The cost to us of others poor lifestyle decisions
Started a thread on a forum about this and didn't find anything of serious interest, but I was a bit put off by a number of negative comments about over weight people, basically saying its their fault.  I don't see it that way, switch on your TV and there's constant adverts for junk food, whether it be a fast food chain, pizza, soft drink or confectionary.   How can you blame people for poor decisions when they are bombarded with how much fun their life is, if they make these poor decisions.  How often do you see an advert for apples?
Nutrition
Man, every time I read one of Antashia's posts, I rethink my diet and look for ways to improve it - http://primalmeded.com/2011/06/15/natural-my-a/   In simple terms, the further it is away from the farm the worse it is for us.  I'm thinking about giving up margarine, replacing it with butter.  Who can guide me on this?   KFC – apparently it stands for Kid Fattening Centre  LOL
Outdoor Cycling
Road Racing NSW Club Team Time Trial (TTT) Championships DHBC Team Michael Clement (captain) Mark Masterson Mark Lacey Craig Weller Location Golburn NSW, lets call it cold-burn. Conditions were cold and windy, on a dead semi hilly road. Seeded 6th by NSW Cycling, we were giving a 12.20pm start (teams 2 minutes apart), pefect for a warm start - NOT. When we had arrived at 9.45am there was no wind, but by midday the wind was pretty strong and cold. The decision was made as to what to wear and I rugged up, only to change my mind 10 minutes later and take one item off. 0-10k We were working well together making good progress when at 8k Mark M declared that that he couldn't go on, we asked him to sit on the back but he said it was quits and pulled off, leaving 3 of us 10 -22.5k (turnaround) About 15k, Craig started to have problems, we told him to stay on the back while Mark L and I shared the work. We caught the team in front of us, but they got a flat just as we approached them. I don't understand why they stopped, there were 4 of them and you only need 3 to finish. 22.5k - 41.5k Mark L and I took up roles, so to focus on Craig's pace. Mark L kept a close eye on Craig, while I punched a hole thru the wind. For the return journey I did all the work on the front apart from 3 turns of about 1k or so by Mark L to give me a short rest. Mark L had to keep yelling at me to slow down, he was doing an excellent job of protecting Craig. At 41k I red lined and Mark L took the 3rd short turn, I recovered straight away and went back to the front. 41.5k - 45k Craig was seriously wasted, I had gone too quick on the flat section (say 38k - 41.5k) and the bridge over the freeway became a hill for him, we were so close but he was on death row. All I could do was sit in front, while Mark L and I provided as much wind protection as possible. We were close to getting the next team in front of us, it was like a carrot on a stick, but I couldn't do anything about it. So we had done one team in front of us and nearly a second. No teams overtook us, but it appeared to me that the team behind us had gained ground, so what was our result; 1h12m to place ourselves 4th. One place outside a NSW medal   Our Woman's elite team took out 3rd place, great going girls!!!!   http://i135.photobucket.com/albums/q136/iniquitythroughsin/wmneltepodium.jpg   Track Racing Race All Winter (RAW) has started.  This is racing on Sydney's indoor velodrome on Friday nights.  I've missed last weeks racing and its about 50/50 for getting there this Friday night.   Information about the series is here => http://www.rawtrack.com.au/ and here => http://www.dhbc.org.au/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=2456   And this is what I looked like in 2007 http://i135.photobucket.com/albums/q136/iniquitythroughsin/boysatthetrack.jpg should I grow my hair again?
