Dialing back Ibu usage...

Thanks Chvy. Feel perty good this morning... BUT... no activity over the last 3 days... so... gonna split some this morning and see how things go.

 

I must eat lots of ice cream, since stopping I'm down to 203.5.

 

I agree 100%. I went from a soft 230 to a lean 170 in about 6 months. It made a huge difference in every aspect of my life. Didn't really try to, although when it started happening I consciously made a small effort with my eating habits.

Ironically, it all started happening right when I got my stove. Something about all that wood processing was burning extra calories.

 

I GAIN weight when cutting wood somehow?!

I was up to 220 last summer by the end of cutting season. I lost about 15lbs through winter.

Haven't ate ice cream in a LONG time. many years. Once in a while I'll get stupid and try and then I'm sick for days afterward. I can tell within seconds normally if something is loaded with dairy as it sorta burns my throat.
None of those magic pills work. Only cure is not touching it! Good thing I find milk to be disgusting anyhow!

 

Been hovering at about 230 for almost 2 weeks.
Maintained about 235 all winter, then this spring went up to close to 240. DAVE..........WAKE UP.
Need a good kickstart to lose more before winter hits again, so back to the salads.

 

That would explain why I'm up... cause you like ice cream...

 

That's my move too, vegs, salads & fruits. I eat vegs everyday anyway.

Just got back in from splitting a couple splitter tanks and stacking. Feel better than I thought I would at this point (no Ibu 4th day). Usual aches, etc. Nothing really bad... yet. I have of way of seizin' up afterwards sometimes...

 

I like to blame my mother when she brings goodies back from the store.
I made a German Sweet Choc. cake yesterday and promptly ate 2 pieces. Then, I had a salad.
DOH!
I've heard donut holes have no calories, and all the bad stuff falls out of cake after you cut it.
Can anyone verify this for me?

 

I've had pictures of high mega cal stuff cause me to gain... So... how was the cake besides AWESOME!!! ... I'm sitting here with my feed bag tied around my neck full of mixed vegs. Between not eating what I want to and the lack of Ibu in my diet... my bride's about ready to roll me off the tailgate down some backroad... soon... somethin' about being grumpy...

 

If I get grumpy, my wife tells me to knock it off.
Like I can just flip a switch or something..........
I forgot....the cake is ok......from a box and a little container of GSC frosting.
No where near as gooder as my homemade 3 layer version.
Not even close.

 

Nope... don't bother me at all hearin" bout that cake... no sirree... ...

 

That was my go-to birthday cake for many years.

 

Now you guys got me wanting some cake I hardly ever eat cake

 

Reminds me of the Bill Cosby routine.

 

Welp... I ain't dead yet with no Ibu (5th day). This morning was noticably harder to get going, but once I did, was OK. I wasn't so grumpy today according to the boss. Burned all of the old slimy slabwood I had under the 2nd yr wood. Didn't even take pics cause it burned so chitty/smokey... gud er done tho in 4 hrs. I would love to take at least 3 Ibus, which was the usual dose, but I'm off to bed and that'll help a lot.

 

Sometimes getting connected with some good physical therapy can get you on some routines that strengthens some of those parts which are giving you so much pain. Also teaches you different moves to keep you from injuring yourself .
Also can teach you some relaxation techniques.

 

Good nights rest helps....usually.
Not 100%, but it helps.
