Truths I learned the hard way.

With heart disease, stroke, cancer and obesity rampant in my family I have always kept being healthy a priority. Sometimes in the pursuit of health, I try some wacky scheme or diet and then I feel like and ass for being dumb.
This is a list of the things I learned the hard way and some things that became my favorites.
1. I love the idea of running but actauly hate doing it. I love it when I stop though because stopping running feels so damn good.
2. Carbs, protien and fat all make me fat if I don't use them properly.
3. Whey powder makes me gassier than a steam train.
4. Power bars are not food.
5. Rice is rocket fuel. Beans and rice with eggs are the perfect long day of riding breakfast.
6. Fruit and vegetables are unlimited.
7. Planned, balanced meals eliminate cravings.
8. Riding my bike makes me feel like what all those commercials tell me I will feel like if I buy their products.
9. Alcohol may seem like fun, but riding my bike feeling good is a thousand times better.
10. Yoga takes my body, gives it a hug and tells it that it will all be ok. It strengthens every part of me and leaves gives me a calm that I take with me down Cypress.

What kinda beans? Prep the night before or cook up with yer eggs?

yes, tell us more about this

5. Rice is rocket fuel. Beans and rice with eggs are the perfect long day of riding breakfast.

Black beans from the can. Heat leftover white rice (cooked) and then add the beans. Add various spices and voila.
The best is the Costa Rican version. Gallo Pinto.

9. Alcohol may seem like fun, but riding my bike feeling good is a thousand times better.

Alcohol after a long day of riding is better than Walter White's meth.

Kn.

9. Alcohol while riding my bike, feeling good is a thousand times better than water from a stinky plastic bladder.

Revised #9 for you :)

Sorry, you lost me at this whole Teetolar concept.

Regarding number three, have you tried other forms of protein powders, or just whey from a specific manufacturer?

Also, Beano works, but my farts smell like roses so I don't need to take them.

I found when I switched from a whey based protein to vega that I had less inflammation and pain in my joints.

For me it's an allergic response. That might be why it makes you gassy. You body may not be happy with it.

please no.

the last thing anyone needs is you eating more beans.

It's actually the dairy. I don't handle it very well. Vega wasn't much better but egg protein has worked well.

Whoa! Hold the beer kart right there folks. I meant that riding with out a hangover is great. Nothing was said about abstinence.

Exactly… Not that I do a lot of dairy, but it only seems to be when it is in whey form that affects me so much.

Not to be a vega add, but their post workout pre protien powder really helps with recovery. I am much less sore if I take that right after, and 30 min before protien.
