Personal Goals

Not really because it's 15 minutes a day so if I had the cap I would use it at the house. So I could use it in the morning, afternoon or in the evening.

Only cap I would wear as a uber driver is either of a Sports team, stocking cap, or a super hero cap.

This Uber job sounds interesting -- has there been a thread about it on VN - anyone else on VN a driver ?

I found out this week flaxseeds makes hair strong and healthy, plus grow fast.
I bought a bag of flaxseeds from a GNC, and amazing it doesn't need to be refrigerated.
I'll be adding this to my water, and on top of bread.

I could make money as a Uber driver which can help me reach the copyright money for super heroes and supporting cast faster than saving up each week. Plus money for a laser cap, other running shoes plus other things.
It may be the funnest job I can think of, and 1 of the easiest. All that remains currently for me to become a uber driver is a vehicle inspection with that paper of the results uploaded.



Plus with flexible hours since you are your own boss, plus paid every day for all rides as a uber driver you give those are excellent benefits.

Since you've done so much research into hair growth, you should write that into a superhero. Maybe he has the power to grow hair at lightning speed (for technical reasons you could explain) or to fire it out like quills or something. And maybe his alter ego drives for Uber when he's not fighting crime with his glorious tresses. Hey, maybe his name could be Hairstorm, that'd be cool.

I hereby swear before all of VN not to seek royalties. You're free and clear.

No I really can't recall any volnation member saying their occupation is a uber driver or some kind of driver.

I don't recall any Uber driver thread on VN which I assume has to do with friends and associates haven't told them about it along with they haven't heard of it or used it as in getting a ride from a uber driver.

So I guess the occupation uber driver is basically like a obscure movie for most of Volnation.

I recall Mike Greenberg of ESPN Mike and Mike taking about it on a commercial on the radio so I assume also most vn members haven't heard it advertised on the radio.
That be shocking if true because I wouldn't doubt more than a dozen VN members listen to espn radio mostly update of sports games, listen to Mike and Mike,
and also mostly to hear sports games.

On November 7th I went for my annual checkup and my doctor told me ”your numbers (cholesterol, BP, etc) are elevated because you're fat. Lose weight so your numbers will follow and you'll see your kids grow up." It's why I'm happy to have found this doctor. Many wouldn't be as candid

So the next day I started walking laps around my neighborhood at 5am every morning. Did that for an few weeks and then decided to run. I'm now up to 3mi every morning before my family is up and do other exercises at the Y 2-3 days a week. We've also gone to a hflc keto diet which has been really easy. So far I'm down 30lbs since my doctor visit and feel much better.

My personal goal is to get down to what they consider a normal bpi (which is still about 40lbs away) by my birthday in May. The real goal is to not let this happen to my body again. Much harder and a lot less fun to take the weight off.

Wow..... that's impressive PJ. ... not just the weight loss..... the getting up st 5 a.m. shows how dedicated you really are. Keep it up bro.....

I'll assume if PM was still avaliable you would use that.

Great idea I think I do know of a power that would make it logical he could use it to fastly regrow hair whether his, or another human, or if he needs to use it as a damaging offensive power.
Characters in Comic books do have great powers which can be used in multiple ways.
Now hypothetical if "Hailstorm" does get used I imagine I could create a Super hero name or create 1 using a existing word or words.

And Hailstorm is a terrific name for a comic book character which I imagine would be a powerhouse character in the league of Superman, Thor, Captain Marvel the Mightiest Mortal, etc.

I think if there were a superhero named Pismonque he'd likely be the dashing sort, debonair even, with a winning smile and a certain je ne sais quoi. His superpower would be the ability to lower men's standards and exceed them, bringing praise and notoriety with little investment. A hero for the modern age.

So he would be exceeding mens expectations.
Pretty impressive.

I've lost 120 lbs since the summer of 2015. I run 4 days a week. Drink water, coffee, and the occasional whiskey drink. I don't eat after 8p. I don't eat many carbs at night. I focused on portion control and cut out the fast food. It isn't rocket science. I'm checking in currently at 6'5 198lbs. It's a mind set.

Dude, you're a rail. Good on ya.

 

[utvolpj]

Congrats man.

