How I'm handling the cold weather:
head - Snarling and bitching and remaining viciously torqued off until spring. Just like every year.
body - See #1.
hands - See #1.
legs - See #1.
feet - See #1.I get that. Most days in the past week, I did not and I mean DID NOT WANT to go out there. But after coming back, I've never once regretted it. So, I start anyway.
My deal with myself is I give it 2 miles. If I still felt like packing it in by then, I would.

@aqua-letifer All seriousness, I admire that, I really do.
I've been working on building discipline and mental toughness for awhile. Made some progress, not as much as I'd like. But I let myself off the hook when it comes to being cold. I hate being cold more than anything on earth. It's my kryptonite.
But you go. I'll applaud your iron will from my nice warm house.

That's a good idea. There's a mountain hike I do where there's a shortcut which cuts it back from 7 miles to 2. I should let myself take that shortcut guilt-free, just as long as I start it.
Education is extremely important.

I don't know if you'd call it a brain hack or whatâfor me it just seems like further proof that my present self can be shit-for-brains when making decisionsâbut yeah, it seems to work, more often than not. On the days it doesn't, who cares, because averaged out it still does.

Iâm halfway back to my pre-pregnancy weight. I had a bad 2 months while Luke was back over the holidays then got stuck here until February⌠Got back on plan in early March and dropped about 15lbs. Iâm hoping to drop another 15 by May 9th. Then I will be back within my healthy range (though on the high side).

@LuFins-Dad what "plan?"

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

@LuFins-Dad what "plan?"
Back in 2018, Karla had started an âoptimal healthâ plan⌠That was really just a marketing slang for Optavia, which was just a rebranding of Medifast. But hereâs the thing, it really worked for her.
So, seeing her, a lot of our friends wanted to lose weight. They all started Optavia, and started losing weight. I had been going at it the old fashioned way and had gone from 240 to 230, but wasnât going any lower. So I gave it a try. Dropped down to 205 and was happy enoughâŚ
A few months later and Karla was pregnant so the sympathy weight started. Then she was put in bed rest in month 5 and the weight kept coming⌠Finley was born in September of 19 and I leveled off at 225. Then a few months later came COVID⌠I got right back to 245âŚ
When I started the thread I managed to lose some weight but stalled. So I am back on the plan and making progress. I hope to be at 205 in 5 weeks, and after the trip Iâm hoping to knock out a bit more. Iâm eyeballing 195âŚ

Not quite at the 205, but close... It's nice to be back within the limits (barely) of "optimal weight" for my height!

Anybody remember this thread?
I haven't being doing much proper exercise over the winter, but I've been fasting up until 11.30am1 about 4-5 times a week.
Down at 168 pounds now, which is 12 pounds lost for not much effort.

I'm trying to use my treadmill as much as my knees will allow. Lifting weights every day, but that's just going to increase my weight. One door to door salesman recently asked if I had played division 1 football. I was so flattered, I bought two solar panel arrays from him. I found out at install, that my home only had one roof. Awkward.

They always tell me how wonderful my accent is, presumably because complimenting my physique would probably be construed as sarcasm.

I havenât gained the weight back that I lost during my year long gym absence due to Covid. I also took off about 3-4 months when I tore my rotator cuff last June. But Iâm back at the gym, 1hr15 or so 7 days a week. Iâm putting muscle mass back on, and Iâve started a treadmill cardio routine for the first time since well before transplant.

And they say Americans will use anything but the metric system.
The Brits use all the systems. Metric, imperial, Ancient Roman...we mix and match as necessary.
I was only joking
