You at sub-100? Too scrawny.

The age-old dilemma.

In my somewhat limited experience, the last weke of march is a good time to get rained/snowed on in teh creke. We got snowed on this year in the first week of April. DISLIKE! O.K., I'll re-phrase it this way: where would you go in the last week of March, if you had a week to go anywhere? So far for that time frame I've done --Smith Rock (good climbing conditions, but I don't want to go back there) --Hueco (borderline too hot, but pretty good) --RRG (great, assuming it doesn't rain or snow). But this is the backup destination. Red Rocks is usually pretty gud then. except for the whole getting rained/snowed on thing. That's more early march I feel.
I've been rained/snowed on plenty in late march in both RR and Moab.

I think the 10-20min runs I do at work during lunch is what's helping me not put weight back on. That, and not eating pasta multiple times a week.
Biner, you should really try to keep track of your calories for a few weeks at least. It really helps give you an idea worthwhile and worthless foods as well as portion control (ie - one bowl of pasta with a salad instead of two two bowls of pasta).

yeah, I haven't been sub-100 since I was like 15 or 16. I can get down to 112-113 with just regular fitness/ not eating junkfood effort, and down to 106-108 with just slightly more, but I've never tried to go full-on scrawny. And I think some of this weight loss is certainly muscle. I have barely climbed this summer.

When I started this my goal was 115, but then I realized that was back in high school and I probably wasn't done growing yet. I've got a few inches on dribble, don't i?

It really helps give you an idea worthwhile and worthless foods as well as portion control (ie - one bowl of pasta with a salad instead of two two bowls of pasta). I have one of those ducking iphone apps, but it's not easy to add home made meals, its like its designed for people who only get boxed food or eat out at chain restaurants. That and I only use it for three days before I get bored.
If it was a recipe I'd make fairly often I'd create it, or sometimes just put the sum of it's products in (ie - and omlete might be entered as 3 eggs, a serving of cheese, and onion and some mushrooms). Otherwise I would just pick something comercially made that's similar to what I'm eating just to get something representative in there.
I only bring the whole calorie counting thing up because while I feel I haven't been eating well since I stopped, I think I'm still a lot better than I used to be because I was so aware of the things I was eating for all those months last year.

Ugh, how hard can it be to find online the climbing shoes you like in the size you want? Plenty hard, apparently!
Success, finally, after 2 days of looking! And I found them not on any of the usual sites (backcountry, mountain gear, etc. etc. or even zappos), but at some weird places I have never used before. But man, oh man, paying full price for a pair of shoes SUCKS!

I read it as "I'm going to go make myself into an egg mcmuffin".

O.K., I'll re-phrase it this way: where would you go in the last week of March, if you had a week to go anywhere? So far for that time frame I've done --Smith Rock (good climbing conditions, but I don't want to go back there) --Hueco (borderline too hot, but pretty good) --RRG (great, assuming it doesn't rain or snow). But this is the backup destination. Red Rocks is usually pretty gud then. except for the whole getting rained/snowed on thing. That's more early march I feel. I've been rained/snowed on plenty in late march in both RR and Moab. Gnuzflash Gn00bs, March is spring time. You can get rained on in Josh in March. That doesn't give you an excuse to rain on everyone's enthusiasm right now.
He doesn't need and excuse. He has a jorb.

Yes, but if you're not too picky then usually the itty-bitty shoes are the ones left on sale.
How small are your feel anyway?

What shoes? Usually when you can't find them at the big boys it means they've been discontinued.
