I'm on day 11 of 17 days off and despite drinking beer + rum and eating ribs, steak, scallops and the like every night I haven't gained a pound. Chasing a 2 and 3.5 year old around the beach all day helps. If I ate better I'd probably have dropped 5-10.

I took all of last week off and stayed the same...I was pleasantly suprised. Although I could tell a week off wasn't good for the swimming endurance

did the treadmill thing today, got done and was walking through the gym area and saw a 10 jumping rope. I literally stopped in my tracks and stared at her

RA, if you got a bum ankle walking on a treadmill with an incline for an hour 4-5 times a week will help with that. Especially during the winter when it's easy to sit around. I watched many a Bruins games last winter on such a device and it works.

I don't really have room for a TM in this place and I sure as hell ain't joining gym again just for it.

Slick, SMD.

Not trying to dial the clock back & do the impossible, just feel a bit more comfortable with my fighting weight.

I actually have an old Univega at the old man's place that likely just needs a major tune-up.

Anybody know a decent place for that & what it typically costs? I'd probably want an estimate first (don't want to spend too much on a 20-year old bike).

Try deep-water running. No stress on the joints, but if you mix in some intervals it's a good cardio workout. Warning though- unless there's some talent poolside, it's ridiculously boring.

i will be trying this today.....I'll probably get bored though, like you said.

and I think I have seen talent ONCE while swimming.....sucks

Ok, done being forum police.

Attalla is every stereotype you have ever heard about Alabama. Such a cesspool.
