Postal Training Center in Norman.

That would be really fun.

My schedule is pretty regular. I'm available before 7am, and after 5:30pm on weekdays. Weekends are pretty much open...as long as I haven't decided to go fishing. It is $10 for a guest pass to my gym, or we can go to yours. As long as they have a rack and weights....I'm there. I just finished up the two "Art and Science" books. Pretty good stuff. Lots of crossover between the two of them. Sorta wish they had just tacked on 4-5 chapters in the first book to cover the athletics...but I suppose they had the idea later. The Taubes book is taking longer. Really slow reading...with lots of looking stuff up every chapter or so. This one is really aimed more at doctors and research scientists. I need to find the layman version "Why we get fat, and what to do about it".

Well, Any time you want to get together and lift, just let me know. I'm most certainly up for it. I have jumped back on the keto truck after being totally lax for weeks. I feel friggin awesome. Turns out I was screwing it up the first time. I thought it was great then... this time it is just amazing. Just goes to show that no matter how much you think you know...there is always more to learn. Bought three books last month to help me understand the science behind what I'm doing. I really recommend them for anyone interested in nutrition science. "Good Calories Bad Calories" Gary Taubes. Great book...very very information dense. The science history is a bit depressing, but interesting. The language is thick, but if you ever read raw studies...its not quite THAT thick. "The Art and Science of Low Carb Living" Steven Phinney and Jeff Volek. These guys have been doing hardcore research on carbohydrate restriction for like 30 years. Very informative book. Much easier read than Taubes'. "The Art and Science of Low Carb Performance" Same as above. Everything you need to know to be a serious athlete on a VLC diet. This one dispels lots of broscience and myth regarding endurance athletics and strength training. Steven Phinney is actually like my new hero. Man is badass. He has some great videos on youtube explaining how VLC diets work.

Bookman84, Yeah...it helps maintain/increase lean body mass. I've found lately that the scale has stopped moving...but my new belt is running out of holes.

Ketoacidosis involves blood ketone levels impossible to reach through dietary ketosis. You would be hard pressed to manage 6-7 mg/dl through a no carb high fat diet. That said, I'm not sure how this diet would affect a type 1. Insulin is really complicated. Much more so than people ever thought possible. http://diabetestypettlchf.blogg.se/ She seems to be doing well on it. Dr Stephen Phinney is pretty much the authority on the subject. You could fire him an email. www.artandscienceoflowcarb.com

We should pick a day to get together and lift. I think that would be lots of fun. Nothing really serious, just a great opportunity to learn new stuff, check your form..etc.

Of course!

Heather. You have two SCA groups that do fighting nearby. http://namron.ansteorra.org/ and http://wiesenfeuer.ansteorra.org/ Depending on what they want, I'd be willing to play as well.

Fen- Since I'm pretty sure it is just going to be me you and Krys tonight...and we can't be out very late since I have to get ass early to take Krys to the airport. Why don't we just do somwhere you can get your vegetarian thing on. I'm sure I can be a food nazi just about anywhere.

I wish there was a keto-friendly restaurant app or something. Taj doesn't even have salad though. But man do I love their eggplant. We can pretty much do any non-buffet place. Cheesecake Factory? Ihop? Pretty much anywhere I can get like steamed veggies and butter...or salad. Fenshire, any suggestions?

Terrible joke. Nobody would ever come for burpees.

We could do something that is not dinner. Burpees in the park! lol

Tomorrow is good for us, but I don't think we can do Taj. Could eat then just come for the meetup I guess.

Welcome back Damaramu! The next scheduled meeting is in like two weeks. I think we have been doing the second Tuesday or Wednesday. No idea where we are planning to go this time. Extra points if you arrive astride Roshi.

So...rock climbing. When do we want to do this?

We finally got more people! WOOT!

Tonight is the night... ...I will have all the songs from this movie stuck in my head tonight.

We can schedule this as far out as necessary to maximize attendance. Post your target dates and we will figure something out. Transportation can probably be arranged as well...no excuses!

You guys interested in setting up a meeting outside of the regular dinner thing? I'm really wanting to go check out Rocktown. Would be really cool if we could make a NF thing out of it. We can schedule waaay in advance to accommodate as many people as possible.

DO we need to call and warn them? Or do we just fall upon them like wolves?

Welcome Andrew! Gopuram...one of my weaknesses. Krys and I will be there!

Might have picked us up another member tonight at the bookstore!

Where we going next week? And did we decide on a new time/day?

Hey...actually. You guys up for maybe moving the date ahead a day? Golden Phoenix on Chinese New Year should be buckets of awesome.
