What kind of bee's did you get?0
-
Are the bees to which you're referring like buzz buzz bees, or is this a gardening term I just don't know?0
-
I am lost too about the bees.

High 60s today, snow tomorrow. That is northern Utah in the spring. We do have snow in the forecast tomorrow.0 -

Italian bees, the kind that buzz. I got two 2.5 lb packages (about 7,500 bees each) with a queen in each package. I've been keeping bees for several years or trying anyways.0 -
Had a good run today and no knee pain so was grateful for that!0

Yes, purchasing bees (on purpose) to fly around is strange to me as well. Good luck with your garden and the gout pains.0

Bees are not wasps. A lot of folks mix those up. Bees make honey! They are also great for pollinating my fruit trees (and the neighbors for about a 2-mile radius)! An average hive has about 60,000 bees in it. I've had up to 5-hives in my backyard or about 300,000 bees. They are not the agressive kind or I wouldn't have them. 0 -
I love bee's. My granny and gramps have a colony. I enjoy the fruits of their labor!0

Oh, so you're a beekeeper! That's cool. Were you affected at all by that honeybee shortage last year? How much honey do you harvest every year?0

I didn't buy any last year so not effected. I can get about 90lbs a hive once established. My bees die often though. I'm not that good at it. I've mostly been building up and not harvesting a lot though. This year I won't harvest much and if they make it through the winter, I will split them and get a good harvest next year. I have a a lot of stored honey and give a lot away also. Might sell some someday.0 -
What causes them to die? That's really sad.0

Mostly varroa mites. You don't treat for them they die.0 -
Ran a 5k race today. Was a little short at 2.98-miles (5k is 3.1-miles). Pace was 8:37/mile, which extrapolated to 5k would be 26:43. Was 1-sec/mile slower than my pf (post fat) pr (personal record) set last year on a flat course. Today's course had some long gradual hills and one short steep one so it was a pr for me on that course. Was happy with the results. I really die hitting a steep hill after a couple of hard miles. When I get to a flat course, I hope to go under 26:00 if possible. Hope everyone is doing well!2

Wow, bees! That's so cool...0

Busy day today. Hiked 8-miles with the scouts in the mountains and then took a couple hr nap and then the family went out and we did soccer golf which was kicking a soccer ball into large holes right on the golf course. Was a lot of fun. My watch says I've gone 15.7-miles today!0

Haven't posted here for a while. Got very busy. Weight has been creeping up. Last Monday hit 202 and so fasted Mon-Wed and got back down to 197 (my all-time low is 193). Am trying to get back into it since I think its been a couple of months since I've been doing OMAD.
Had a couple of good 5k races. Ran one two days ago on a very hilly course and was only 11-seconds off of my flat course best and I didn't have a chance to warm up for that race so I ran the first part really slow which probably cost me about 15 seconds or so. I may have set a pr in that race if I had warmed up before it so I think I'm in the best shape I've been in since losing weight. I'm running a flat course in two weeks and hopefully I will be healthy and injury free and can set a pr (the flat course may be a minute faster than the course I just did). I'm going to do a nice moderate 6-mile hill run later today just before sunset. Going to plant the rest of the garden today.0 -
Went bike riding instead of a run. Got in 11.83-miles. Was a good effort.
Planted a bunch of tomatoes, peppers, zuchini, yellow crook neck squash, egg plant, bush and pole beans, and cucumbers. Just need to get some melons and winter squash planted and will be done. Dang birds have been eating stuff I planted a couple of weeks ago (greens, peas, and beets) so I might need to replant that. Was a long day but was a good one. Hope all is well with everyone.1 -
Bob its so awesome that we know how to get the weight back off Great work on all that running!!!

Great work on getting the weight off. And your garden sounds great.
I got mine in the ground last week. I just did assorted tomatoes, peppers, squash and green hull peas.0 -
Being the "best shape" you've been in since losing weight is awesome! Definitely not all about the number on the scale.. 0

Yep, you can be a smoker and be thin but not have any cardio strength to do much. I would rather be heavier but have cardio strength than not. I would rather be thin and have cardio strength though. I'm less than 5-lbs from my low so that is not much weight gain either. I would like to lose another 20-lbs though. I think that would be optimal.0 -

I really like gardening. Hopefully the birds will leave it alone. Sounds like you got some good stuff planted. Tomatoes and peppers are most important for me so can make salsa!0 -
Still around. Still right at about 200lbs. Just running and haven't been doing much fasting so have gained a couple of lbs slowly. Will probably do some fasting on non-running days because I'm running in the mornings to avoid the heat.0
-
Its in the bag! You have the tools!0

I am also finding it hard to fast on lifting days, so I am sticking to OMAD on rest days!
Happy you're back 0 -
I'm trying something new. I'm eating a small lunch and then a small dinner and then run a couple of hours after dinner. I usually have eaten in a 4-hr window even when I was losing weight and doing this will shorten that eating window down a lot. I will try this and see how it goes and if not helping much I will still run after dinner but without the lunch.0
