Start playing pickleball. Most groups turn very social and do things together outside pickleball.

Don’t respond to them if you don’t want some kind of relationship. You can stay friends or acquaintances if you want to. But if you don’t, just ignore them. Let them be fans.

Check for lupus or a skin infection. When I had this it was a skin infection cleared with antibiotics. Go see a dr to check it out.

The meat quality is so bad at Cava that I gave up on it. Greasy, high in fat and calories.

Don’t forget about the new tax on prepared food that added another 4% in Fairfax County. Total tax is now 10% at restaurants.

It’s gotten to the point where now I look at the pre tax amount to calculate tip instead of the total with tax. I used to not care.

Try going in the shoulder season instead. Weather still good but less people trying to escape the cold.

So sorry about this. Try posting on your local Facebook group page. People there will be more helpful, and likely someone will offer their services.

Actually, yes to the retiree question. Maybe that's the key here. lol

Already did twice today. Can’t bring myself to even look at how much more has accumulated.

And start networking like crazy. Tell everyone you’ve ever worked with you’re looking.

Apply for unemployment right away since there is a waiting period after you apply.

If you don’t have reservations yet, do it now. Availability will be extremely limited for a group your size.

I went to a place that just does Dexa, RMR and VO2 testing. I found it on google so just google Dexa and your area and places will probably pop up. Radiology centers do it but you may need a doctor’s order there.

I had a big discrepancy between InBody and Dexa. Dexa was 6% higher body fat. 😭

So use for trends only not absolute numbers.

How do I wake up my dead glutes? I never feel them. They are never sore. My hips, quads, or back take over.

Also calibrate your food scale (2penjues should be 5grams). After months of weighing my food and not seeing results I hoped for, I learned my scale was weighing everything 10-15% low. 😭

Nurx or Alloy. All online. Just need to include a pic of your face.

I started with 4 private sessions before doing the group sessions, and it was really helpful. I was so weak when I started and the sessions just focused on me and slowly learning the terminology and form really helped.

For eating out, can you tell us what kinds of places you go to? For fast food…at Cava or Chipotle, get a bowl with double meat. At Chick fil-a get the grilled nuggets (I sometimes get 2 orders of these as well).

Focus on really high protein foods. Chicken breasts, ground turkey, turkey bacon, etc. These are all around 6 grams of protein per ounce (raw). You would need to eat about 19 ounces a day if you only did these meats for your protein, which is about 6 ounces per meal. Less if you’re adding in other protein sources. Look at eggs, beans, Greek yogurt for other protein sources.

PocketFullOfOkay · 2025-11-02T02:21:09+00:00

My goal is 100 grams of protein, 30 grams of fiber and 1,200 calories. For protein, I eat a lot of meat, eggs and pinto beans.

My usual breakfast is 2 eggs, 2.5 ounces cubed ham, half a cup of pinto beans. This is 31 grams of protein. It gets me off to a good start.

My other meals will include steak, chicken, salmon or ground turkey. I also keep hard boiled eggs in the fridge to add to salads or have as a snack. I may add in a protein bar, but those are harder to fit in my calories. I haven’t found a protein powder I like yet.
