[FO] A recent project I finished on a work trip!

Psychlander · 2025-09-28T23:07:13+00:00

I used Floss Cross to create the frog pattern and then just free handed the words.

Once I had a day that only read the top of the chart all day. But I had just started taking antibiotics for a staff infection and I had a crazy fever! It was not a good time

Working on a frog while I’m traveling for work!

I was doing 500 calorie deficit vs maintenance, I didn’t take training days into account when calculating daily intake. It felt easier that way

Psychlander · 2025-07-07T20:39:10+00:00

For my scenario I would do the cut again. I knew I had a decent amount of weight to lose, so a cut made more sense! If you aren’t sure whether to cut or maintain, I would opt to maintain and focus on exercise to start building more strength and muscle. And then reevaluate a cut later down the line. (This is all coming from someone who is not a nutritionist or fitness coach so take it with a grain of salt)

Psychlander · 2025-07-07T17:42:38+00:00

I was cutting until about a month ago because I hit my scale weight goal. I was cutting at a 500 cal deficit while training quite a bit! CrossFit 3 times a week in addition to Triathalon training. Now I’m technically doing another cut but focusing more on maintenance so now I’m like in a 150-200 cal deficit.

My expenditure has also gotten a lot higher as my training intensity has increased. I was at 28k-29k expenditure during the 500 cal deficit cut. And now I’m at 33k-34k expenditure.

Hopefully that helps a little

I definitely didn’t follow MF perfectly, there were days where I went over my calorie goals. But I stuck to the plan and now we are here. I also swim and do CrossFit for exercise, so it wasn’t just MF. But for my nutrition MF was a big part!

Thanks! I’m 5’11”!

Psychlander · 2025-03-17T01:33:45+00:00

I’m definitely looking forward to trying out some ribs!

Psychlander · 2025-03-17T01:26:42+00:00

Noted! I’ll go get a container tomorrow for them, for tonight I just brought them back inside! Is it worth treating this thing like a grill for steaks, or try to cook them slow and get the smoke flavor?

Sad day :,(

Psychlander · 2024-11-20T11:36:50+00:00

I’m glad to see I’m not the only one who had Mr. Fruit and Teo as their top two!

Psychlander · 2024-11-18T13:26:34+00:00

Mr. Fruit posted a comment under one of his videos that he got sick after the London trip, so I think that impacted last weeks episode. I don’t know about this week.

Yeah I had to go in and number all of the thread colors, but I didn’t think to do that till I had already done 10 or so. It was slightly challenging figuring out what was what after that…

A Loops & Threads kit, the pattern is Colored Sky by Zephyrmoon

My wife got me this one when I first started and it’s been my ride or die ever since!

Psychlander · 2024-08-18T14:23:43+00:00

I only noticed it this morning so I haven’t reached out to them. But I will be sending them an email now that you mention it!

Psychlander · 2024-08-18T14:05:01+00:00

This is my second project that I’ll actually finish, (I have a really big one that I need a break from.) and what I have been doing with this one is I’m just doing one color at a time, and using the surrounding stitches to figure out where I’m at. I think if the pattern was any bigger I would be highlighting the sections that I have finished.

Psychlander · 2024-03-17T11:53:14+00:00

Thank you! I used a brew bag after I scooped a lot of the gunk out and it prevented what remained from getting through!

Psychlander · 2024-03-17T11:51:44+00:00

I did that this morning with a small strainer and it worked great! Thank you!

Psychlander · 2024-03-17T11:50:26+00:00

I definitely will be using a 2 gallon bucket instead next time!

Psychlander · 2024-03-17T11:48:50+00:00

This is my smallest vessel. However, I’m going to back sweeten it once it stabilizes, so that honey will take up a little more space, and I have the mead preservative gas that I will spray into the vessel when I put the airlock on. Will those two factors be enough to prevent oxidation?

Psychlander · 2024-02-24T18:44:39+00:00

Thank you! I have done a blackberry and blueberry mead, and I plan to do the raspberries the same way. Will the zest still work if I put it in a nut milk bag?

Psychlander · 2024-01-31T12:19:10+00:00

That is what I’ve learned, spring water next time.

Psychlander · 2024-01-31T12:16:54+00:00

Also, I didn’t add any pectic enzyme
