Holidays are quieter now due to avoiding covid in a world that has gone back to normal. I’m so grateful for the time I have with my parents — and that they are willing to quarantine to see me. I already can’t wait for Christmas 🎄❤️

One thing I’ve learned during the pandemic is many doctors do not keep up with the latest scientific literature, especially when information is coming so frequently about #covid long term damage. Listen to the scientists and the patients. We are living with it — we know when things aren’t right.

I accidentally walked 16 miles on my walking pad while working today. I was in the zone, didn’t realize how late it was til it was dark. I’d planned to only walk til lunch. 😂 Anyone else feel like a walking pad helps you hyperfocus on work? I have tunnel vision while on it! #walkingpad #lifehack

Former CDC director explains how COVID is not a respiratory disease. It’s a very important distinction and why so many of us are doing everything not to catch it (or catch it again). #maskup 😷

Eyeing the #maxprofitness for at-home strength training. I have basically zero space for barbells, etc. Anyone else have it? Thoughts on concentric-only training? That’s my main holdup from getting it … #weighttraining maxprofitness.com?sscid=b1k8_n...

Latest hobby: #strengthtraining. My challenge: Space. I have dumbbells (up to 25 lbs and I can get a couple more heavier ones). I’d love a barbell, plates and a bench, but I’m flat out of space for something like that. I thought about going barbell/resistance bands hybrid …. (🧵/1)

Anyone else sensitive to the effects of #barometricpressure with chronic illness? A friend taught me to check it about a year ago and lowering pressure often = crashes for me, while rising = energy. I didn’t have these crashes before getting suspected #longcovid 3 years ago.
