I caught a head cold that has gotten progressively worse this week. I feel like garbage and am much too busy blowing my nose to focus on anything. So, you’ll have to gorge yourselves on the empty calories of these placeholder links.
I hear there is quite a bit of political turmoil in England. This week’s music.
Get well soon! As king of Glibfit, do you recommend nasal irrigation?
Depends, what are you trying to grow?
Well said.

Speedy healing, Chafed.
Day 30 of Sober October; hasn’t really been too bad, though I thought I’d be sleeping better – I have still woken up feeling like I’m hungover a few times, which is odd.
Thought I’d lose some weight, too, but that hasn’t really happened, even taking it easy on the carbs. Ah, well, that was not the primary goal.
Exercise has been the usual rowing, which is going well but I really should mix it up.
Seems like past 55 the weight just hangs around no matter what. Very hard to succeed without fasting and exercise.
Paying $36 for a sandwich and a soda at the Las Vegas airport could certainly spur some fasting weight loss today.
That’s fucked.
Even at LaGuardia it was only 15 bucks or so in 2018ish.
It’s unholy out here. Must be inflation, not the normal price.
I remember paying $5 for a pack of smokes there in ’89 and thought it was outrageous.
I would hate to guess what they are now.
LOL… When I left New Orleans in 2005, cigs were $4.50 per pack out of the machine at the bar and I always felt that was outrageous. Arriving in NYC, cigs were $8.50 at the store. They are over $13 per pack now.
Don’t forget to up your electrolytes. Low carb flushes your kidneys beautifully.
Extra salt, potassium and magnesium
More than a decade ago I spent a month completely without alcohol. I was so glad that I didn’t try to lose some weight as well. It was about an elevated liver function. After a month of it the liver function was record high. Turns out it has nothing to do with alcohol but strongly depends on my weight. I cannot be even 15 pounds above my ideal weight.

Speaking of “sports nutrition” I bought some Quest protein bars last week. There is a picture of a chocolate chip oatmeal cookie on the package. Let me assure you, the contents bear no resemblance whatsoever to chocolate chip oatmeal cookies, or cookies of any sort. They actually reminded me of those space food astronaut bars from the days of old.
Ick. I will not be buying more.
*Contains no actual astronauts
Contrary to what John Pinette says low-carb bread that I get isnt that bad.

For my GlibFit, I took my last alcoholic drink on Sunday of last week. Husband is joining me on this journey. Amazing how many social situations involve alcohol. At the Halloween parties we attended, we were the only ones not drinking.
I won a costume contest for which the prize was a bottle of vodka, which I promptly gave away.

Don’t worry. It’s not really awkward unless people get absolutely smashed.
Being a teetotaler amidst social drinkers isn’t that bad.
It’s been a little odd, not drinking in social situations, but I think I could deal long-term, especially if there was some specific medical reason to do so.
I’ve been missing wine with meals, especially.
Regardless, best of luck on your journey. I’m sure you’ll quickly adapt.
Unless either you or they fixate on it, it quickly becomes a non-issue. Most people are polite enough to not go past the first “No, thank you” when offering. So as long as you can let it go, it’s doable.
I am getting back to exactly that post -anniversary trip. Even on the trip I had very, very few drinks. Looking forward to alcohol free November.
alcohol free November
So, no family gathering on Thanksgiving?
If you’ve been a beer drinker, there are plenty of decent NAs available. You just have to BYONB to social functions. I think there are NA wines, too, though I can’t speak to their quality. (There’s always sparkling grape juice.) As for substitutes for spirits, other than “virgin” versions of mixed drinks…::shrugs::
Local places have had some very good “virgin” drinks. The virgin mojitos at the Cuban place, in particular, were great.
Yeah, I had some Heineken 00 beers yesterday, and an Arnold Palmer.
Lotsa calories, but I’ll figure something out.
For my evening ritual I’ve been making hot apple cider (Alpine brand 0 sugar) or Celestial Seasonings “Sleepy Time.”
Club soda with a lime is your friend. I would wish you luck, but you never struck me as that type of person. If you want to do something, it is going to happen.
w/e that n/a beer was you gave me when I was over…it was damn tasty
Still need to bring you those patches, too
Those were from a fairly local brewer – Dayton or Cincy – whose name escapes me, but found all of them in Ray’s beer cave just up the road.
Thanks in advance for the patches! No rush on them. (::gently knocks wood::)
BrewDog, I believe. Whichever one of theirs it was, it was NOT the coffee stout, which is still in the basement fridge at last check.
Congrats to both of you!
Enjoy the better sleep and improved body comp!
Get better, Chafed!
I’ve been on antibiotics for a week, now, and they are making me nauseous. It seems to die down when I’m sitting but if I’m up and about then the nausea increases.
I’ve got too much to do, can’t spend my time feeling like crap.

