Any signs of it planning on cooling down at all? Those electrolytes might make a good difference in that sort of heat.You are sure right about the heat, way too hot today ~104 F, 40 C.

Thanks Llama, that is something like what I have in mind.I agree. When my gran died my mom organized the funeral. She tried to involve as many family members as possible and asked me to read the footprints on the beach poem/prayer. I really don't care for religious stuff but Granny did and my mom does so I too decided the person who'd just lost her mom mattered more. (I liked my grandmother fine but I was one of a crowd of grandkids so we were never close.)
No sign of cooling yet, will try to find some electrolytes tomorrow. Thanks for the suggestion.Any signs of it planning on cooling down at all? Those electrolytes might make a good difference in that sort of heat.
It was a big job, but we just tried to work quickly and be done with it. And we accomplished that.That's great that you helped your neice and nephew clear out your sister-in-law's house. That's a big job. It must have been sad too.
It was a 2 bedroom apartment in an assisted care facility, and she had downsized a lot before moving in there. That made it easier. Sure made the thrift store people happy, a nonprofit one at the local Presbyterian Church.it sounds like you were pleased with the results. Stuff like that is a huge job. I had to have my parents move all the stuff from my apartment when I went into the hospital and It took them a long time. I can't imagine a whole house.
Well really it was Marsia's suggestion, but I just think that makes sense!will try to find some electrolytes tomorrow. Thanks for the suggestion.
I love how thrift shops makes everyone's lives easier--an easy place to go drop off the things we don't need anymore, and a lovely place to go get affordable goods. Win-win!Sure made the thrift store people happy, a nonprofit one at the local Presbyterian Church.
Thanks Llama, glad to see you agree with me. I can assure you I don't and never will have "an astonishing amount of muscle". I do like the idea of maintaining what I got, and maybe building a little more, but that's all. I think the 100 g is a much more reasonable target, I think I'll go back to that for a while.I don't know of any legit reason to have that much protein either. Keeping it extra high while you're on very low calories makes sense to avoid losing more muscle than absolutely necessary but at 1800 calories a day 100 g should be plenty for someone who isn'ta bodybuilder with an astonishing amount of muscle to maintain. 2g/kg and all that is bro science.
Plant protein vs animal protein is an interesting conundrum. Animal protein can be used more efficiently by the body so you probably need a little less of it but plant protein comes with fewer animal fats, which - as far as we can tell right now - is healthier. In protein shakes that bit doesn't matter though, so![]()
You probably make a good point on fat, but I have been eating pretty low fat foods for the past 3 or 4 years, except when I binge. I am pretty used to it, but I will consider eating a bit more fat... can't hurt I guess. And at 1800 calories it will be a little easier.I personally think (and I am not a nutritionist) that for someone who gets triggered to binge by being full it would make sense to add more fat, for satiety without a physically full belly. Also veg if you aren't just omitting it from your listing because it's low in calories anyway. Nutrition research is very hard to do because it has to be long-term and real life and people won't be controlled like that but one thing all professionals seem to agree on is that plants are important for us beyond the sum of vitamins, minerals, and fiber.
Oh, my mistake, did not mean to slight Marsia! I appreciate both your advice, and hers.Well really it was Marsia's suggestion, but I just think that makes sense!
I agree, I think they are a great thing. And I think it is the best form of recycling, no processing necessary.I love how thrift shops makes everyone's lives easier--an easy place to go drop off the things we don't need anymore, and a lovely place to go get affordable goods. Win-win!
Thanks Emily, I appreciate your level headed words of wisdom.If the protein goal isn't making sense for you, then don't do it. Keeping your calories at a certain level and eating as well as you can is more important.
Good for you toughing it out--that isn't easy!strong binge urges this evening. I managed to just tough it out,
Maybe, but sometimes a long day of hard work can ruin my apatite... not yesterday!Binge urges after a long day of physical labor at least make sense, annoying as they may be. I hope you make it to bed safely and sleep well.
No, for about an hour is was hard, but I am glad I did it. No such urges today, nothing out of the ordinary anyway. I am almost never urge free...Good for you toughing it out--that isn't easy!
I do, and you reminded me that I had a couple of slices with dinner that I forgot to log... oh well not too many calories there. Avocados are good food.Rob, do you like avocados? One of my favourite breakfasts is half an avocado with a boiled or soft poached egg on toast with just a little 99% fat-free mayo & a dab of rhubarb chutney. I also love having half an avocado with half a boiled egg & a little vinaigrette. Avocados are good fat.
ExcellentToday was a good day, did a bit of work at the new place, but not so much as yesterday. I ate pretty well, and feel fine tonight.
Don't gnaw on rocks, my friend! They may not have calories but they're bad for your teeth and the poor minerals don't deserve itMaybe, but sometimes a long day of hard work can ruin my apatite...
LOL, I do know the difference, but in my career I typed the word apatite far more than appetite. So when I type without thinking, not uncommon, it is what gets written. I suppose I think in English, and you don't so the written difference is clearer to you.Avocados are delightful and I'm wildly jealous of anyone who can get good ones year round.

Never pooh-pooh people, doesn't make much sense.I'm sure you will pooh-pooh
It had its high points, but like any job it often just felt like a job. I have a Civil Engineering degree, but took a lot more environmental science, chemistry, and geology courses than most CEs. Hey the world needs corporate drone, things wouldn't work without them. No need to apologize for that!this but your previous geological job looks seriously cool and I'm envious you got to do that. Don't tell me 'Oh it wasn't all that glamorous...." etc. Oh yeah? It's far better than just being a corporate drone. What sort of degree/schooling did you have, to get that job? Earth science?
I think you told me that before. I am sure you know more about geology than I do, probably more about a lot of stuff. Do you think you are happier working as a physical therapist than you would have been as a geologist? Geologists I have known had mostly desk jobs, hard to imagine you happy with that.I got burnout just before finishing my bachelor's in geology and was never able to go back to it so I agree with @MsBubbles !
Bought a fixer upper house with some really nice property, 2.5 acres with a spring fed pond. However it has been long neglected so I am busy trying to fix things.Rob, I think I missed something along the way. What is this 'new place' you speak of?
Hard to say. Sitting still is bad for me (and everyone) but working with patients - while fun - exhausts my introvert self to the point of barely ever wanting to see people outside of work. Pros and cons.Do you think you are happier working as a physical therapist than you would have been as a geologist? Geologists I have known had mostly desk jobs, hard to imagine you happy with that.
