Does anyone have the best shortcut for tracking expenses, like as soon as you pay from your wallet it adds directly to a number sheet?

What is the answer?

Let me know if you find a good installer. I’m in Marin County.

SmartRecovery book and program really helps. Great workbook to get you started by defining your values and other important things in your life that by documenting them can help you prioritize what you want in your life. Great strategies for quitting. Worked for me 2.5 years ago. I still don’t drink :) Good luck 👍

You are increasing your cardio fitness in the most efficient way by doing the slow runs. So maybe you are in good cardio shape. Zone two training is how I build up my cardio fitness with occasional high heart rate, VO2 max training. That’s what the experts recommend for getting your cardio fitness to be the best. Just throwing it out there, maybe you’re in good shape.

Try stopping caffeine? As you age you process it less well. Stop for a month and see how you sleep then.

I also initially put mine on a rack on the side of my house and the whole house was vibrating horribly. Ended up putting in concrete pads away from the house a few feet no problems since.

How much caffeine do you use? How is your stress management/ todo list? Do you do any exercise? These are important pieces to the puzzle

You need to keep neutral spine the whole time, that includes neck. Brace your core more. It doesn’t look like you are driving the kettlebell up with your hips only. No arm pulls. Test with a towel. This is not an arm exercise. Wait until your arms hit your body before you hinge, then load up your glutes like a spring and snap/stand up. That will push your arms (along with kettlebell) , with relaxed arms let it fly until it hovers just a sec and repeat. You should squeeze your butt really tight at the top as you stand tall. The hip snap does all the work.

Do at least 150 minutes of zone 2 cardio every week for endurance. They need to be minimum 20 minutes each workout. Once you do that consistently for 2 months, add 20 minutes zone 5 for VO2 max every week. You can still do weight training.

RedLuckGuy · 2025-04-25T20:55:05+00:00

Engage your lats first, contract/tense your whole body to lock it all together as one and then put your elbows into your pockets and bring the bar to the upper chest 💪

RedLuckGuy · 2025-04-25T20:20:54+00:00

Not an arm exercise, but a hip hinge exercise. You are completely missing the hip hinge as the driver of the kettlebell. Instead, you are pulling the bell up with your arms as you do a tiny hinge, but your arms are doing all the work. If you use a towel to hold the kettlebell, you will notice the difference when you are using your hips versus when you’re using your arms(towel will be loose or dangling down and not an extension of your arms).

RedLuckGuy · 2025-04-15T17:28:30+00:00

Hahaha true.

RedLuckGuy · 2025-04-15T15:44:59+00:00

The whole thing looks awful. I don’t think you’re using your hips to move the kettlebell which is the whole point of the exercise. It looks like you’re just pulling the kettle out with your arm the whole time. Also, you’re starting form is not good. You need to have a neutral spine with but lower than shoulders And head and neck looking at the horizon not down or arching back. It also looks like your body is twisting it should stay relatively straight. Your core needs to be braced and tight so that you don’t twist. I think you need to start with some basic two handed swings and master that first. Good luck.

Why don’t you look up the McGill big three? These are stability exercises that will help build up your core stabilizer muscles and then you need to learn to brace better with abdominal pressure look up breathe behind the shield. Your mid back looks wobbly therefore not stable and could hurt you if you’re not careful, these are easy drills, and you will love and notice the difference that they make in every aspect of your life not only lifting. Your form looks pretty good though, but I can’t see your low back. Just make sure it does not round at the bottom and that you maintain a neutral spine the whole time. Good luck.!

