Mornin' all!

A bit cool today but suns out.

Lou, easy to go from xxl to xxxl, just spend the last dozen years of your job behind a desk.

Russ, what time you headed out?
You got stuff to do till then?

Off to look at a new TV for upstairs and hit Cabela's as they are having a sale..

That's the problem Al. I went from XL to XXL. I went from full time field mechanic to a shop foreman/head mechanic. Behind a desk 50% of the time. Gained 20+ lbs the first year here. Hence hitting the gym 3 days a week. Hated breaking the 300lb mark.

I have been hobby running on and off since 2014. I have completed a half marathon in Jan 2015 which was F'n unbelievable hard as I ran in packed snow for the last 8+ miles. I am struggling with motivation tho during these cold months. I have 58 miles logged since Jan 1st.

Still haven't really shed any pounds and am floating around 230lbs. Would love to get to 199lbs.

Add age and a arthritic foot and it's a losing battle, finally working eating habits down so I'm just starting to lose weight, long hard battle for me, love to eat.
I think quitting smoking was easier.


Anybody got any opinions on TV's?
Looking for a 40-50? screen size for the living room and it's a bit confusing with all the variables in TV's.

Looking for something under 4-5 hundred bucks, in the $300 range if possible.

I want to run a 5k with the fam but never have a free time. I volunteer at many 1/2 marathons and triathlons. My last 1/2 marathon I worked I walked 13 miles just working the event. I hate running though.
