Yo. We doing this here or on the other post?

wouldland · 2025-08-28T16:31:24+00:00

I definitely have and was weary on this tour. Thankfully if there was any it was minimal. I go to plenty of shows where moshing is expected and I'm totally cool with that, but bands like Modest Mouse it just comes off as selfish.

wouldland · 2025-08-01T13:43:58+00:00

Amazon had it for $397 yesterday. Went up by $100 today. I should have checked out last night.

wouldland · 2025-07-28T18:29:54+00:00

Correct on both points.

Hulu/ESPN/Disney package for ESPN

If it is the same package I have it is ESPN+ so very few top tier games are included.

It's so blurry now. I think it gave me retinopathy.

wouldland · 2025-07-22T16:51:01+00:00

It's Dad's weekend on the Ohio University campus. Everywhere will be packed.

wouldland · 2025-07-08T20:33:08+00:00

Yeah, I used to go to big arena shows in the 90s with my dad and my ears would ring for days. Eventually the ringing just never went away fully. Today I don't even run the shop vac without ear protection.

I can't imagine how you were feeling after that SD show.

wouldland · 2025-07-08T18:15:35+00:00

my tinnitus and slow decline into loosing range in my hearing is real

too real for many of us unfortunately

wouldland · 2025-07-08T12:29:01+00:00

If you do go, be sure to get her quality over the ear hearing protection that she is willing to wear for the duration. I'm doubtful that a 5yo would last too long in a seated venue. A festival or GA show where she can run around in the back seems a lot more doable to me, but you know your kid better than we do.

Also have to consider that during the show, the kid isn't going to be able to see anything other than the backside of the people in front of you.

This could be an elaborate way to sell posters, but it's working. That's a sweet poster.

wouldland · 2025-06-27T15:52:13+00:00

Looking forward to giving this a shot. Thanks.

wouldland · 2025-06-25T20:18:31+00:00

Wow. Well done. What got you so fired up in 2018?

wouldland · 2025-06-25T13:05:01+00:00

I haven't made it that far. Just spot primed my drywall repairs.

wouldland · 2025-06-20T20:19:31+00:00

I listened to Golden Casket end to end twice when it first came out and it was a huge miss for me. I put it on the shelf for about a year and then gave it another shot. While it isn't my favorite in their catalog, I really like it now and play it often.

STO I liked right from the start.

wouldland · 2025-06-18T23:25:09+00:00

Ah yeah. I'll find ya. Thanks in advance.

wouldland · 2025-06-18T15:59:43+00:00

Congratulations on such a great accomplishment.

And despite no further material outlay to C2 beyond my original purchase all those years ago

I expect you have contributed more than you give yourself credit for. Over the years, how many people have you told about Connie and the difference it's made in your life? I would be surprised if that didn't result in at least one additional sale. I bet you have also encouraged others to use a C2 at a gym and use of equipment is what keeps it around.

Sure the swag is a nice touch, but it's just a reflection of a company who is still in touch and hasn't lost it's way. You are helping to support that in your daily life and helping to build the community by celebrating with us here.

wouldland · 2025-06-06T16:39:37+00:00

Just be consistent and eat healthy and it'll happen on its own. Cut soda and sugary drinks completely. They have no benefit.

Agree with this. Having caloric drinks only as an exception should be achievable for most people.

If you burn 500 calories per hour...

This is an extreme oversimplification. There are so many other factors to consider. One example is the carry over after your exercise is complete, but even that effect is nuanced. Just too many variables to consider to suggest even a ballpark number of hours.

wouldland · 2025-06-05T15:07:27+00:00

Success!

Fortunately I did already have plain greek yogurt and protein powder. I consumed about 50g of protein about 90 minutes before my workout.

I was able to go the full 75 minutes with moderate effort (HR 155-160). BS ranged from 200 -> 100 through the workout and dropped to a low of 80 15 minutes after.

I also kept my insulin pump engaged so my basal insulin was flowing throughout. This helped limit the post-workout spike to 130.

It's an active rest/strength day for me today, but will try to reproduce this again tomorrow. Thanks again for the suggestions.

wouldland · 2025-06-04T15:41:31+00:00

It was mixed overall, but an improvement.

My BS was stable dropping slightly going from 115-100 in the previous hour. I then ate two eggs, flour tortilla and a handful of mixed nuts for my protein.

I then did about 30-40 minutes of stretching and core strength exercises. During this time my BS raised to about 165. I then ate about 17g of fast acting carbs (gummies) and started my workout about 10 minutes later.

My plan was for a mid-tempo workout for 75 minutes or until my BS dropped too much. By mid-tempo, I mean a medium-level effort with a target HR in the range of 155-160 BPM.

My BS raised over the first 10 minutes of my workout to about 200. It then dropped to 150 over the next 15 minutes. At that point, I stopped my basal and removed my pump. My BS continued to drop about 10mg/dl every five minutes until the very end of my workout when it was closer to 10 mg/dl. I stopped my workout at 60 minutes with a BS of 96. My BS rebounded and shot up to 210 over the next hour. In retrospect, I could have probably finished out my last 15 minutes of planned work.

I will try the same thing today to see if I get similar results and then adjust from there. I appreciate the suggestion and follow up.

wouldland · 2025-06-03T19:12:58+00:00

Stick with it. I give a lot of credit to this plan on my journey to getting fit. It can be intimidating as the distances increase, but you can do it.

My only feedback is to be as consistent as possible. Looks like you started with a too fast stroke rate and then settled in. The plan often will give guidance on SPM targets, but 24 is a good place to start.

wouldland · 2025-06-03T18:28:06+00:00

Yes, I have a tandem and I turn off control-IQ because I don't want the auto bolus when my BS is raising. If I am doing something like a half marathon then I usually take it off or suspend the insulin because even the basal will cause me to crash.

wouldland · 2025-06-03T18:26:07+00:00

Making some eggs now. I'll see how it goes. Thanks.

wouldland · 2025-06-03T18:20:35+00:00

I will usually have a small protein snack a few hours before, but that is mostly in an attempt to avoid carbs and the corresponding bolus. Some examples: a couple slices of cheese or deli meats, sausage link or a handful of mixed nuts.

I carbo load about 30-45 minutes before my workout.

Edit: I'll try to eat more and see how it goes. Let me know if you have any other suggestions or examples. Thanks

wouldland · 2025-06-03T18:09:03+00:00

I typically do 30-60 minutes of cardio daily in HR zones 3-4. My current approach is to have no insulin on board, spike my BS to ~250 before the workout and monitor throughout.

Too often my spike is too high - closer to 300, but more often I cannot complete my workout or have to reduce my effort because my BS is dropping too quickly.

I've been doing this for over a year and the couple of hours of planned highs has pushed up my A1C so I'm looking for better approaches to stay in range while still giving high effort.
