Watcha doing?

[RabbiKnife]

I’m actually exercising some on purpose

1.5 miles in the hills around my house every night

So far , at least 6 days a week

If I’m running it means I’m being chased and I’m out of ammo…

I think in many cases "running" an ultramarathon is a figure of speech. I know a guy who has done a couple of 100 mile races and the time limits are such that you only need to average about 3-4mph for the duration. In theory you could walk the entire route and still finish within time, assuming you didn't need time for any irritations like eating and sleeping. You can probably eat on the move, although sleeping on the move comes with its own set of challenges.

Another run today, then a bit of enabling work. I need to lay a bottom beam to frame my closet but I couldn't do it because the floor was missing. Parts of the floor were cut away because they were under where a bath once sat, so I needed to fill the gaps. But filling the gaps was tricky because the ends of floorboard had no support.

In the end I cut them right back to the nearest joists, added a buddy section to the joist to support the ends of the floorboards, which allowed me to put a section of floor across the gap. Along the way I needed to replace a section of joist that some genius decided to cut away sometime over the years - apparently it was considered a good idea to just cut big chunks out of joists to accommodate pipework. So now there's a section of wood filling the gap, screwed to a section of 2x4 which is attached either end of the cut away section with structural grade screws. Probably lots of overkill but I'd rather know it's not going to fail on me. How what's left of the joists haven't failed over the years is a mystery.

Anyway, now I'm in a place where I can press on with a bit more wall framing so that will be tomorrow's job. Then I went out for dinner with my wife, at our favorite local brewpub. It's getting a bit spendy but it's a nice evening out.

Still maintaining keto diet and type II diabetes reversal after a setback or two - any relapse into carb territory has resulted in spikes and endangers vision specifically. Pressure has caused eye floaters and even flashes.

Lesson learned.

The benefits of a careful, however difficult, regimine, are countless.

Wiil not give in to medical industry pushing BG lowering meds which do not actually address the issues of insulin
resistence.

Yep

I found out a month ago over got a bit of coronary artery disease and I refuse to take statins

So it is a whole food plant based diet… no meat, dairy, eggs, nuts…. And walking 30 minutes a day

I’m eating like a horse (literally), never hungry, great energy, and I’ve lost about 14 pounds in 30 days

God is t stupid even when we are

No nuts? Aren't they plant-based?

Yeah but as they metabolize they create a particularly nasty trans fatty acid that harms the endothelial cells that line the cardiac arteries.  Part of the goal is to help heal the arteries themselves without pharmaceuticals

I ran 6 km about each day, trying to run a new PR.

But that was more than half a century ago when I was in the army.

And I believe the about each day is an exaggeration 

Nowadays a walk 15 of minutes is the limit, 30 minutes means paracetamol, no  exaggeration.

Interesting. Does that apply to all nuts - I've been eating brazil nuts lately as a source of selenium and magnesium, albeit in fairly small quantities.

Still alive and doing relatively well 7 years after being told I had already had a heart attack and was on the brink of a disaster. Competent specialists refuted the misdiagnosis after a sonogram and other tests. (The faulted doc since resigned).

I went in for stitches awhile back and they got real heavy on me for not taking the statins he had prescribed. Etc, etc...

While folks on statins and diabetics are dying all around me.

Am without sufficient words for the medical establishment

I’m right there with you…

My cholesterol is elevated, so I've joined the club.
