Sweat Rate

No comments

I was finally able to find an article that clearly explained how to calculate sweat rate….

  1. Your weight prior to the exercise = A lbs.
  2. Keep track of the amounts of fluids you consumed during exercise = B oz. consumed.
  3. Weigh yourself upon completion of the exercise = C lbs.
  4. Determine weight lost during exercise = A – C lbs. x 16 = D oz. lost:
  5. Account for fluids consumed to determine your total sweat loss: D oz. of fluids lost + B oz. fluids consumed = E oz. of total sweat loss.
  6. Divide E (ounces of total sweat loss) by minutes of exercise for sweat rate per minute of exercise = F oz./minute of sweat loss

I just finished calculating the numbers and this is how it turned out.

1. 216 pounds
2. 80 oz
3. 211 pounds
4. 80 oz lost
5. 80 + 80 = 160 oz of total sweat lost
6. 160 oz / 346 = .46 oz/minute = 28 ounces for 1 hour.

These are the numbers from my 4-hour ride and 2-hour run this past weekend.  Granted that it was kinda hot but 28 ounces for 1 hour is a lot for me.  Now you probably think that all one needs to do is drink 28 ounces every hour and that person will be fine.  If it were only that easy.  A person phsyically can’ do that because each person has a limit on how much fluids their body can take.  I might have to shoot for 20 ounces an hour and see how that goes.

Thumbs

So I had another brain fart…I don’t remember what Marilyn and I were talking about…I think it was about dogs driving (don’t ask lol).

Marc: The only difference between us and dogs driving are our “disposable” thumbs. 

Marilyn: “Dying of laughter for about 15 minutes”

Marc: ”What?!?!?!” 

Marilyn: ”Do you mean that the only difference between us and dogs is that we can throw away our thumbs?”

Marc: “No!  I thought it was deposable at first but that didn’t make any sense…so I used disposable.  Fine, what’s the right word”

Marilyn: “I don’t know but I know it’s not disposable”

So we go home and try to look for the word…it’s OPPOSABLE!!!  I was close :)

Amen!!!

So Marilyn left Torrance Bakery a message yesterday requesting an appointment…after the message (I guess I distracted her or something) but she said “Amen…Bye”  LOL…HILARIOUS!!!

Ghengis Khan

No comments

So Warren forwarded me this article (link here) about the 5 Pimpingest Historical Figures.  You can read the article at your own leisure but in summary, #5 was Ghengis Khan, #4 was Napoleon Bonaparte, #3 was Thomas Jefferson, #2 was King Charles II and #1 was Ramses II.

In the article, they give a reason as to why each one of these historical people placed.  For Ghengis Khan, this was the reason:

Reports show that he has fathered the generation that went on to produce .5 percent of the world’s population. That’s 16 million people. That means for every two people he killed, he impregnated one.

So Warren and I were saying that Ghengis Khan got jacked…HE should have been #1.  Dude, he fathered 16 million people.  And then I said, “No wonder they [Asians] all look the same…they have the same Dad!”

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Beef???

So I totally forgot to write about something funny that happened over the weekend.  We were getting food fromTaco Bell and I was ordering through the drive-thru window.  Now as some of you may know, I sometimes have a hard time hearing.  So I heard the girl ask me what kind of meat do I want for the taco.  I said “Beef.”  The girl asks me again what kind of meat I want…and again I said “Beef.”  The girl friggin asks me a third time and this time I’m annoyed.  I said “BEEF!”  At this point, Marilyn is DYING of laughter. 

So I guess what ha happened was…the girl was asking me what kind of DRINK I wanted…and poor girl kept hearing “Beef” from me.  So the girl gives up and tells me the total and as Marilyn and I both drive up to the window laughing…the girl asks me one more time what kind of drink I wanted.  Ooops.

So Marc and I are watching ESPN this morning and they are showing highlights of a football game.

Marilyn “What team is that?”

Marc “Ball State vs. Western Michigan”

Marilyn “Ball State? What’s Ball State?”

Marc “Your face is Ball State”

Marilyn and Marc laughing.

Ok, so maybe he knows how to play the “your face” game. lol.

Your face

No comments

Somewhere along the years my friends and I picked up this running phrase taken from back in the day, “your face is (fill in the blank)”. It’s a childish and equally hilarious comeback to any mock insults amongst friends.

Marilyn “Your lame”

Tricia “Your FACE is lame”

Silly, I know; but it defnitely brings forth tons of laughter.  So the other day, Marc and I were talking to each other on the phone while driving home from work. We were discussing something

Marilyn “Hey, I’m almost home”

Marc “Your face is an idiot”

Marilyn (laughing) “What?! Did you just call me an idiot for fun?”

Marc and Marilyn (laughing hysterically)

Clearly, Marc doesn’t understand the “Your face” game, or he’s deaf.
