Thanks Shelly 🙏🏻

Truth be told, I’m in a bad place right now! But that’s where a community like this, with comments like yours, makes it all a bit easier to go through.

Really doesn’t matter which measurement you use, pick whichever you prefer.

With weekly weigh-in be aware you can hit a high or low day, and therefore you might see large fluctuations in your weight.

Another method that would give you a better result would be to weigh yourself 5 or 7 days every week, and take the median number (not average, but the weight the number in the model when you remove the highs, and lows) and this is your ‘weekly weight’.

Based upon, types foods, water intake, sleep, stress and more your weight can fluctuate +-5lbs a day.

Shelly Bynum well doing conventional resistance training you will be feeling sore, but if you still feel sore two days later, when you go train again, you over did your training (my rule of thumb 👍🏻).

Who says you can’t jump rope into your 70’s and 80’s believe it was on the Crossrope FB community we had a lady, think, she was 85 years and still jumped 💪🏻

Carl Harrower saw Joe De Luca mentioning the JRD Nutrition System which has a lot of good recipes and gives you a decent idea on how to set together a meal.

And then do as Dan Witmer says keep 5-6-8 recipes in rotation, one; you will get better and better at making there dishes, two; if you know you’ll have it more that once this week you can save time by prepping (takes almost no additional time cooking 2 servings over 1, or 4 over 2) 😁

Dan Witmer is there a feature in the app to have a ‘second community’ perhaps it would be beneficial to have a dedicated section for us to share some of our favourite meals.

Having it separate would make it easier when looking for inspiration 🤷🏻‍♂️

So it’s the age old debate between strength training and cardiovascular training 🥳

In short (my own opinion from what I’ve seen, heard, and read) you want to do both. But the most important muscle is not (unfortunately) the bicep 💪🏻😂😂 it is your heart 🫀. Nobody woul like to sit back at 90 with massive biceps but a failing heart..

So I would suggest you do these workouts that mixes jump rope and body weight exercises. Should be enough to maintain the muscles you currently have. If you add in 2-3 days of full body resistance training you should be good to last a life time 😉

Shelly Bynum yes know about him and a few others that advocate for a zero carbohydrate diet but I just never felt that energy most of them say they get, maybe 🤔 I should try it again but start out without IF 🤷🏻‍♂️

Not sure what I’m gonna do but something gotta change

Yes it’s just more GI issues 🙈😂 so guess it’s not just the gluten 😂🤷🏻‍♂️
