    @balsdorf thanks man - might have to try that. Gonna start with at least 30 mins a day of exercise to get the ball rolling.

    I used to be 270 lbs. 208 was aspirational stuff. So just think of it as a 62 pound head start.

    I didn't poop for almost 5 days while in China (thanks, steamed rice) and almost broke 160lbs.

    I miss all the delicious street food from Shanghai and Wuhan. Would go back just for the hot and dry noodles.

    Yeah I feel like an idiot.

    "I'm fat due to my own choices, and now I'm complaining on the internet".

    "I'm basically a specimen of human resiliency and a beacon of hope for humanity"

    I'll let you guess which is me

    Actually get some proper swim coaching so that 2:30/100 stops looking like a great pace

    Best swim coaching around is in NorCal! I'm prepaid for a few more sessions and should be going back as soon as it starts up again. One of these links will probably tell us when that will be. Or we can just badger @EmilyCocks. ;o)

    Maintain 20 miles per week or more (my base in Iraq has a <1.5 mile perimeter loop. This will get old quickly)

    Get back down under 130lb

    Lift 5x/week

    Finish grad school

    @KenElPescadoPelado we are going to try and get sessions started back up sometime in February or March. My life has been a little nuts since the fire.

    Good info. Napa is a stretch but a bunch of us have been thinking about a mini road trip. My first swim session is tomorrow so I'm looking forward to finally understanding exactly how shit my stroke is.

    - Drop another 20 pounds

    - Get revenge on IM WI 70.3

    @Johns622 Don't Remind me...

    Otherwise, My goals are:

    1) Kick ass consistently enough to finish Ironman Wisconsin (first ever attempt at IM)
    2) find a work life balance throughout 9/9/18 to complete goal #1
    3) Cut out alcohol until 9/9/18 - seems stupid, but that's up for debate still.
    4) weigh in somewhere between 215-220 for my wedding 10/5/18. Which means I have to balance work, wedding planning, and Ironman Training. I'll be lucky to have any hair left by the wedding.
    5) Swim to the coffee boat at the IM World Championships while on my honeymoon!

    1. Hate less people (failing miserably at the moment)
    2. Volunteer more
    3. Worry less
    4. Swear more
    5. Let all but #2 and #4 go to hell by the end of the month

    @et5504 Glad to see someone else in the same boat as me. I'm also racing Wisonsin, and I'm getting married in May.

    Overall Goals:
    1) Get back to 135 race weight by July Half
    2) Manage to not spend all my money on wedding in May
    3) PR at IM Wisconsin
    4) Do a much better job at staying uninjured this year.

    @kjrunnin because it justified a trip to see the IM WC this year! just kidding... obviously it's for less sex and more training time. I have no idea why I'm getting married either.

    @kjrunnin I wanted new kitchen stuff, and figured the best way was to spend tons of money throwing a party and hope people bought it for me rather than buying it myself

    @Evan if you must know, I'm waiting to get released from the hospital when I poop. I've been trying for 2 days. Milk of magnesia, prune juice, Mira lax, coffee, Senna, and 2 suppository down, or I should say up.. next, is the ever loved enema

    Hating people less would be setting the bar too high and setting myself up for certain failure. Simply hating less people should be doable if I focus on say 1 person per month not to focus my hate on.

    Tequila is a natural laxative also. Give a bottle of Cabo Wabo a shot... or 10.
