I could not tell you how many you should do without a lot of prior knowledge and still it would be a educated guess. I would say just what works for you. don't strain especially with core muscles.

That would require me to deal with other people. Not likely to happen.Try the non weight bearing exercises like swimming..*splash*... Have you ever had bad days where you cant run or do stuff like you used to?...Those are normal days for me. Never was much for exercise, but once I blew out my knee when I slipped on ice, it got so much worse.
No one's bothered me in the pool. Everyone swims their own thing.

You could just buy your own pool with black jack and hookers.

your hotel doesn't have a pool? They would let me use ours if I wanted. I don't but I could.

I tried that, but all I ended up with was a small pond full of lead-filled saps and rugby players, which I'm sure would be delightful for some...

As I was picking him up from the after-school care room today, my son looked at a box of "multi-grain" crackers and read aloud "military grade crackers". He got mad because he couldn't understand why I was laughing.
And it gave me a great idea:
I'm going to go to the military surplus store and pick up a couple of MRE's.
So the next time he complains that whatever really good meal I just spent two hours making is "DISGUSTING", I can quietly take his plate away and serve him an MRE instead.
John, do you have any MRE stories you'd like to share, or are the memories (MREs?) still too painful?

your hotel doesn't have a pool? They would let me use ours if I wanted. I don't but I could.Sure we do, but even if they would let me use it I wouldn't. It's tiny and I don't trust the chemical levels. They're supposedly automatically controlled, but the controller is wonky as all f&+%.
That is a bit disconcerting.

I’m not sure if I’m packing any muscle. The last time I weighed on one of those scales that show muscle mass and fat percentage, it was at Novena gym and I was 57.4 kg (126.5 lbs). I weigh on my aunts scale and I look at the weight at 56 kg (123.4 lbs), but I don’t know if I’m losing muscle or fat for that. But last week before going to my cousin’s wedding I was 55 kg (121.2 lbs) so I’m feeling rather wretched about it.
Anyway today I managed to run at 9km/h for 20 min, took a 2 min break or so then finished the last 10 min off, so I feel SLIGHTLY better about myself. I think it’s dependent on what I’m plugged into while I run. Always, Linkin Park. No substitutes.
Do you have any tips to lose that belly?
And I'm getting all kinds of commitments getting in the way of my exercise. No kickboxing tomorrow since I promised my mom I would head back to make longan icejelly.
Maybe tomorrow I get to haul myself early in the morning to go run in the gym for another 30 min, hopefully with a little more success this time.
And there's much less gym classes these days due to Christmas, so they took out some classes as instructors go on holiday etc.
squats and leg raises.
| 2 people marked this as a favorite. |
I do squats and leg raises rather badly to be honest. *blushes*
do them every day. Improve your form. No less than 40 a day. You will see improvement. Make sure when you do leg raises you life your coccyx off the floor and hold it for several seconds.
And do them all *slowly*.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Yeah. Back when we used to have a decent maintenance guy, we would get faxes from the controller (yes, faxes) stating that the chemicals were so imbalanced that the controller couldn't rectify them, yet when he checked the levels with the test drops they were all perfectly fine. It was only the days that we didn't get a fax that the chemicals were out of balance. This despite having the entire controller/testing system replaced multiple times.That is a bit disconcerting.your hotel doesn't have a pool? They would let me use ours if I wanted.

Ok yeah lets not swim in that pool

Yeah leg raises are a good idea I like them better then sit ups now that I think about it.

Got a big work meeting later, and the bosses are taking us out to a meal after. I like these big meetings, I view them like getting a half day. Nothing gets done, and all the big-wigs just talk amongst themselves and pat each other on the back. And then we get free food. Win-win. :D

The group projects I did back in school and college made it harder for me to work on teams when I went into the workplace. I hated them, and that a slacker or two could screw it up for everyone else. My experience in work (audit) is that it was entirely accurate, and a couple screwballs can still make a weeks job into a month long one. So at least I was prepared?

Following up on what Orthos and others were saying before, I love FaWtL. I've had my shares of rants here, and shared my troubles, and it, and the wonderful people here, have helped me through some dark times. So I hope everyone feels comfortable here and is made feel welcome and has a good time, because I feel like that's what it's all about, ya know?

Oh! And here I thought that was the continent. Whoops!Tian-XiaAlso, while the APs come to mind the most readily, I'm not sure they're exactly the places that are highest on my list. Places like Holomog or possibly the empire in Jade Regent (I've forgotten the name, and know the names of zero cities) are much higher than most Avistan cities in my book.
No, that is the continent all right. Dont know what the forum did with that post. I wanted to ask, where in Tian-Xia, as there are several empires on the continent.
But I figure you mean the main one, Minkai|

Best way to check if you're loosing fat vs muscle is to measure bodyparts. Since fat has more volume per weight, and you're staying about the same in weight, your circumference should to down. Measure your tummy, thighs and chest. If you're loosing fat and build muscles instead, your circumference should be going down.

I don't know about sharing my problems, well I suppose some work complaints from time to time. I think mostly I just have very little social interaction at night so a little conversation from time to time probably keeps me from talking to myself.

See. Doing it right now.
*pulls out the armchair and sofa* So tell me when you first noticed that your parents had stopped paying attention to you.

