This was 2018 but I still love Thorlo socks. Also, I think inversion and traction would help me even though I’m not having the shoulder pain it was started in order to correct. Read the full post at http://RunningAFEVER.com/294 Photo by Moose Photos from Pexels Check out this episode!

It’s time for the perennial favorite top 10 list of the oldest people ever. Living to be 100 is still very rare. According to newretirement.com, worldwide, only 6 in 100,000 will do it. So how much of this really applies to us? I hope it applies to me, but I really don’t know. Right now,…

In this episode, the dietician recommended 64oz +8oz per pound you want to lose. I recently read that Tom Brady (see episodes 120,121,122,129,174) drinks between 14 and 37 glasses of water per day, sometimes more. There are so many opinions on how much you need. Personally, I should probably drink as much as I can….

Here we are 28 episodes into the Shattering-the-Yoyo series. I’m not sure how, in episode 56, I got from saying I’m going to stay the same weight for six months, to “I need to ease down”. Seems kind of like I was cheating. I was already in really good shape at this point. There should…

I am starting to notice my step count now that I’ve started back to working in the office and wearing my fitness watch. It’s a great reminder of how stagnant I can be. I have been eating yogurt again, sometimes have the oatmeal for breakfast, though I really like the Bicak breakfast, the “Egg McMuffin”….

Welcome to 2022! And happy new year to everyone! In episode 54 I sought medical advice for the first time for my neck problem. I still have the problem, but the arm pain has not returned since I had my physical therapy back then. I have also gained back the weight and that can’t be…

I had my biometric screening recently for 2021. This is when the company “incentivizes” me to come in and get weighed, and swabbed and stuck, and measured. Like anything, you can look at it as punishment or reward. Just doing the screening gets me $10 per payday, testing tobacco-free gets me some more, and more…

I think the calorie log is really important. Not that writing the stuff down in itself is valuable, but by doing that, yes, we learn how many calories are in the foods we eat. Write them down even if you know you’re going off diet. That way, the next time you get those 20 chicken…

I’ve eaten a lot of oatmeal in my dieting in the last few years and I’ve learned a lot about the different types. Many instant oatmeal products contain sugar. And steel-cut oats have more calories than plain instant, but because they have a lower glycemic index they are a better use of those calories. And…

Episode 50 is a really good example of adapting to circumstances in order to stay on my health journey and maintain a healthy lifestyle. I have a tendency to want to not do something if I can’t do it the same way I always do. But I was able to break out of this by…
