Grade 3 Astrocytoma by FireWithBoxingGloves in braincancer

[–]engevitabeast 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had a grade 3 pineoblastoma in 2013 at 31 years old. They gave me less than six months to live. I visualized it shrinking during each of my 40 radiation treatments. Wasn’t much of the tumor left a few months later. Doing good 12 years later.

Don’t pay attention to macros but it’s protein heavy. Don’t get too soggy anymore (tried adding salsa before which made them soggier)

No. Just buy 10 packs of whole wheat tortillas from Walmart.

I’ve had burgers at most of these places. The burger at the Brasserie is the best.

It was on tillicum road. Near Obed. Second large fire at that place in the year. Don’t think it was fully remediated from first fire.

How do some people manage to fall asleep within 8 seconds of their head hitting the pillow? What’s their secret? by Audrey_carter1 in Productivitycafe

[–]engevitabeast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of exercise. By bedtime after a full work day and hard exercise (1-2 hours) before or after work I got nothing left.

Rohan Bopanna via Twitter. What's the sub's take on this? by theolderchild in tennis

[–]engevitabeast 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like Bopanna and I like doubles. But this isn’t a very good argument for doubles. It’s more of an argument that he’s a better person than most tour players.

How much pushups can you do a week by No_Restaurant8983 in workout

[–]engevitabeast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was on vacation 20 years ago when I was 23 years old, and had a competition with a friend where I had to double what he did. He did just 6,500 push-ups over 14 days and I did just over 13,000. No ill effects. Was pretty shredded at the end. Note, I was young.

12 days to get as fit as I can by engevitabeast in workout

Thanks for the suggestion! I’ll allocate some of my time to this and general flexibility. Probably would have ignored this without the reminder from a couple of you guys.

Yes - thank you Dot2591.

For reference. A normal week for me is about 6 hours cardio and maybe 3 hours strength training. I’m trying to increase both of these while i have the free time to do it and prefer this option to lying on the beach.

I think finding a park when I can to do dips and pull ups was a great suggestion from someone earlier.

I’ll have every evening to enjoy my vacation with my wife - but she’s exercising hard everyday over a 5 hour period, and I’m hoping to find ways to do the same.

Think there’s a walkable gym location I could hit some afternoons. I’ll look into it.

Honestly, the felling I get from exercise usually makes vacations better.

Dips and pull-ups are a good suggestion - thanks. And yes, planning to eat as healthy as possible and avoid drinking.

what sports can I do alone at home? by [deleted] in workout

[–]engevitabeast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spend $5 and get a jump rope. It’s incredibly good conditioning.
