chapter 30: I rule the mic like a fascist


"Can't settle for nothing less, trying to prove myself since I was born."

"If I could I'd stop caring, I don't like hearing I'm not good enough."


167 is what the scale read when I woke up this morning. That's 8 lbs since Monday for those of you scoring at home.Truth is I am not really all that hungry. I just don't feel good. I feel tired. I slipped into wrestling mode a bit yesterday, as with a super busy day at work, I didn't eat enough. Yeah read that again, I didn't eat enough and skipped 2 almonds, and half an apple by the end of the day. I felt kinda sick when I fell asleep on the couch last night.I stood up to get off the couch this morning and I fell over. I hoped Diane didn't hear my crashing into the shelf, but she did. I have been very prone to head rushes.

Did the Queen B today. It was a small group as the lance armstong effect guys don't ride if the conditions aren't perfect. That was okay with me, if some guy who wants this to be his weekly race stayed home, it made the pace better, and I could hang on then. It was a fine group today Rob (ntntamfmb20), Bianchi Mike, Fitzy, Dennisbike, Jaime, Nancy and Lauri (the said queen b's) We set a nice pace. Like I said everyone knew what they were doing and no one was trying to prove their manhood on this B ride. A good day I guess. I don't enjoy the road, but it was too wet to trail ride, and I don't have the gas to push the mtb I don't think. Oh well. All of this will pay off shortly. If you do what you have always done, you will get what you always get.

Watched 2 movies. First Black Dalhia which I was excited to see, which was pretty awful, I had such high expectations too. That was just depressing. Second was BeerFest, which was just a bad idea, I kept waiting for it to get funny and it never did. The supertrooper guys did this? Awful. Blockbuster should give me my money back for that one.

Tomorrow the donut/coffee ride with Dan the man and company. That will be fun. I will be substituting the donut for an apple, okay maybe one donut.

Eat, Drink and Be Merry folks for tomorrow we die. 100% everyday, that's what this is all about right? Never leave it unsaid, always do your best. love your family, your friends and your monkey, just not too close with my monkey.

So if you didn't eat for a little while, what would be the first thing that you ate, when you started eating again?

Watch those head rushes. 2 years ago I blacked out getting off the couch and came to with my wife on the phone with 911. 8 hours later I left the er without being seen yet.

Family doctor said it was low blood pressure, slow heart rate, and a bit of dehydration. Blood work looked fine too. Needless to say I get up a bit slower now.

Eat some bananas and a pb+j. Easy to digest and quick sugar.

most definitely mexican.

i've had the head rush/blackout/fainting problem in the past too. It was always when I'd start a ride too fast (not enough warm-up) and stop early on for a pee break.

as soon as i'd get off the bike i could feel it coming. my field of vision would shrink down to a pin hole. if i didn't sit down i'd end up falling over and waking up a few seconds later...but it felt like hours later.

it was the same problem...low HR and BP. not fun.

good luck on the diet. sounds brutal.

I don't black out when I stand up to fast, but I do get dizzy every day when I finish my morning commute. It lasts about an hour. It does not happen on my ride home. Not sure what that is about.

What would I eat? Well that is an unfair question because I don't think I'd ever be able to stop eating. Probably pasta or pizza. My stomach might not handle anything else after not eating.
