ranger's " 'round 160 " is 170.

Starting next Monday, I'll take a digipic of my Tanita scale each morning when I get up.

The pic will include both my weight and my % body fat.

I'll do all my trials on IND_V within two hours of this weigh-in and enter the results in the C2 50s lightweight rankings.

I will try to race all of the events, both distance and sprint, to update my signature pbs.

I have been asking for weeks what is your weight pre workout, you have always evaded the question, you were obviously well overweight at the time, despite your hours of cardio work.
What is you first trial next week?
I await with interest your results!

How fat you are depends on what you eat.

Calories in, calories out.

I didn't start watching my eating until a week or so ago.

The cardio work is invaluable, no matter what you eat, because you can draw on it when you want to lose weight, as I do now.

For cross-training, _after_ I row, I can now do three hours on my bike, 20 MPH and above, every day, with no problem at all, little effort, and no after-effect.

Olympic-level cross-training!

If I watch what I eat, I lose a pound of fat a day.

A marathon a day,
Burns a pound away!

I'll start officially weighing in for workouts next week.

I should be 160 lbs. by then.

166 lbs. this morning.

That means that I should make weight tomorrow.

My 1 hour erg this morning makes way for about 200g.....



That will do nicely.

Yes, Roy has hardly ever been at weight for any sort of extended stretch.

Not so with me.

And not so this year.

I will do all of my sharpening sessions this year at weight.

I will also do an entire set of trials over the next two months at weight and enter the results, IND_V, in the lightweight rankings.

I have 144 lbs. of non-fat body mass.

So yes indeed, at 10% body fat, not to mention 8% body fat, the normal body composition of an elite young rower, I am a natural lightweight.

At 10% body fat, I am 160 lbs.

At 8% body fat, I am 156.5 lbs.

I weighed 155 lbs. as a freshman and sophomore in college.

I burned about 6000 calories this morning in my erging and biking.

Breakfast was three soft boiled eggs, four pieces of dry toast (yummy, though, homemade), and coffee.

It is easy to do this sort of thing for a couple of weeks.

I lose a pound a day.

Then my weight is set, ready to race.

It is especially easy this year because no one is here but me--no children, no wife.

My wife gets back in town next week.

She is down in Illinois helping her 80-year-old father through a hip-replacemen operation.

All of my three children have now graduated from college (Carleton, Denison, Michigan) and are off working, here and there, around the country.

My wife and I are now empty-nesters.

But we're not at all done with our parental duties.

The phone rings off the hook around here, children calling all the time to ask this or that, request this or that, tell us stories of this or that, etc.

There were about 50 people at the gym this morning but as far as I could tell not one of them was Chinese.

China has a population of 1.3 billion so 1 in 5 humans are Chinese.

So what is it with Chinese people and erging?

If I watch what I eat, I lose a pound of fat a day.

So, you believe it is physiologically possible to loose a pound of fat a day (7lbs of fat a week)? If so, you believe it is physiologically possible to reduce your %body fat by 4% in 1 week.

For a short period, sure.

In April, May, and June of 2002, I lost 30 lbs. in a similar way.

That was a much more extended period, a much greater weight loss, and not as much of a loss per day, but there it is.

I just burn 6000 calories a day and watch what I eat and off comes the weight.

The catch in losing weight this way is the ability to do a high caloric burn over hugely long periods (5 hours, etc.) with no tiredness or after-effects.

For whatever reason (experience, habits, genetics, damn peculiar physiology, etc.), I can do it easily.

I was a marathon runner for a quarter of a century.

If you burn 6000 calories a day, you can still eat 2500 calories and lose a pound of fat.

2500 calories is a substantial amount of eating, if you eat well--vegetables, grains, fruits, legumes, etc., and avoid meat, dairy, fats, and processed sugars of all sorts.

Sure, you are pretty hungry when you are doing this, but in my case, it is only for a short time, to lose a few pounds.
