I'd been doing OK until the first day that I didn't do a morning walk, and then it all went to shit. I should probably get back on that. On the positive side, it's snow-shoveling season.

I sympathize. Truly. Same kind of situation here.

For me, Work from home ==> packing on on the poundage
Lately I've been doing more running too. Not just to lose weight but to improve the cardiovascular condition. Because of "these trying times" tm.
Been thinking more about how I could wind up in a situation of having to run from mostly peaceful protestors.

Same here. I have a treadmill and bike, weights... everything I need. I work at home... and it's like a math equation I haven't quite worked out.
After I get done with work, I haven't been able to get in the routine of working out. My brain needs a break. Or something. Then the later it gets in the evening the more tired I get.
So the workouts are... inconsistent. And honestly, being cooped up here all day, my energy level is sapped in ways it wouldn't be if I was just doing the normal movement of a normal day.

That's what worked best for me in losing my initial lockdown weight, walk on the treadmill for 2 miles first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. And I lifted weights in the afternoon while following the steak and eggs diet. I lost almost 40 lbs.

It's a local meet in January. Hopefully Cuomo won't fuck us over. Hate to have put in all this hard work and not get a chance to step on the platform.

Lifting. Both very light with more reps dumbbells for toning, and light deadlifts. Walking.
Jumping to conclusions. Reaching for hope. Dodging the chore list, occasionally.
I've lost 10 pounds since March. And am a tad more toned. Feel better.

Politics/debt aside. I'm at the edge of going under. And either stimulus check. WILL be a lifeline. And I know I'm not alone. The checks may be going out, merely to slow the arrival of the coming insurrection?
Though good luck with that.

Over the summer I went below 200# for the first time in about 15 years. Mostly due to just reducing my portion size and some inconsistent emphasis on meat eating. Oh, and quitting alcohol probably had a lot to do with it.

I'd appreciate the Horde's suggestions to improve physical fitness GAINZZZ to prepare for a SHTF scenario.
Posted by: Hands (he/him/lolgf) at December 17, 2020 07:24 PM (786Ro)
Pick a spot on the map, about twenty miles from home. Make yourself an Every Day Carry (EDC) pack. Ddg what that is.
Now, make a route plan to get to that spot, if SHTF.
Hike, bike, rollerblade. No motorized transportation. Measure you way points, how far you get on day one, out of shape. That's how far you can optimistaccly expect, when in peak shape, while SHTF is going down around you.
Camp there. With what you carried with you. Pretend to be a hibo, blend in.
Now, do that distance with that pack somewhere else, with hills, and stairs, for a week.
Go back to your first camp/hide location from scratch, but start at night, after work. Camp again.
Follow your preplanned route, until you need a break. Camp.
Now you know what you need for two nights and two days in your EDC.
repeat this until you reach your planned end point in two and a half days. Camp. Hide for three more.
Now you jnow what you need to cache at your original planned SHTF escape location.
By proxy, you've made yourself healthy enough to get there and probably lost weight doing it.
Practice thus. Make your loved ones practice it too. Give them all different routes to get to the same point.
When they succceed, reward them big. Like week vacation to the beach big, or maybe that Kimber they have their eye on.

alcohol like vodka, etc are the worst things you can put in your body
bar none.
Posted by: Hesco Gypsy, staring from 457 meters at December 17, 2020 07:34 PM (5j8uv)
alcohol is an interesting case. Technically it has no carbs and no sugars. But alcohol itself is a type of denatured sugar. That is my term for it, I know dick about chemistry or any other STEM course of study. So don't engage me on the technicalities anyone, it is just what i have seen. Alcohol comes from sugar, it is a result of yeast eating sugar.
There is ample evidence that many heavy drinkers who give up booze end up eating candies and other sugar products to stave off cravings. Many gain weight, just like ex smokers. Also, there has been research done that in many parts of the Bible Belt, were booze is banned and heavily looked down upon, the people their drink more sweet tea and sodas than in any other regions. I guess people are going to get their sugar one way or the other.

