Body Mass Index

Post by air canada »

Hey, I just found out that I am overweight! I need to loose 15lbs to get back within a 'normal' weight catagory. I'm going to die decades early for sure.

I know that I'd climb so much better if I lost that weight, too!

Aaaaaaahhhhhh!

To be just 15 lbs over. Those were the days. :oops:

Wait until you're fighting middle age.

I'm convinced that the gravitational force acting upon one's body increases exponentially with one's age. As evidence to this theory, I present the following observations:

1. It gets harder and harder to get out of bed in the morning, easier to fall into it much earlier in the evening, and more difficult to keep the eyes open no matter what's on the tube.
2. The body begins to sag no matter what weight training program you are doing.
3. I certainly can't get up the routes I use to be able to do in days gone by.
4. These young whipper snappers are sending things I can't even begin to start.

and last but not least,

5. Gravity ultimately wins and stops having it's effect on you once it has sucked you six feet under. :twisted:

Keep fighting it, don't sucome to the forces of gravity. F i g h t ! F i g h t! F i g h t !

I just wonder if I should give up and go peacefully or go down fighting it? So far the peacefull option is winning.

Oh, wah, wah, wah! You young little whiney butts don't know a thing about fighting middle age yet! Middle age is so far behind me, I forgot what it felt like. Don't just fight it, kick its ass! :twisted:

Now, go climb a mountain! :D

Dipsi, you rock! But check out Air Canada's rank, he doesn't necessarily have a "little" whiney butt. Not that I'm one to talk mind you. My bootie has its own hemisphere.

It's not a size thing, honey, in Dipsi vernacular anyone under 50 is "little" to me. :lol:

Actually, I need to drop about 10 pounds off my fat ass too!

Man, the guy I work with (he's like 42) always says stuff like this too. But then I go to duathlons and see tons of people in their mid 40s-50s who are ripped as shit and getting up at 6am to race. I think it's just easy to sell out to the "I'm so old" game as an excuse to take it easy. Also, look at some of these older hard climbers. They don't have an ounce of fat on them and they can crank hard.
