  1. About 6 months ago, I was an avid stomach sleeper until I woke up at 3 AM with the worst back pain I have ever experienced in my life. Almost to the point of being in tears. I've slept on my side and back ever since.
  2. Years 0 - 3 absolutely suck. Years 4 and 5 have been pretty badass. Kids change you and make you realize what's really important in life: family, love, care, and support. My wife and I embraced the suck that were years 0 - 3 and have grown as a couple because of it. Our relationship is better now than it was before we had a kid due to long-term financial planning, priorities, and just a better open line of communication between the both of us.
  3. Surprisingly, I got into it when COVID hit and was impressed at my progress over a year. Went from not being able to run a mile to running 6 miles at a sub 9 min/mile pace. My wife just ran the Houston half and I told her I'd do it with her next year if she did a sub 2:20. She got 2:12 so we signed up that day. Running races helps me stay in good cardiovascular shape by forcing me to run because if I didn't have a race on the horizon, I wouldn't and I'd just go to the gym 6 days a week which can get boring. I also really enjoy running with my dog. She's a fantastic running buddy.
  4. Ran 4 miles today in 35 minutes. Very good pace for me at 8:48/mile. I've got a 10k in 3 weeks and signed up for the Houston half marathon next year.
  5. Antonini's subs in Webster is the best philly cheesesteak sandwich in the metro area. It's a gen in a strip mall that looks like a shithole but it's amazing.
  6. I've never been a huge fan of Luke. I stay across the street whenever I'm in NOLA (Intercon or Residence) and try it every so often and am disappointed frequently. Hope you enjoyed it.
  7. Wordle 264 4/6 ⬛⬛🟨⬛⬛ ⬛🟩🟩🟨⬛ ⬛🟩🟩🟨🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Tough one for me
  8. Didn’t realize there was a thread for this. Two deuces in two days. Guess you could say it’s a regular thing now. Wordle 260 2/6 🟩🟩⬛⬛🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  9. Will try this next time.
  10. I was walking through the meat coolers a few weeks ago and saw the Hill Country Fare brand fajita meat packages and grabbed one chicken and one beef. Froze them and remembered I had them a few days ago and got the beef out of the freezer. 10/10 would recommend. Slammed and went hard at some fajitas. Added some Valentina’s and took it to 11.
  11. I drive through San Angelo on my way back from the lease. I'll have to give this a shot next time. Thanks for the rec.
  12. Don't forget the metamucil.

    Please share these better and cheaper places.
  14. Buddy of mine got shingles at 25 years old or something. 100% stress related apparently.
  15. Quick question: who controls the House, Senate, and executive branch? Dems are now fingerpointing at republicans because they can’t actually agree on anything. It’s quite funny actually.
  16. This. Family of 3 here. We’ve been cooking at home so much that I haven’t really noticed a difference in my bank account associated with eating out. We eat out maybe once a month or every 6 weeks. We buy in bulk at Costco and have for the last 4 years. Our staple fruits and veggies are up a bit but the cow we had slaughtered 6 months ago is getting eaten. Probably will split a full cow with my folks in the next 4 months. Buying in bulk is definitely a way to get ahead of the inflation curve.
  17. My wife and I have been avid Texas Pecan coffee drinkers for the last 8 years. Just recently bought a bag of Tastes of the Hill Country and I’ve converted. HEB coffee is amazingly good. 1F1CB183-9434-416A-AF91-B9395DCC2E70.webp
  18. Tried Killens in pearland for lunch today. Brisket wasn’t as good as pinkertons and pinkerton’s wasn’t great in my opinion. It was decent though and hard to beat the price currently at $25/lb. Would rather just buy a brisket and do one myself honestly. Sausage was meh. If I go again, I’ll have to do a beef rib. Baked beans and cream corn were on point though.
  19. I've started doing more weighted dips on my push days. I bought a dip/pullup belt and throw a 45 pound plate do my weighted dips as a lower chest/delt exercise.
  20. 4 years ago, I had never been able to do a pull-up in my life. I did 10 yesterday in a row. I typically don’t do pull-ups but decided to give them a shot. Just cranked them out. Still holding at 180 lbs. I need to eat more. I’d like to be 190 or so by summer and have my bench up to 265 max. We shall see.
  21. Going to give the Pearland location a shot this weekend. I'll probably get a pound of brisket and a link and a side.
  22. So probably not broken for me. Just bruised. Thanks!
  23. I went running before work last week around 6 am and took a spill and landed on my right shoulder, hip and arm. Got some pretty nasty road rash to show for it. I believe I also managed to break a rib on my right side as well so I’ve got that going for me. A week later and still can’t properly stretch without pain in the affected rib. Anybody know the difference between a broken and bruised rib?
