Like I stated, biking is just strictly transportation for me.
As I previously stated, I was trying to get to 200 lbs with exercise for a few years. I never reached my target weight because of my body type. I was trying to get big, I just wasn't trying to do it unnaturally like a pro wrestler on steroids in the '80s.
The irony is that I exceeded my target weight during this pandemic with no exercise because I'm around 215 lbs now. Now that I have the weight I wanted in an exceeded amount, I hope to maintain it correctly whenever I start exercising again.
The crazy thing is that I routinely eat cereal for breakfast, sometimes with something extra like toast, oatmeal or Pop·Tarts if I have any of that stuff. For lunch, I normally have sliced apples and salad. For dinner, it's canned food, frozen food or something packaged I can find inside my home. I cook occasionally.
I had to find a new style of jeans for the first time since the early 2000s as well. Took a while but i settled on Levis 541 Athletic flex
Perhaps you can educate me about that Levi's style because I've seen it in stores. I think they were the pants that George Kittle (49ers tight end) was photographed wearing on displays in stores.
I'm looking at getting some 469 Loose shorts for now. I didn't like the Standard shorts when I tried them on. I refuse to get the 501 style because those are shrink-to-fit, so they'll be tight by default.
I'm leaning toward getting some 550 for pants to maintain my looseness preference since Silvertab is discontinued.
You should post shoes you wear in specified threads for particular models because you'll receive more likes. They have a specified thread for these. And there's also a broad thread for the XIII. You'll basically increase your positive reactions by default based on those factors.
They pretty much closed down the Niketown stores and moved to new locations that ended up being rebranded with just the general Nike name.
That's what happened in L.A. when they closed the original Beverly Hills location. They moved to The Grove in Fairfax and it's now just a general Nike name that's a multilevel store.
therealest1 In general, I am saying should a mother/wife get time to go to the gym and work on her body or do you suggest she finds a way to stay home to make that happen?
That person who attributed those internet labels with any man who has reasonable/realistic expectations with a woman in a relationship was clearly clueless and uneducated because that's totally irrelevant to those terms.
How is a man who has reasonable expectations about what a woman should do in a relationship an "incel"? That internet term defines it as a man who has hostility toward women because he's frustrated with his inability to attract one. How is a man who reasonably expects a woman to work or do things that are conducive in a relationship being hostile?
What was ignorant about that post is that it's been the standard with how a productive relationship should work with both sides pitching in or contributing way before those terms/labels came up. It's called being a grown up and responsible with both sides. How the hell did he mix up hostility and expectations?
A wife/mom has every right to exercise if she wants to maintain a healthy lifestyle wherever it may be, but she still needs to do her part as a wife/mom. She can't just do things for herself and outright neglect her responsibilities as a wife/mom.
The issue I raised about my former schoolmate's mom being useless is that she completely neglected her responsibilities by going out frequently to hang out somewhere without cooking and cleaning and maintaining the home. She also neglected her responsibilities as a mom by not being there to give his younger brother and him rides. That made no sense because she didn't work, so she should have been available to drive them.
All that made her worthless and selfish because she only made time for herself and her leisurely lifestyle. She was clearly never an ideal wife/mom, so it's most likely the reason she was divorced with a son before she found a sucker (his dad) to remarry willing to enable her.
Most of the people I told about that relationship dynamic in the real world, younger and older, basically looked down on her and made the assessment that she wasn't an ideal wife/mom predicated on her enabled lifestyle.
I encourage any woman in a relationship to do things for herself because it's absolutely conducive for her to have independence and structure for herself, but she still needs to have a balance with responsibilities and her leisure activities or outlet. The man doing all the work while she has an easy life ain't right at all.
On a random note, I never knew this existed in the '90s despite being a huge fan of Method Man and me having an affinity with Nike.
