Huh.

I drive this road every weekday: The Deadliest Road In New York Is One You'll Want To Avoid

I've driven that, no problem. Pretty tight, hopefully no one else is texting and driving that road these days. Speed traps as I recall too

 

[Gary A.]

Gary has never driven that road.

My old manager leads USA to first World Baseball Classic! Couldn't be happier for Jim Leyland. My Tiger, Ian Kinsler has big game. GO USA! GO TIGERS! GO BLUE over ducks!

More than 1000 calories means I put on weight or at least do not lose weight.

Frustrating.

And now the festivities begin: eating drinking .....

That is very odd because your baseline calorie usage (Basal Metabolic Rate/BMR) gotta be around 2000 calories per day.

Your BRM = the minimum calories required for basic cellular function. So how many calories required to keep you alive while sleeping. Everytime you move an arm, take a step, you need calories above your BMR to do so.

At 1000 calories a day, you are slowly starving yourself to death. So you need to revisit your intake calculations.

BMR = 293 - (3.8 * age) + (456.4 * height) + (10.12 * weight)
(Where age is in years, height is in meters, and weight is in kilograms. For those imperially-inclined or metrically-challenged amongst us, one pound equals 0.4535924 kilogram, and one inch equals 0.0254 meter.)

1813 Calories is what I need according to you calculation.

88kg is where I still am and go sideways. I want to get to 80kg, 82kg would also be OK. So what do I do?

With 1000 Calories my body should take from the storage, shouldn't it?

Yes, you should be burning fat. I suspect it is mostly water retention. Chart your water/liquid intake. Chart your activity level. Chart how far you are walking everyday. Significantly, upping your exercise level, (i.e. walking), should work. Running and sweating would work even better. Don't rush it. It took you decades to get to your present body state. Don't attempt to get thin overnight or in a week. Patience and attention to everything you eat and a daily exercise routine are important.

While it's easier to lose weight through diet alone than through exercise alone, the combination is what is key. Rather than trying to create the entire 800-calorie deficit through diet, try a combination. Eat 1400 calories and burn 400 calories through exercise. To specifically burn fat, you need to start thinking about heart rate: How to Calculate Heart Rate for Fat Burn

"Fat Burning Zone
Your target heart rate for fat burning is approximately 55 percent to 70 percent of your maximum heart rate. Multiply your MHR by 0.55 to get your lower level threshold, and multiply your MHR by 0.70 to get your upper level threshold. So, if you are 40 years old, your lower level threshold would be 180 x 0.55 = 99 beats per minute, and your upper level threshold would be 180 x 0.70 = 126 beats per minute. This would make your fat burning zone 99 to 126 beats per minute.

Stay in The Zone
Once you have calculated your fat burning zone, be sure to adjust your intensity during exercise to stay within those upper and lower limits. Periodically check on your heart rate using one of the methods listed above. Your percentage of calories burned from fat will decrease if you go over this range."

Buenas Dias Coffee Hosers. Thursday is camera ad day in the LA Times. Most notable Samy's Camera. Today's ad is only a half page, but they have a headline proclaiming "BASEBALL SEASON IS COMING". Under the headline are four lenses, a Canon 70-200, Nikkor 200-500, Sigma 150-600 and Tamron 150-600. Yep, baseball is all about long lenses.

At the Times we had a stockroom full of long lenses, "Baseball Lenses" we called them. I remember one being a little under three feet long and you could literally stick your face into the lens hood. Back then, in the film-only days, zooms were crappy, like the bottom of Coke bottles crappy, so all the lenses were primes. Those Baseball Lenses had a stick shift for quick focus. You always went to Dodger games early, because the food was so good. The team fed you in a bonafide restaurant, with waiters in white dinner jackets/tunics. You'd sit down next to Vin Scully or Sandy Koufax and have a chat with your meal. Then up to the Press Box lugging the Baseball Lens. The Press Box had permanent tripod heads mounted in the window sills. Once setup, you dialed in the Baseball Lens. The stick shift had four positions and moved forward and back, you focus on the pitcher and clicked that focus into the first position of the stick shift, then second base, mid-center field and against the fence center and click them all in. Now you're set, if a ball is swatted to the warning track, you just used the external iron sight, (like the gunsight on a WWII fighter plane), and jammed the shifter into fourth. lol Amazing that anything was ever in focus.

Yes, stay in the zone. Do it daily or every other day. The best way to chart the zone is with an activity tracker, a Fitbit, Garmin, iWatch, et cetera. (I didn't want to go into the expense of hardware, but the newer activity trackers are extremely useful. My Garmin had a chest belt/sensor for heartbeat, my iWatch takes it off the wrist and is surprisingly accurate, most fingertip type sensors are useless.)

Huh.

I drive this road every weekday: The Deadliest Road In New York Is One You'll Want To Avoid

I've driven that, no problem. Pretty tight, hopefully no one else is texting and driving that road these days. Speed traps as I recall too

Ah yes, well one can hope

The road was widened to three lanes in Westchester county to handle volume, although it's still pretty crowded and regularly gets congested at the same places. As a matter of fact, just this morning I avoided it because of the big red line of traffic I saw on Google Maps before I left the house. Three accidents and it was actually closed for a shot time.

Through Putnam county, it's narrow and has nasty curves and it's also quite hilly. Once you pass Poughkeepsie, it's a much easier road to deal with. Still narrow, but the terrain flattens a bit for a while and the road is straighter. And there is a lot less traffic.

I can't recall if it was three lanes in Westchester when I went through. I do recall a lot of traffic cops though. It's been a while and I am scheduled to go back in that area later spring, early summer. I have a couple customers in that region and a few prospects that I need to visit when I go there. That is what I call my east coast run. I sell powder coat equipment and supplies to a few tire retreaders along the coast line. Of course, I wasn't into photography the last time through, so I may have to strategically plan on where I staying this time out. I will probably PM you my routes pins in a couple weeks looking for photo spots.

Hoping my University of Oregon Ducks beat the University of Michigan today..this Sweet 16 2017 game tipped off about three minutes ago...

Games tonight. Hope you lose but I still love ya man

 

[limr30 3]

Ugh. I'd support the Ducks in most games, but my boyfriend's mother is from a long line of Wolverines, so I gotta go with Michigan on this one.
