I don’t often thumb down posts but this was dumber than ghosts attempt at pub quiz night.

@badradger saidKeep in mind you were under medical supervision while doing this not at home alone! 😉

@badradger saidKey word here is "allowed" to do. Keep it up, you will do yourself a lot of good. They have already found out what your limit is so this is a good thing. You can improve upon it a little at a time though.

We'll badger you for updates so you don't slacken off!
@badradger saidVery solid. Keep it up. You are seeing benefits already which helps give you motivation to stay on track. I commend your efforts. Most Americans just stay in front of the TV and keep stuffing their faces with garbage night and day.
