My dad will be 90 in April. He can’t see hardly at all, can’t hear hardly at all with hearing aids, has a bum knee/hip from breaking it 4 years ago BUT still walks downstairs to life weights. My hero ❤️
A few extra years is a lot to someone with a terminal illness
Belief:
"I'm not giving up 2 hours of every day to exercise just to live a few extra years."
Reality:
* Your miserable car commute becomes a fresh-air bike ride that you look forward to every morning. The best 2 hours of your day.
* Your fondest memories become the hikes, bikes, adventures, and active vacations you share with family and friends.

You're not 'giving up' 2 hours of your life.
You're making those 2 hours - and all the others - better!
This @Cubs fan is cheering for you!
I have more miles than @UltraRunner26. That’s it, that’s the post. 😆
On my recent work trip, I was the only one not drinking. I was offered champagne at hotel check-in, drinks at social hour, and dinner. Just one sip, live a little, want to taste? It’s a constant but never was I tempted.
not drinking while everyone around you is is like a super power. while they are facing some level of impairment, you are not, giving you the ability to lead the conversation. you have an advantage. you can even use this superpower to extract information that otherwise would have been kept from you.
it isn’t hard to socialize without drinking. i understand it may be awkward if you’re used to drinking, but since you know how to hold a conversation and socialize without, you can most definitely have a good time at a social gathering without alcohol.
i’m not your dad so do what you want.
Just ran a mile ridiculously slow. I wanted to keep HR low to get a feel for pace. Mission accomplished now I know.

Here’s the carnivore ravioli/taquito recipe.
Melt one cup shredded mozzarella in 20 second increments until melty.
Add a half cup of butter powder and work it into the cheese. Add a tbs of raw egg. Then add up to another half cup of butter powder. Whatever it takes to get the doughy consistency you see in the video.
Flatten and bake on parchment in a 375° oven for 8 to 12 minutes.
Add whatever filling you like and fold them over and bake for an additional five minutes but lower the temperature to 200° so you don’t darken the raviolis too much.
I used a half a pound of ground beef with one cup of ricotta cheese, seasoned with a little bit of garlic powder, onion powder and salt.
I’m thinking rolling these out with a rolling pin and lowering the cooking time might get a proper ravioli but these were pretty delicious as is.
It could also possibly be used as a flatbread sandwich or pizza.

Just finished running 4 miles on the treadmill with a couple walking breaks. My dad asked when I got my second wind, told him I didn’t because I didn’t need it….”work harder” he says….ON IT

Rough 24 hours here in Midwest. Tornadoes, power outages and more coming today. Thankful to have a generator. It’s going to be a long day.
As a kidney recipient, this makes me so angry.
35-year-old father of five, Garnet Harper, was denied a life-saving kidney transplant in Ontario — not because there weren’t donors, but because he hadn’t received the COVID vaccine.
His own brothers had volunteered to give him a kidney, yet no hospital would perform the surgery.
Garnet passed away in May, leaving behind his wife of 12 years and their five young children. While he was still fighting for his life, hospital staff asked his wife if they could harvest his organs once he was gone.
He was considered unworthy of receiving a transplant while alive… but valuable enough to take organs from once he died.
This isn’t just a policy debate anymore. It’s a family that will never be whole again.
