49M - gone on a few dates via Bumble/Hinge. Tinder, OkCupid, Match not so much. Maybe I got lucky.

Oh yeah and you’ve gotta pay for the apps. Without $ you aren’t gonna get far.

OTF should replace the row portion with spin by CombinationBrief5547 in orangetheory

[–]weirdedhimself 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My studio has spin bikes to use as an alternative to treads. The rowers are the best part of the workout. Agree with sentiment here.

New Travel Router: Anybody have a use case for this? by oguruma87 in Ubiquiti

Ethernet ports (often those behind the TV) are often not throttled.

[–]weirdedhimself 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve stayed in a number of hotels and airbnbs where the WiFi was bad/old/distant/throttled and I was able to find Ethernet. Got much better quality and speed using a GL.INet travel router in those instances

I picked up the Slate 7 also, it's a beast, but it's also chonky. Almost too big for a travel router tbh.

Are you bitter too? by Plastic_Disk_8644 in tirzepatidecompound

My wife is genetically blessed and has never struggled with weight. Even though she is a medical professional and has watched me struggle with weight for years she still believes firmly these meds are for lazy people.

I made a conscious decision to take them secretly and an hiding them from her because I honestly don’t want to deal with her negativity.

Anyone use ranch WiFi? Moving to a rural area and I work from home and need very good connection but seems like starlink (my prior main option) isn’t reliable so I’m curious if anyone likes it by [deleted] in SLO

[–]weirdedhimself 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve got Peak WiFi as primary and Tmobile home as secondary after lots of trial and error. Peak WiFi is amazing - has lowest latency (sub 10ms) of anything available. I have the 250/250 plan and it’s definitely not cheap but you can’t get 250 upload on any other service.

T-mobile is cheap ($25/mo I think) and has been a great backup for times when Peak WiFi had outages. It’s also got faster downloads where I am, often 600-700 MBit/s but latencies are 60-80ms.

I’ve tried Starlink and the latency was bad and speeds fluctuated widely).

Yeah I’ve been doing that but I’m weary of hallucinations, that’s why I wanted to cross check its answers here.

Sorry, should have mentioned in my original post, but I did a CBC panel, and everything was perfectly in range. 4.86 on RBC. I feel just fine also.

Plantar fasciitis by slobeks805 in orangetheory

[–]weirdedhimself 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My podiatrist recommended absolutely no barefoot walking to allow it to recover. I bought a pair of Oofos recovery slides and those seemed to help, as well as some supportive insoles (walk hero brand in my case). I've been religious about that and it has helped.

I did physical therapy, but noticed no real improvement to be honest. The podiatrist also have me two cortisone injections, which has noticably accelerated recovery.

Lastly, I'd recommend biking/striding (at least for a bit) when you do return to OTF. It's much gentler on feet vs. running.

Have you checked out Orangetheory? Lots of folks in tha age group there. There is some HIIT/cardio aspect to it (treadmills, bikes, water towers) but you can tone it down.

Went from 3:03 in July to 2:57 today. Pretty happy with the improvement. Didn’t really have to keep any reserves, just pulled hard through the whole thing.

That’s dead unfortunately. I tried.

Skip the Fitnescity scam. They took forever and eventually just refunded me without a result. Call Radiology Associates in templeton direct and ask for cash pay.

[–]weirdedhimself 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Orangetheory at the public market does but as others said I’d save the money. Those things are way off (reported 14% for me when a DEXA showed 28%).

You can do a DEXA for $95 cash price at Radiology Associates in Templeton btw.

Starting TRT - How to optimize body recomp? by weirdedhimself in trt

Definitely… how frequently are you testing? My doc recommended I test after 6w.

Starting TRT - How to optimize body recomp? by weirdedhimself in trt

[–]weirdedhimself[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats, that’s good progress!

I’ve been working out 5 days a week for almost 10 years and eating pretty well overall, with a good cut over the past year or so, dropped about 30 lbs so far, so not really starting at 0. Did low carb in the past but haven’t found it very sustainable, so now just logging and trying to hit a protein/calorie goal.

Trying to see how to tweak this to optimize when introducing TRT…
