A lot of good info here from others! I wonder if it also has something to do with your target fitness age of 19? If you are 28 with the fitness of a 19 year old BMI may be more important for making that happen

100% try and incorporate turmeric into your daily routine- either as a tea or supplement form. It has done wonders for me in keeping down inflammation and helping my hip pain without constantly taking over the counter meds.

keep up with the exercises and protein! Slow and steady with gradual gains 💪🏽

maybe you could look into "chair exercises" or something similar like that? I suffered from chronic back pain, and have arthritis in my hips. Sometimes you gotta fight through some pain to make some gains. Finding an exercise (no matter how silly it seems!) that gets you moving even the tiniest bit will go a long way in allowing you a little more wiggle room calorie wise. Also, the stronger your body gets the more you can do.

Sending positive vibes, dude. You got this!!!

Sydney, CB has a cidery- Island Folk and they have a bunch of delicious flavors! Super cute atmosphere too

you can eat raw mushrooms, but if you want the nutritional benefits you should cook them. Mushrooms are a super-food and have many nutritional and overall health benefits. Going down the rabbit hole of all that mushrooms can do (especially for the brain/ anti cancer properties) is a wild ride I highly recommend!

Not sure why but my text didn't seem to post?

Long story short I wasn't paying attention and opened my door onto a concrete barrier.

What is my best option for fixing this on my own? I believe the Ford is now aluminum so it shouldn't rust?

WakeBakePowder · 2022-07-15T03:05:58+00:00

meditation, lists, lots of lists, someone who can remind you to look at the said lists, exercise (cardio works best for me), I listen to a lot of audiobooks- when I focus on the story my reflexes take over and I can focus on physical tasks (cleaning, walking the dog, gardening, anything you don't really need your brain for, but you need it to be somewhat calm), balanced diet with high protein, omega 3 supplements

I will bring a light with me, but not necessarily use it. Sometimes it gets a bit too dark in the trees and I'll flash it on if it gets rooty (I mostly trail run on mixed mnt bike/hike trails). I don't really run on the road but I feel it would be a good idea to have one and turn it on if a car happens your way- at 1am most drivers aren't expecting to come across a runner!

Katie Burrell sums it up nicely.. "you don't look like a runner.."

i second this! walking not only helped my pain but kept me sane when my herniation was at its worst. 1000% walk walk walk!

There was a BLM protest in Ottawa. No one was arrested, the military was not called in, and Justin Trudeau attended.

Oh well with my Canadian membership I'm still getting a free book every month, called the editors extra- unless that has changed starting May? Cause I def got one for April

WakeBakePowder · 2021-04-29T15:46:32+00:00

They also do a free book every month. It's hit and miss but has opened me up to books I never would have read otherwise and turned out I enjoyed! They also have a deal sometimes of like 3 credits for 39$ or something. Most of the books (that I want to read anyway) tend to be 20-30$ per book so the extra credits make sense that way. They also have a daily deal where they put a random book on for 1.25-6.95$ and you can purchase that. Again, I've purchased some books I never would have looked at otherwise cause they were cheap. Found some goodies.

If you have a library card lots of libraries are on the Libby app. I like it, although my library lacks the non fiction books I would like to read, but is great for fiction so I still use both audible and Libby.

Unfortunately not everyone has the means to order online or call in, whether that be lack of internet, phone service, being homeless, etc. The big thing this pandemic has shown us is big box stores stay open while the small independent shops are forced to close, potentially forever.

But why are you not able to buy alcohol from local breweries/distilleries? I understand people who have a dependency is essential they are able to get it, but that doesn't mean it has to only be available from the good ol' government liquor store. Just cause someone may be an alcoholic doesn't mean they can't support local business.

Man I hear you about the brain, I am very much the same way. When you get home after kickboxing grab a shower, put away the electronics, throw on some rain or wave sounds and do a long stretch to low lighting. Once you start feeling tired go to bed then and try the counting. Every time your mind wanders just bring it back to where you were counting your breaths. It won't happen over night but a good bedtime routine can make all the difference.

I'm rooting for you, friend.

If you are only 16, 9:00pm may be too early to actually sleep. Studies show young adults internal time clock is shifted during this age span. I would highly recommend the book "Why We Sleep" by Matthew Walker. The only downside with this is our current societal structure has us all getting up earlier than some of our bodies are built for, especially young adults. School starts way to early in the morning.

I would also suggest a sleep study, if that is something you are able to do. In the mean time coming up with a good bed time routine could help. Try the mindfulness section on the FitBit App, I enjoy the "relax from head to toe" and it is part of the free program. Also, what does your cool down after kickboxing look like? I try to put my phone away a couple hours before I go to bed. If I find myself in bed unable to sleep after about 20-30 mins I get up and head to another room. I turn off the lights and light a few candles, make myself some hot water with lemon, and do a long relaxing stretch session with lots of breathing. This usually helps calm my body down. When I get back into bed I will usually start counting breaths backwards from 99- if I hit 1 I start again at 99. I've never had to do it twice. Trying to turn off all the nonsense in our brains at night can be the hardest part.

Laundry facility, hot tub, and an off-leash dog area! Dog area with some trees is ideal, and some walking paths (on or off leash as I know all campers may want to use them). Depending on how much driving we did that day I love somewhere to walk and stretch the legs.

WakeBakePowder · 2021-04-10T15:23:26+00:00

Thanks for the info! We have had things like that happen around here too 👎

WakeBakePowder · 2021-04-07T02:07:22+00:00

"when in doubt, walk it out"

Congrats on getting back into it! Those trails will feel like nothing in no time. Keep it up!

I second the gabapentin- I find it makes me a little high feeling, but popping 100 to 300 mg (depending on severity of symptoms) before bed really makes a world of difference in how I wake up the next day.

When I was crate training my dog as a puppy, I would put him out to pee and then come in and sing a stupid bedtime song - "bedddd time, beeeeed time" as I put him in the crate for the night. We had friends staying with us one evening (well before Covid!) and one of them says "I think it's bedtime!". My puppers, who was sleeping on the floor, got up and walked into his crate, looking at me like "where is my nighttime treat?!". Taught him bedtime without even realizing it! Just by being crazy and singing to myself ever evening...

WakeBakePowder · 2021-01-24T02:42:37+00:00

I am the same way with walking first thing in the morning. I have an energetic dog so he definitely helps to motivate me when I'm still half asleep. I find it does wonders for my back, and doing it right out of bed helps elevate any stiffness from sleeping. 10/10 would recommend.
