@__voguish__ @BarryRoland19 Thank you kindly!

@Jet_Bak @BarryRoland19 Hey Great job! 👏🏾

Don't understand people who claim to walk 20k steps a day. Occasionally, on the weekends, when I tell my wife "let's go on a long walk", and we walk all day, and I look at my phone after hours and hours of walking, I'm at like 16,230 max. Is everyone just a liar?

@olderpugilist lol that’s what i said! I started off when I weighed around 300 carrying a 60 pound rucksack. My wife would say I met my limit when I laid down at night and groaned for 20 minutes 😆

@Jet_Bak How else can you find your present limit? 😉

Morning. Should be able to do some light jogging/walking today. The pace is turtle-y and I hate to take steps backwards, but sometimes you have to. Slept without my watch. Not wearing it this week. Might stop wearing it completely. Have a great week!

@olderpugilist lol well I know a lot about overdoing it. My wife could tell you some tales. Glad to hear you’re gonna get back at it.

@Jet_Bak Actually, learned a ton from every fight I’ve lost. This one too. I’m still running and thats better than the last twenty years. Just having to swallow a little pride. Rucks start again in February minus 20 pounds

@olderpugilist I understand. I’m fighting as well. But more just against myself and the 500 pound guy that’s still in there. Hang in there man. Our season is right around the corner

@Jet_Bak Nope. I’ve quit on my stool this winter. A Pyrrhic victory simply includes me running at all. It’s cool. I was full of hope and hubris. I’ll be fighting this battle until my last day on Earth. What a glorious day that will be. 😃🙃🥷🏼

@olderpugilist It didn’t win. It’s a 12 round championship fight. You’re taking a 10-9 round. Me too brother.

@Jet_Bak Well, I was definitely letting my daily steps goal drive me past what was sensible. I’ve gone from being determined to build this winter to surviving. I’ve run 5 miles in aggregate the last two days. Mostly pain free at least. Winter wins again. 😞

@kmhart67 @SchmittNYC lol thanks.

@Jet_Bak @SchmittNYC Good post…love your snoopy shirt, too ha

Where was this gene 75 years ago when the entire country was skinny?

@PumpkinPerson2 @SchmittNYC I’ve been about 200 for over a year. Close to a year and a half now. I’m usually 198 or so in the summer. 200 in the winter

@Jet_Bak @SchmittNYC so you've been the same weight you were in the picture for over a year?

@PumpkinPerson2 @SchmittNYC Total weight off. Over a year.

@Jet_Bak @SchmittNYC How long have you kept it off though?

@WonderMutt20 @SchmittNYC Thank you kindly

@Jet_Bak @SchmittNYC Nice work!

@bronco7870 @4Happymonday @BarryRoland19 True. My job is super autonomous abd at home which is why I can get it done.

@4Happymonday @Jet_Bak @BarryRoland19 I work at my home as a mechanic in my own garage and i can fet to 10k just moving about. I try to add a few short or 1 long walk to stay above 15 on average. Its doable that way. But if you work at home at a desk then it would be tough to get 6 or 7 k

@olderpugilist Ouch. Man those bed naps in Jammies are beautiful but a trap. My future self would be laying awake at night mad at me lol

It’s 2:20 pm. Im exhausted, sore and I’m putting on my jammers and getting in bed. Nobody better try and stop me either. 😳

@vis_sou @BarryRoland19 Oof. Yea I’m not that hard lol.

@Jet_Bak @BarryRoland19 The lack of monotony + the weight vest are great ideas. They feel much healthier than running with dumbbells (something a friend of mine practices)! 😁

@vis_sou @BarryRoland19 Certainly faster walking can help. No question. The 20k steps I do includes running and with a weight vest. But when I was huge just walking was a workout.

@BarryRoland19 @Jet_Bak Regular walks are beneficial, no doubt, but I think people forget that their PACE matters. A rather brisk walk would equal ca 7-8 kms per hour for a guy. 10K steps done like this > 20K steps done at home/workplace. Quality vs quantity.

@GeorgeL72139625 @SchmittNYC Definitely a lot of work but once you get rolling it just becomes routine

@Jet_Bak @SchmittNYC Congrats man. Incredible accomplishment and must have been a ton of work. You should be proud.

@my6girls2012 @SchmittNYC Thank you !

@Jet_Bak @SchmittNYC Wow👊🏻🤚🏻

@Hollyjeeny @BarryRoland19 Thank you Holly

@Jet_Bak @BarryRoland19 Wow, excellent work 🫡

@olderpugilist I can’t kill a man and I’m still old! lol.

My old ass is going for a short ruck. I’m also removing 10-15 pounds from my 50 pound pack. I tweaked my neck and I’m an old ass. This is the theme going forward here. I can still kill a man, but it’ll probably take longer…🤣

@Fear11B @BarryRoland19 Thanks. Took awhile but worth all of it

@PHClapp @BarryRoland19 Thank you

@Jet_Bak @BarryRoland19 Great stuff dude