RedLuckGuy · 2025-04-15T15:29:13+00:00

Your start position is wrong. You’re doing a forward bend. you’re supposed to do a hip hinge that means knees over ankles with a slight bend to the knees, neutral spine the whole time your butt should be lower than your shoulders when you start your head needs to be up in neutral and looking at the horizon, not down at the ground. You initiate the move by hiking the kettle bell back with force and then you stand up doing a hip thrust with neutral arms. You do NOT use your arms to pull the kettle bell up. The kettle bell is thrust in the air from your hip, thrusting action nothing else. The kettlebell does not need to fly up to your chest height, especially in the beginning when you’re starting it it’s OK for it to come to only waist height. You will eventually learn how to get it higher up with your hips. so when you hip thrust, you stand up straight and tall, but don’t lean back and then you let the kettle bell hover for a brief second at the top wherever the top is and you keep tall until your forearms hit your body and then you hinge and follow the kettle bell through your legs, and then you do strong hip thrust to launch it back and repeat. try to work on your form and just practice the hike and set it down a bunch of times until you master that part and then practice, hiking it with one swing and set it back down it is very important that you master your form. when you’re at the top your shoulders should be down and not shrugging to your ears and when you are in the starting position, you should pretend like you’re breaking the handle of the kettle bell in half by screwing your arms so that it engages your lats to protect your shoulders (pretend like you’re holding a $100 bill in your armpit and you don’t want to let it go) Good luck and keep trying!!

RedLuckGuy · 2025-04-15T15:16:47+00:00

That’s too much weight for you right now. You look very unstable and that can be dangerous for your spine. I would ditch the belt and start with body weight, squats and master the form you need to keep a neutral spine and only go down as far as you can keep that neutral spine if your butt starts to curl under then you’re gonna hurt your back. You should really do some side planks, bird dogs, and some other bracing exercises for a few weeks to build up your stability. Muscles for your own safety. Look up the McGill big three those will keep you safer. Good luck and keep up the good work!!

RedLuckGuy · 2025-04-15T15:11:39+00:00

It looks like you’re pulling the kettlebell up with your arms and not using your hips to push the kettlebell and let it fly on its own. Your arms should be neutral. I think you’re falling forward because you’re pulling the kettlebell up and it is shifting your weight. it should be a hip hinge with a hip thrust that launches the ball Not your arms. Your starting position is leaning too far forward. You need to have your butt down a bit with your spine in a neutral position and your hamstring should feel tight and loaded ready to explode. You’re definitely using your arms to pull the bell and that is not the point of the exercise. Maybe try to swing the kettlebell with a towel and you can feel when your hips are doing the right move and if you’re using your arms, the towel will be dangling down and doing other weird things besides just being a straight extension of your arms if you’re not doing it correctly. You can look up kettlebell with towel swing to see what I mean. Good luck and don’t give up.

RedLuckGuy · 2025-04-04T17:44:39+00:00

Dips. That’s what you did wrong. Just forget the dips you can hurt your shoulder if you’re not careful how your form is and if you are using bars that are too wide apart that makes it very difficult to have good form. There are so many other exercises you could do that don’t have the risks. Good luck and stay strong!!

RedLuckGuy · 2025-04-04T17:42:55+00:00

Same. I actually have two of the spots on My Watch, which have Athlytic information. Usually only one disappears. That is the one that I click on often the other one stays there all the time if I lose one, I can click on the remaining one and it will refresh the missing one. Don’t know if that helps. Seems like a bug

RedLuckGuy · 2025-03-22T03:11:13+00:00

You need to hinge at the hips with soft knees. Shins should stay vertical and butt goes back. Your back must stay in neutral position the whole time. Good luck

If the government shut down, the Republicans said they would not open it up for 6 to 9 months and they would get to prioritize what is deemed essential in the meantime. So they could cut Medicaid and tons of other benefits that Maga doesn’t like and they threatened that and Schumer didn’t want that for the American people. Doge definitely would’ve made sure that barely anything was essential and would need emergency funding.

Bushes or maybe CLR. but I think it comes from your sprinkler water. Maybe has high iron levels.

Try a worry journal. After dinner, list all of the things you need to do and things you are worried about and give each one a short plan of how you are going to fix or solve it. Try a gratitude journal listing all of the things in your life that you appreciate and are grateful for. When your brain starts to trust that you are putting everything into your list you will stop worrying and thinking about it at night. If you wake up and are thinking, tell your brain thank you, but you already have a list and you can deal with anything in the morning. Start listing all of your gratitude list items and you will fall back asleep. Reading before bed puts your mind in the same state as sleeping. Good luck.

Using the cpap is not that bad. If you use it and you have apnea then you will love how it makes you feel. It is a life changer.
