u/Omega_72

I'm contemplating picking these 11 peace dollars up - $50 each. Fair deal?

2020 FIRSTSTRIKE® $1 Amer Eagle MS70 arrived to add to the stack.

Finally got this beauty out for some wrist time and I still find myself questioning, is it too large? Is it a classic style or perhaps more along the sports watch style. I feel my wrist can carry the large ok and honestly, I don't really care to use the date window and I own the medium size as well. Oh well, I love the classic white dial in either case.

Acquired 1000.3 total ounces f Illinois silver, mostly ASE, maples and buffalo with some bars. Not the most glamorous pic though since there not spread out across a table but now I need to diversify and probably add in some gold either by purchasing or trading in silver nut i like how having 1000 ounces feels honestly:)

Have a great weekend.

Came across this one today and grabbed it.

Another great pickup today with these 6 Silver American Eagles all graded MS70.

Just received this one in the mail. It's a signed RUDY RUELTIGER, who if you may not know is the individual the movie Rudy was based on with the Univ. of Notre Dame football team. A great movie too by the way and a true Legends of Life.

First meal of the day - focusing on eating high protein.
Egg white omelette with thin slice of Colby cheese and field greens, cholula hot sauce and low fat cottage cheese. High protein here!

Ok, TRowe Price has had some tech issues clearly look at that daily gain! I wish :)
Positive side, my currently employer sponsored plan is very close to $1M which will be my next milestone as I've already exceeded it with my other external accounts but it will be great o see when that's achieved.
Keep racing to the finish and beyond!

A little Friday night organization and made some extra room for more. Time to add to the stack!

Yes, I splurged on this first year set of the Morgan and Peace USMint reissues but had to have them all. Still got a fair deal and another addition to my stack.

Picked this up on a local listing - $50

Hey everyone, looking for some feedback and advice on my current cutting phase.

Background & Health Pivot:
Earlier this year, I developed severe tinnitus (sounds like a field of crickets). After ENT visits and scans, I realized many things trigger it—meds, sodium, caffeine, alcohol, and even supplements. To manage it, I went cold turkey on everything. I stopped all prescriptions and supplements (Omega-3s, B12, iron, etc.) to use a process of elimination.
Honestly? I feel much better now. I am solely focused on clean eating and a consistent daily exercise routine.

The Current Stats & Routine:
Age/Height: 54M, 6'0"

Current Weight: 189.8 lbs (Hit this initial target a few weeks ago and have stalled here since).

Lifestyle: Office worker with heavy travel (lots of driving/flying), making consistency a challenge.

Diet: Tracked via MyFitnessPal. I aim for a 500-calorie deficit daily to lose ~1 lb/week. Watch my sodium closely.
Breakfast: Overnight steel-cut oats with almond milk, almond butter, ancient grains, berries/banana, Greek yogurt, and protein powder.some days I'll have eggs with spinach and/or mix of whole eggs and added egg whites.
Lunch/Dinner: High-protein and clean. Grilled chicken or tuna, brown rice, and veggies (zucchini, asparagus, squash). Occasionally will have lean beef. Ahi tuna poke bowl watermelon or berries & low fat cottage cheese No sweets.

Exercise: Daily dumbbell routines, some chair tai chi exercises, TRX suspension exercises, walking, and 80–100 incline push-ups daily. (Note: I do take a little creatine with my protein shake).

The Issue:
Even with a tracked 500-calorie deficit, my weight hasn't moved in a few weeks. I feel like I’m seeing visual progress in my abs, arms, shoulders, and legs. Could this stall just be body recomp (building muscle while losing fat)? Or am I missing something?
Losing weight at 54 is definitely a different beast than it was years ago, but I am fully committed. Based on my photos (June 26th vs. now), do you see progress? Any advice on breaking this plateau?

Added 11 MS70's to the silver stack this week. Average cost I paid is $75.90 but feel overall they were worth grabbing.

Keep stackin'!

Another addition to my numismatics portion of my stack. Pretty cool set.

I have to get ahold of myself especially with silver prices having declined as these USMint sets are still at a premium but I had to obtain the 2021's as I am building a current and ongoing collection of the modern Peace & Morgan's.
One more package in the mail :) then it's annual adding in to keep it going.

Keep stackin'!

Finally received these unique special date 1776-2026 250th Reverse Proof Morgan and Peace dollars. Another addition to the herd.

Received these beauties today and Wow! Definitely overpaid for them but just had to have a few with the special anniversary date range. One is going to my granddaughter who was born this past weekend.

Adding some proof and uncirculated sets to by treasure trove.
