    It is snowing. Tomorrow is supposed to be sunny but even colder. I hope the apple blossoms survive! They just opened...

    Hey Canadians - could you please put out your fires? It's getting hard to breathe down here!

    I say that jokingly, but the AQI of 190 last night (which I know still pales in comparison to Edmonton and Calagary and the like) nixed my plans to walk outside last night. Instead, my hubs and I measured the rooms for air purifiers...yay.

    @jugar You know, it's interesting how many people use the sauna as a substitute for physical activity. I know you know that sweat doesn't equal burning kcals, but there are so many times I ask my patients about how their physical activity is going and they tell me 'oh really good, I went to the sauna the other day and sweated a lot'....I'm just glad that masks prevented my facial expression from being too obvious :D

    Masks were SO great for that! I love the sauna for recovery from "real" sweating, but by itself, not so much.

    I need advice! I've been working out a storm and playing lots of sports in a lot of fun new workout clothes but I'm having a huge problem finding undies that don't twist and bunch or ride up while doing squats or jumps or just pivoting. I'm not a fan of 'panty lines' so I've been purchasing athletic style thong underwear but at this point I'm getting desperate to find ANYTHING that will stop me from picking my wedgie after every set in my Tabata class! Does anyone have a recommendation or something that really works for them? It's really hard to fix your underwear under 3 layers of hockey equipment. I need a solution, this is nuts. I bought 15 new pairs and nothing works.
    Help!
    (also, please don't laugh too hard! 🤣)

    @PlaneMonkey I LOVE your question. But have no answers. I just wear boring underwear that probably gives me panty lines, but I don't really care as long as they behave. Denver Hayes. The dullest. They only give me troubles when they get old and loose. I hope you find something!!

    I don't feel like I've 'done' anything to warrant that. That said, we've had plenty of fast food, some serious weight lifting, an injury, not enough water and not many steps/no running. I've also not been tracking my intake. So on balance...

    My 'plan' is:
    • Track everything (I will use the Practise Better app as I can just take photos/free text entry)
    • 5000 steps a day (have signed up for a Conqueror Challenge with a co-worker to motivate)
    • 2L water a day (soft drinks are 'on top' of my 2L if I want them)

    I will start from there. I'm having no trouble with the muesli for breakfast and the smaller portions at lunch as per the dietician. Having photos of my food intake will make it easier to be honest about what else is or isn't going on.

    @PlaneMonkey so one option is commando, but if that's not your thing, I wear 'Bonded high waisted briefs' by Boux Avenue. I appreciate you may not be able to get the brand, but if you have a look at the style (I would link, but I'm not searching for underwear on my work laptop!) they are seamless, and high waisted. They don't go anywhere whether I am running or lifting - including all the work we've done on the snatch which is jumping into a deep squat position.

    I've been a bit lacking in effort this last week, we've had some lovely sunny days and I've been enjoying too many beers in pub gardens and snacking too much. I don't think I've overdone it enough to get an actual fat gain though, as I've still been tracking my calories and should be at maintenance levels. I'm quite bloated though and my totm is 3 days late (no, it's not 'that'!) so I'm hoping when it comes I'll start to settle back down.

    @PlaneMonkey I second the commando way, no lines or wedgies 😂 Although, I must admit, I wear boring bikini panties from Lane Bryant. I find the cheekie style and shorts cause wedgies for me while exercising.
