GAINZZZ
I'm still doing my arm-weighted walks. And still fixin' to consider starting to ponder weightlifting again.
What about you? What are your GAINZZZ? Any recommendations in books or TV? Any projects or plans you want to share? Here's a recommendation. Sort of: Garth Merenghi's Darkplace. All six episodes (it's British) are on YouTube. I recommend this with a caveat: It's not for everyone. You have to think a certain kind of meta humor is funny to enjoy it. The show is about a trashy and incompetent but extremely narcissistic British horror author named Garth Merenghi. During the eighties, he tried to get a horror series produced on British TV, but he was refused by every company. So he put a small amount of his own money into it and self-financed his show. Being a narcissist, he of course cast himself as the hero, Dr. Rick Dagless M.D., who everyone on the show is always complimenting for being so strong, so good-hearted, so giving, and so sexually virile. It's obviously a self-insert and wish fulfillment fantasy. To save money, he cast his publisher, who cannot act at all, as the head of the hospital. The show is about a hospital in which portals to hell have been opened. So, during their daily rounds of treating patients, they also have to confront demons and ghosts. I think because it was the eighties, and cop shows ere popular, Garth Merenghi couldn't choose between a Hospital show and a Cop show so he chose both. All the male characters inexplicably carry guns and whip them out at the drop of a hat. There is no in-show explanation for this. They're never said to have a military background or anything. That's just the Miami Vice vibe Garth Merenghi was feeling at the time. The last part of the premise is that these episodes have only recently been rediscovered, and they're being aired with commentary from Merenghi and the other actors, talking about how great this terrible, terrible show is. The first time I watched it I thought it was okay, but I was a little underwhelmed. But it's the kind of show that gets better on rewatches. Because it is aggressively weird. It takes some time to get on the same mental page as this very weird show.A good boy taking himself for a walk while it's raining.🐕🐾🚶 pic.twitter.com/DfSZmhjKG0

Good luck, if your ankle started hurting as a result of the motion of the walk you can get past that after you heal up some by altering where your impact point on the gait is on the hurt foot.
Experiment with balance shifting the impacts of your steps.

Since you asked...I've been pimping the Moron-recommended 'The New Dealer's War', Fleming. I suppose an immediate reaction would be that such a history would not be, as the Progs say 'relevant'. On the contrary, it is a highly relevant, well-documented look at the way that Progressive thinking works, and how it has embedded itself within the government.
I strongly recommend the acquisition and reading.

It is far more likely that both are actually indicative of the absolute lack of moral restraint taught societally anymore.

I just started re-watching Andromeda. Early 2000s show from Gene Roddenberry (posthumously) with a star trek vibe. TERRIBLE special effects and alien makeup, but nice simple sci fi stories, with a couple of interestingly original concepts thrown in here and there. No wokeness. Kevin Sorbo stars -- nobody idea of Sir Lawrence Olivier but a pleasant, solid focus for this kind of show. Plus a revolving cast of gorgeous Canadian babes in supporting and guest-starring roles.

The free version is extremely expansive and pretty easy to use. You set up what percentage you want fat, carbs, and protein to be (it can be anything you want) and then log your meals and it tracks calories as well as where you are on each macro at that point in the meal. It's pretty easy, although a little more work in the first couple of weeks as you build the list of foods you eat.
It has a massive crowd-sourced data base that includes many restaurant meals as well as homemade and also lets you use the phone's camera to read the barcode of packages. /1

Ackshewallee, the first three seasons, when Alfred's still around are the best. They're a pretty clever blend of history and fiction.
The main character, Uthred, is a Saxon who was raised by Danes and prefers the Viking way, but is torn between the two worlds. Lots of fighting, intrigue and sur[prisingly intelligent writing.
The fourth and fifth seasons aren't terrible but more fiction and feminist wishfullfillment is creeping into the mix with practically every scrawny maiden grabbing a broadsword and jumping into the midst of battle against seasoned warriors.
Lots of manly men for you ettes, but us guys don't get much in the way of beautiful babes though there are some.
Anyway check it out.

Though not diabetic, the goal is to keep morning blood glucose readings in the low 80s, and not let meals get over 140.
Walks are great ways each morning and evening to add movement. If one is looking at managing insulin sensitivity rather than weight, then a whole host of other maladies seem to go away. (e.g. high blood pressure, edema, insomnia, energy leveling) Weight drops off like surgery has taken place.

Fats. Part of surviving 18/6 (with occasional 20/4) Intermittent fasts is to avoid carbs as your last meal since hours later you just get hungry. So right before the end of the window, I have had great luck with a block of cheese. Also removed all forms of sweetener since it seems to make one hungry.
Chromium also acts as a suppressant. The combination works so well that I my usual window 9AM-3PM can actually be 11AM-3PM.

One Jump Ahead, by Mark L. Van Name
It's fantastic. A guy gets nanobots in his bloodstream from an experiment where it was assumed he died, and he is out doing odd jobs and looking for revenge. Oh, and he can communicate with machines via the nanotechnology. Did I mention he finds a bleeding-edge warship that was loaned to a colony in case of pirate attacks?
Really fun book. I'd never heard of the guy and am so glad I picked it up.'
Recommended. Well worth a trip to the library.

It's difficult to explain. It would seem like it was very challenging if one was to describe the circumstances (even two separate ICU doctors commented, unsolicited, that it made them re-evaluate their disbelief in God) but by the grace of God, it was a very rewarding and manageable.

I'm excited about starting my next piece. It's going to be a set of hoops glued together to give the effect of looking out a spaceship window. The bottom hoop will be black with a starfield, the middle one will be a transparent gauze with the Moon on it, and the top one will be transparent gauze with a space station. I think it will look really cool.

For people in terrible shape, which would be me, it's an approachable starting point. Honestly, because of my joint issues, it's realistically the end point for me as well because every time I try using even small weights they start breaking down my hands. And I'm sincerely and passionately devoted to my hands *not* hurting.

The thing you want to do is thoroughly test range of motion on joints and basic strength, and make sure you build THOSE up before escalating your workout.
Slow and steady, at least at first.

I went to the Everest base camp in Tibet in 2013. You may want to test your susceptibility to altitude sickness before you go. It hits some pretty hard and there's really no way to predict how you will react if you've never been at 16,000+ altitudes before.

A friend went on that trip and I was thinking about going too, but I never committed, partly because I read the current treatment for AMS was sulfa-based, and I'm allergic. He had a great time, but complained bitterly about the headaches and nausea he had going up to basecamp. He said it was worth it, though.

If you like Darkplace, also check out _Man to Man with Dean Learner_ where Richard Ayoade continues to play the Dean Lerner character from Darkplace but each week interviews a different person, always played by Matthew Holness. One of those has Holness in character as Garth Marenghi and they show a clip from the new full-length Darkplace movie. It's hysterically good.
