It was an awesome sight. Moving in straight line. My friend in Oklahoma witnessed it a few weeks ago too. Eyes to sky and you may see it too.

I'm just glad and relieved that my niece is safe. Too close to home. She's usually in the building but that day she wasn't.

I noticed in the south that houses don't have sprinklers too. A lot of houses outside city limits have wells and use city water. Houses in the city don't have wells probably due to city regulations, I'm not sure.

« on: August 14, 2023, 04:32:12 PM »do what works for you...lols j/k..you know you're right. my wife try to do what I do and she got sick as a dog..lols i guess for men it works temporarily... I went back to eating as usual. just no more rice, no more sodas and energy drinks. until cheat day. or days...lolsPeople have to understand that exercising stimulates the body it reacts thus weight loss and muscle gain early on. The body adapts hence getting healthier. Lifting weights and gaining muscle mass will increase the metabolic rate. Don't deprive yourself of rice, it'll boost your insulin level. Just don't eat too much. As the saying goes, every body is different. It takes trial-and-error. Good luck on your journey and keep us posted.
thanks for enlightening us...i say it;s safe to follow what works for a Hmong person...if it works for them, it likely will work for you too..lols I knew of friends who are Hmong..and all they did was lift weight..no cardio..and a balance mostly healthy dietand they got ripped withing a year or two..before they were like me, slightly over weight..haha

Fat has to be converted back to energy and that takes time and vice versa. We all learned this in biology. The rate of conversion is based on your metabolic rate. When working out, the body uses the sugar aka glucose in your blood as energy. After that, glycogen is next. Losing 20-30lbs in 4-5 weeks is not healthy and mostly water weight. Diet is key to losing weight. Also not eating will put your body in a catabolic state. Do your research folks.