*fist bump* I'm 5'10 so I'm never going to be 110 lbs (and still be kicking), so I go by how my clothes fit. Favorite jeans getting snug, cut back eating. That and having always having an active dog and a physical job pretty much keeps weight manageable. Restaurants being closed also helps, as home cooking can control bad eating, usually.

I hit ***ahem50***, and decided I was to thin at 6'3" / 170.
I hit the weights hard, and got to 200lbs +/- 2lbs. I can't eat enough to move the needle any more than that.

As I walked in, a fat bastard was standing in front of the cheese plate, looking intently and still as a statue. I had the strong impression that he had been there as long as the bronze William Howard Taft.
Another coworker made small talk ... "Oh I've gained 10 pounds since I started working here..." a round-about complement of the food.
Gaining weight seems to be a way to commiserate, but not one I can participate in. My waist size is close to my army measurments, so that as I approach 200 lbs, I know that I can see muscular GAINZZZ. FYI veterans tend to be judgmental of fat people, even as they tend to BE fat people.

back 6 months ago after the first wave of 2 weeks to stop the spread got finished for lack of patients & my surgical team was able to go back to work, they got me in quickly and successfully reversed my ostomy.
YAY !
So as soon as I was reasonably healed up (some amazing scars !) I got on trying to build back some muscle & drop some weight.
Lot of hiking to start out - one day on a trail I said to myself "by the end of the year I'm gonna be under 200 pounds and I'm gonna run this trail" ... and I am happy to say I met both of those goals !
Not much to say; I started counting calories (yeah, I know, I know) something that worked for my data-collecting mind; started forcing myself to eat in a day what I once might have eaten in a meal-and-a snack (tried to keep it at 1800 or less). 4 months dropped me from 235 to 185 ... now I am experimentally determining what a maintenance level might be.
Hiking a lot for the other part, nice that Wisconsin's commie gubner didn't close the state parks, pretty easy & fun to get up to 2, 3, 4, + miles with no problem, then start pushing the pace, more up & downhill, finally in october I went out one morning and ran that trail all around the loop ... had to stop once for a minute (a half-century of Kools does have lingering effects) but I cut myself slack for basically completing it as intended.
This winter I am only hiking once a week to keep from slipping back, mostly focusing on abs and upper body ... I let my weight plates go in the last move so it's dumb & kettlebells, situps & pullups. The chiropractor in town lets me use his heavy bag so I try to do that at least a few minutes a week.

why is that? I could see if the guy you are playing is serving aces all the time. But I recall it being pretty physically demanding. You don't see a lot of fat tennis players.
Golf can be poor exercise if you do it wrong. Playing Horse on a basketball court is fun but far from optimal. Company softball likely won't make you slim. But to be fair there are not many fat soccer players or avid tennis players from what I have seen.

I have a Halti around here somewhere, so thought I might start working with him in the front yard. I don't want to take him out until I can be confident he won't pull me over.

I've been working out consistently 5 times a week for at least a couple of weeks now. I've lost quite a bit of weight during corona (also due to diet) . It took a few months but I can even do real push ups now.
I'm so much stronger, and it's really helped my previously wonky, currently bionic leg get so much stronger. I was never able to hop on the special leg and now I can a little!
This is the lady whose YouTube workouts I have been doing. They are pretty tough, probably even for guys.

They are a threat people remember enough to seem credible (The 80's called and they want their foreign policy back) but they economically and militarily aren't a force that needs to be tiptoed around.
Pointing fingers at Xinne the Pooh however will leave them poorer, and possibly out of a job when Xi decides to release the blackmail material.
So like any bully, they pick on the biggest kid they can who they believe to not be much of a threat.