As somebody who has been trying diets for almost a decade and has kept 30 lbs off for over two years, I will give you my unsolicited diet advice:

If you get tired of keto, just switch to counting calories and get a wide variety of foods that leave you satisfied. Most hard diets don't work in the long run because you get burnt out and go back to your old habits. The trick is to make your new habits into permanent, sustainable habits. Take about a month to count calories, see how your weight responds, and then figure out what your maintenance is. Mine is 2400 calories. As long as I don't eat more than that, I won't gain weight. It's like clockwork. I am never hungry if I do my diet right (except maybe on days where I do cardio, as opposed to lifting).

Figuring out the right food substitutions makes all the difference. I used to eat 120 calorie bread on my sandwiches. Sarah Lee makes WW for 60 calories. I often eat two sandwiches a day, so that's 240 calories saved right there, and I didn't even notice the difference.

I'm always looking for advice that I can take and use. It's why I put it out there for all to read plus it gives others a chance to share. Losing weight is tough because there is no one formula that meets everyone's goals

Thanks CP. I actually caught a video from Tony Robbins where he discussed purposefully putting his body through stress so when it happened unexpectedly he wouldn't freak out. Has definitely helped me relax a bit and I'm happier

 

[Orange Blazer]

Yea. I probably need to add a few lbs now but Its harder than I thought it would be.

is this one of your super heroes ?

 

[firestorm]

No.
I've never submitted characters I created to Image, dc comics, marvel, etc.

 

[pismonque]

No.

I think you should create a character called The Literalist.

 

[firestorm]

I think you should create a character called The Literalist.

Nice a unmistakable self explanatory name.

Also I could create charactes that are intentionally meant to be lame
Wow why not yep I'll create super villains that are intentionally lame.

 

[utvolpj]

I am now considered overweight based on bmi! May sound bad but it's a great step up from morbidly obese

Got my 3mi under 30min and will run a 5k in 2wks. Ran the same one last year in 36min but was carrying almost 40lbs more

 

[508mikey]

No.
Also "It's a process Follicle by Follicle " sounds a lot oike it borrowed from Butch Jones.
Follicle by Follicle replacing Brick by Brick.

Well great news I'll be ordering a hair regrowth shampoo from anazon. It has biotin, emu oil, and castor oil all for ingredients all of which needed to help hair regrowth.
I'll be ordering it from amazon this Thursday.

Plus a new hair in the top front left part of my head.

Other goals
1. Finish writing the 1st Private Investigator book I started of a PI Book Series.
I've started multiple books but never wrote a entire book. No doubt I'll be surprised by the ending, along with very happy that I wrote a entire book.
It's a challenge and something new. Plus foreshadowing including of future characters in the 1st book possibly.


2. Save up weekly for the Copyright money of my Super heroes.
It costs 500 dollars to copyright a character and the supporting characters for comic books. I know the 1st super hero I'll be copyrighting.

Is the shampoo growing hair yet ?

 

[firestorm]

Is the shampoo growing hair yet ?

Yep can see growth on the front sides and top front.

Also I'm going to start using emu oil for sides and other parts of my hair and scalp to seeif it will help hair regrowth.

Also it's great to read books and be obsessed with recalling every detail.
I can recall reading the comic book mini series paperback Green Lantern Rebirth along with the reasons why its a amazing memorable story.

Most likely the same with a book if it's a good or great book.

I started reading Worth Dying for a Jack Reacher book.
The associated press isn't wrong it's a difficult book to put down, and a amazing amount of suspense in 1 book.
Jack Reacher is in Nebraska wanting to find answers of a decades old case of a missing child, the Duncans clan profiting from human trafficking most likely have the answers and no doubt will kill him to keep him from finding out the ugly truth.
The Duncans clan that has terrified a entire county into submission no doubt mafia style tactics is playing with fire deciding to fight and kill a elite badass ex army soldier Jack Reacher easier said than done.
In the style of the great action movie movie Marked for Death Reacher is a wrecking ball for this Syndicate, and with the Duncans being at the bottom of a Criminal rope the human trafficking that stretches halfway across the world no doubt it will be 1 amazing exciting story.

maybe I will try the shampoo I got an Amazon gift card waiting to spend - what was it called again ?

Lipogaine the big 3.

I can't recall writing a issue of a super hero comic books that has a intentional terrible super villain so it's going to be exciting.

That's awesome. I ride a bike in the summer months but the last two years I've been a complete lard ass in the fall and winter months. You've motivated me to get back in the gym lifting weights again for the first time in 5-6 years.

Give us some examples of an unintentional terrible super villian.

Great to read that and glad I could help somehow. Just have to get yourself past the "this sucks ass" phase and it will happen
