Appreciate it my friend! I love the Fredericksburg area! I definitely would like to do a ride up there sometime. And I've been wanting to get up to Enchanted Rock and do a hike as well! Looks like you're staying pretty active. I have no doubt you'll reach your goal! I'm hoping to get up that way this fall. If so, a ride is definitely in order!

Well thank you I appreciate the kind words! Back when I was training and racing in Ironman triathlons in the 2000 teens. My race weight was right at 180. That's when I felt my best! I don't feel terrible now, but I know I can do better.

Thanks Mike! Yeah I agree. Afterwards I was thinking I should have jumped straight to 300 lbs. Next time I will!

Thanks Adam I appreciate it! I'm gonna have to watch some of your videos. I may be an "older" dog, but I'm always willing to learn new tricks!

Keep your eye on the prize my brother! It's stories like yours that inspire me! Nutrition and meal planning is the majority of the battle. Once that is dialed in, you're moving in the right direction! Keep me up to speed on your progress. We only get one try at this life! We have to give it our best shot!! Let's go!!

You just have to start small and work your way up Tony. Nothing crazy! You have to awaken that athlete that's asleep in you right now! It's gonna be an uphill battle for me for sure, but I'm determined to achieve my goal! I will make it happen!

It's gonna be an uphill battle brother, but I'm already making some progress! Just have to stay focused and disciplined! You guys motivate me! Be safe out there on your ride and hopefully we can get together soon and put in some miles together!

Thanks Gabe!! I really appreciate all your support!! I want to make quality videos that people will enjoy and hopefully over time my film making ability will continue to improve!

Thank you my friend! I really appreciate the kind words! Sometimes I still feel a little awkward talking to the camera especially when there are people around. I'm getting better at it though. As long as I'm out doing something, I'll keep making videos!

Thanks brother!! Sorry I can't be there to ride with you guys! Next year I'll do both the LiveStrong and CTC! Y'all have fun and let me know how it goes!

Thank you brother! I'll be there next year!

Thank you I appreciate it! It took me almost 4 years to get to 500. It may take a while to get to 1000. Lol! I have no plans on stopping though! I'm having too much fun with it!

Thanks!! I try my best to choose the right music for each video I put together. Yes the bacon wraps turned out pretty good.

It's hot and humid here, but the humidity in Houston is next level!

She definitely needs more practice with the gears. That'll come with more time in the saddle. Plus I need to adjust the seat. She's sitting a little low and her pedaling wasn't as efficient as it could be.

Thank you Fred! I appreciate my friend! It's a fun ride! I think you and your son are gonna enjoy it. It has a good vibe and the people are awesome! This year unfortunately I won't be there. You guys can carry the torch for me this year and I'll be back in 2025! Have fun!

Thank you my friend! Hopefully y'all will get out on the bikes and rack up some miles! I guess you're gonna have to lace up those running shoes!🏃 Myself, Lex and her twin sis Josie are signed up for the SA Rock and Roll half marathon in December. So we'll be lacing up our running shoes soon as well.

Kenny that's so Awesome you and Lexi started your biking adventure!!!! She looks like she is going to be a great cyclist like Mark!!!!

She's been working all summer and putting money aside to buy the bike. It's not a high end bike, but it's a good starter ride for her. She's pretty excited about getting out and riding, but it'll be a while before she can come close to Mark!!

Thanks! It's a great ride. Fun and challenging! You should definitely do it! Hope to see you out there next year.

Thanks brother!! I haven't been doing much since the Tour de Boerne except going to the gym consistently. It's time for me to refocus and get after it again!!

I knew when I started putting videos up on RUclips not everyone was gonna like the content I'm posting, but I'm okay with that. Thanks for letting me know.

I get it. Kinda like fingernails down a chalkboard. I have other mixing bowls I just happen to use that one that day. Glad you liked it though! I appreciate you stopping by my channel.

Hmm.. I'm not sure. I'm assuming you can. I guess it depends on the temperature your toaster oven will heat up to. If it can't reach 450 degrees, you can probably still use it at a lower temp but cook it for a longer period of time and just eyeball it for doneness. I say give it a shot and see what happens.

Thanks brother! Everything is good! I had all this extra drone footage from that ride, so I figured I might as well use it and make a video! Lol! Congrats on hitting 5k subs!! That's friggin' awesome! You'll be at 10k by the end of the year!

@@fitnessandthings hell ya man came out nice. That hover air x1 is sick!

Thank you my brother! I always appreciate your support!

Thank you my friend! My brother-in-law lives in Austin. I've done a few rides there too. I did the LiveStrong Challenge a couple of years ago. The 60 miler. Two of the Cap-Tex triathlons and the Austin 70.3 half Ironman when it used to be there. When it comes to climbing hills, I think I may have serpentined up a couple of hills, but mainly I just grind straight up!

Thank you my friend! I'm gonna keep doing it until my body gives out! We only get one chance at this life! You have to give it your best shot!!

Thanks I appreciate it!! Sometimes you just have to wing it!

Awesome! I hope you like it!

Yeah I'm not a fan of cottage cheese! I'm more in a ketovore zone myself now as well. Hope you enjoy it!

