I agree on hiking needing something else. I am also being mindful about calories in.

In the past I have tried fasting, going to the gym, etc, but nothing really worked. The best was when I had an eliptical and I was able to use it for 45 mins most days. I was able to get down to 237, but then I eased off. The thing I like about hiking is that you can’t really quit halfway through. It is over when you get back to the starting point.

Anyway, we’ll see if I can keep it up, but I post here to get some accountability.

Stupid? Definitely. A play out of Trump’s playbook? Kinda. Normally Trump is the one that gets sued.

They will probably look to get small to mid size employers to settle in order to avoid a costly legal battles. Although I wouldn’t be surprised if this is all just a ploy to keep his fanboys in line.

It’s quite telling that I can’t tell if this is real or not and I can’t be bothered to log in to check.

I feel the same. Even in a state as populated as NJ the public transit system is mediocre unless you are going into NYC.

Something that intrigued me was how Martin Luther King managed to do so much through nonviolent protest. Rosa Parks refusal to give up her seat and the bus boycotts made people realize how absurd and unfair Jim Crow laws were.

He even participated in a sit in at a department store and was arrested for it. People were getting arrested in such numbers for such simple things it made people think about what King and his followers were trying to do.

I have no doubts that Ms. Thunberg has good intentions, but her protests are simply ineffective. In this case, “blockading” an oil port just frustrates people for delaying a crucial product.

bingo!

I am sure the stress is unreal, but It is appreciated. You all stepped up when everyone was stepping down (or trying to sellout). I am hopeful this will turn into something great.

Solo, well kinda. I bring my pup with me. She is probably the best motivator. I have to do this in the morning, and the 5 mile hikes mean I need to get on the trail by 6:30am. Either way, once I get out of bed she’s up my ass to get going.