I had 4 consecutive major knee surgeries - 2 for repair, 2 to remove staph caused by the second surgery. There is so much scar tissue there is no possibility of a knee replacement. And normal orthopods will not touch my knee. But I still have two legs (this was in doubt with the staph) so I am eternally grateful.

Nothing. I've gained back all the weight I lost for the NoVaMoMe and my job has me so stressed out that I haven't been able to write in over a month.
I wish I could just go away somewhere for a long weekend to write, but NH and ME are now pulling people with MA plates over and, if you're not going food shopping or one of the other "approved" activities, you're told to get back to MA.
My idea is to hike the Appalachian Trail. It is pretty much guaranteed if you do that, you will end up much thinner.

sure it is possible. Some gain weight in Basic too. They usually stared off pretty thin though. But you do have a point. Their is really no amount of exercise that can't be countered by eating.
I know for myself, hiking 10-12 miles a day for months on end would be a shock to the system. I bet I would drop 50 pounds. But I get what you are saying, it is possible to no lose much. It really comes down to how much you are changing your routine. If the exercise and eating/drinking isn't a huge change of routine, then really, you can't expect much change.

In 2004, we wanted to take Lacey to the National Specialty for her final show. She had had puppies, then pyometria that required her to be spayed. She was fat and out of shape.
Every morning I'd load Lacey and a bicycle into the van and take her to the high school track and run her. Because she was so well show trained there was never a problem with her trotting next to me as I rode.
Making a long story short, she got fit, went out to Olympia, WA and won the specialty from the Veteran class.
We now have a Jog-a-Dog down in the kennel. The tread is 75 inches long, so even the big boys have no trouble staying on it,

My machine IS currently compromised. Just like back in 2014 (when I was hauling most of Drudge's water).
Just because I'm paranoid, doesn't mean that they aren't out to get me.
Reality just is. And the deep state, the Creepfilth Tech Overlords, the FNIC (fake news industrial complex), and the Left.
Are still at war. Even though Biden "won." Which tells me that they ARE scared. Of January 6th.
War is inevitable. There are no other possible outcomes. As much as I wish I am wrong.
And even if Trump lays down the (Marshal) law. Doesn't mean that they won't then be engaged in open Treason. And do even more evil (than stealing the election).
We have yet to see how crazy things are really going to get. Jiminy.

I read it. Bryson is a horrible ass. He is actually cruel for no reason at all. Having said that, he is a good writer. And he did have some interesting insights on the AT.
I used to hike the AT on three or four day hikes years ago. I know to be realistic, I would have to build up to the thru hike. Probably I will never do it. But I am pretty damn sure if I did at least I would lose some weight.

It's not you, it's them. Why do we know famous people from 20, 40, and 60 years before we were born? But I see people today who have no clue about famous people from the 60s and 70s. At some point when you were born is no excuse. There has to be another reason for this.

I live in Chicago and like snow in the Winter, so I'm used to

creep back up into the 40's.

Thanks, but the truth is I'm kind of miserable right now. I stopped dancing tango last December because the scene in Columbus was too small, and then the Kung Flu stopped all dancing and I don't know when it will start again. I moved to VA only to discover that the job is a) going to be even less of what I wanted and more of what I don't than my old job, and b) likely full-time telework indefinitely, which means I could have moved to Austin and signed up for the Austin CC's blacksmithing program.

It explicitly says you can turn the microphone off temporarily.
Amazon says HALO requires users to be nearly naked for the complete body scan to calculate body fat percentage. This scan requires users to stand in front of their phone's camera in their underwear for a 360-degree scan.
You train the device to recognize your voice by reading sample phrases, and then it listens out constantly for moments in conversation that go beyond your neutral tone. (There is a button you can press to temporarily turn off the microphone.) The Halo plots these moments as positive vs. negative and high vs. low energy, and then applies more nuanced descriptors to them -- for example, a voice that registers as negative and low energy might be classified as "discouraged." You can review a dozen, or more, of these per day in the Halo app.

