  1. I need all the eggs lol..
  2. Sure does!
  3. Did you ever get this figured out? Curious on why you think it's a fiber necessity. Interestingly enough, finding a food lifestyle that works for you tends to help with so many health issues. For example, when I'm really on my game for food, I especially do not think about fiber. It sort of just happens with what I'm eating.
  4. Yay for it being taking away from EA. Not so sure I'm thrilled with it being Ubisoft, as I don't think there's been anything in their repertoire that shows they can do it justice. Major studios don't have it in them. Small studios that actually think about creating games with rich storylines... that's been the shining, flickering light in games during these dark ages of games.

    DSC Raid

    We should probably start creating more sherpas in the group, so it doesn't completely land on you and Charlie all the time? @TurboR56Mini seems to be good with picking up different roles. @RedBeardCG was/is usually our "captain" when we went through GoS for Divinity. I'm more of the "tell what to shoot, and I'll shoot it... but really support" lol If we get another sherpa trained in whatever raid (DSC or others), we can grow the raid group and pull in some lurkers and newbies. 🙂 Much praise to you and Charlie for getting us into this!
  6. Yes. Please. Absolutely. Really really want to go through it at least once!
  7. So, I had intended to do my gym's HIIT workout at home yesterday after I got back from the eye doctor. Oh, silly me. They didn't tell me when I made the appointment that they were going to dilate me. There went that. Fairly hilarious to have to text Carl that he would need to Uber over to the doctor's office, so he could drive me home. Such a waste. But, after the appointment, it ended up being an impromptu date night with some wings, pizza, and a bubble tea. (Again. I'll start really working on my food in February when I need another jolt in the weight loss to ensure I meet the second checkpoint in the DietBet) Onto today's 5AM HIIT! 1/13/2021 Workout 8 minute EMOM (every minute on the minute): 6 power cleans @ 75lbs THEN 50 pull-ups (scaled to jumping pull-ups/basically deficit pull-ups) Thoughts: The usual 5AM coach (James) is back. And, I walked in today a little puzzled when I saw that my box was not set up. He said, "You're going to join the rest of us in civilization. So, I have you set up over there." Ehhhhh.. the spot he put me in is my second favorite spot anyway.. not a big deal.. but definitely more "in class". When he started letting down the pull-up bars, I got even more concerned when he didn't swap mine out for ring rows. I let it slide initially as I thought he would swap them out later. I.was.so.wrong. Thus, today's workout went from me thinking I would go heavy on the cleans to "yeah. naww.... You want me to do what then do 50 pull-ups?" So, instead of doing 115lbs on the power cleans, I dropped the weight down to 75lbs. No, power cleans should not use a lot of upper body thus my shoulders, arms, and pecs should not be gassed when I do the pull-ups. But, grip is still used. And, I'm not going to lose grip while doing whatever scale of a pull-up I could do. Coach said that he is going to get me to do strict pull-ups and a muscle up by the end of the year. So, no more ring rows for me. I basically laughed and said, "hopes and dreams over there. If you succeed, you'll be my first coach to get a non-assisted pull up out of me." The workout wasn't terrible. But, it was not what I was anticipating. I did like it, but I also did not push myself super hard because I wasn't sure where I was going to be on pull-ups. Definitely will have a slight soreness in my shoulders and arms later. Should be good. Just means I can do something tomorrow! The other coach (Tim) who focuses on weightlifting was there too. He was with a client. When James was winding down our class and talking about the squatting workshop they are about to start, Tim yelled, "Hey, LA! We're going to see you there, right? I'm tired of Shale being the only one who lifts heavy in these workshops." I guess I'm going to be doing a squatting workshop for 9 weeks starting the 23rd lol. I'll have to figure out cardio intensive workouts in lieu of boxing for 9 weeks.
  8. You can do some HIITs inside the house! My home gym is indoors and tiny, but it works for most of the time. I can't do battle ropes, but I think I found a compact one that could work. Workout Ropes - Shop the Hyper Battle Rope | Hyperwear WWW.HYPERWEAR.COM Elevate your training with the Hyper Rope unanchored battle rope, a heavy weighted rope that delivers the intensity of 50ft battle ropes in 6ft of space.

    DSC Raid

    I'm not going to be in for this run... so, I think everyone else has the other ones caught up? I sure don't lol. I guess I could go get my other characters up to speed in case we do another DSC run with a single class lol. Curious to see what you guys end up with!
  10. Hmmm... I'm curious. But not enough to really care. Then again, I'm atypical in that I truly admire Lucas for his advancements in film and film technology... and don't really care much about his actual films/stories. I did enjoy Indiana Jones infinitely more than Star Wars.
  11. I expected usual first wave issues with the PS5. I did not expect this with the 3080. We are doing a massive upgrade to our home computers from laptops with 900 series that were the best at the time, to PCs with the 3080s since I am no longer afraid of getting kicked out of my gaming room. Legit - the only reason why I have a laptop (bought laptops for years) was because I needed to be mobile.