Here’s an example of setting a goal and sticking with it.
Fortunately for him, the DOD has rolled out a new line of low-calorie crayons so he can snack away after PT.
‘Stephens is starting boot camp in San Diego this weekend. He said he plans to specialize in cyber security in the U.S. Marine Corps.’
He already had the perfect body for that.
Well, to be honest, all he had to do was cut his hair and shave.
LOL that was my thought too
Kudos to the kid. That is a lot of weight to lose.
Chafed!
Get better, brother.
Ok week this week. 6 mile hike yesterday and food was on point. Lifting has been kind of blah and sleep has been shit.
So, room for improvement.
Have a great week, Glibfitters!

OT: DJ Moore just fucked his team. Panthers were down 6 points against the Falcons. DJ Moore catches a huge pass and runs it in for a touchdown, tying the game at 34-34. All they needed was to kick the extra point BUT DJ Moore ripped his helmet off in the end zone, incurring a 15 yard penalty enforceable on the extra point kick attempt.
Sure enough, the kick was slightly to the left, no good. Without the penalty, panthers would have the win.
Now they are in overtime. If I were paying a guy millions of dollars, I’d expect him to show some discipline.
That couple minutes was more fun than all of the Jets/NE game that had just ended. I LMFAO.
Broncos and Vikings each had decent games.
Hope you’re feeling better, Chafed.
Reviewing the videos I’m happy that I’m not making the mistakes on the exercises. Mainly cause I ain’t doing them.
2.5 mile walk @ 3MPH on the treadmill this morning, I think that’s a personal best since the big event last year. Arm/shoulder on the Weider machine every other day.
Seems impossible to change the belly fat, I just don’t burn many calories. ATPWDDIM? I have all my stuff laid out for next Sat’s deer opener. Ran my clothes through the fluff cycle on the dryer. Weather looks fairly warm, last year it was in the 70s, this year forecast for the 40s for a high, no snow or rain.
I’m not the boss of anyone but no alcohol, not even a beer for the last 40 years, no ciggies for more that 45 years. Rare colds, sleep well most of the time and no hangovers ever, plus had more money in my pocket to buy reloading equipment.
👍
Good luck in the woods, Fourscore!
I have an antler-less tag (and freezer space) this year.
I have most of the meals for deer camp already cooked. Beef stroganoff, pulled pork, 2 kinds of chili, and taco meat.

Yeah, I smiled at that too. He is probably having a blast.
There must be some talent at Twitter: people keeping the servers going, looking out for cybersecurity threats, doing service jobs that any company needs (payroll, HR, legal, facilities maintenance). He has to figure out which of those employees are doing their jobs and which ones are coasting.
Then he has to evaluate the more fuzzy jobs: expanding into new markets, user engagement, monitoring for real incitements to violence, etc. That will be trickier. But I imagine he could pare that shit down by 80% easily.
Get well soon Chafed!
Heavy deadlift day this last week involved singles of 305-310 lbs from a block. For the last which was “as many as possible”, I decided to up the weight to 315 lbs. First rep was good. Second I got halfway and hit a wall.
Sex Pistols is good.
Last dose of any type of pain med was one naproxen sodium before bed last Sunday night, so this is Day 7 with no NSAIDs. Recent discomfort in left leg has become intermittent enough for me to start thinking of it as “sporatica” and to hold out hope that it is NOT the start of anything chronic. Still enjoying the water “aerobics” (definitely focused much more on flexibility than on true aerobic exercise) immensely, so I’m planning to stick with that…unless they lower the “therapy” pool temp too much as energy prices continue to skyrocket.
“Day 7 with no NSAIDs.”
Frabjous! 🎶 It’s getting better all the time! 🎶
I’m so skeptical of any sort of drugs in my system that I have been relying on heat or cold as needed to help my aches and pains.
I’ve already decided to PASS on the flu shot for the first time in years. I’ve told my husband that if they try to strong-arm us federal workers to get a Covid booster again, I will refuse, and that would mean loss of job. Hoping it doesn’t come to that, but it sure sounds like they are gearing up for another round of Covid hysteria.
I’m betting that they’re going to intentionally combine CoVID-Influenza in one inoculation like dipt-tet so the unwashed that want a flu shot don’t have a choice.
I think more people are being skeptical of any more “boosters”. Since Fauci is about to retire, he needs those Pfizer numbers up in the stratosphere before he cashes out.
(and a parasite like him wont go away….he’ll continually get payed for “consulting” and speaking fees for the TrueBelievers)
How is the stretching going?
::shuffles feet sheepishly:: Haven’t really dug into the book yet, but I’m getting excellent tutoring from my cats! Seriously, even just stretching the leg down straight while I’m lying in bed seems to do some good.
Hope you recover quickly, Chafed.

