Did you do anything special or just reduce calories and exercise?

Keto and intermittent fasting, which in and of itself makes for more scrutiny of the diet. Where I'm at now I've cut back on the latter but still throw it in here and there. Funny thing is due to my schedule I really did very little in the way of exercise. (mostly just some stationary biking in the morning) I'm freed up a bit more now and will be trying to integrate some real working out. Looking to be "in better shape" beyond merely "not overweight".

You weren't power walking in front of my house this morning were you? I saw a guy with 1970's gym shorts carrying hand weights making the most vile moves with his hips as he walked past my house. I didn't know whether to puke or shoot him.

LOL! No, but I can sympathize. I can't honestly recall how long ago it was (I was young) but a bunch of power walkers passed my mom and I and I'm pretty sure I asked her if they were "special" or something. It's still weird to see.

Am I the only one to reply to his on post. First time. Asking for a friend.

I would put in my share of Cherokee, but by now may be reaching Warren dilution. I'm not sure how the division works down the generations, but maybe it was 2nd or 3rd Great Gmom was 1/2 Cherokee. So, that with a predominate dose of Scottish....I'm surprised I'm an infrequent drinker. Or at least a light one.

Interesting tidbit that has nothing to do with Scotch, and the inclination for those of Scotch, Irish, and Indian mix to favor drink.

My family has an interesting background (Cummins Falls/State Park) because a great aunt and my dad did such an extensive family tree research for years. We literally have a file drawer full, and the underneath of my moms beside table. Long story short we know we go back to Red Comyn (Who was killed by Robert the Bruce) and Urquhart Castle on Loch Ness. Highlander ancestry. Must explain my preference for mountains. We ended up with 10 brothers and 2 sisters settling on what is Cummins Falls via immigration and a stint in the Raleigh area. 4 Brothers and 2 sisters stayed while the other 6 migrated further north and west. And while we initially settled up the road form the Cummins Falls property, we eventually acquired the property in 1823 from a revolutionary war officer that had been awarded it for his service. And have had someone in the family living here continuously since. There are a few family research gaps around Raleigh, but my dad never made it there to the courthouse to finish up.

My great grandmother on my moms side (her dad's mom) was full blooded something, don't know much about them as my grandfather was a POS drunkard. As I understand that whole bunch of them were worthless drunks.

That is also a pretty good grasp of knowledge of family tree.

Don't recall if this was posted by me before, but worthy of a second appearance.

Yep I did Keto and 30 minutes of waking, cycling, bowflex on M-F only. Not much at all. Lost 65 lbs in 5 months.

I dont vote, so others shouldnt be able to endanger me with their wild voting ways.

That's three rights down, what other rights do people not participate in that we can remove?

Voting doesn't kill people either the last time I checked, although if Republicans have their way then it might (lol).
