@pete-carlos-9142 got news that he may need an SI joint fusion on his right side. His response: "You're not done living yet!" He weighed it honestly. The upside is possible relief from constant back pain. The downside is time laid up, then physio. Then he made a call. He wouldn't sit at home asking "why me?" He'd get out and walk. His rule from here: every day he's able to get out and do his walks is a win, until the day he goes under the knife. He says he loves walking and hiking, and puts it down to being Infantry. That's how you handle a setback. You don't wait for the surgery date to start acting like someone worth rebuilding. You take the one thing you can do today and you do it. You're not broken. You're under-recovered. Pete's showing what that looks like when the news isn't what you wanted. Pete, we're with you. Keep stacking those walks.

It's been decided. Our next workshop will be about PEPTIDES 💥 These are the clever little molecules that run the show in our bodies. You know one already - INSULIN INSULIN is a peptide HORMONE. All they are is chains of proteins that do stuff all over the body. The reason why we're going to look at them and learn as a community is because they're exploding in popularity due to the fact that WEGOVY or OZEMPIC are GLP-1 agonists which is a PEPTIDE! Veterans are being prescribed them left right and center. What are the benefits, the costs and the actual science surrounding them? That's what we're gonna cover. THIS WORKSHOP is FREE to everyone in the VGFAF and TEMPERED communities. WHEN: Oct 23rd, noon EST WHERE: Google Meets Let me know in the comments that you want to attend and I'll send you the sign up link. 👇

It's Friday. Does anyone doing SOBER OCTOBER have any insights they want to share? Maybe some weight loss wins? Let us know. Not to brag but I'm down 4lbs even after having 2 cheat pints this week NBD 😆
