Stable is good considering where you started. It means you're making long term changes, because you used to be gaining. Studies show you need to take weight off and keep it off about a year for it to really be a permanent change.
My favorite part of day 7 was when she said your abs might still be sore from yesterday and I was like yes she understands. It was tough though and that left knee to your elbow then up then other elbow and up now to center then back up now collapse was tough. The 25-30 minute length is the norm now but not every time. And a lot less explanation of each pose. The good news is that she still gives you a rest period between the difficult poses especially the balancing ones. I'm doing day 18 in a little bit, over halfway there and havent skipped a day yet, and I definitely see improvement in some of my poses and my overall strength and flexibility. This has been awesome for me.

. A link, baked potato and some veggies is one of my go to meals. They go well with pasta and raos. 
Hey Oats,Drinking now.
it was a run
Done! My 30 year risk of heart disease is 25%. It says if I work on it and take some corrective health measures I could get that down to..... 20%.
I'm curious how you got to that number:
@gianmarco This actually seems a little odd to me. According to those parameters, I'm fairly healthy with the exception that I'm on BP meds. My biggest downfall is booze consumption (which I'm working on) but that wasn't even accounted for in the calculation. 29% risk just seems really high. What is the biggest thing that I need to work on?
15% here. No veggies is really the only negative I think I have. BP is a little on the high end of the normal range. HDL cholesterol is pretty good, given all the running I do.
Yeah it appears that working out and eating healthy doesn't make all that much difference! For me, it's simply getting off the meds. Seems like a dangerous tool more than anything
Weird. A couple weeks ago, I passed by a fellow on the street corner who was reciting pretty much this exact same monologue, nearly word for word.
Sitting on my rower as I type this. Just finished 30:00 and 7073m - 146 avg HR.
I feel similarly. I saw a thirty horse and I led it to water but it didn't want to drink. So I tried to convince a horse to drink water. You can't do that. You can lead a horse to water, sure, but you can't make him drink. I feel badly for the time I wasted for you and for myself. But I also feel bad for responding publicly when you clear.y weren't committed to improving your life. My sincere apologies for trying to motivate you in a direction you clearly don't want to go. Rooting for you, but done lecturing. Glll p
Yup all my workouts are typically after 9:30 pm. After showering, I barely have enough time to drink and eat.
Oh man, I just can’t see doing evenings. I’m so shot. Gotta be morning.
I think this is right. The stress and anxiety will do me in before the Oreos ever get their chance.
love that altitude! 
I can speak to this personally. In October I was having cocktails with Gianmarco in Portugal and in December I had a widow maker heart attack. I’m 58. Even as I turned 50 my blood pressure was always perfect. -120/78 like. Now even after diet and exercise plus 3 meds it’s hard to control. Stuff changes as you age. Multiple other friends have stents. Put the odds in your favor the best you can.
The hardest part is I seem to eat better than 90% of my friends, work out, etc. I thought I handled stress well but maybe I don’t. I don’t know if it’s really 5-10 pounds, drinking (love a good cocktail and some wine) or stress. Regarding the latter maybe it’s time to open up a jet ski/snow cone shack in Cabo but for now I carry the number for a publicly traded company. Stressful.
Great points k4. Maybe a long walk with doggo in the morning is a good first step and will lead to other steps. Need to make that work. Maybe I can ask Mrs O to start getting up with me to tend to the he two smaller kids while I do that. Because the mornings at the moment are a mixture right now of feeding those two, getting the dishwasher unloaded, feeding and just quickly taking doggo out back, all while I power through it emails and stress about getting started on all the work crap I need to get to that day. But maybe I need to tap the brakes on that part and just get out for a long walk and air with doggo.
Also a hard no. So is furbaby, booping the snoot, and every other tries-too-hard Facebook word people use to make sure we know they like dogs and are hip to the dog loving lingo. Just ####img no.
