I always eat after excercise… usually a few hours after. Just how I like it… I have no medical or physiological knowledge of this (although I DO play a doctor on TV)…

I typically work out around 5:30 and don’t eat until sometime between 10 and noon.

similar... i sometimes drink a protein drink before... im not sure what that does other than satisfy some psychological need.

Had a really nice day today. Took the day off.

Started with breakfast w @Mrswonderer and @likes2watchU who is on her marathon east coast tour. Then caught up and spent the afternoon with L2 before she resumed said east coast tour.

A nice visit with a fellow litster, greasy spoon patron and team librarian!

He's not in Europe, dear, he's in Scotland.

Yep... I may take a tour and skip around.... but he said I could be a princess in a castle so plans may have changed

 

[Missk_2022]

I'll toss this out there. It's okay to have 2.


They'll likely leave you alone a bit more while they annoy one another.


Sometimes.

I am gonna ease into it

Was delightful to make this work.
Loved meeting @Wonderer67 and @Mrswonderer. Momentous event - breakfast before 10am Delicious!
Quick tour of the local area then it was time for a train adventure down to the DC area. Will spend the last leg with family.
Already had 2 storytimes, 2 homework sessions, and a card trick session.
Triple fudge brownies were a hit for dessert. IYKYK
Be well, be happy... I'll check in as time allows and back to cafe upon return.

Good morning DH and all early risers. Spring is coming slowly but surely. The only plan is a vet visit. My old dog is due a vaccine.

Have a good day denizens of the diners.

How did he do? My girl has an appointment next week. We're taking a trip and she needs a health certificate from her vet. She'll get her nails clipped while we're there, too.

 

[Lilianna23]

My wife and to some degree my daughter volunteer for a rescue so we ALWAYS have a foster cat or two around here. I don't mind cats but they LOVE them. Actually they just love animals....cats are just a piece of this animal puzzle.

So as I mentioned back whenever on here: I basically live in a zoo lol

I think that's awesome, DH!

 

[Lilianna23]

That's poor business on his part across the board.


Insh'Allah that he go tits up.

He might be getting some attention from L&I.

 

[Lilianna23]

It was my calling card. Literally every wedding….

Too bad you weren't at mine!

 

[Lilianna23]

Yours may have been a more refined crowd. I'm still not entirely sure that you're aware of the number of ruffians you keep company with these days, nor the level of their ruffianage.

I'll take ruffians over stuffians any day!

 

[Lilianna23]

Fixin'ta hit the road to the job site.


No weaseling allowed.

I hope you had a good trip. Did you kick some weasel ass?

With you brother. Lost around 15-20 this time last year, mainly just due to work schedule and doing that intermittent fasting routine. Then a couple of vacations and the crazy that’s happened over the last three months I put it all back on added ten for good measure. Had a little health scare and they told me my glucose levels were a “tad” high, so back to the intermittent fasting this time with cutting the sugar in my coffee and just weeding out my sweet tooth.

I dropped 10 fairly quickly but sort of backslid when I moved my mother in. Vacation upcoming so hopefully some walks in the spring weather and getting out on the water will help also. The struggle is real like you posted. Let’s start encouraging each other more. Maybe us chatting in the open will help others in their quest!

Big Ol’ Jet Airliner taking me home today! Got to visit a cowboy steak house I haven’t been to in 30 odd years last night! If ever in Tucson, hit Pinnacle Peaks. The atmosphere and food hadn’t changed in 30 yrs but the prices sure had! . When we were regulars here in the early 90’s you could get a 22oz steak, all the Fix’ns, and an iced tea for $14.99. It’s closer to $40 now but still was a nice walk down memory lane.

I’ve shifted gear from Alpine spring to desert SW spring. inspiration hits when it hits!

I love how open and supportive everyone is on this thread!

 

[Lilianna23]

NEVER EVER CALL HIM AGAIN.....

No, no, and hell to the fuck NO!

I am, however, going to have a chat with L&I. On perusing the RCWs (WA laws), seems some permitting and inspecting should have been done, especially with the electrical... I'll just call and ask (all innocent-like), can you help me understand... I do have his license number. I've been asking for his subs' license numbers, too (for months), but he still hasn't given them to me. No matter. The state will find them.

 

[Lilianna23]

It would be mine...but work gets in the way

Damn work!

 

[Lilianna23]

4 point leathers......

Right on!

 

[Lilianna23]

Wait what room am I in again? *Smirking looking around...sips his coffee from the corner"

You've slipped into "the discipline room!"

 

[Lilianna23]

Ethyl was like...dont mess with the geezer....peon.... I will banish you to the far reaches of my kingdom

Because she's just fierce like that!

 

[MrMakersMark]

Turning 54 next month. Hope everyone is ok with another lurker and part-time interactor.

 

[Lilianna23]

Lilianna and I are talking about yearly competencies on how to apply and release 4 point leather restraints for combative patients.....it is a nursing thing....in the er we are proficient.....

I will need to be checked off. In the ICU, we use chemical restraints more. I can't remember the last time I applied leathers!

 

[Lilianna23]

Whatever it is, I’m in!

I love an enthusiastic patient!

 

[Lilianna23]

Good morning all.....
What's your feelings about eating before or after exercise?
I'm a low carb high proteins kind of guy but I've been stuck around my current weight for months.

I can't eat before I work out; it makes me nauseated. I bring a protein shake with me to drink after I've cooled down. Sometimes I also put protein water in my water bottle.
