How did the stackers do on their ~HealthAndFitness journeys today?

I did very well: Slept well? Check Stuck to fast? Check Ate healthy? Check Activity target? Checkarooni

The one oddity I need to work on is that I got a foot cramp while playing turtle tag with my daughter.

Wish you a speedy recovery on your foot cramp. Is turtle tag just tag on all fours? Do you have to go deliberately slower because you're a turtle? I used to chase my little one while crawling around the kitchen island, but he's outgrown that now. He gets me to chase him on the ice now, but it's becoming more and more apparent I won't be able to keep up with him very soon.

Finished doing my exercises late today, because I went to GameStop in an attempt to pickup the Switch 2 bundle that I pre-ordered. But when I arrived at the mall and saw the line of at least 200 people, I headed straight back to my car and drove home. I guess I'll try my luck again tomorrow after work. This thing seems to be so popular that even if you have a pre-order, you still have to wait a long time just to pick it up.

Today's stats:

150 push ups (3 sets of 50, the last two sets were done 5 minutes apart, so I was pretty tired towards the end of the third set.)
box steps for 20 minutes carrying 18 pounds of added weight in a backpack.
cold shower
13756 steps

It's normal tag, but when you get tagged you have to lay on your back with your feet in the air until someone spins you.

Almost all of that sounds great, but the cold shower sounds horrid.

Very fun!

I've been cold showering almost daily for about 3 years. I still really don't want to jump into the water stream and have to force myself to do so each time. Through this time, I find that I never adapt or become not afraid of the cold, I just learn how to deal with the discomfort.

Same re cold showers

That’s one of the only health things that I’ve just been unwilling to do, even though I’m fully convinced of the benefits.

I’ve done lots of cold plunges and swimming in cold water, but for some reason stepping under that cold stream is too much.

It's only difficult the first time. Cmon give it a try 😆

I have given them a first try and now I have confirmation of my suspicion that it never gets better.

Ever get cramps in your toe? Not fun.

Turtle tag sounds fun though.

I have gotten a toe cramp before and it was not fun. This one was super mild, almost more like the feeling right before a real cramp, but it lasted for a while.

You were on the edge of collapse

I was already on the ground. Clearly, you don't know how to play turtle tag.

Is that where you play leap frog?

My intern offered me a free leftover cheeseburger she saved for me from the free intern lunch and I couldn’t not eat it after my 2mi walk

Today I went back to the low-carb diet on which I thrive. I ate healthy. No exercise tho. Gotta move more tomorrow.
