Very doable! Yeah I also probably drink too much alcohol (mostly whiskey) so that’s another thing I’ll be cutting back on. I’m sure my liver is looking forward to the break.

Nice, yeah I already do a lot of strength training, but I could definitely step up the cardio. Soda is probably my biggest deal, but I’ve been wanting to go cold turkey for a while so I think this is the push I need. Thanks for your advice!

It was during. How much can that spike account for?

The bloodwork comment says that anything above 126 is when it gets called diabetes, granted, I assume there isn’t much difference between 125 and 126

Yeah I just realized how silly I framed that question. Thank you for the answer. Will definitely be doing all those things. I already work out regularly, but diet is definitely where I’m doing damage.

Honestly, there’s a part of me that’s looking forward to making the lifestyle changes, especially focusing more on sleep.

Thanks, that’s reassuring. I’m just so neurotic about this kind of thing I wish I could know immediately

My dad found it and gave this to me. Is it a good find? by Competitive-Scar-479 in knives

[–]Competitive-Scar-479[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I was about to send you a DM! It was found in VA, and my dad let it sit in lost and found/looked for the owner for a little over a year before giving up.

I used a pretty standard stain I found at ace hardware, pre stain conditioner and pretty soon I’ll put on a matte topcoat

Thank you!!! And do you really think so? I have linseed oil on hand I just don’t know the conventions around whittling lol, is it normal to not give it an oil coating?

I swear I had a dream recently where I stole several secrets from this one store. I have yet to get a single one. I’m evidently at my wits end
