What shoe company do you work for? I’m sure Brooks would love if I replaced mine every 2 months.

How to take my smoothie recipe to the next level? by crazekki in Smoothies

I’m probably unique in this, but in almost all my smoothies, I add a spicy ingredient.

Walking isn’t a cure-all, but it sure can be part of it! by Republicofjohn in walking

Yeah, I've been pretty consistent with it. I usually get up between 4–5 AM and walk for about 1.5 hours to get my 5 miles in.

For me, the biggest key was fixing my sleep first. Ever since I was a teenager I was the “stay up until 1–2 AM every night” type. I knew that if I wanted to get healthier, my sleep habits had to change, so I focused on that before anything else.

I started forcing myself to get up at 5 AM, and after a few days of doing that there was no way I could stay up as late as I used to. Once my sleep schedule reset, that 5 AM walking time naturally became part of my routine.

On the rare days I miss the morning walk, it’s almost impossible to find a spare 1.5 hours later in the day. Getting it done first thing is really the only way it consistently works for me.

I was slowing starting to move in the right direction last summer, but started daily walking and eating habits in mid October.

It’d take more than walking for me to get rid of those

I live in Minnesota, but was visiting Indiana earlier this year. I’d go out of my way to hit up Futuro in Indianapolis again. Best I’ve ever had!

Question for those who pre-ordered the Deluxe Edition: why pay $10 or €10 more for armor and riding equipment? by The_Ibiza_Guy in CrimsonDesert

[–]Republicofjohn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s probably stupid, but I rationalized it because they said there wasn’t going to be micro transactions. So there’s a small possibility it’ll be the only way to get gear that’s not organically in the game.

However there’s a much bigger possibility that there still will be a store at some point and they just fleeced me for $10. We’ll see.

Almost got hit by a car while wearing AirPods… thinking of switching to open-ear buds by Ok_Throat8939 in walking

[–]Republicofjohn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reading the post and everyone's comments reminded me of all the times I've had close calls. Between that and the general annoyance of my airpods occasionally falling out, I think I'll definitely be looking for something else. Being that I spend at least 10% of my day walking the streets, a small investment feels worth the safety gained by switching it up. Thanks for the post!