Finished my garage gym. I can now do all the lifting I need for pretty much the rest of my life and never step foot in a public gym again. The previous homeowner left a big tractor tire in the back that I’ve been using for tire flips as well. Been at it for a few weeks now and it feels AMAZING. My dad does triathlons (he just did one for his 70th) and we were discussing what exercises get us “in the zone.” He likes swimming but I LOVE lifting.
I am going to try taking an ashwaganda supplement for a month just to see what the effects are. No real reason other than I’ve heard about it and curious if it does anything.
I thought an “ashwaganda” was where the Beatles hung out in India….
Awesome, Mustang!
I thought I would miss the camaraderie, but I don’t at all. Walking down stairs, lifting and being back to my desk in less than an hour is the bomb.
Not having to wait on someone dinking around on their phone is wonderful.

I don’t know if anybody else watches NASCAR, but the end of the Martinsville race today was freaking amazing.
At the end of the race Ross Chastain needed to gain several positions on Denny Hamlin to qualify for the finals and didn’t have the car to do it. So partly through the last lap he floored it, rubbing against the outside wall to provide additional centripetal force, which enabled him to go much faster than everyone else, and he passed enough cars to qualify for the championship race next week in Phoenix. The right side of his car was damaged, but it lasted long enough to finish the race. Awesome stuff. (You won’t be seeing that in F1.)
That doesn’t even include the fact that Christopher Bell had to win the race to qualify, which he did.
I watch it with my son but he wasn’t home today, so I will enjoy informing him of the exciting conclusion.
Only if they return to stock cars that are only modified for safety.
The last time they used truly stock cars was about 60 years ago, so I’m guessing that’s unlikely.
I don’t think they were ever not modified for speed.
It’s been a busy Glibfit week. Last week I did a 100 mile ride with almost 10,000 feet of climbing. Yesterday was a 10 mile hike to Hanakapiai Falls. Today being Sunday it is a day of rest in the beach. It seems we’ve adopted a local dog. I don’t even like dogs, but this one is ok.
Impressive!

Are we under some sort of electromagnetic attack? Sunspot? Solar flares? Magnetic pole reversal? Is Hayek testing one of her special DoD toys? My “5g” internet is fucked, which is not particularly unusual, but so is over-the-air teevee reception.

Stronglifts 5×5 continues apace. 100 pound squats tomorrow, I’m excited. Friday’s sesh felt funky, didnt feel like I could get in the groove at all. Felt like my form was everywhere, particularly on rows. Probably was just having an off day due to too little sleep the night before.
This weekend I wrecked my usual low carb eating routine, because it was birthdayish time. Had a group party for mine, and abunch of friends and relatives birthdays. It was good. 1 more day of food debauchery tomorrow
and back to healthy eating on Tuesday. Im curious how my lifts will feel tomorrow now that im loaded up with a bunch of carbs and calories.
In off topic news, looks like the commies won in Brasil. Ughhhh. Wife and I were never Bolsanaro fans, but even her family can see how corrupt Lula and his people are.
Ugh.
Eh. It’s not that bad.
Congress and the major population centers are still controlled by Bolsonaro’s party and Lula will get little done.
Lula won by a mere 1.5% of the vote despite being a wildly popular leader who finished with an 85% approval rate after a booming and explosive economy. He was also wrongly imprisoned by a corrupt judge. It would be like if Obama came back to run against Trump in 2020.

