I agree, the walking is definitely helping, not that food intake isn't important, but any sustained cardio for a decent amount of time daily should improve the insulin resistance in your body and be more forgiving on what you are putting into it. I've tried to go by 30 minutes a day at least, currently do around 45 mins 5 days a week, the other 2 at least 15-20 mins of exercise, although all at once. I'm not perfect though and could do better throughout the day, needing to be behind a computer a lot for work isn't always helpful, but I keep myself active.

My grandmother would always tell me to just take a 10 minute walk after larger meals, which gets in 30 minutes after 3 meals. I've never been a big walker myself, but she did it after almost every meal, just walked around the neighborhood, or would do something outside, gardening, yard work, etc. Later in her life she added in a stationary bike because I think she just couldn't keep up with the walking around, but primarily was always a walker and tried to keep herself moving and active.

I think you would be considered a pre-diabetic at this point, which shouldn't change what you are doing, without maintaining it you will likely become a diabetic, especially if there is any family history, but it sounds like you're doing the right things to avoid it so keep it up and don't let your guard down.

As for the PoS Sam Bankman-Fried, I think I was pretty accurate with the idiocracy video 2 years ago, except he doesn't have to escape, just a bunch of dumb morons going to let him out.

Everyone has the liberty to choose what he/she want to eat. The point need to be kept in mind is that it's your mouth that will decide how your entire body will be like. You eat healthy things, your body remain healthy and vice versa. Just like you put bad fuel in your car, the engine broke down. It's also a reality that most of us don't take necessary precautions in advance unless we develop some kind of disorder. So it's up to everyone of us that which track we want to follow as nobody is stopping us.


White flour (or plain flour), Olive oil, sugar, yeast and salt, that's what I used at home for making pizza crust. Fast food restaurants main goal is do develop taste which people like and for that they used different processed things. The quantity of sugar added in pizza crust at restaurant is enormous to raise the crust. I do add sugar but in moderate quantity.  
Rest the topping includes mainly cheese along with vegetables, so they have much to do with increasing your blood sugar.  


Yes I remember you told that you don't have any diabetes. To me this is the fantastic approach towards your health that even you don't have developed any disorder in your body still you do necessary precautions to keep yourself fit. Keeping yourself away from junk is the biggest challenge these days specially for kids. If you are successful in keeping yourself away from Junk then you need an applause for doing the real hard work.
  

Explanation
Chartbuddy thanks talkimg.com

 For some reason, talkimg.com started adding the size tags by default.  If you know what you're doing, you can still change them when you post but maybe some people don't understand tags?

Is it just me or it seems that the number of pages declined somehow?
Some OGs seem to be gone (again).

I suspect that $90-108K fluctuation is not exciting enough for them.
Or, maybe, some of them sold out significant chunks as various sites report whale selling activity going into the EOY, compensated by ETF and Saylor buying, of course.

I wonder what 2025 would bring.
I suspect there would be a lot of turbulence going both ways....because of multiple factors.
Interestingly, the "allin" podcast had a paradoxical take on T. victory saying that it would increase the "socialism", despite a predicted rapidly growing economy (they said that 5% growth is possible sometime in the next 4-5 years).

Their thesis was:
a. Coming backlash against policies favoring the 'elites', such as tax sunset repeal, etc.
b. AI starts "eating" into employment, so large money redistribution would be needed OR demanded.
c. Tariffs would cause a rapid rise in inflation, so in order not to impoverish a large swath of the population, some "programs" would be needed (or demanded).

re bitcoin: I suspect that ETFs would "buffer" any rapid rise...witness BlackRock recently selling a large chunk.
Do i care? Yes and no...yes, since i don't like "manipulation" by external entities...no, because these are just wiggles.
If the purpose is to just smooth it out, I am OK with 50% (100%?) average yearly growth instead of 400% surges followed by 70-80% busts.

The worst thing is when both height and width tags are modified, which alters the original image's aspect ratio, resulting in monstrosities like this:

All I ever do (usually) is change the height to 420 and delete the width. I’m actually surprised nobody has ever commented on it before but I guess I’m the only one with a juvenile sense of humor. I do think it is a bit unnecessary to include both the height and width, but maybe some browsers have difficulty with it or something.

lol...that was my "grey hair" talking.
That said..I was feeling a bit down when 69K became 15.7.

For real. What would we do without dips to buy? What would we spend our money on if we couldn’t buy the dip? What are we supposed to do, buy giant houses, fancy trucks, and ridiculously diamond covered jewelry? OK, but what about after we’ve done that. What are we supposed to buy then?

First Sunday has come.
May the New Year bring you wealth,
And, most of all, health!

Speaking of good health,
Keep walking, stay fit, eat well,
And mind your OPSEC!

Homer's still at it.
Coronal mass ejection.
Sounds kinda kinky!

Saylor keeps buying.
BlackRock is following suit.
Syria joins in!

Thread SCRAM button pressed!
Image size violations!
X copy-pasting!

Sideways is boring,
But hang tight and don't despair.
Reverse cowgirl soon!

This year it will come.
Two hundred thousand dollars.
The bigliest pump!
