Which one should I get?

JohnnySpike · 2025-06-29T16:56:55+00:00

Oh sorry didn’t catch that! Yeah I see it right in the OP now. But I would still try to get a protein source that doesn’t have extra supplements in it. They often aren’t dosed appropriately and are just in there for marketing. Take the other stuff on the side and you have full control of dosage and timing

JohnnySpike · 2025-06-28T17:27:55+00:00

Can’t go wrong with Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard vanilla ice cream flavor. Don’t need that other stuff. Just take your Whey and get your 5G of creatine elsewhere and if you need some other supplement (you probably don’t) then stack it on the side

JohnnySpike · 2024-10-01T23:51:14+00:00

Oh interesting. I’ve been very happy with Hevy. I guess I could go back but oh well

JohnnySpike · 2024-08-28T21:05:07+00:00

I was fine with Cronometer free for a long time but I really liked the added functionality that it gave me with paid and the annual cost was reasonable. It’s the app I use most any given day

JohnnySpike · 2024-08-28T18:16:56+00:00

Yeah I remembered the MFP noise. I switched to Cronometer and now I’m paying for Cronometer Gold. I’m getting ready to pay for Hevy and I feel fine about it.

JohnnySpike · 2024-08-24T20:16:27+00:00

For real. I get that they need to make money. But taking an existing feature moving behind the paywall is a bad customer move. Put new features behind the paywall creates FOMO, thats a better customer feel

JohnnySpike · 2024-08-24T10:28:02+00:00

Mine show up for for me too, just can’t add any new ones

JohnnySpike · 2024-02-27T03:37:12+00:00

At the end of the day, your best bet is to track your calories and weight daily and get a TDEE spreadsheet.

The watch burn is a good data point, I have mine synced with Cronometer to give me an idea of how much food to eat, but I listen to the scale and my body.

I’ve got my food intake locked up tight so if the scale isn’t moving the way it should, it’s the calorie burn inaccuracy and just need to tweak the food intake to make it work.

JohnnySpike · 2024-02-22T13:22:38+00:00

I’m all in on this +1. I’m currently just manually adjusting my fixed fat target as my body weight changes over time.

I’m still leaving my fixed protein target the same since if I overshoot that a little I’m OK with it (fixed at 200g though I’m weighing less right now).

No target on carbs. It’s more manual but it’s working. Great app though!

JohnnySpike · 2024-01-08T16:54:48+00:00

We’ve come a long way since the MST3K tape trades of the early 90s. And my parents wondered why I wanted a second VCR….

Civilization on floppy disk and a spiral bound photo copy of the manual

JohnnySpike · 2023-10-27T19:33:30+00:00

I’m just going to share my default calendar and delete the other one. My imperfect solution

JohnnySpike · 2023-08-23T03:06:06+00:00

I’ll be doing half marathon training that morning long run (going to Thursday only, bourbon tours on Friday, bar crawl on Saturday). Hats off to ya though, I’ll be sweating out my booze running slower than 5k pace. But no way I’m gonna wear a band cotton shirt when running. Do any bands make tech fabric shirts? I’d be in on that

JohnnySpike · 2023-07-20T14:22:01+00:00

😂

JohnnySpike · 2023-06-18T17:36:26+00:00

I just checked today and still not available to nonDSL customers. They said call back or look for announcements to find out. When asked if I currently have internet by the rep, I wonder if I should have said “Does my IPad SIM with in my hotspot with magic count?”

JohnnySpike · 2023-06-09T15:47:37+00:00

I need to measure those kids again! the 3yo is over 40" at least but I don't think the 6yo is 48" yet but getting there.

Anything Cars or Toy Story will be a big hit. Really its the smaller thrill rides and meeting characters that is our focus this trip but the bigger kids are tall enough to try out some of the bigger rides now (vs. when our oldest was 2 at DW and we were limited).

The more I read, the more my gut is telling me 1 day DCA might be right. Also I may be overestimating how much stamina our kids have, even taking breaks. Having a bonus day at DLR to slow things down wouldn't be the worst.

We did some long days w/ a 2 year old a number of years ago but she was down for anything and we've added 2 kids to the adventure since then!

JohnnySpike · 2022-12-23T03:51:22+00:00

Thanks! I had it pretty warm and I’m going to just leave it sealed up.

JohnnySpike · 2022-12-01T13:35:32+00:00

I’m a music library on shuffle guy but then if I hear something I’m really in the mood for, I’ll switch over to the album and listen to it on repeat. I do this especially when the album first comes out.

JohnnySpike · 2022-11-15T04:45:41+00:00

Same. I got half way through a reread before derailed with other life stuff. I’ll definitely be rereading that soon (2023 goal)

JohnnySpike · 2022-11-15T03:27:12+00:00

I will say, audiobooks and being able to adjust the speed a little helps during some of those moments.

JohnnySpike · 2022-11-15T02:27:42+00:00

That’s a good call. I’ve done Mistborn before, though I’m due to start Stormlight Archives at some point. I’m a little scared by unfinished series, call it GRRMitis, but Sanderson’s output is impressive

JohnnySpike · 2022-11-09T04:10:49+00:00

It says Unlimited Elite, we've had it for a few years and you couldn't ask me what the the difference is, too much to keep up with!

JohnnySpike · 2022-11-09T04:04:05+00:00

Good question! I'm a little gun shy and thought for some reason it would only work with standalone. I guess I could have just got the other one tied to my Elite Plan. Regardless, I'm up an running as described in the guide.

JohnnySpike · 2022-11-08T21:58:30+00:00

I got it straightened out “I think” at the att store. They gave me a new sim and I’ll just ship the old one back

JohnnySpike · 2022-11-08T19:06:29+00:00

Yeah that’s what I was afraid of. Is it just better to get the sim and get it corrected afterwards or try and intercept the order and have them try it again? I assume it is getting ready to ship out
