  • Even outside of the fitness benefits, that sounds like a great way to break up any monotony.
  • Yea even on weeks when I'm not doing a whole lot I hit 150 active minutes. I just went scrolling through the Garmin Connect app and I have to go back to the week of May 13th of 2019 to get to a week where I did anything other than just graze that at 154 minutes. And while I recognize that you're older than I am, I row/erg…
  • An hour and 5 min recovery ride on Zwift. An actual recovery ride, what a concept.
  • I primarily care about how well the clothing functions for me and how comfortable it is. That includes neon/reflectability, water-repellency, and how warm or cool something will keep me. I am a big fan of my neon Gore cycling jacket that I use for rowing because my coaches and other rowers/coxswains can see me on the…
  • The Polar H10 also works with swimming, but I'm almost positive it will only sync swim HR data back to their app (it certainly won't to a Garmin in terms of HR data taken while swimming) and maybe some of their older watches. That said, there are a number of watches that will their inbuilt optical HR sensor for HR data…
  • Monday/Wednesday/Friday: Leftovers Tuesday/Thursday: soup from the bakery near the school I work at in the afternoons or either something from the Whole Foods like store nearby
  • Morning: 50ish min of yoga Evening: erg practice of what felt like death. Had I been a little more thoughtful and checked what today's workout was yesterday, I wouldn't have done that Zwift workout. Got good feedback from two coaches though and my sculling coach was very pleased with my splits. Even better is that I'm…
  • I feel like this is a, "how long is a piece of string" question. That is to say, there is no answer.
  • An hour and 15 minutes of hellish intervals just below and at FTP on Zwift. Quoting myself from what I told a friend of mine who is a cyclist, "this is why taking a break for [nearly] a week and then doing the next week's second hardest workout because Zwift is dumb and won't let you go back and do missed workouts in their…
  • For the sake of finding this thread given that it will eventually get pushed down this page and onto other pages, it might make sense to create your own group.
  • Satsumas, apples, pita with tabouli (those three were actually just my breakfast this morning), various other things that aren't eggs, dairy, or nut butter. But really I mostly snack on apples. Given the various things that I don't eat, it's hard for me to find a variety of quick things to snack on.
  • A stack of the 8 successful pita (out of 10).
  • Unfortunately meds don't work for quite a lot of people (this isn't a judgment or a reason not to try them, it just is what it is). That said, do think about also finding a therapist if you haven't done so already
  • Yesterday: potato hash with chicken sausage (not a whole lot - next time I'll use more), onions and diced bell peppers Today: pita! Pita dough is proofing and has around another hour
  • 70 minutes zwift "foundation" ride. First Zwift ride in 5 days or something like that and it felt pretty good.
  • Hmm, I might have to make these next week or the week after, halving the recipe because I don't need 16 brownies. That and I'd use regular flour and regular sugar. What is the texture like? I'm also all about full fat/sugar recipes, but I also know that I'm having trouble cutting back on sweets.
  • One of these days I will get my way down to NZ. It's very high on my list of places I'd like to go, but it's also the most expensive flight (never mind my only actual phobia being flying - though that hasn't stopped me fly anywhere else). I suspect it will be needing to go to a conference that will take me there.
  • I don't think you replied to any of my posts that weren't about pita (and calories), but between sarcasm on the internet and the way threading of comments on this website works... But on the topic of calories, pizza, and pita, MFP calculates that the last time I made pita bread it was nearly 300 calories per piece. I don't…
  • I have been to Sizzle Pie! My weird cheese pickiness means that I rarely get pizza there though (I don't like cheese very much/don't like it in most situations - pizza is the only real reason I tried to get myself to like cheese). I suspect the E Burnside location isn't too loud and the W Burnside one is really an issue of…
  • Even if it was dripping in sarcasm, the first part of my reply still stands - I was what, third in the line of non-pizza hut calorie related replies? Why reply to mine? And in case it wasn't clear, I don't really care what people like or don't like with regards to food - my choice in pizza isn't somehow worse or better,…
  • Swimming is great. There are a handful of reasons why it's not especially ideal for me personally, but it's great. I'll also echo everyone in saying that you won't be wasting your time. Really exercising more broadly isn't wasting your time, but swimming is a great workout. If I had time and energy I would probably do it…
  • Was there sarcasm that I just didn't read into it? Sarcasm online is unideal in the best of times. (And now we're actually off topic).
  • 12.6km bowing a quad. My first time bowing a quad since...June or July maybe? It's better now that I'm not scared of what felt like everything and the water was super flat, but it was still not my favorite thing in the world.
  • Like others have said, the question is what are your limitations and (as is the question for everyone) what are you doing?
  • See at least three of the posts above mine (including one of the OP's).
  • Also for what it's worth, the author of Flour, Water, Salt, Yeast is a lovely person and his bakery and pizza places are awesome.
  • Honestly this was my thought but my version was much more flippant. If I want good pizza, a national or multinational chain is not where I'm going to go looking for it (for what it's worth I also just don't like Pizza Hut, nor Dominos - I'll eat it when I have no other choice of food, but otherwise...). For fast and fairly…
