Good morning everyone! I'm winging my way to Israel a little later today, actually! We can't wait! So excited!

Good afternoon everyone! Greetings from NY...<24 hours until take-off to Israel!

I, too, tend to drink more in the summer due to the heat. More specifically, I focus more on hydration around running in the heat than at other times. During that brutal heat wave recently, for example, we left water outside and ran loops that passed by our house every 1-2 miles to get a bit of water with each loop. Other…

Good morning everyone! Last weekend in Columbus!

I've managed to keep sneaking my runs in nearly every day even though we've been traveling in-and-out-of-town and living out of suitcases for nearly a month now.

Good afternoon everyone! Back in Columbus for a few days.

Good morning everyone!

I have a bunch of specific daily goals. For example, I try to run at least 4 miles a day (Sun-Fri), I try to learn one page of gemara (a "daf") a day, etc. Those goals, however, leave lots of room for other stuff to "just happen," and I try to afford myself additional flexibility when I'm away (as I am now).

Good afternoon and greetings from the greater DC area!

Good morning from Alexandria, VA!

Good morning everyone!

As a physician, I can confidently say that most physicians are quacks! Ha ha ha! We got limited training at best on diet and nutrition. I can tell you all sorts of biochemical pathways and enzymes involved in the breakdown, uptake, circulation, and utilization of macro- and micronutrients. However, applying that to…

I've never forgotten to eat…whoever heard of such a thing?!? As others have noted, I have been too busy to eat, but that's also pretty rare. I don't really make "adjustments" per se, if this happens. The reality is that I eat a light breakfast, and I am therefore generally happy to eat lunch on the early side. If I don't…

Good morning everyone! Back in Columbus for a few days before our next trip!

Good morning everyone!

Sorry to hear about folks falls/injuries, hope you all recover soon. I haven't had issues with balance and falling so far, but it's an obvious risk as one ages. I recall reading somewhere that strength training can help with this issue. I imagine that using free weights with lower-body exercises, like squats and lunges,…

Good morning everyone!

Good morning everyone!

Good morning everyone!

I only take Calcium/Vit D based on my endocrinologist's recommendation for low bone density. Other than for truly specific reasons, I don't see a value to taking supplements. As noted, there isn't very much quality data to suggest that various vitamins and other additions help anything, and there is evidence that in some…

I don't think I take license with a good weigh-in. Though, to be fair, really good weigh-ins are few and far between as compared to bad weigh ins, so who can remember?

Good morning and greetings from the Big Apple!

(the "quote" option doesn't seem to work like it used to?) Charlie wrote "I’m curious, Steve - you mentioned traveling and AirBnB’s and such; are you making a memories tour or visiting family or seeing the USA before leaving for Israel?" We're visiting our kids and other family before we leave. We'll be flying out from…

I am a stress drinker. It's a terrible way to approach stress, I freely admit. Stress drinking leads to snacking as well, so it's a double-whammy! If I'm honest with myself, and could change one thing, that would probably be the issue I'd tackle.

I don't have a scale right now, so no official result. I haven't been very controlled in my intake, so I imagine I'm up. I did get my runs in on the non-rainy days this week, so that's good. We're "homeless" now (at least in the US), so we'll be living in AirBnbs and traveling for the next few weeks until we leave for…

Good morning everyone!

No allergies here, thankfully. I do get rare bouts of gout, so I'm supposed to limit "high purine foods" (including beer and red meat). I don't limit those, and haven't really had a significant problem.

Good morning everyone!

Good morning everyone! Closing on our house today (G-d willing)! Eek.

Good morning everyone!
