It's time to talk about the elephant in the room... (1 Viewer)

I haven't really moved much in the weight department. Never been a big diet guy. Just eat what's on the table when I cook. Never was a heavy eater though. Rarely eat large portions. I've always been been in the 140 to 160 range. Probably 155 right now. I do walk outside and run with our dog every other day and do some light aerobics most days.

I've always been a bit of a homebody, so the stay at home and working from home doesn't bother me much. I kinda miss going into the office because I walked probably a mile and a half to 2 miles a day on my commute and breaks from work. I don't come close to that while working from home.

You have a pool right?
Best thing for knees and back might be aquacerize or whatever it’s called
Not quite the cardio benefit
But best exercise for joints

Moved in October. No more pool and I miss it. I did very much enjoy treading water for 20 minutes. It was great for my back and never left me limping. May have to put in a new one, but there's no real way to get the huge, old-fashioned one we had and that I miss. I guess I could swim in the bayou, but it's kind of gross compared to the pool.

Same here. But that got boring too, so now they've resorted to cooking all kinds of weird stuff. It's pretty fun for them actually.

My friend from Oaxaca is teaching me how to cook different El Salvadoran and Oaxacan food. Grilled nopales on tortilla I just can’t do though

Mine too. And, the 98# wife can eat them all day with crumbs falling out of her mouth while doing yoga for the 3rd time and running 5 miles. I am glad to not like sweets.


Years ago, we moved to Niceville, FL for a while. We lived in a beautiful little condo on Boggy Bayou next to an elderly woman whose family owned Tisa's Restaurant. She used to bring me these cookies all the time. My wife liked them so much, Mrs. Tisa gave her the recipe and made her promise to never share or tell anyone.

Today is the first time I've ever mentioned it. the restaurant was bulldozed years ago so screw it.

Orange peal is the secret and almond extract.

I was actually down 5lbs as of yesterday. I've sure I ate that back in burgers, pie, and peanut butter eggs today.

Up almost 20 pounds since I went on vacation in early february

I am NOT home (im in alaska) and dont have access to anywhere to workout so am thinking about picking up Yoga from youtube.

My peloton is going to get used a ton whenever Im able to go back home as I need to drop this weight before I head back out to SE Asia for vacation in late august (hopefully)

I am the elephant in the room.
Down to 180 while dying, now a rotund 220. Lol can’t wait to get back home to my land where I can walk about freely. Lord knows I need to.

Did I miss something? Are you saying you’re no longer dying?

As we all are, I am...but per the docs I am no longer in the active phase of shutting down. Very thankful.

He got busy living

Got busy not being in agony, so thankful. And guess I moved to the other side of the bed, still mostly housebound but hey, it’s being alive and I’m thankful. ?

Ha, actually watched it with the kids tonight. I felt like the sloth after too big of a dinner tonight. Time for a run tomorrow.

Was probably down few after the first week of quarantine. But on the wrong side now?. But this thread just motivated me to take action!