And the a*+#+~#s are back. Although maybe I shouldn't call them that right now. There are fewer of them (6 instead of 13), they aren't playing music on their phones (although I could hear the bass pounding in their car as they pulled up), and they are sitting together so they can speak in a normal volume. Still getting drunk at 5:00am, though.
I always hope other guests complain about people like that to me so any action I take to be rid of them from that point on is justifiable.

High school yeah. that was that entire years graduating class at that school.That for high school or what? My 8th-grade class was 17 people. High school was around 120 (it was a county-wide high school).I got a small town for ya. My graduating class was 23 students. It was the biggest graduating class they had ever had. Although the next years was bigger.I love the vast differences in what people mean by "small town". You use it to mean 20k people. I don't consider that small at all. I grew up in towns of a few hundred people, maybe 1,000, until I went to high school. That town had all of 3,300 people. So, yeah, 20k is not that small to me.So, what's everyone's favorite Pathfinder city or (cities if you prefer).
Has to be a city, but doesn't need to be populated (everyone loves a lost city!).
Sandpoint. Because it feels SOOOOOOO much like Albany it's not even funny. Small town (20,000 in Albany's case, 1200 in Sandpoints) within 50 miles of a major metropolitan center, yadda yadda yadda...
My high school graduating class was 2.

Just getting around to the list requests, those who messaged me should be getting responses as the day goes on. Those who haven't, still feel free to peruse the list and message me, or post your requests here, and I'll get to them asap. :)
New Page, New Link to Synos' Awesome Extravaganza!
Merry Christmas, every FaWtL~!
Link to the list!
I've tried making sure it's on every page so everyone can see it, but FaWtL is going fast!

My doctor has specifically been fussing at me about how I eat for this exact reason.
1) no carbs (that means pasta/noodles/etc.) {substitute lean meats, veggies, and fruit}
2) big breakfast, moderate lunch, tiny dinner
So far, first day on the job since the most recent visit, I managed to eat two meals with carbs and a moderately sized dinner after missing breakfast.
I'M ON IT, DOC!
Oh sorry Typo. (I know the difference darn it I just miss-typed )
That's basically just my life. I have so much rage re-reading my posts. "How could I have missed that?!" Blech.

I loooooooooooooooved being homeschooled. My mother was extremely focused (something I, personally, needed, as it turns out I'm ADD), and I actually knocked out more years' worth of work in homeschool than standard schooling. So much so that by the time I got back to regular school everything but math and science were basically just review. That was unfortunately boring, but I dealt with it.

I missed my friends and wasn't sure I was learning what I needed too and I was honestly mostly teaching myself using some education software. So I knew I wanted to go to college so I was worried about that the whole time as well. Although afterwards I realized I probably learned more from the software then actual school.

In the interest of changing to subject to something less...less.
I'm trying to get myself back in the habit of writing when I can, but I've got a lot of stories to focus on, and ADHD keeps kicking in, and since it worked for Orthos a few pages back, may as well toss in my projects. Which should I prioritize?
1. Mother-daughter relationship story involving lots of fey magic
2. Somewhat amoral entrepreneur's crew tries to clean up after various cunning plans
3. Urban fantasy involving the shattered masquerade
Errr…
2 I think…maybe a little bit of the two others mixed in?So, what's everyone's favorite Pathfinder city or (cities if you prefer).
Has to be a city, but doesn't need to be populated (everyone loves a lost city!).
Whitethrone, Mechitar, Katapesh…
Mostly any city that's truly exotic, where monsters walk the streets, the rulers are often very abnormal, and law and customs are preferably far removed from the 'normal or average'.
Its cool and all...
Thought I can't really shake the feeling that it's a hella a lot of time (, and possibly money) and effort to teach someone a lesson, which they might not really learn.As I was picking him up from the after-school care room today, my son looked at a box of "multi-grain" crackers and read aloud "military grade crackers". He got mad because he couldn't understand why I was laughing.
And it gave me a great idea:

So the next time he complains that whatever really good meal I just spent two hours making is "DISGUSTING", I can quietly take his plate away and serve him an MRE instead.
Over here an army issue MRE box contains stuff like jam, chocolate bars and grain'n'honey bars, hot chocolate, coffee and tea mix, mixed nuts and dried fruit, Nutella or honey, various vacuum packaged breads or biscuits, various canned foods and various dry frozen or vacuum packaged heatable foods.

I'm out of sorts today because my body is not being it's usual fit self. Have you ever had bad days where you cant run or do stuff like you used to?
I'm feeling guilty about not getting enough exercise, but I've been unable to run at 9 km/h for 30 min lately =(
Its like that little store of energy just went missing =(
*Gives Mort nuzzles in an attempt to cheer her up a bit*
Anything I can do to help?Chase you around?
Chase you around on a bike?
Chase you around on a bike with a vacuum cleaner?
*Wipes sweat of his turtle-brow*
Even thinking about all the chasing is making me tired.

This site and thread are the only places I have met homeschooled people who were not incredibly odd.
| 4 people marked this as a favorite. |
Same. Our district has a lot of kids who are homeschooled K-6...and they get to junior high with staggering gaps in basic reading/writing. Like...complete emotional shut down over simple reading comprehension questions. I've heard there's similar for math, but that's not my department, so I've not really noticed.
...really makes me wonder what exactly they're doing for that stretch of time.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
99% of the people homeschooling around here are doing it solely for religious reasons, on the grounds that public school is "too worldly (secular)" and they don't want their children exposed to any conflicting ideas or worldviews. It's incredibly common.
