Thanks for the info!
I actually know a bit about low-inflammation diets (mostly low meat and being selective on carbs) from when I was running track. I always saw it as a high-performance thing, but some habits have stuck around. And for a long time I’ve done Meatless-Mondays since it’s an easy and mostly thought-less thing to do.
Thanks!! Just did a bunch of insulin research and added key takeaways to my notes. I’m pretty great at getting good sleep, and work has finally started to slow down making my life feel far less stressful
Thus far, I’ve been pretty un-safe when it comes to mountain biking. Lot’s of little crashes that could have been easily avoided. Fortunately I hate crashing and have been working on risk analysis and I don’t think I’ll lose out on much fun by being 20% safer. I’m currently down-tuning one of my bikes to make it less capable so that it’ll be more fun on simpler trails. With a super capable bike, it sometimes feels like you have to ride the gnarliest things to be having fun. Riding a gravel bike (the least capable of the off-road bikes) on one of my least favorite boring trails was eye-opening to me on how fun “under-biking” is. And any speed decrease increases safety a lot.
I sprained both my wrists in a bike crash, then just as they were nearly healed I crashed again and sprained just my left wrist. After like 9 months it was still bothering me a bit so I decided to go to physical therapy and the exercises cleared everything up in ~3 weeks. Wish I’d known earlier that a brace and limiting movement wasn’t actually helping anything.
I’ve got the supplements, just need to work on making a habit of taking them…
Little bits throughout the day are probably better than lots once a week
I sit at a desk a TON. Started having back problems and was trying to work in exercises to help. What ended up working for me is an hourly notification that gives me a random exercise to do. I’ll usually do a few other exercises with each break as well. It’s been a miracle for my back, and definitely is something I plan to stick with - and should be good for arthritis too it seems!
Great info, thank you!! I’m compiling the things I’ve learned to make a personal list of things to try to add more of to my life, and things to try and have less of. I’m starting to realize that diet isn’t something to ignore just because I’m fit…
Great info, thank you! Adding it to my notes.
I’d buy Magic The Gathering and just make it less greedy
As a teen, I once went to open the microwave but the handle wasn’t attached, it just lifted off. I think one of my siblings broke it and then placed it back carefully. Half my family was in the room when I lifted the handle off and to this day they don’t believe me that it offered 0 resistance and that someone else might have broken it. We kept that microwave for years after that and just had to pry it open with finger nails.
Magic cards Edit: did not get any magic cards. Got some cash though so I may head over to my LGS later this week
Been grinding Deep Rock Galactic Survivor
Found myself doing “tips and tricks” research already, so I think it’s safe to say I’ll be dumping a lot of time into the game
Deep Rock Galactic Survivor. I like to play casual games after work to de-stress a bit. Mostly tower defense games. Hoping this one will work well
My ass! My ass! My beautiful ass!
I was biking near campus in a bike lane and an old truck matched my speed (maybe 15mph) and then the truck came into my lane a little so I slapped the side to make noise. The passenger was a girl and her window was down so I yelled something and she looked back at me a face that I can only describe as “I don’t want to be here” but then she looked forward again and I noticed the driver was looking over his shoulder at me with a big smile. Anyway, he forced me off the side of the road and I rolled to a stop in some grass and was totally fine, just shocked that someone would do something so reckless. He easily could have bumped me and I could have ended up under a tire. The truck then shot off (in a 25 zone).
This is why I lose in Magic the Gathering so much. I’ll be like “wow what a combo, I could go on but this is mean enough.” And then two turns later I lose to a mean combo. I don’t think it’s actually mean, the goal is to win. I just think it can be more fun to not have huge plays, even if that results in more losses.
Cycling
I started biking to work after we moved closer and next thing I know I’m into mountain biking and have built 2 bikes
Pretty sweet! I’m still trying to learn to wheelie my mountain bike so that I can learn to manual after that…
