This looks amazing. I’m impressed you even have the little stainless steel containers.

Hey, that’s great to hear! Solid progress ✊ I’m down to about 225-230lb now, so we’re probably a similar size.

I picked up BodyGlide and put it in my thighs to help reduce the friction and that’s helped a lot. Running can offer some embarrassing or nasty pains. People aren’t usually shy about talking about ways to overcome them though!

I’ve been reading and watching videos on “Zone 2” running to build one’s aerobic base. Basically, for non-race runs: slow down. When the heartrate is too high to muster a few sentences while running, you should go slower. I was skeptical, but it’s worked. I guess the heart is a muscle, too, and maybe an important one. So now, every time a new song starts in my headphones, I go through a breathing exercise to take 5 of the deepest breaths I can and semi-slowly release them. It forces my legs to slow their pace.

Sorry for the soapbox moment. I wanted to say good job 👍 keep up the good work. You’ve made solid progress

This was the first song I’ve ever heard from them, or of power metal in general, and it blew open my world!

Between the phrasing of the title and the image of her, absolutely yes.

All the HELL IS REAL and anti-abortion billboards too.

The Chicago as a reference point had me cracking up.

Just another 500 miles and I’ll be home!

Karma is a weak excuse when used to justify bad behavior. I can see it as a useful tool for coming to acceptance for a unfortunate events, but I still think it’s poor because it means that one has previously committed sins and that’s ridiculous. As far as acceptance goes, some things just “are” and what’s right or wrong will only cause mental suffering. Of course, I don’t believe in reincarnation, so not everyone will share that.

I was going to expand and relate it to a violence bank one can pull from, but I’d rather not further dwell on this any further.
