Other than that I have a cousin getting married in Michigan in July, but beyond that we don't have poo poo planned. Buying a house and having a partner trying to turn her startup profitable doesn't leave a lot of money for travel!

Gotta say, it’s been a very strange experience with the girlfriend as things are opening up. We started seeing each other last August, and so we’ve obviously gotten pretty comfortable together in general, but actually going out and spending time together doing stuff in public is almost a brand new thing. Not a complaint at all, if anything it’s been pretty fun to shake things up from a very consistent status quo, just a twist on my usual experiences.

Joey Freshwater posted:Anyone else have trips planned? I do! Going to be in a friend's wedding in Chicago this September. They're the type of couple to have a small party at an outstanding restaurant and/or bar. Covid combined with two kids, plus the fact that I'm going alone, means this is the most I'll have been able to cut loose in... two years?

T-Square posted:Yeah my fiancé and I did Keto together for a few months and I lost like 10 pounds and then gained 20 back lol. I spent most of my 20s around the same weight (mid 180s). In 2017 I went through some massive anxiety where I could barely eat anything and dropped about 10 pounds within a month. When my appetite came back I started to overeat to basically overcompensate, then ended up past the point where I was way over my original weight. Whoops! I stayed there until this last year when I finally started working out while making sure I didn't overeat. Now I'm under my 20s weight and I did it in a healthy way!

No way am I traveling all day on airplanes with a baby lol. I'm thinking maybe we drive down to Savannah in November when she's a little older and the weather has cooled off. I just want to get away from work, stay somewhere nice, eat good food and relax.

I think if you're vaccinated fully, it's fine to travel now with precautions, at least domestically. Air flight isn't usually where the 'rona spreads. Obviously if you're traveling with kids who can't get vaccinated (or you're coming home to unvaccinated people), think twice about it. I'm still hesitant to travel internationally, especially considering a lot of countries are lagging in getting the vaccines they need. Joey Freshwater posted:I don't think I realized you were driving distance to Savannah - Savannah is okay but I like Charleston so much more. Charleston is one of the cities I randomly went to on a business trip, and yeah it's a super cool city being in the middle of the deep south and all.

Two years ago we did Savannah right around Halloween and it kicked rear end. Walking around an already kind of creepy city during that time of year was so cool. Molly loved it.

I have never really travelled in my life, outside of going to Niagara Falls when I was kid, trucking it down to Daytona to race every few years with Dad and going to Austin for Formula 1. All of my vacations as an adult have just been driving a few hours north to stay in cabins and stuff, which is all fine and dandy. I really want to be able to get out of country for the first time within the next few years.

Coco13 posted:Set small achievable goals that you feel you can sustain for years. Snacking on pork rinds and promising to drop carrots is a big sign that you're creating a future failure, not making meaningful and repeatable changes to your diet. Ehud posted:This isn't really what you asked, but my best tip is that diets like this aren't sustainable for most people. You'll lose a bunch of weight if you stick to it, but what is your plan once you've hit your target weight? You cannot eat like that forever. "fill your plate with 50% non-starchy vegetables, 25% complex carbs and 25% protein." Eating meals like that is hard on the road because it's all fast food or convenience store stuff. Those meals just don't exist outside of salads. Braksgirl posted:Just eat mostly plants and move a lot. It’s the only thing you can do. FizFashizzle posted:I do 16/8. Is sugar free gum ok? It's more about something to do to keep my mind distracted from white line fever. I'm starting at 315 and want to get below 250 for the first time in a decade. I already talked to my PCP and am being set up for some stuff like a dietitian. I'm just wanting to get a start with something I know has worked for two people I know.

I understand. And it's good that you already have some experience with fasting. Main two problems with Keto is food prep and compliance. Due to your work, getting keto foods if you're on the road is going to be difficult. Because point 2, keto requires very strict compliance. There's no such thing as 80% keto. You're either in a ketogenic state or you're not 99% of people that say they're on keto are not actually in a ketogenic state; they're usually just doing something like paleo which will produce results anyway. doing both IF and Keto starting from 315 is a LOT.

Heading up to Door County, WI in a couple weeks just to get a away from Chicago for a few days. Booked a trip to NC to stay in the mountains in October again. Can't wait until my kid is a little older because my wife and I both want to take longer trips. It's not really worth it with a little kid though. Everything takes longer, he still takes afternoon naps, and he's not going to remember anything.

I'm assuming I'll end up back in San Jose for work now that travel is open and we don't have to do a ten day quarantine before going on-site. We'll likely make a weekend out of that and see my wife's cousins in that area.

CannonFodder posted:I'm going to this thread instead of the YLLS low carb thread. Before clicking on your YouTube links I was going to suggest watching Dr. Eric Berg's videos, so I was pleasantly surprised to see that's what you linked. He's a very knowledgeable source on keto and I love his presentation style. I am not a doctor like Fiz or swickles, but I have done keto before and have had success doing it, so I feel like I can share some tips based on my experience. For starters, be patient and take things one day at a time. 315 to 250 is a reasonable goal, but it will take time to get there (especially without much physical activity). My second piece of advice for you is to view keto as a lifestyle change, not a diet. If you view it as a "diet", you're viewing it as temporary, leaving you susceptible to failure. That said, allow yourself a cheat day every week. That way you won't be depriving yourself of the foods you love and go on a binge if you happen to have a misstep along the way. Feel like eating a bag of potato chips on a Saturday? Knock yourself out! As far as cravings go, you will find that your cravings will decrease the longer you're on keto. That said, learn how to differentiate between needing to eat when you're legitimately hungry (as in you feel like you're body will shut down if you don't eat something) and eating because you're brain is telling you to, whether it's because of stress or boredom. Look up the Pavlovian response and how it relates to hunger. As far as IF goes, 18:6 is somewhat extreme for someone just starting out. 16:8 is the baseline most people start at for IF. If you want to ease into it, I'd suggest starting at 14:10 the first week and then increasing/decreasing your fasting/feeding period every week after until you're at your desired interval. You mentioned chewing gum to help keep you awake. Unless caffeine is a major problem for you, I suggest getting used to drinking black coffee instead. If you have additional questions, feel free to shoot me a PM

My friend’s parents bought a loving gorgeous little three story house in Sturgeon Bay a few years ago so we get to stay up there for free whenever we want so long as it’s not being rented out. It’s such a cool area. I want to do the ferry-hopping thing and camp at Rock Island later this year or maybe next.