    @Kemp210 will be taking the last spot. FYI!
  13. Well done on the PR! And raw!
  14. 1/11/21 Workout Functional focus with some cardio Buy In --> 100 single unders (or 50 double unders) 5 Rounds 2 Air Squats Modified Side Gorilla 10 feet 2 Air Squats Modified Side Gorilla 10 feet 2 Air Squats Side Crawl Right 10 feet Side Crawl Left 10 feet 5 Jump Squats Forward Crawl 10 feet Reverse Crawl 10 feet Cash Out --> 100 single unders (or 50 double unders) Last Call --> 10 push ups, 10 sit ups, 25 air squats Thoughts: Yesterday's active rest day ended up being a full rest day. Needed to do something today. What's the saying? Never miss a Monday? Shoulders, delts, and lats are still slightly sore from Friday and Saturday. Nothing that would actually impede me from doing anything. I know this week is going to be a touch more difficult in regards to my DietBet. The first week never really counts when it comes to weight (if you care, I'm down 3lbs from the January 2 weigh in. Goal for January is to be down a total of 6.2lbs to qualified for the January money pot. Yay water weight). So, again, trying to focus on the workouts to see if I can still make some progress before cracking the whip on food. And, yes, I know, food is like 90% of the game. I completely know I would be an absolute rotund ball of jiggly fat if what we ate was not as good as it is now. Fighting hibernation mode is tough. All I want is a grilled cheese with bacon currently. Or Mac & Cheese. Need to start setting up something with our farms, so I can have some grass-fed/finished steaks again. Tomorrow's workout at the gym isn't posted... and I should sign up for it anyway. I just want to know what nonsense the coach is programming before I do lol. Classic HIIT at the gym is rarely a thing.
  15. My initial reaction is to crawl under my desk and cry (before trying to figure out what to really do)... since I have a new computer with a Nvidia 3080 coming and a new PS5 coming....

    I hear there's another DSC raid run! Semi-decent chance I might be able to participate. Maybe. But, anyway, here's the calendar event for whoever is doing this!
  17. Event Title: DSC Raid Event Author: RenFengge Calendar: Destiny Calendar Event Date: 01/15/2021 12:00 PM I hear there's another DSC raid run! Semi-decent chance I might be able to participate. Maybe. But, anyway, here's the calendar event for whoever is doing this! DSC Raid N.B. If viewing this via the FG App, please visit the Calendar event via browser to RSVP. Thanks.
  18. 1 rep max? Barely anything worthwhile. My PR was 155lbs. I'm highly imbalanced lol. Strong legs. Terrible upper body. So, it's sort of hilarious when I do bench or snatch.
  19. I'm a little aimless and unmotivated today, but I still tried to get something in. My boxing coach cancelled late last night as he is sick. Since I do not want to chance that it would be COVID, I'm basically not seeing him for another 2 Saturdays. It's fine. I'm prepared for that now. Still smarting a little from yesterday's session. Had some body self care done via dry needling and chiropractor. My chiropractor goes to the same place I go to, so he went through the same workout with me haha. Since I did not give much thought to today's impromptu workout, I thought I would just focus on my weakness being upper body and core. Did not want to ask husband to spot, so I didn't go heavy on the bench pressing. Just threw on more sets to go to near failure. 1/9/2021 Workout Bench Press Weightlifting: 3x5 @ 45lbs 10x5 @ 65lbs Cardio-ish time. Buy in: 500m row 10 rounds 10 Russian Twists @ 15lb kettlebell 10 tricep dips 10 double crunches Cash Out: 500m row and 25 goblet squats Thoughts: Totally one of those days where I did not want to do anything. But, there was a time where I was fine with working out 4x - 5x a week. And, the DietBet pot is at $2m. Just meeting every goal until the end makes the money incentive worth it. Short term goals need to remind me of my long term goals. I'm not completely focused on my food yet, but I'm saving that strategy for next month's interval winner's pot. I still have a healthy stash of various proteins, and all the usual food things we typically cook when we aren't fighting "hibernation mode". All in all, at least I got something done. Tomorrow, I will most likely do an active rest workout focusing on functional movements. Week 1 down. 51 more weeks to go. Decent start, I think.
  20. Enjoy it! It's a fantastic mini-series. I think her best friend in the orphanage was my favorite character.
  21. @Kemp210 is going to take my spot - FYI. I'm not going to "decline"/"leave event" because I think he's still having issues RSVPing. @RedBeardCG - looks like you're on Div duty. 😉 I'm gonna continue breaking Samurai code and upsetting "Uncle" by going full ninja in Ghost of Tsushima lol.
  22. It's just a different ground-to-overhead. Heck, the whole workout was ground to overhead essentially hahaha. My quads are somewhat angry now.
  23. So, I'm currently running around trying to 1) get enough materials to upgrade all my stuff, 2) unlock as much as I can before continuing with the story, and 3) get enough technical points to better my play style. I had just finished clearing out the logging camp, I think. Then, Jin decided to sit down, bask in the bloody and fiery aftermath, and have a drink? Dude... that's some badassery, I guess.

    DSC Raid

    I had 2 headsets on for the first hour lol. One for the game, one for the work meeting lol. Also, I have no clue really what's going on in the first encounter as I'm just doing ad clear and killing servitors, then shooting whatever cylinder I'm told to shoot. The second encounter is another that I have no clue what's going on lol. I probably should learn operator for those two before anything else. Sunday will be interesting... and probably test yours and Charlie's patience with me in a whole new way!
  25. Overhead presses are your favorite, eh? You ever find that women enjoy squats and men enjoy overhead, generally? Anyway, well done! I think I am going to try that combo movement in my next lift session. 3 strict then 3 push press. Makes sense as after 3 reps at a certain weight, I need to dig a little deep to finish the next two as strict when I want to do it as a push press just to get it overhead!
