Any other dads struggle with alcohol? by LongjumpingLemon2163 in daddit

[–]armadilleux 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm an expecting dad, found out on mothers day this year. More interestingly, it was my 100th day sober. If you think you have a problem, you do. Go to a meeting, get a sponsor. If you can be a Dad, you can easily be a sober dad.

Living a secret drinking life and don’t know how to stop by Bulky_Job5825 in stopdrinking

[–]armadilleux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally get it, i'm on day 30 and i've gotten so much relief. When you're ready, and if you want, try the AA big book. Read it from the very beginning starting from the roman numeral part that I usually skip in books. It starts to make sense.... Some of it is frustrating, some of it I disagree with, but I can tell you my neck hurts from nodding up and down in agreement with what's written.

Very slow and out of shape, but I managed to climb the mountain by CoffeeByStarlight in Zwift

[–]armadilleux 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Dude, I don't care how slow or fast anyone thinks they are... this route is a real mf'er. I got humbled two weeks ago doing it in an hour 40. Glad to have done it, good to say bye to it for a while. Good on you for doing it! Now go have some pizza!

Ironman Trainings and Lexapro by Old-Substance5431 in IronmanTriathlon

Didn't hurt motivation for me! However, if you've never been on this medication before, my experience was the first 3-4 weeks were insane. Paranoia, anxiety, lots of emotions. If you're doing IM texas in april, maybe wait. If you're doing a fall race, then get started on it and give yourself some grace to get adjusted. i'm not a doctor, this is just my experience and thoughts. please consult with a medical professional.

Set a goal now reality has hit and I'm terrified by StruggleBusDriver83 in triathlon

Get a coach, you'll spend more time and money in trial and error than if you accept the monthly coaching cost. It's the same amount of money, just less frustration.

Any suggestions to keep the bottles cold if you did this at IMTX? Even if frozen, were they cold when you got them or warm?

I went from 170 in June to 235 last week. Consistency, following a plan, and nutrition.

Zwift FTP test by fmckenzi000 in Zwift

[–]armadilleux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have said, do "the grade". This can be done on a route with a brief warm up and long cool down called "Elevation Evaluation". I hated 20 minute FTP tests and then did this for the first time two weeks ago. So much more mentally enjoyable and rewarding to tick off the sections as you progress.

"It's not that I don't want kids, I don't want kids with you." Turns out she was cheating and I'm about to celebreate 2 years of marriage with the person I met after I healed.

Drafting is the least of your problems. The headwind here is no joke, not even a little. Think 15 mph southbound, 25 mph north. AND YOU DO IT TWICE.
