I kept some of my pants and shirts I wore to the office from when I was at my thinnest back in 2016 towards the end of my running peak. They are too big now! I'm in the same weight range as then, but about 2-4 inches thinner for waist size (estimate from pants size and fit). That was a pleasant surprise when I pulled them…

One other thing about outdoor winter exercise is to plan your routes in case something happens so you can safely and quickly bail to a warm and dry location. As amazingly beautiful and serene winter time trails can be, if something happens in a somewhat remote spot (injury, weather, unexpected other thing) your body can…

November 5 ✅✅✅ Today's exercise was a strength routine (3 sets of dumbbell row, dumbbell overhead press, dumbbell bicep curl) Getting one full set of quality athletic winter gear (think layers) is more than worth the cost, in my opinion. In case it helps, starting from my normal warm weather running gear of running shoes,…

Happy birthday @katharmonic 🥳

Excellent work @edsheeran412 and awesome work keeping the push ups going another day even if you think you could have done more. Maybe just squeeze a single extra one in tomorrow and Saturday to make up for it? Or maybe do a couple before bed? Just having a daily streak going is crazy impressive, no matter what! @jjjcat…

November 4 ✅✅✅ Today's exercise was a strength routine (3 sets of dumbbell bench press, cable lat pull-down, cable tricep extension, dumbbell wrist curl) I copy the same meals like others have mentioned. I do best when I prelog and stick to that plan. On days where I know something different may come up I try my best to…

I haven't had a chance to check the shirts today, but I am pretty sure I donated every last one of them a couple years back with the mindset that any sentiment was better and longer kept in the medals (which have been in storage). I had a habit of wearing the race shirts I liked as regular casual shirts. So I never kept…

November 1 3 x Yes Today's exercise was an upper body strength routine (3 sets dumbbell bench press, banded lat pull-down, banded tricep extension, dumbbell wrist curl) Having planned for a potential week of pass days starting next Monday, my goals for November are to make the Champions list, and make myself proud of…

October 31 ✅✅✅ 4 pass days used (1st, 2nd, 7th, 24th) Today was a rest day but today was...very active and that's the only way to describe it I hope everyone had a very Happy Halloween, especially all the kids out there. Today particularly I'm recalling how much fun this holiday always was to me growing up, and with my…

Practice makes perfect @Scott6255 and you nailed it for November! I am firmly on track for nothing this month between the plantar fasciitis and an upcoming surgery (not the foot), but think I'll be back by January, maybe late December.

I have two forms of "air fryers". The first one is a multifunction countertop unit that serves as a toaster oven, air fryer, roaster, etc. Has heating elements on top and bottom, a fan to circulate, with 3 rack height levels, and came with a rack, basket, sheet pan and rotisserie. The second one came in the form of our new…

@tahm42 - Just FYI - Your macros are very similar to mine, I average roughly between 30% to 40% protein, and around 55% to 65% fat. I track net carbs instead of carbs and am usually around 5%. Wishing you the best. If I were to try and make a best guess about managing cholesterol, it's just so complicated. A lot of…
-
@tahm42 I hope you find something that helps. I certainly understand struggling to get cholesterol under control. I can't explain how mine ever became under control other than doing everything in my power to get my total health in line the way my doctor had always told me. I don't know if that helps. In my case I was told…

I'm not chiming in to claim any expertise or really to offer any advice, just to tell my tale of cholesterol given the conversation. In 2006 I had low HDL, very high LDL and ridiculously high triglycerides. No surprise to me given my eating habits. I did not want to go on statins. I spent the next 18 months going…

This challenge is currently helping me during a period where life is just "too busy". I am sure I am not the only one who has lost a lot of weight, only for life to start getting in the way, and next thing you know you start not tracking everything as closely, or finding the time to exercise, etc, and before you know it…

@mshawski - You mentioned doing something to funnel that energy into. Each person is different, but I will share that for me, outside of achieving distances I did not think I could, I believe that for me running was a pleasurable form of release or even escape from some of life's difficulties. I remember my brother once…

Checking in a little early and will update later if anything deviates from the plan, but I am quite sure all will stay on track.

I'm not going anywhere @Mrs_Hoffer I plan to continue with all of the tracking and as much of anything else as I can (particularly the exercise). I planned to keep the 25th as hopefully things are back to "normal" (whatever that was) by then! :lol:
