Forbidding your spouse from talking to your friends seems rational and logical...if you're a jealous young woman who self esteem issues.

Get your wife to work out, or at least walking every day. She may not be able to compete with women 20 years younger, but a firm body always feels sexier than an untoned one.
There is nothing that will more likely extend your life than staying active, it can make a difference of 5-10 years.
you have to have a reason to start day 1. you can lead her to it but she has to want to do it in order to adhere to the changes. it's much more comfortable to not do shit and overeat.
for me personally? i was an emotional mess in my late teens and found an outlet in the gym to work out the demons. here i am a decade later going to the gym 360+ days out of the year on average and those demons still aren't worked out

Had rattler once.
When I text a friend we refer to autocorrect typo's as intervention by Loki.
Yeah Thors bro..
Snacks as I am sure you knew what I meant.

Yeah, I knew, but couldn't help having a little fun with it.
I've sworn at autocorrect enough times, sometimes I didn't catch it and found out days later.

A proper bike fitting this morning made a huge difference

So, no foot surgery yesterday. My heart took a half a minute smoke break during pre op and scared the fuck out of everyone so now I get to go see the cardiologist....
Jordan I’m super jelly of your bike fitting. It’s on my list of want-to-do’s...

The dude must be raking it in he's booked weeks in advance
forgot to log since i changed up my routine this week.
ran 4 miles every day with some lift after each run. trying to keep my bench frequency at once every 4 days with moderate volume and squat about the same with a light/heavy day. pull ups and accessory work whenever they're not sore. still need to figure out deadlifts or a satisfactory replacement. abs are in and i need to tan at some point. might stop by the beach to tan since i run there every day anyways.
thankfully diet hasn't changed, so the past week it's been the same food:
lunch:
2 coffee
1 nature valley protein cereal bar
1 liter of water
dinner:
1 NY steak (12-16oz)
2 cups of rice
1 broccoli
leftover cals:
2 scoops of protons
1 cereal bar if I feel lethargic

Do as we say not as we do.
I kind of get it for police and fire fighters, but still does not seem fair.
This fire thing is making working out harder. More weights and stuff at the office but I am so damn busy it is hard to fit in.

Perhaps the police but not city workers. What about people who do physical labor for a living ? It’s literally part of their job.
Also have you not see fat police? Because I have.

4 miles down, did the minimum for brogability before remembering that i didn't have any steak left in the fridge. packed it up, showered and went to smart and final because ribeye's on sale. bought 7 to get me through sat/sun then i'll restock again.

Well, since the gym thing is still - questionable - and I needed to get off my fluffy butt and more active, I started volunteering at the barn where I was taking some lessons.
Now I'm out there 2-5 hours/day (or more on occasion) helping with chores and/or riding. My body is still protesting all the extra activity, but it will adjust eventually here.
As a bonus, since my race season has pretty much been shot, this is giving me something else to compete in an enjoy until my budget settles down - and since I'm working off many of the normal costs, it's been pretty cheap comparatively speaking lol.