Not the best workout week on a strict session basis, but I have been training the new pup, and the big thing to work on is Loose Leash Walking. Trying to get a schnauzer on board with this is quite taxing, as it involves walking on a lead, but every time the dog goes all puppy on me – going every direction to smell everything, walking at full speed, etc – you are supposed to change directions on them. Not so bad, but I don’t walk too well, so it is really taxing on me. But, totally worth it.
Try doing that with a 75-pound husky.
Or a pit bull. Better, two at once.
We’ll just leave it at “lesson learned”.
Fortunately, they were only about 25 pounds of pure torque and poor impulse control, each,
God damn you Amazon
Dafuq? What are you trying to buy?
Big jugs of Arizona iced tea.
These euphemisms are getting kinda . . . commercial.
😏 I don’t get it – I buy all kinds of foodstuffs off-Prime.
I thought Q and Tres were the ones into big jugs.
Im actually into larger ladies with small jugs.
Tough to find in the wild as all Size 18+ seem to come factory equipped with D-cups
Arizona is without doubt a quality product and a cool company, but I am firmly in the Milo’s iced tea camp.
Don’t know it and apparently Amazon doesn’t either.
Milo’s is the only pre-made tea that doesn’t taste (to me) like tea that has spoiled from not being refrigerated.
Just curious – what per-jug price are you seeing on Amazon? I looked it up out of curiosity, and I’m seeing $13.43 for ONE jug of the iced green tea. I can pick one up at the Walgreen’s down the street for $4.29.
I usually just make my own with a Lipton family tea bag. The ultimate in cheap.
I have fond memories of brewing lots of iced tea at a HS friend’s house I used to spend a lot of time at – best I’ve ever had.
But I’m lazy now.
I discovered I can just microwave the water and bag in a big pyrex bowl and then dump the concentrate into a jug. Six minutes! It is a good cheap thing.
Interesting. That might be worth investigating.
Get a ice tea maker. I’ve had mine for 10 years. Buy a box of tea bags there cheap. Fill the machine with water and the pitcher with ice and the hopper with the bags. 10-15 minutes and you have a 1-2 gal of tea.
Add sugar or not.
I drink a lot of the stuff.

I got home and my daughter also has a head cold. She may miss Halloween. Sadness.
I missed several Halloweens when I was little because I was a sickly child and never more so than around Halloween.
Me too. If she stays home maybe I can get her to watch “The Halloween Tree” instead of endless viewings of “Nightmare Before Christmas.”
Never heard of that but hope it works out 👍🏻

Joe Biden’s ‘lies’ fact-checked by Elon Musk’s Twitter

Oof they’re gonna need an army of fact-checkers to cover Biden.

Whelp, some asshole tried to kill our dog out on the trails. Not her specifically but any dog. Just got Peanut back from the vet today after surgery to remove a spiny plastic disc about 3/4″ in diameter from her guts. She’s not a chewer or a gobbler. It was obviously planted in something that she would eat. People have been fighting over that lakeside trail for years dogs/no dogs. Pity that it had to be poor little Peanut that found the poisoned pill, her pain and suffering plus the $3000 to make it right. What the fuck is wrong with people?
Oh goodness, how terrible! What an asshole for doing that to a dog (and maybe more than one, I doubt someone like that only planted the one).
I hope Peanut is feeling better soon.
It looks like it was manufactured for the express purpose. Someone went to the trouble to take a bunch of fine plastic extrusions and melt the center so that it resembles a sea-star.
That takes a special kind of asshole. The kind that needs a thorough ass-kicking.
I wonder how many other dogs came down with mystery blockages. It’s not the money, it’s the suffering of the pups that really bothers me. If someone is willing to go to that extreme who knows what else they might be capable of. Pure Evil.
That’s just it. Many a serial killer started out torturing animals. I hope they can somehow find the bastard.
The warning has gone out on Facebook etc. Watch your pups on the trail!
The Vet saved the evidence for us. I’ll show it to you on a Zoom sometime. This is like leaving out anti-freeze. Un-fucking believable. Our 15 pound dog is a threat?

Well, since RoaT beat me to the obvious joke, I’ll just say that my stylist will do a lovely job, as always, allowing me to disguise myself as a redhead.
What really is frightening to me is that she’s retiring at the end of this year, and I still don’t know if she’s found anyone else at the salon with room in their schedules to take over me and my “recipe.” 😢