Yes I've definitely felt the effects of eating an antiinflammatory diet for sure! I was hoping the weight loss would be more significant especially the first month or so like I've seen with other people. I do go to the gym 4 days a week and lift and I did feel like I had some slight power gains when lifting. Right now I'm doing more of a ketovore diet where I allow a minimal amount of carbs, but still avoiding sugar at all costs! I know in the long game it's the best thing for me and I'll definitely keep grinding on!!!

Thank you my friend I appreciate it! No not always. I started running in 2009 to lose weight and get in shape. I figured running was the best way to accomplish that goal. From there I moved into cycling and triathlons. But all of 2022 and most of 2023 I was dealing with a stubborn case of plantar fasciitis. I finally worked through it and now I'm getting back into it. I think you'll like the flatbread bacon wraps! They're pretty good! Enjoy!

450 man at 7:00 on the video

It's 450 degrees. I mention it around 7:10 or so in the video. It's pretty good! I hope you enjoy it!

Thanks I appreciate it! I'm familiar with Dr. Ken Berry but not the others. I'll look them up. Right now I'm in more of a ketovore zone.

@@fitnessandthings same 😅 I just can't dig up the motivation I had last year.

@@fitnessandthings homesteadhow has actually been working on a movie documentary! Ummm... oh, healing humanity is what it's called.

You're not alone. It happens to everyone including me! Just have to keep moving forward!

@@vacationgal05 I'll keep an eye for it!

I've definitely felt the effects of eating an anti-inflammatory diet. I don't take measurements, but my clothes fit about the same as they did before. I may be eating to much and the calories I'm taking in are higher than they should be. I'm gonna start training for a half marathon here pretty soon with my daughters and I believe those calories will benefit me on the training runs.

Yes, it is a ceramic 12 inch skillet/frying pan and the brand is Blue Diamond. I bought it about a year or so ago from Walmart. I'm pretty pleased with it. It's also dishwasher safe and can be used in the oven up to 600 degrees.

Thanks for watching my video I appreciate it. Normally when I buy eggs I will get the brown one's, but on that particular occasion when I went to the store they were out so I bought what was available. But when it comes down to it the color of the eggshell doesn't make any difference in the nutritional value of the egg. Different breeds of chickens produce different colored eggs. I've had chickens in the past and they produced a variety of colors. The salt I was using was indeed sea salt from Costco. I just pour the salt into the smaller salt shaker. I hope this cleared up any confusion. Once again I appreciate you taking the time to watch my video.

As someone who raises chickens, there really no difference in taste between white, brown, blue, yellow, speckled, and etc eggs. The real difference in taste comes from what the hen has been eating.

Sea salt bad .. pink salt or Celtic salt the best

@@johnsmith-gk4td In the UK most of our eggs are brown. it's just the egg colour our most popular chickens lay.

There is no difference in quality due to the color of the shells.

Thank you brother! I appreciate it! I'm glad everyone who came up from the RGV enjoyed the ride! Hope to see you out there next year! My plan this year is to do Cyclefest out in Fort Davis in West Texas. Unfortunately it's on the same weekend in September as Conquer the Coast. Now I haven't fully committed to it yet because I haven't been able to get a place to stay yet. Waiting to hear back from a couple of places on availability for that weekend. If I can't get a place to stay, then I'll probably do CTC again.

Glad to hear you're back at it after a set back! I know how frustrating that can be wanting to get back to doing something you like and circumstances not allowing it. Glad you enjoyed the video! If you see me out and about or at an event. Come over and say hi!

Thank you my friend! It's a fun ride! Really scenic and challenging too! Hopefully I'll see you out there next year!! I'll let Richard know about the almonds.

Thank you my friend I appreciate it! Yes I remember! That's when my legs were still pretty fresh! I hope your ride went well!

Thanks brother! It was an awesome ride! I was a little under prepared for it, but I managed my energy output and intake and it all worked out!

I like it! Canadian bacon would be great! I'm just back to running after an almost 2 year lay off from a stubborn case of plantar fasciitis. Congrats on getting back to running!

It's pretty tasty!

Thanks brother!! Appreciate you and Mark for coming down and doing the ride with me! I had a blast!! Next year we'll do it again!!

It's 450 degrees. Around 7:10 or so in the video I mention I'm preheating the oven at 450. I didn't think about it at the time I was editing the video, but I should've put it in text as well and not just say it. Hope you enjoy the flatbread!

@@fitnessandthings thank you 😊 I must have missed it!

@@fitnessandthings it's so interesting 🤔 I've watched quite a few cottage cheese flat bread recipes lately and they all seem to vary in temperature and how long to bake, anywhere from 12 minutes to 35-45 minutes and 250-450 degrees!

That is interesting. I haven't heard of using cottage cheese in the recipe. I'll have to try that. The first time I made it I baked it for 20 minutes and it burned some. So when I made it for the video I adjusted the time to 18 minutes. Which turned out better.

@@fitnessandthings There are many, you should check them out. Most of them are pretty simple and quick ☺️ going to try one of those and yours then compare.

Yes Sir! Appreciate you my friend!

That's what I do most of the time is make my meals for the week, but I haven't tried it yet with the flatbread honestly. I mean, I really don't see why it wouldn't work like any other type of food. Can't hurt to try.

@@fitnessandthings absolutely! Will give it a try this coming week.

I make four or five of these at a time, I stick them in a large zip lock bag with parchment paper in between them. Then I stick them in the fridge,I know for sure they will last at least three days. I eat them all by then.