A few years back I read a book, A Fete Worse Than Death, which was an English writer's travels around the UK to strange events like the solstice gathering at Stonehenge or the giant pasty roll in Wales. At one point, he was going to stay at a Butlin's summer camp with a friend of his who commented that the fellow tourists made her feel like she was riding the "trunky bus," which is apparently regional English slang for the "short bus."
So I say "trunky bus," because I like the sound.

Eons ago I had the pleasure of visiting Detroit with a dude who grew up there. He was old enough to have experienced first hand the riots of... whichever year that was, '67 or '68.
Gave a history lesson on what happened in this neighborhood and that.
Took us to clubs in the heart of the city, where the most authentic blues and soul music I've ever heard was being played. Great food, laid back atmosphere.
Of course, this cat fit it a LOT more than I did, but being able to visit with him, it was an experience I'll always treasure.

And how "meme-driven" were they back then? I don't think I could keep all the "cultural references" from only The Simpsons or Seinfeld in my head. Happy Days had..... /twothumbsup "Aaaaay". How many people really know more than just "as God as my witness" from WKRP?

A busy restaurant that requires movement is like a gym that pays you. I went from 240 to 195 in 8 months at Texas Roadhouse, for example.
Pay isn't great, but that wasn't the point for me... much like having a fitness coach that you pay for, a busy restaurant kitchen is a bunch of people staring you down (read: wanting you dead or out) if you don't perform. I think it's even more effective. With a fitness 'coach' or 'advisor' you can say "pffff I don't feel like it."
Thanks to lockdowns those jobs have either shut down or become extremely limited. For no real reason. We always were careful about precautions / food contamination prevention protocols.
Old steak house invitee me back, but they cross schedules with my main (better paying) job so we'll see.

The Breslin Center has been there as far back as I can remember (including when I was in high school back in Grand Rapids). What on earth would it have been on the way to or from, though? Why would someone be out that way if they weren't headed to or from Breslin? The only other things out that way are Brody and Kellogg, and if you're headed there, you can stick to the river and at least get some windbreak.

What a thing to behold. Indians were leading late in the game, playing the Blue Jays. Every time George Bell came to the plate, some loudmouth in the stands would start ringing a bell, yelling "Who's ringing that bell??" I am sure everyone in the stadium could hear him. Of which there were maybe... 5000 of us?
Anyhoo, Jays came back and won the game, but not before the fog rolled in. Holy smokes was that a sight.

Respectfully disagree. I moved 13 times before the age of 20, when I finally moved out. Not military - my father's solution to problems was to quit and move. On the good side, I did learn how to adapt and persevere. On the bad side, I learned to never trust that anything good will last. Especially relationships. True to this day.

Wilson is by Case, right? They've put in a football training facility there, so it might not be open fields any more. But anything that runs east-west (like Shaw) is a wind corridor anyway, and there's Munn field to the northwest that's just a big open area all the way to... to Kalamazoo and Harrison, I think.

Of course I have copies. Get a letter tues. responding to my June 23 letter and they want all credit info, and on and on.

Ohio Territory fought in the greatest Indian war in the 1790s. Arthur St.Clair marched north toward the Miami tribes near what is now Ft Wayne. Got his army wiped out in the largest disaster the US Army ever had against the Indians. The battle has no name.
"Mad" Anthony Wayne formed a second expedition, building camps that formed the sites of the cities of Hamilton, Dayton, and others. Defeated the Indians outside of modern Toledo, where the British (!) had a fort aiding the Indians. The Brits, ever perfidious, shut their gates while Waynes men hunted down the fleeting enemy.
Wayne put a fort at Ft Wayne to watch them from then on and as part of the peace settlement the English had to pull back from many of their occupied parts of the Northwest Territories.

