Yes x 3 for me. Exercise was weights in the morning and then a dedicated day of house cleaning. Tricked my Fitbit with all the scrubbing motion . As to the restart/habits discussion, game changer for me. Very grateful for this group.6

Miniscule climb - 400 feet
Here is some dysfunction for you. What if I got 50 minutes of exercise biking the 8 mile round trip to the beer store?
Even weirder - Strava has got segments on that route. So I got PRs going to the beer store and back.
But my month's climb is up to 22,000 feet. So I am kind of on track to my goal for a 30,000 foot month. 1,000 foot per day average. That is what I want.
I ought to put a picture of something.
- I put a picture of a can of fiber supplement. I most always close the kitchen with a chug of fiber supplement. There is a lot can be said about that.
- I am an old guy kind of. I got a doctor called gastroenterologist. Goog says I ain't spelling that right. But that doc does a thing called colonoscopy. I know, I know, but you got to do it. It will add years to your life if you got a genetic predisposition to those kind of problems.
- That doc told me one time "are you taking a fiber supplement?" I said "yes" He said "what kind?" I said "psyllium husk." He said "double it."
- So I ain't blowing smoke when I say fiber supplement. Real doc said do it.
- Weight watchers - I used to do that like 50 pounds ago. Back in those days they had a slider. You look at food labels and get the calories and slide it up, but if there was fiber in that label you could slide down a bit.
- So I figure that. You can slide your calories down a bit if you are eating fiber. When you think about it - makes perfect sense.
- Other thing about fiber is - if you want exercise in the morning there is that thing that you don't want in the way of it.
- I exercise in the morning. My exercise takes me miles from any sort of convenience.
- But stop me before I go into too much detail. I just say regularity is convenient and accommodates an active lifestyle. It is good for your health on multiple counts. I ain't no doctor and I ain't got oodles of credibility but just saying what works for me.
- Sorry if I am too weird.4 -
Yes x 3!
Exercise was lap swimming at the indoor pool because the PT group cleared me to swim with only one restriction of keeping my arms below the water line, no problem! I used a kickboard when flutter kicking and ditched the kickboard when doing the breast stroke. It was great to be back in the water!5 -

@BuddysSurrogateGrandpa1 After having had psyllium fibre for years, suddenly one day I couldn’t, it sent me running to the bathroom. I’ve read that I’m not the only one this has happened to. I have to rely on fruits and veggies for fibre now. Hope the psyllium keeps working for you.1

I wonder what is different about that? My wife sometimes takes an antibiotic then she can't even have a salad without getting that problem.0 -
