I went to swim on Friday, because of the cold wx, before going I called to verify they were open, yes. But when I got there they were shut and water was spewing from a pipe outside adjacent to the gym’s outside mechanical equipment, maybe pool related, a burst pipe. You’d think that they would figure out by now, that it does freeze here (Houston) during the Winter.Back to lap swimming after the holidays. It's the only effective way to control weight and sleep better in my case. Also not weather dependent and the pool is close by.
It could be this intense Arctic cold wave we have now reached down there that far south. It might have been unexpected for the facility. It's been brutal up here in the Midwest. But swimming laps is great even in Winter (as hard as it sometimes seems). Good for you for sticking with it, as I try to do.I went to swim on Friday, because of the cold wx, before going I called to verify they were open, yes.

Do you have a citation for the report you can share? Thanks.New report out about adequate hydration and health. Drinking not enough water every day can significantly decrease life expectancy and increase chronic diseases. 3.7 liters per day men and 2.7 liters for women minimum recommended. I'll be paying a lot more attention to this along with diet and exercise.

Yes. Above post same source.Do you have a citation for the report you can share? Thanks.
Temps here only got down to the mid-20sF, this should not resilt in burst pipes if there is any serious attitude regarding prep for the cold snaps that do happen here on occasion, especially for a successful corporation.It could be this intense Arctic cold wave we have now reached down there that far south.

Good not only for refreshment and relaxation I hear, but also for moderate injuries such as exercise or work-related. But for the back I'd think it would be helpful for tissue/muscle unless some underlying spinal issues.Deep Tissue Massage- Anyone feel like a deep tissue massage makes a difference? I recently got one, 60min, mostly out of curiosity. I told the girl my lower back was bothering me. She started at my feet, moved to my legs, arms, shoulders, and back. She really leaned into me at times, “ouch” worthy. I can say after it was all over, I can’t say my back felt any better, and I did not feel particularly refreshed, but I knew I had been manipulated. Next time, if there is a next time, I’ll try the relaxation massage.
My "Drink Gravy" book for $4 will be a best seller once I write it!Stumbled over this. Bone Broth Diet, Kindle book is $8, I deemed the risk-benefit acceptable.
Do you have any experience with this? Speak up!
I understand collagen from bones and cartilage is a good source for improving bone health, and found in collagen peptide powder supplements. I've never tried this, though.It's about the collagen and it's fairly known. Nothing new at all.
But the loosing weight department and those people are often quite desperate and not so educated.
But as all reads….you hopefully learn something that is new for you
I'm 5'6". Years ago I weighed 275 pounds, I weigh 140 pounds today.
The things I did to lose weight were:
* eat only when hungry
* never eat to the point of being full
* go to bed hungry
* I removed dairy and pork products from my diet
* I replaced all drinks with water
My meals are no larger than my fist. If that means eating 5 meals per day then I eat 5 meals per day. The first meal of the day has been plain oatmeal and dry toast, this has gone on for over a decade.
I recently had a physical examination and the results were:
Age: 51
Height: 5'6"
Weight: 140 pounds
Blood pressure: 112 over 78
Medications: none
Medical issues: none
Years ago, when I weighed 275, my doctor told me that I likely wouldn't see retirement if I didn't lose weight. I still see this doctor and she is amazed at the transformation. It takes the willpower of a warrior, but I like to think there is a little warrior in all of us
I’ve fallen into a habit of running twice a day this summer. It’s been very enjoyable and a nice change of pace. With that said my gym visits dropped off. I returned to the gym this weekend and predictably my conditioning fell off. I had to use lower weights then the beginning of the summer / you win some, you lose some
Enjoy it while you can…(the scope I’m referencing is decades).I’ve fallen into a habit of running twice a day this summer. It’s been very enjoyable and a nice change of pace.