Fascinating aspect of Municipal stadium, the outfield fence was obviously moved in from where it had been originally, and I know the configuration meant they had to keep it there for football. But there was this massive expanse of real estate behind the fence, and I thought how incredible it must have been to watch a baseball game back then, when a batter could have gotten hold of one and sent it to deep deep DEEEEEP center... only to have it caught.
You didn't get that with the symmetrical stadiums.
If I could be transported back in time, to see games at the Polo Grounds, Forbes Field, Ebbets. I don't care if they were shitholes, that would be heaven to me. Oh, and maybe old Yankee stadium too. I guess.

That fence moved around quite a bit, depending on how good the pitching was.
There is no truth to the rumor that the Stadium was built to try and host the Olympics.

I'm not sure if I'd ever heard that as a rumor.
I have some old games on dvd, purchased online reasonably cheap. Among them are the Len Barker perfect game, and same year, the 1981 All Star Game.
So... yeah, the place does look dismal on teevee. I assume they tried to pretty it up for the ASG, but it didn't work.

I have that series on dvd! It was actually packaged and sold by MLB. It's amazing how many series are NOT available... officially.
I'd like to have the '71 Series. Even blurry and hard to watch teevee transfers (which most bootlegs are).

I think she "received" $27,000 from her 40% share in a business, but never actually got the cash, so she owes the IRS taxes on that money but doesn't have it available. She's been paying $200 a month but now the IRS is getting more aggressive.

Lipstick on a pig...
My highlights
'68 Browns v Colts...we got killed, but they were the first tickets I bought with my own money.
Saw Dick Bosman's no hitter where he only faced 27 batters. One guy reached first on an error, and got rubbed out on a double play.
Picked up 6 foul balls at the net behind home plate on third base side. Got mentioned on the radio broadcast.
Was at Ten Cent Beer night, and just missed going out on the field to make an ass out of myself. Had to stay for the case we just bought.
Was at Frank Robison's inaugural game as manager.
And of course many more unimportant games...

-no, I had 27K Imputed as income on my 1040. That means according to the numbers I received 27K on income that I actually did not receive.
$200/month since is $1,200.
That's $25,500 according to my math. Not $4,000.
-the taxes I owed were 4K not 27K. Income is different than taxes.
Regardless, call the CPA.

I watched that on Youtube this year. You have to dig around for it but it's there. Not HD by any stretch but that's fine. To see Clemente in complete form and a young Stargell, totally worth it.

That's Game 7. You can find the other 6 on YTube, somewhere.

I know of a site on Youtube that has various games, but no whole series. Seems odd to me.
Anyway, the ones I have on dvd, are almost certainly the exact same transfers that appear on Youtube.
MLB never bothered recording them, apparently, and have no intention it seems of releasing older Series on dvd packages.

Got it. Imputed income. 15%.
There're not gonna do anything over $4,000, less the $1,200. Send a registered letter with all receipts, etc..

I'm a wannabe pole dancer. I train in my garage now. Been dancing 7-8 years but im not very good. Having a baby sets yourfitness back! Since the lockdowns i've been taking zoom classes to learn tricks/routines and try to get more flexible. I still don't have splits but i'm getting there. I'm definitely at the best skill level i've been, though that isn't saying much. It has helped me lose 60lb though.

Not exactly looking for GAINZZZ, more the opposite. It seems to be working, though.
Probably more expensive than a regular gym, but I hit my yearly out-of-pocket with a $107,000 hospital bill, so my insurance is paying for it until January.

After that, do whatever you're doing while walking. I take 50% of my calls on my treadmill- I just go slow enough that I am not sweaty and can still maintain the illusion of professionality. Shoot for -300 to -500 calories a day. I hit -1200 a day and then enjoy my life to the tune of 900 calories of whiskey and treats in the evenings. It's not the fastest way, but it's SUPER sustainable and allows for joy. Egg whites + Low cal protein for brunch. Veggies and Steak for dinner- maybe a protein bar here and there. Also, it helps me to get a friend involved in the journey and have them call me out. G'luck!
