@whoisashygirl No worries. Starbucks do seem to proliferate like weeds. Gig Harbor, which has a population of around 9,000, now has 8 Starbucks locations (4 real stores, 4 inside grocery stores).
@matigo Yup. The airlines treat it as a free carryon but TSA and similar agencies like to give it extra special treatment from time to time. ?
Just sent a note to my pulmonologist saying that I was officially discontinuing CPAP. Blood pressure has been good and trending downward with no noticeable decrease in sleep quality.
@matigo I'm not looking for rapid weight loss, which I know isn't sustainable.

@tomas I didn't particularly enjoy trying to do it in the 1990s either. Today must be an absolute minefield.
@gtwilson a little bit frustrating the weight is not following, but at end of the day, smaller is an improvement.
@variablepulserate Processed meat, yeah, probably best to avoid that.
The studies I've seen provide associational evidence at best that red meat in general is bad. Especially if you are avoiding carbohydrates.

Ok, maybe you'll gain muscle weight, but is that a bad thing? Too many carbs, on the other hand…
