    OK, after a LONG time of new regular exercise, I'm trying to get back into a routine.

    This morning, 20 minutes on elliptical followed by some resistance. Mostly tried to get a baseline weight for resistance as it's been so long, and just did 2 x 15 reps on about 10 different exercises.

    I've been intermittent fasting for a while now. Weekdays, typically eat dinner and maybe a snack just to make sure calories aren't too low. Weekends, eat lunch around 1 and then dinner and usually some snacks -popcorn or whatever

    So basically doing 8\16 fasting on weekends and 2\22 fasting on weekdays.

    Working the same thing….not as long a fast as you though.. it’s good…nice slow but consistent weight loss…

    Yep, that's what I found. Ultimately, I'm restricting calories, but it doesn't feel the same as restricting them on a per meal basis.

    I haven’t PT’d in so long. I know I’ve gained too much weight in the last decade. I haven’t had a physical since 2011. I’m sure when I do, I’m gonna get an ear full. My wife is always on my case to go.

    Do it. Ignoring it makes it worse in the long run. Would you ignore oil changes and routine maintenance on your car?

    Yes. You’re so correct. I made a physical appt in June. I hope it’s a fine female doctor.

    I switched to a new doctor during the pandemic, and I've seen her twice and have yet to see anything but her eyes.

    Seems like it’d be awesome but having a female doctor juggle my nuts around while discussing my upcoming vasectomy was actually pretty uncomfortable. I was concerned about possible arousal

    Wife was out of town today at a funeral in Mississippi, so I got home from work and got on the elliptical for 30 minutes while talking to my father on the phone and when I got off and I wasn't that hungry and didn't have my wife here making dinner (she'll be home any time now, but sure she ate on the road), so decided to just continue my fast.

    Will be the first time I've gone more than 24 hours. Ate dinner around 5:30 yesterday, so will go to bed soon, and then either break my fast with breakfast (36 hours) or lunch (41 hours).

    It's really amazing how once you get used to intermittent fasting, extending it a bit is really not that hard.

    Wound up skipping breakfast the second day but then had lunch, so it was pretty close to a 42 hour fast. Crazy thing is on the second day, I wasn't even hungry. I could have easily gone until dinner and made it a fully 48 hours.

    I might do that once or twice a month in addition to my normal intermitted fasting.
