I think I'm going to use fitday.com to track my food intake. I'll check out Sparkpeople again though. Great suggestions on the tools. Get the basics. Brian, thanks for all the info.

Great suggestions on the tools. Get the basics.

Armstrongs site is pretty good, but I am more familiarcomfortable with the SP site so I stick with it. I have lost 30 lbs since late Oct and have a true since of every gram of food I am putting in my body. I also change my calories to 50% Carbs, 35% Protein and 15% Fats. I have gain muscle and lost body fat along the way. Tools...I have just been buying what I need, when I needed it. Found a few things on eBay and bought some local. I think for the most part you just need a few tools, bottom bracket, good set of allen wrenches, cable cutters, chain tool, chain whip, cassette lock ring tool and multi tool for the bike. I just rebuilt my Trek 7300 with nothing more than what you see above and replaced every component on the bike except the headset. Did that last year with a new fork. I remember thinking I needed the whole kit, but I am not working on bikes all the time, so decided to save some cash and just get what I need at the time.

I've always found using the online diet trackers hard for me to use. Or maybe I'm just lazy. It takes a lot of work to make sure you're eating the exact amounts of certain foods. I may try that Al.

I like the tone of this post. I think just the goal of the century and all that goes into it over the summer will get you well on your way to where you want to be. Allez! You go, boy!
