Is there actually any good info on ST or shall I continue completely ignoring the place?

Lifes too short for the amount of negativity that seems to surround the place. Iāll stick around here, people seem nice.

Just realised that I had four unhealthy snacks yesterday
- Chocolate
- Kettle crisps
- Ice cream
- Rum
Itās literally no wonder that my weight hasnāt gone down much/at all. I really must do better either snack choices.
80.7kg this morning. Should put more effort in to get back under 80kg.

I had one of those days yesterday too.
Was changed ready to sneak out for a run in the morning, than an issue with the phones at work blew up and decided life would be easier if I popped into the office to sort it.
Met son in town when he finished Uni and got (unhealthy) lunch, on way home noticed my new shoes had split down the side so decided I may as well write the day off and take them back after my last call of the afternoon which then descended into a bag of chocolate in the car and various other snacks in the evening.

I thought I was linking something interesting, turns out itās just a place to go for arguments.
Youāre not going to miss anything if you completely ignore the place, funny stuff gets linked in the āST/FB Threadsā thread.

Picked up done good advice off there on wheels, very early di2 installation, when local bike shops had no clue and a few swim tips.
The arguments degrade into Facebook at times do I wouldnāt go on there these days.
The bigger athlete thingā¦ common sense?!
Go to the finish of any mass start endurance eventā¦ with the possible exception of swimming all the medal winners and podium chasers are lean and talented it would seem.
In a personal note my last run , a good one for me, was 5k t mill in 20:12 in early November at 11 stone.
My next run will probably be in March at 82.5 kg.
( 13 stone ) I will be slower in a weird type of experiment.
That said the 17 hour cut off crew in full distance races are some of the ā happiestā triathletes I e ever seen and met, as opposed to some of the highly motivated Uber fast age groupers who win there age groups but are disappointed with there swim, bike power, run resistance fatigue? And life in general it would seem.
I often wonder who has got this right.
Move with what God gave you, train hard, eat rightā¦ ish donāt take drugs and the results are just numbers no one really cares about except you.
Winning is a nice feeling though !

Itās notā¦ he lost his Lance !
My dog snapped it in a fall.
Itās nice standing up there everyone wants to know what bike you ride etc?
It was only a local race 100+ competitors you then go to a national race and get your ass handed to youā¦ again!
A good day though.

98.8kg again, thatās 3 weeks in a row.
I took a lighter training week this week but still thought I might make some progress.
Clearly any easy gains have gone and I need to knuckle down to get it moving again.

Quite entertaining, and I agree that for most overweight athletes portion size/volume is the primary issue. Also, want vs need is an important message.
Like most people sending that message he unnecessarily extrapolates out to all society where things are as different as personal and national finances are. Ignoring that though itās quite funny.
What is he doing though and why?
At 14% BF heās not in the category his message is directed at.
He used to be. He was really big and unfit a few years ago.
Heās not the final pretty much anything really, I just like the way he delivers his various messages.

Nice work 
Another 0.5kg off for me last week. (1.1lb)
I find this a nice sustainable way to lose a few Covid pounds (Iāve put on 27lbs / 12.5kg since March 2020)
Just cut out meat (at home) and evening snacks after supper (we were atrocious for family sized crisp bags 
)

Yeah thatās us. Canāt stop it!
We have moved to just having 50g each from the bag. But itās every might without fail. Often with a tub of hummus.
I was thinking about trying to stop this outside of Fri-Sun. But is 50g that bad? 
Trouble is we eat dinner early as a family. So Iām always going to be hungry come 8pm.
Iāve deffo put on some more belly fat the last month, despite being pretty consistent in training 6-7 hrs a week.

We usually eat our evening meal around 8pm
We went on holiday with my wifeās sister a few years ago, she and her husband get home from work before 4pm and they tend to have their evening meal at about 5pm or maybe even 4.30pm
It was really hard trying to find common ground. They were chewing the furniture well before we even had the first rumblings of hungerš
It the end they got hacked off with us dragging our heels I think, and started cooking their own stuff when they wanted
