Weight Loss and Exercise Thread
I bought these in September. I just checked the label on the tongue on my way out this morning. Must be M(ens) Arahi, because those are the ones I have from looking at the site.

I run in Hoka Marahi’s with a replacement insert. It’s the only shoes I have found that don’t kill my feet and shins. The On’s I have are terrible in comparisons. I went to a running store and got fitted using their equipment and the Marahi’s and insert are what they recommended.

Surly kids who can't get into UT
My oldest went to Wake Forest for a summer program her junior year. We did a tour when we picked her up and got to the part where they said it was $100k and very little merit money was given and noped right out of there. She said there was a large contingent of Miami and Dallas people in the program.

That area of the country has some really awesome state college campuses with a couple you mentioned plus UVA, UGA, and several others around as well. We have toured too many colleges at this point and some just stand out over the others.

Mentioned this earlier in the thread, but we toured all of them. UNC was where my daughter planned to go from the time she knew what college was. After touring she backed off completely. It is an old campus and at least at that point was showing its age. Their facilities were not on the same caliber as others. If she didn’t get into UGA, she probably would have gone to Clemson. She wanted a smaller town that was centered around the college and Clemson also has a solid honors program. We were in and out for every visit, so I don’t have any recommendations for things to do/see.

Free Bert was a solid, quick series to work through. Absurd in a lot of ways, but still pretty damn funny. I’m not sure who signed off on the kid’s lines, but she carried it perfectly.

FBAR’s are fairly simple filings and are just disclosure in nature. If you have money out of the country, file the proper reporting documents. Filing those documents isn’t any reason not to have overseas accounts.

Yep, if you look at a CT with contrast you can see the differences. I had to have a stent put in one of the secondaries this summer because a small amount of buildup was causing a significant drop in blood flow when my heart rate elevated because the widowmaker shut down and one of the main secondaries was limited. With everything functioning like it should blood flow is perfectly normal because of the interconnected paths that have developed. They just all have to work perfect to keep up with what the widowmaker moves. At least that’s my basic understanding.

The heart grew around the widowmaker so it’s deformed and much smaller than normal. When my heart rate goes up it cuts off blood supply through it completely which in turn elevates my BP to stroke level. The secondary artery structures on both sides are oversized but that also makes them weaker at least in the opinion of my cardiologist. I took statins to help with elasticity and artery health as much as anything, so that’s one of the things we are working on and doing blood work to monitor the results of other medications/changes. I’m on a regimen of stress test and full CT annually with blood work and ultrasounds more regularly. Overall goal is to keep a close eye on blood flow, blockages, etc in the secondary arteries.

Long story short, see a heart doctor due to having a mostly nonfunctional widowmaker. Functionally, everything else has picked up the slack and worked out the blood flow issues that came from that birth defect. Mainly take medicine now to control heart rate because elevated heart rate is where the most issues come up. Do blood work every quarter and full work up annually just to keep an eye on everything and adjust as needed. CPK levels have leveled out with more rest days built in and stopping statins, so we’re working on adjustments and doing blood work frequently to see what works and what doesn’t. I avoid any of the things that are caffeine based or have other things that increase heart rate at this point and really just lean on recovery help.

I need the old people’s guide to a supplement regimen that will not kill me any more quickly than all the other shit trying to kill me. With the CPK issues I had, moved my diet around some and have mixed in plant based proteins. Also, added more structured rest days and seem to be holding fine now. Added in amino acids a few weeks ago and then getting blood checked again next month to make sure I’m still clear before making a couple other adjustments. Down a little over 30 pounds since August, shooting for 20 more by May. It’s become a little more challenging than it was when it started.

My youngest submitted scores to one school and she only applied to SE schools with the exception of Mizzou. There are a lot of state schools and mid tier privates that are test optional. She was terrible on standardized tests but has multiple AP credits and a high GPA which makes no sense. Mizzou gave my youngest better money than Arkansas did.
