How to know I am serious about doing IMAZ
How do you know I am serious about doing IMAZ next year. Well I promised myself that I would start the Jan OS at the weight I race at all this year ( and had a pretty good year). Then I would try to lose the weight of my bike between Jan and race day, I will weight my bike with all my race stuff on it when I start the OS and then try to lose that amount.
Well how do you know I am serious, I will give 2 examples from today. My daughter and her friends where making Hot Dogs and I said no I am all set 
then I had a big bottle of Homemade beer a friend had given me and all day I kept looking at it saying hmmm maybe I will have a glass or two tonight, I then promptly poored it downed the sink so it will not be calling to me tonight. 
So for me to say no to Hot Dogs and Beer you know that I am serious.

Seriously impressive!
Practically fell off my chair reading that!
Impressive.
They played a song at the start of IMAZ this year (I was volunteering) and I am using it now as an anchor and it may pertain to this. The song goes like this . . ."It's a long way to the top, if you wanna rock-n-roll."
AC/DC.
Rock on, brotha. See ya in the OS and IMAZ '11!
@John that is my theme song for several years now.
I know its a long way, I don't expect perfection just consistency.
Carrie said it- recovery and consumption. OS is a great time to get a jump on weight loss or at least begin the measurement, believing that what gets measured gets managed.
And you're right. It's not about perfection, it's about improvement.
Good luck!
(But down the drain? Harsh.)
But do commend the commitment....I just hope the mental state doesn't go too much further or could end up like this....
In a previous life - no beer would ever have gone down the drain ... unless it had been in my stomach first!
Thats the problem, the beer was very well loved. But you know the saying if you love something set it free if it comes back well...
He's not a WSM for nothing. I can't believe you poured out the beer. That's abuse.
I knew Tucker was going to have harsh words about the beer disposal.
What will power!!! But isn't pouring beer down a drain a felony or something? If not there aught to be a law!
Scott you can give it to me at IMAZ, I will be waiting for you at the finish line
Steve, next time this comes up please know that, for a fellow teammate, I'm willing to provide a happy, and loving home for beer.
Is that like the Island for misfit toys, ala Rudolph?
I suggest this home should be in either St. Louis or Milwaukee or Golden, CO, otherwise known as the homes of Bud, Miller and Coors.
St. Louis or Milwaukee and Golden, CO (the American homes, as I believe they're all owned by multinational conglomerates) are ALREADY the home for misfit beers - I call them weak domestics!
I'm a microbrew guy, and while some of those towns might have some good ones, their larger mass-produced brethren have brought their niche-ness down a few levels.
@Tucker, anything and everything deep-fried that TX has to offer, I was going to get to Officer Ford for his IMAZ training. Just to "help" him out with his nutrition.
