucks, but it's a good workout.Yoga people might enjoy Adriene's 50-minute Deepen and Flow, as it's more challenging than most of hers. After a whole lot of three-legged-dog/knee-to-wherever, Warriors, and lunges, she then goes into a sequence where you lift your knee for a bit, then cross your ankle over your other knee, then lift the knee, then Warrior Threes, then lift knee, then eventually, blessedly, put your leg down. I felt proud I'd accomplished that one, with poor form but without falling over, and then she said, "We're only going to do three of these on each side."
Set a reminder in your calendar to post this same thing on Friday. Friday Otis has a substantially different decision making process than Monday Otis.
If your metabolism reacts like mine, no significant weight will be lost in the first 3 weeks. After that, it just falls off. Also, expect to crave sweets.
Week 0: Goal - lose 18 pounds
Please don't do this, it engages his schtick response and he'll come back with some new plan where he only drinks the first glass of a new bottle of wine so he can't have two glasses unless they have company or Mrs. O gets #### housed.
No offense intended but I’ve been in here since Day 1 - Otis has always been about the schtick. Eating nothing but an apple and can of tuna would be better than what he’s doing and would be entertaining.
None taken I've been here too and agree that he's always been about the schtick. I was mostly kidding too and am a bit unnerved by him using the thinky emoji on my last post. But credit where it's due, he really is at his lowest weight in years and maybe just maybe this is the one that sticks.
Now that you're almost done what were your results like? Is it worth doing this series over a bunch of Adriene's or just a good alternative but they're both good?
chablis diet i presented this to@Otis i think it was the "no more than one bottle of wine" that held him back.
I like his method of moving beyond just yoga to hit muscles and movements with strength and stretches that may be neglected in just a yoga practice. He spends a lot of time on making sure you're activating the right muscles to get the most benefit from different moves/poses.
It's always hardest the first few days. But all schtick aside, i know sometimes your weight fluctuates above 240 but you've been maintaining around 225 to 230 for years. Just think how awesome it would be to just be done with this and yeah sometimes your weight fluctuates above 200 but you've been maintaining around 190 to 195 for years. Wouldn't that feel awesome? It doesn't happen in three days of giving up booze but it can totally happen if you want it and you have been doing so many of the right things.
No it won't. Now, if he gets through both this weekend AND Memorial Day weekend...then he might be onto something. Still a very long way to go though. Especially heading into summer.
Is that the following weekend? All the more reason to, at least, make it through this weekend. Knowing that the next weekend, will be a #### show.
Dude you are dealing with so much I am so proud of you for all you have been doing. Really stop and think about it you are amazing.
Yeah good points. I think so far I just haven’t wanted it bad enough. I will say though that 190–195 is a pipe dream for me these days, probably not where I should be. 205 or so would probably be perfect. I’m only 20lbs away. But damn if those 20lbs aren’t the toughest….
Congrats on your progress man. Even that 60 minutes on the bike will be a huge help. And don’t be so hard on yourself—cancer is I would say a fairly good excuse…. Jeez. Congrats on all and keep it up.
This could actually be a great opportunity. Otis doesn't always get his act together between December and March, but if he is going to have any successful periods it's generally during that period. It makes sense too. If his travel is limited then he's not doing much in winter and can focus on good decision making. In-structure Otis isn't the problem. But the not doing much part starts to break in March then the flood gates open come summer and out-of-structure Otis wins again. So if he's going to have some sustained success then this is when to do it, when the devil side is more likely to consistently win. If he wants it bad enough then he'll pass on the typical summer drinks and the bad decisions that follow, beating that devil - and get his health in order.
With all the stuff you’re doing, it’s sure to be good news.Thanks - I'm nervous.
