  1. Anybody ever eaten at Stanley’s in Tyler? Thinking of stopping in on Monday. I know they’ve been on the top 50 before but would like a connoisseur’s opinion on the place.
  2. I work in the offshore vessel industry and we’re only in the GoM. Wages for mariners are getting silly. Thankfully we have cost escalation in our contracts with the supers so we can go back to them for increases in day rates whenever our costs get out of hand. Captain wages have gone up 35%-45% over the last year. Same for engineers. A lot of these offshore guys just left the industry during the downturn and shrink in GoM activity due to wages being deflated. The lack of deep water supply vessels is drastically low due to companies filing for bankruptcy and stacking vessels for the last 5 years while ours have kept humming due to our long term contracts. Costs to activate these stacked vessels is about a million per year out of service. Add in the time it’ll take to activate to service the surge in demand for the vessels and you’ll be entering new build pricing territory by Q2 2023. This is the first uptick in the industry that I’ve been a part of (I’m only 33). I entered the industry at the beginning of the downturn so I’ve never seen the rocket ship before.
  3. I remember there being an HEB catering to Mexican food in the SE Houston area but can’t find it on the googles. Anybody know if it closed down?
  4. 100% this. It was super early when I wrote my reply but should have said this.
  5. Probably. When I was doing IF, I had coffee creamer throughout the day. Was I truly 100% doing IF? No, but it kept me sane. If eating a banana helps you, do it. There are worse things you could eat.
  6. Looks like someone already has their order placed at bass pro.
  7. I don't disagree with you. I was just trying to follow the guy's logic.
  8. Folks that need/want to lose a lot of weight very quickly would really benefit from OMAD or strict intermittent fasting. Just my $.02. Good luck to all.
  9. Using this logic and knowing that asymptomatic folks who are vaxxed pass this thing along to anyone they come in contact with, wouldn’t it be better if no one got vaccinated so they had symptoms and recognized that and stayed home for a week?
  10. At your age, staying limber and flexible can help so much more than high intensity heavy weight exercise. Do stretching/yoga 4/5 days per week for about 15 minutes in the AM. You’re around my mom age and she does this. She has always had issues with her back but through routine stretching, she’s still up downhill skiing with the teenagers and 20 year olds. Thing is, older folks can still do all the things younger folks can do, only to a lesser extreme IF your joints and muscles are stretched appropriately. If you pull a muscle, your body has a harder time recovering than a 20 or 30 year old. You’re really doing what you need to be doing to be successful. Just keep your diet in check and you’re good!
  11. Truth is the best BBQ in Houston. Pinkerton's just isn't that good in my opinion and has gone downhill since they opened their place in San Antonio.
  12. Depends on how much you weigh honestly. I went from 315 lbs to 210 in about 9 months using IF.
  13. Had it in Jan 2021. Double vaxxed in April 2021 and not boosted. Tested negative before Christmas from PCR but felt like shit. I’m assuming it was the cron and just had a false negative test. If I had to choose, I’d rather catch omicron than the next variant as this one is pretty mild based on the available data. Give me all the natural immunity.
  14. Protein absorption. There's no conclusive evidence that points to having to spread out protein consumption throughout the day. So many different studies have been done that have said yes and no that it's inconclusive.
  15. I would feel like absolute shit if I ate 275g of protein in a day. You realllllly don’t need that much. It’s expensive and unnecessary. Stick to 200g (which is 800 calories) and fill in with 250g of carbs (1000 calories) and the remaining with fat (9 calories per gram).
  16. No it doesn’t. This has been proven as “bro science”. People with incredible disciple to count their macros can eat 50g of protein 4 times per day and lose weight. These folks control their fat intake and regulate carb intake up and down throughout the day to coincide with when they hit the gym. 275g of protein per day is an absolute ridiculous amount of protein and not necessary IMO.
  17. Just got my test back and kid’s test back. Both negative. 3 days later. Good turnaround time on these tests 😂. I managed to be given two take home tests and may take one this afternoon.
  18. Son's teacher popped positive yesterday (she wasn't at the school yesterday). Two or three kids are absent from his class too. My wife has been feeling unusually tired this last week as well. I have been feeling a bit off the last few days - just feeling a bit fatigued, muscles sore, almost like a hangover. Wife and I are double vaxxed back in April and had COVID in January/February 2021. Our son gave it to us via daycare. Wife supposed to be running the half marathon on Sunday. When we had the rona last year, the brain fog was absolutely awful - almost 3 weeks of some sort of "out of body" experience. Currently feeling just a bit of it for the last 24 hours or so. Kid isn't running a fever but maybe a little less energetic. We all 3 took PCRs yesterday and should get the results back this afternoon or tomorrow. We'll see.
  19. One of the many reasons why eating out while trying to lose weight is incredibly difficult. Good luck. If you do eat out, you can find chain restaurants have saved nutrition info in MFP. Correct, I just guess most of the time. I err on the side of putting in too much into MFP. If something is a cup and I do a heaping cup, I'll put in 1.25 cups. Nice job everybody on the progress so far. Keep at it!
  20. Corrigan, TX. 59 drops from 75 to 55 to 45 to 35 in a matter of a mile and a half going north from Houston to Tyler. Got busted for hitting 58 in a 55. Actually laughed at the cop when he starting writing the ticket.
  21. https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-democrats-inflation-blame-game-budget-carter-1970s-voters-denial-biden-powell-2022-midterms-11642008348?mod=hp_opin_pos_2#cxrecs_s Opinion piece from WSJ. To reitterate what someone said, it'll get worse before it gets better.
