About Me
I live in L.A. I work, I like birds and I have a book review website. I'm trying to stop my weight from going up and down throughout the year with a steadier diet and exercise plan. Going to need some luck, here.

You’re very right about those towels. I always think they’re a crock until I take it off and realize it’s a lot hotter without them. A fresh shake and they’re cold again.

a foam roller can help if you watch a good video and get guidance. Just take it easy and be careful.

Thanks. I figured that was pretty much it. But I was just hoping there was more, like some secret trick that makes all the difference. It’s getting easier. I think it is working. I had to use the AC during a rain storm, but I’ve avoided it other than that.

Envirotodd replied to the topic yoga mat thickness in the forum Gear Reviews 4 weeks ago
Believe it or not, a millimeter does make a difference. The difference between 4 mm and 6 mm is like night and day. If you do a lot of standing moves, you’ll want a thinner one because it will improve your stability. If you do a lot of work on the floor, like if you do a lot of restorative yoga, then you’ll likely want a thicker mat, pa…[Read more]

The weather in my area has switched from cool to very hot as though someone flicked a switch. I haven’t acclimated and I’m overheating very easily when I try to do my workouts. Any advice other than drinking water and wearing cool clothes? I’ve done those.

My bike needs a tune up but I’m trying to avoid going to any stores if I don’t have to because of social distancing. Is it safe for me to do my own tune ups and repairs with very little experience or am I asking for disaster?

What if you switch to tea instead of coffee? that way, you still get some caffeine but not nearly as much.

Have you ever tried a barre class? I tried one for the first time on the weekend. They don’t take a lot of space but they give you a surprisingly good workout.

Envirotodd replied to the topic My diet kills my energy in the forum Weight Loss with Health Problems 2 months, 3 weeks ago
That’s a good point. Water and adequate rest also have a lot to do with how awake you’re feeling and how tired you’ll be from digesting your meals.

Envirotodd replied to the topic supplement coffees in the forum Supplements Reviews 3 months ago
I suppose that makes sense. I found it appealing to drink coffee like usual instead of taking pills. It’s all the same really but I just wanted to avoid it if it was as easy as drinking coffee.

If you’re eating heavy meals or if you’re eating too much then it will likely pull down your energy. Like Penny said, you need to make sure there are some good carbs in there even if you’re not eating too many carbs.

are supplement coffees any good? I’ve seen slimming ones, ones with mushroom powders, etc. Are they just hype?

Days are getting longer and milder. Are you feeling any better? I hope so.

Envirotodd replied to the topic Yoga bag pointers: asking in the forum Gear Reviews 4 months, 1 week ago
Get one big enough for your mat to slide in easy. Look for organic cotton or another environmentally respectable fabric so you’re not bringing negative energy into your yoga class. Remember that mats come in different thicknesses, so if you have a thick one, you might need a roomier bag. Get one that isn’t open ended for the weather protection…[Read more]

Focus on gently stretching your hamstrings at least every other day, do the rest of your workouts as usual. Just make sure your hamstrings are getting attention but you’re not overdoing it and risking hurting yourself.

Envirotodd replied to the topic sling backpack in the forum Gear Reviews 4 months, 3 weeks ago
Yeah, it’s probably just how much you put in there. Light stuff is fine. Two straps will always be better. Two straps with a chest strap to link them or hip straps too, if you’re going for very heavy stuff like if you’re loaded with books, you carry your groceries home or you’re camping

Envirotodd replied to the topic Is cracking your knuckles bad for you in the forum Health Forums 5 months ago
I don’t think there’s any research. I was watching a YouTube about that a cuople of months ago and I think the only research they did was some doctor cracked knuckles on one hand but not the other for a huge number of years and didn’t have arthritis from it. That said, there was a decrease in overall hand strenght and grip. So it may have an…[Read more]

I’ve tried that one. I found it pretty easy to follow. I just pushed breakfast to more of a brunch kind of time and then just ate normally within that window of 8 hours.

Thank you. It hadn’t occurred to me to take it as a part of a multivitamin and let that do all the combining and measuring for me. I’ll check out what’s available to me and see how much B12 I can get from that. Thanks
