Recommended Posts

I just make fun of the slapping sound it makes on my legs.

Brett is an old has been whiney baby who should just give it up. He has had his day, so now he sholud put on his big boy pants and enjoy retirement.

Why anyone whould want to be a cheese head is beyond me.

Yeah the sweat that collects under there is worse than the sound it makes. Try doing jumping squats in a room full of skinny women with the slap slap of the stomach on the thighs--always a good time.

Yeah, same as cycling, the sweat is a killer, but at least it is not slapping around as I ride, and even if it were, no one would hear it.

Long, what is your age, if I might ask??

Bg, I was wondering because of your goal, that is about where the doc says I should be and I am 5'7".....

I hooked up my bike to the trainer yesterday, but when I do that the front tire does not move, so I don't know how many miles I went. I did it for an hour, so I just played it safe and say I went 10 miles. It was probably more like 20, but since I don't know for sure, I didn't want to over calculate, for HP's sake, ya know???

Have a family meeting tonight to plan in laws 40th anniversary party, so not sure how much riding i will get in tonight. Life is getting in the way of my riding.

Even I will admit Brett has had his day and needs to retire! Retire with class and stop this whining and indecision.

Why do you want to know? :eek: I'm 49+1 ;) Just had the big 5-0 a few weeks after banding, it was my gift to myself.

well, I've not ridden in a couple days. I will get out there tonight. I'm not at the point where I just thoroughly enjoy it yet, but butt hurts and knee hurts and it's easy to make excuses, especailly when it's been around 100 every day. But I gotta do it or I will never get past 2 miles. Or keep this great pace of weight loss going.

      Saw my PCP & officially started my 6 month supervised diet 07/26/24. She just told me to eat less carbs & sugar, use the air fryer and not fry my foods in grease, and to try to walk 30 minutes 3 days a week & if I can't do that (and I cannot), to walk 10 minutes daily. Told me to walk fast enough that my heart rate is raised.  She didn't give me a number as far as calories though. A year or so ago I was doing low carb/sugar free and keeping my calories at 1800 or below. She said I should up my cals to 2000 at that time, so that's what I'm shooting for now.
      Hubby walked with me today. He's in pretty bad shape so I was surprised he wanted to. We walked down the gravel road at a pretty good pace (for us LOL). 10 minutes walking and my heart rate was 115bps according to my Fitbit and 125bps according to his pulsometer. Either way, it was elevated and I was breathing hard. Doesn't sound like a lot, but it's a start. We'll do it again tomorrow. 😁
      I should be hearing from the surgeon soon. She said if I didn't, to call him next week. Since I HAVE to do the 6 month diet & that's going to put me into January by the time it's done, I'm hoping the surgeon will let me do all my testing in January. I don't want to do it all now and have my deductible get met, only to have to pay the deductible again in January or February for my surgery. Praying that things go the way I hope. 🙏

      Factors Affecting the Growth of the Alternative Sweeteners Industry:
      Health Consciousness: The increasing awareness among individuals about the health issues linked to high sugar consumption, such as obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases, is supporting the market growth. Consumers are becoming more health-conscious and seeking products that can provide sweetness without the negative health effects associated with sugar. This shift in consumer preferences is leading to a greater demand for low-calorie and natural sweeteners like stevia, monk fruit, and erythritol. These sweeteners offer the added benefit of having minimal impact on blood glucose levels, making them suitable for diabetic and health-conscious individuals.
      Technological Advancements: Innovations in the production and formulation of alternative sweeteners are impelling the market growth. Advancements in biotechnology and food science are leading to the development of high-intensity sweeteners with improved taste profiles and functional properties. Innovations in fermentation processes enhance the production efficiency and quality of natural sweeteners like stevia and monk fruit. These technological improvements are making alternative sweeteners more appealing to both manufacturers and consumers. Enhanced stability, solubility, and sweetness intensity allow these sweeteners to be used in a wide range of products, ranging from beverages to baked goods.
      Consumer Trends and Preferences: Evolving consumer trends and preferences are playing a significant role in driving the alternative sweeteners market. The growing demand for clean-label products, which are healthier and free from artificial ingredients, is offering a favorable market outlook. Consumers are increasingly seeking natural and plant-based sweeteners, aligning with broader trends toward plant-based diets and veganism. Besides this, there is an increase in the demand for low-calorie and sugar-free alternatives that support weight management and overall wellness.
