I prefer the clips. However, I finally bought a pair of my own. Before I used the gyms a few times to determine if it was something worth investing in and I ended up with Athletes foot. I would not recommend using the shoes the gym provides.

QOTD- I did my move to Maui and am so happy to be back home. Yes it's only 29 right now, but for the most part I'm glad to be here.
Still not feeling my best, I got a Dr's appointment at 11, and lab work so maybe she can figure out what is going on. I'm not complaining about the weight loss even though I wasn't trying. I'm within 5lbs of my post surgery weight. Now I just need to get some exercise in. My back is better, it still hurts sometimes but not like it was.
I was disappointed Notre Dame didn't win last night, I only watched a few minutes of it. Oh well, there is always next year. I'm hoping that they tweak the CFP and don't have so long between games, all of the teams that had a bye basically 3+ weeks lost their games. I don't think going 24 days between games is a good idea, but who am I?
I need to get back to work.
Have a great day everyone!

Good afternoon everyone! I hope you have all been well! I pop in from time to time to read, I really need to get myself back to being a regular.

I celebrated my 10 year surgiversary on November 19!! 2nd best decision of my life, the first was asking my lovely wife to marry me! (32 years in October)
I am still doing well on Mounjaro, my A1c is staying below 5.5 and my weight has been hovering at 195 +/- 3 lbs....
I am very happy that 2024 is behind me, it was the most challenging year of my career, I took over the planning group last February, the planners had been with us for a month, we installed a new fragrance filling line, a new auto cartoner and a new bath filling line. We had a reduction in force at several points during the year and during the last quarter our formulation team began reporting to me. The staff is wonderful, and we are improving our efficiency on a weekly basis. Enough work talk.
Joddie and I are counting the days until our cruise in March, we are flying into San Juan on 03/26, will spend 4 nights at a VRBO we rented with 3 other couples and then jump on the NCL Viva with stops in the DR, Aruba, Curacao, St Lucia & St Kitts. we are ready for a vacation!
QOTD - I really like the area we live in, I do wish we had a lake front home though I would be complaining about taxes! I hope to spend at least 3 months away during the winter...but have many years before I plan to retire.

My morning 30min cycle is usually 8.5 miles. It is not a full-on sprint though we use weights and do arm stuff and also do climbs changing the tension on the bikes. Do you use bike shoes that clip in?

Good morning, everybody!
When Marilyn drove me to the train station this morning, her car thermometer was reading 13 degrees below Fahrenheit. That seems a little fake, but it?s cold this morning.
I am all bundled up: jeans, sweater, my Shearling coat, hat and running gloves. Hiking boots this week also. Really the coldest part is waiting for my bus when I get off the train. It?s free and a taxi is $10, so I try and take it.
The indoor triathlon was pretty fun on Sunday, I swam 400 meters in my allotted 10 minutes, rode 8.7 miles in the allotted 30 minutes, and ran 1.72 miles in 20 minutes. Next time I will shoot to do a bit better, particularly in the cycle - I felt like I had more in the tank.
Running outside is not going to happen until the weather improves.
QOTD: Bermuda; beach, fishing, temperate weather and good food, etc.
Breakfast: Bagel
Lunch: stuffed shells
Dinner: TBD
Have a great day, all!

It is up to 1 degree here now but going down to -11 today. I could live anywhere I wanted and have considered many places. In the end I have stayed in the small town where I was born because that is where my friends and and family are. I love to visit beautiful places but find people are what matter long term.

Good mornin to everyone!
we're hoping to stay home today. It got down below zero last night. It's currently 31° in Corpus Christi and 27° in Houston. Also snowing in those places. Highly unusual,
Ms.Tange's wounds are already almost all healed up!
Yesterday's appointment went ok. He thinks I have rotator cuff bursitis. I got a special kind of steroid shot that isn't spiking my BS's as badly as most do. He wanted to do an MRI but alas I can't. So I go back in 3 months to see if it helps in the long term, so far it feels a tad bit better.
QOTD: right in this moment there are a lot of places. New Zealand is a place I'd love to live for a bit. Maybe parts of Ireland on Scotland.
B: eggs, sausage and cheese + coffee
L: chicken soup
D: chicken with Brie.
