I remember you mentioned taking up jump rope not that long ago, and the world of difference it was doing for you then. It is good for cardio & coordination. Growing up back in the late 80's/early 90's, my family had a barebones rowing machine. I used it while watching television sometimes as did my mother. No idea what became of the thing. I would not mind getting back into one since you brought it up.
That is incredible progress and a healthy habit to have. I'm not quite forty just yet. But no time like the present to get back into a routine that will do me good before hitting the statistically midpoint of life.
After my change of diet and various spurts of fasting over the course of a little more than a year, I should be in the same boat as you and allow myself to have larger portioned meals for that energy to exercise and just plain function for the day. Main problem still being the balancing act in digesting different dishes throughout the week for proper nutrition and all that jazz.
I suppose I have been doing well so far to give myself credit. "Practice makes better", as they say. And I do feel like a better version of myself.
I spot about five distinct shades to those eggs which, best of an answer I could find, has to do with genetics making me wonder how many different breeds of chicken you have. I never had the opportunity to raise any of my own (while my mother did on her grandpa's farm long ago), and the only eggs I happen to see are store brought cartons filled with all white or slightly tan. Seeing such natural variance in a batch is fascinating to me.
