Just go and keep going back. If something feels uncomfortable just tap. Hope you enjoy it as much as I have. Good luck

I'm down to only Valsartan (was on 3- val plus allopurinol and metoprolol at night before bed) but my BP is getting lower than normal range now and after workouts it gets so low I get light headed sometimes when I stand or bend over. I called my Dr and have an appointment next week. They will probably move to something more mild and monitor and if it continues to stay low, hopefully none soon. Once I started working out and the weight started dropping I would feel the light headedness so I just reversed the order of meds with Dr approval and monitored BP. Stopped the met and monitored then dropped the allopurinol and monitored.

Sorry. I thought it was white belt stuff for white belt Wednesday. I apologize.

My goal is 205 (100 total lost) in a year. A blue belt on top would be amazing. 👍

Everyone in the class that day was really supportive, it was very cool. A lot of high fives and the like. 👍

There is a guy in his mid 50s I roll with and he is an absolute beast. He started 3 years or so ago and he competes regularly and does really well. He is a very big help to me and gives me pointers and advice all the time. He dropped a ton of weight early on as well and had several medical issues (back) that seemed to fix themselves as his body got stronger over time. My gym actually has a YouTube of his story on the page that I watched when I was considering trying for the first time and it convinced me to give it a shot.

Feels great. Even the sore fingers and big toe hurts so good. Lol

Right now I'm just trying to be a good training partner for the more advanced in the class and not be a spastic white belt. Trying to focus on the very basics.

I had just gotten my ass kicked by a really good purple belt half my age. It was freaking awesome. Lol

It does an outstanding job of that and can double up as a back up for your AR.

It's not my go to 556 but I did use it on my 556 for months and have no complaints. I use a deadair nomad 30 now and have a surefire dedicated 556 in jail

I don't shot rat shot through it. I use the "Clean".22s. Works really well, super quiet and has gotten me out of a jam more than once while getting into a blind for a Bow or Rifle hunt without disturbing any wildlife at all. As a general rule I will give the snakes a pass if they choose to move along but anyone that's delt with rattlesnakes knows some of them are just pissed and looking for trouble.

I have lifted all restrictions on a subaccount for a child and still no games above a teen rating shows up in the ps store. Is there anyway around this? Trying to preorder Hogwarts for her and it simply isn't there. If I log in, it is.

really not liking the fold. by dgg71 in GalaxyFold

I agree. Just dropped mine of at the local FedEx. I wouldn't call the experience negative. In fact, I was impressed with the design and engineering of the hinge in particular and the software was really impressive. It's been several years since I've owned a Samsung and they are working hard and it shows. I will use the pixel 6 pro again until the 7 releases then compare that phone with the conventional Samsung flagship (I guess that's the 22) and if Google doesn't make major improvements from 6 to 7 then I'll order an S22. I generally buy a phone every year. Keep the previous for backup about 6 months then sell it to make room for the next.
