I sleep great. On purpose. It’s a massive part of being healthy. My general rule is no food 3hrs before bed, no water 2hrs before bed, and no screens 1hr before bed.

My hunting buddies who cold plunge are also all in as good or better shape than I am. They say it helps with circulation, mental clarity, and metabolism. It is also allegedly good for reducing the visceral fat around your internal organs, which is supposed to be a pretty good proxy for longevity.

Every single one of them hates it. But they do it anyway. Solidly strong, healthy, energetic dudes the lot of em.

 

i hate being cold so I do not participate, but I would think the adrenalin released from a cold plunge would certainly help with ones mental health.

 

I'm doing just that starting tomorrow, through Sunday morning. Sharing too much whiskey and too many cigars with a bunch of codgers makes for a nice weekend.

 

I sleep well, swim laps, sit in the sauna, soak in a hot tub, cold plunge now and then, lift heavy things repeatedly, row, hike, mountain bike, do stair climbs, shoot a compound bow, drink whiskey, and love smoked meat.

I'm still fat.

Maybe I need to sit with a bunch of old codgers and bitch about life for awhile. That should get me in shape or at least be good for some laughs.

 

It definitely reduced blood pressure.

 

Perfect shape for a man is very strong, capable of intense cardio endurance, high VO2max but not shredded with a six pack.

You want to be able to harvest your own meat, kick some ass when needed, defend your family, carry them all to safety, etc…

But when you’re completely shredded, people won’t take you seriously or will assume your entire personality is the gym, and if you aren’t married to a like-minded fitness influencer lady, she’s going to hate feeling like you’re hotter than her or that she has to keep up with you.

A tiny bit of pudge makes you more relatable and more desirable to your wife. YMMV

 

wonderfully said.


my stance is a little extra weight makes you more durable.

skinny folks are frail.

 

Noted on the chicken skin... like WTF, just give me more pork rinds to chose from...

Also, cold plunges are stupid unless for charity, specifically where you can pay for your boss to have to do it....

I do not miss Texas summers.

That is all...

oh, and it is fn cold here in Florida!

 

But if you are posting it now, the act of posting into the “live” thread is itself live, is it not?

 

What?

 

My team is moving desks at work. Company policy is they will move work items but not personal stuff.

A coworker cannot tell the difference…

 

I am watering my evergreen trees today for the second time in 4 weeks. Weird winter so far.

 

Best of luck with your daughter and dosage.
I can sympathize wrt to ear problems. My left ear is almost worthless…. My ENT doctor did a MRI years ago and it showed bad blood flow due to my sinuous artery. That and allergies where I did 11 years of shots. The allergy thing almost went away but no more ear infections.

 

I take offence to that

 

Thanks, I appreciate it. Always good to know we're all winning sometimes, and also falling apart together. I've been reading about stoicism and I'm trying to engrain that into my mindset.

 

We had to move all our own stuff except for the desks themselves for those who have ergonomic setups. But those aren't getting moved until next month.

 

I like hearing this because I know that so many people out there think this way, and it motivates me. I'm never going to look like someone who can bench press another person, or pile drive someone. But I can look like someone who can't be easily pile drived. A man is either strong or weak in this world. There is no middle ground.

 

Ah man, sorry to hear this. That’s good that they are getting on top of it with the amox. I hate the ER. For one thing it’s always freezing in there.

 

Nice, good move!

 

@Tripleconpanna once again I’m indebted to you for the recommendation. I have not tried it yet.


Here’s a link to the combo package, kind of hard to find on their site.

5'7"? Geez gigantor, save some height for the rest of us.

 

It sounds much like lupus. My wife's symptoms are very similar.

Best wishes for quick recovery!
