    Mortons Neuroma

    Thanks for all the help. I have incorporated the exercises yall listed and some others. I realized the boots I rucked in most of the time must be main cause of the pain. I have changed to rucking in some minimalist training shoes for the time being. I am going to try my hunting boots on a...

    HIIT workouts - Youtube videos

    I went on my first elk hunt last year and I felt like I had trained sufficiently in strength and endurance but I was unable to get my breath as fast as I would have liked. I plan to go again in 2023. I plan to buy a Rogue Echo or Titan Fan Bike near the end of 2022 for HIIT workouts. I do not...

    Construction management

    I also had the desire to continue challenging myself at work and it eventually led to burnout. Now I also try to challenge myself by becoming more physically fit, being a better father and husband, as well as other physical and spiritual challenges. I think as long as I am being challenged in...

    Construction management

    I would not recommend the superintendent route for a large GC, working for a smaller GC may allow you to have a life. Working as a superintendent for a large GC will most likely lead to burnout. Being away from home 13+hours a day is common. You could probably end up working 15-20 Saturdays...

    Unexpected side benefit of "Intermittent Fasting"

    Does anyone still use creating?

    Beginning a healthy diet

    I found the best thing that has kept me from caving to urges was fasting. I started with 16:8 intermittent fasting and now I dont eat til around 6pm several days a week. I also think it is best to do a slow gradual change. I cut out peanut butter, kefir, granola bars, OJ, and Sunday...
