I was referring to your post # 266. I wrongly assumed you were defending having issues staying on a low carb diet and I wanted to make you feel better.
Well, Frank, when I typed the 4 digit code into the automated teller, she said, "Please place your mango in the bagging area." I'm taking her word for it. Maybe I got a bad one. If you could eat it without peeling it, it might have been ok, but didn't want to risk itchy lips. I'm sensitive to poison ivy. Too messy.
@Nancy Hart We definitely peel them, at least when we ate them now and then, but not lately. Too much sugar for my wife. I did, however, when some store offered them for 5/ dollar, make up some truly delicious wine out of them! Frank
"A 200 lb person biking at a normal speed of 14 mph will burn 64 calories per mile, if they sped up to 20 mph this would increase to 75 calories per mile." Easier to just cut out one slice of bread. .. There just ain't no fun way out of this, is there?
You've got it pegged. No easy way out. I was thinking of riding one of these saw horses I use or used to to cut lumber. They won't go that fast. I do have a new bycicle sitting out in the garage I bought a while back to ride but couldn't ride it. I don't have enought oxygen in my lungs to pedal the bike.
Revving up your metabolism in general will help burn calories. And "they" say several shorter periods of activity are better than one extended period of the same total time, because there is a carry over effect for a few minutes afterwards. I used to know a great website for calculating calories burned doing activities. Maybe it's THIS ONE For a 175 lb person... Calories burned in one hour: Sleeping : 72 Sitting in a chair meditating: 80 (means only an extra 8 calories burned versus just sleeping) Walking at 2 mph: 200 Calories burned in 20 minutes on a stationary bike: 187
My blood oxygen drops into the low seventies sometimes just standing up doing dishes. I am walking From my driveway to the drivesways on either side of me, sometimes, twice. Occasionally can walk to the corner and back, so you can see I'm hardly worth shooting.
I can’t walk very far anymore either, and I worry that if I do get very far away (I am talking about down the block here), and I tripped and fell, then I might not be able to get back up and make it back home again. Plus, it has been in the 90’s here, and just too hot to walk except early in the morning, and maybe by dark....... which is totally not a safe thing to do around this neighborhood. However, I have devised this workaround, and it is helping me to get my exercise in for walking , and still be safe. I walk back and forth through the house, from the back door (kitchen), through the living room, and down the hallway to our bedroom and around the foot of the bed, and then back again. My Apple Watch prompts me to get up and walk for a few minutes each hour anyway, so what I try to do is walk a few minutes longer, usually about 10 laps back and forth through the house. If I do this consistently throughout the day, I will have walked almost 2 miles at the end of the day, according to my watch app, depending on what other walking I also do during the course of the day. I think that something like this might work for you as well, @Bill Boggs !
@Yvonne Smith How glad I am to realize that I am most fortunate to be able to walk......not unlimited distance, anymore, but a good hour's worth, 2 to 3 miles. Frank
Bill, I'm sorry if I posted something that made you feel bad. . I seem to have a hard time reading your situation. Yvonne has given some good advice. Take care.
