    No comments on Sit to Stand is important

    Washington Post has reminders of how to strengthen muscles as you age, including the sit-to-stand exercises I wrote about in 2009. I generated a Washington Post Gift link.

    Dealt with New Medical Center fear today to get a mole checked out! I feel accomplished.

    “There’s no fool like an old fool.” I just said that. About Rudy Giuliani and his insistence on defaming Ruby Freeman and Shea Moss. I’m totally justified in the assessment. I’m still surprised by my phrasing.

    As usual when Google has an app that just works, it’s being taken away. Google is pushing Podcast users to YouTube Music. I’m looking at other podcast app options for Android. At the moment I’ve installed AntennaPod, largely because it’s open source and free. I’ve had no problem finding my usual podcasts. Playback hasn’t been […]

    Today’s treadmill listening was season 4, episode 1 of “How We Survive” on water sourcing in Arizona. Then I switched to episodes 1028-1030 of “Make Me Smart.”

    Yay Aubrey Gordon for pointing out (in the Maintenance Phase podcast on Ozempic) that if she were to use Ozempic she would have a 50% chance of losing 15% of her body weight.  Which would take her from a morbidly obese BMI to …drumroll… a morbidly obese BMI. If a 15% weight loss would put […]

    I’ve heard many times that sweat helps humans stay cool in heat, and that we pump more blood to extremities to cool it before the blood returns to the body core. But today, listening to The Daily podcast, I realized that our pulse INCREASES as part of the cooling process. If your heart or circulation […]

    If you haven’t seen the quotes I posted on tumblr, I’ve just finished reading Madame Restell: The Life, Death, and Resurrection of Old New York’s Most Fabulous, Fearless, and Infamous Abortionist by Jennifer Wright. My overall impression is that the title could have been Madame Restell: Her Life and Times to make it clear that […]

    If I lived further south in the US than Seattle, I might not be working out at all today. (Yes, I’m a heat wimp.) But I’m actually in a north-of-Seattle suburb, so I’m wearing Teva sandals over my compression stockings. Other things I’m using: Not everyone needs these! I just find them helpful to me […]
