    I'm going to try it again later with the lighter snow we've got coming down. Fingers crossed I didn't break it.

    Electric Snow Blower

    We have a Greenworks electric. 40V. I got through two passes before it quit. The snow was packed pretty good inside it. I cleared it, but the snowblower wouldn't start again. Sigh. I hope I haven't permanently killed it because it's brand new.

    I tried using our electric snowblower for the first time today. I think seven inches was too much for it. Quit on my second pass. Hopefully I didn't completely blow the motor and it just needs time. :-/

    I also heard Chicken Heat down by the airport is good, but haven't made it there yet.

    Raising Canes Sucks

    I tried them a few weeks ago because a new one opened in Johnston and I had high hopes, but I was disappointed. I prefer Slim Chickens if I'm going for "fast food chicken."

    Friday OT: Holiday hangover

    I usually take the tree down the day after Christmas, but this year I wasn't feeling well in the days after Christmas, so I waited until New Year's.

    Help! I'm Fat - *** Official Exercise and Weight Thread ***

    Fiber and protein are my main focus. I also hit water pretty hard. I finish 20+ ounces before I can have my morning coffee. It motivates me.

    Dang. I just bought protein powder. I may buy this anyways to have on hand because that's actually a pretty good deal.

    Sports watches

    I have the Garmin Vivoactive 3, and I love it. I think it was about $250 when I purchased it. I use it to track my steps and monitor my heart rate. I can use it to log workouts (but I really don't). It also has a GPS function. There are a lot of features I don't use. I've had great experience...

    I would LOVE to be a morning workout person. But I already get up at 5:15 just to get us out the door by 6:30ish. I am realistic in knowing I cannot get up at 4:30 to work out. So I do a lunch walk and another 20-30 minute workout after work.

    Time for a Real Discussion About Caitlin Clark

    It's behind her body, but she does dribble as she moves to the left. Just before the shot.

    I'm sorry your brother and friend had that experience with Metformin. I've had zero side effects. None. And, yes, I said I prefer not to take medication for weight loss. Metformin was not prescribed to me for weight loss. It was prescribed for my PCOS. And I don't know if I'd call it a miracle...

    Yeah, I'm not diabetic (and hoping to avoid getting there). My A1C was in the normal range too. My fasting blood sugar is the only thing I'm fighting.

    Um, my doctor prescribed metformin for my PCOS and insulin resistance. Do you have credentials that make you an expert in these?

    This is why I'm trying to lose weight without them. One doctor I had wanted me to go on Wegovy to help me lose weight, which would help with my insulin resistance. However, I'm not keen on staying on something the rest of my life. So I'm trying to lose weight without medication (other than my...

    Had to be Jenn Sherman. She cusses in a lot of her rides. Some people clutch their pearls at that in my Peloton groups. I guess swearing has just never been a big deal to me.

    Sydney Cummings has some great YouTube workouts (even some bodyweight). I have also used The Body Project channel in the past.
