Looks like I will have to go beyond my 18:6 comfort zone.

It's a rainy day and I'm indoors, doom scrolling and clock watching. Maybe I can get lost in a good book.

About a mile into my morning walk and the pain was too much. It's either sciatica or some other nerve pain.

I follow a couple of channels that talk about fasting, but can't mention them. Any to follow or avoid?

that's all, not my cats and not looking for spay neuter clinics.

basically its inflammation of the nerve in the front of the leg, kind of like sciatica, but on the other side of your leg.

I've been applying DMSO for two days and will continue to see if it makes any difference.

There seems to be an endless variety of bikes to choose from. There's online, local bike shops or outlets like Costco.

Most bikes seem similar enough as far as speed and range go, so do you just buy the cheapest option or is it worth it to buy the higher priced from your lbs?

Only 9 weeks to go. Yesterday I was told there's a thirty minute limit at the pool so swimming there might be out. I prefer the ocean, but surf has been too rough.

The scale says that I'm down 7 lbs. I'm sure much of that is water, though with how much I'm drinking now, maybe only half of it is water weight.

Carnivore+OMAD+exercise are having the biggest effect on my body. My face definitely looks thinner. Just need that big old belly to start shrinking!

I'm not sure I have sciatica. When I went to my Dr I told them I was having sciatica pain so that's what they treated me for(PT)

The therapist said it sounded odd for sciatica pain, but did as he's told and gave me a basic routine to do at home.

Last night I googled my symptoms and came up with Meralgia paresthitica. This is just nerve pain in the front of the thigh, which is what I have. Often caused by wearing a belt or tight clothing or being overweight. I don't wear a belt, but I'm definitely overweight.

I was wearing bike shorts yesterday that are very tight and had more pain last night than usual.

I decided to try a topical treatment by rubbing a mix of DMSO and lidocaine on my thigh and to my surprise I felt some relief.

Whether it was from the ointment or massaging it in is unclear, but I'm hoping that I've stumbled upon the beginning of the end.

Maybe coincidence that I started a challenge last week that has lead me to lose weight or maybe deep down I knew that would help.

Searched for and found a 45 minute stretching video for beginners yesterday. To my surprise, A bunch of the comments were from people doing 75 hard.

There was only one stretch I couldn't do, but man, that's a workout!

slept better last night that I have in a long time.

did you do it? Workouts, water, reading, picture?

Did you struggle with anything today?

It's day 3 for me. My weight went up two pounds. Its Sunday here and it's tempting to have a " rest day" but I started this and I will finish it.

My knees were hurting last night because I over did it on my afternoon bike ride. This mornings workout was 15 minutes of light free weights followed by a 20 minute walk and another 15 minutes of weights. This afternoons bike ride will be in easy gears and I will make sure to limit it to 45 minutes.

Its 6:30 a.m. first workout of the day was a mix of weight lifting & yoga. Light weights and high reps.

Read too much😄. I lose track of all time when I'm reading.

Took the picture, but I'm going to post them all after the 75 days instead of every day.

Drank a good quarter of the gallon already. And I will probably go well over that. I'm in Hawaii and sweat all day.

I may start swimming again after my shoulder heals up from some minor surgery to remove skin cancer.

I got back on my bicycle for yesterday's workouts and it felt great.

Fasting energy is through the roof!

How are you all doing?

is it trademarked, copyrighted etc.?

I searched for a Sick Boi sticker/decal, but could only find them on other sites. Are they all just scammers?

There's none on Ren's merch
