Start of Week 3 of DDP YOGA feeling good, already feeling changes in my flexibility and back/knee pain. Long road but I actually dont hate working out with this. Doing 4 days a week right now, up to 5 days in week 5.

Hoping after week 14 that we are able to move into the next program in the track.

Two weeks of DDP Yoga done and dusted, already seeing and feeling a difference. Not able to close a full fist but getting better than its been which is awesome.

Also slowly burning weight, got a new heart rate monitor specific for DDP yoga since Fitbit doesnt connect and its just as accurate.

Day 5(?) of DDP YOGA went through the smaller program for today, still a big help and already seeing things loosen up and do better body wise. Took the pups for a walk around the park later on and got half a mile walking around and only had to stop three times.

Gonna slowly work up to 3/4 a mile.

Day 4 of DDP Yoga and I am loving it, slightly higher intensity today as it was a longer exercise. Really helping to loosen things up and get my body back to moving better.

Day 3 of DDP Yoga, not high intensity but still hurt. Doing the chair force program right now and while its not intensive it is still painful and the right spot for me. Loosening up back/knees/feet and feeling good. 12 week program 4 days a week so we shall see in a few weeks how it goes.

Todays DDP Yoga session was easier, I realized I was probably on the wrong path yesterday so switched things up. Today was learning the moves and exercises so calmer, tomorrow starts the rest of the path.

DDP Yoga is no joke, started out on the wrong program so got that adjusted for tomorrow and beyond but I was able to do more of it than I thought although I am sore as hell right now.

Absolutely worth it and looking forward to continuing the program this year.

So got our VR Headsets, been playing around with them and having fun. Got a protective case and controller grips, USB-C to 3.5mm/USB-C splitter adapter coming so I can plug in headphones if needed and a third party cable link coming.

Anyone who has Quest + if you haven't played Moss yet do it!

So bit the bullet, decided to buy ourselves another gift for Christmas (originally said our pups were our gifts to ourselves) ended up ordering two Meta Quest 3S headsets. Should be here Monday, looking forward to using it to help with exercise and having fun a bit.

Well, what a night. Went to see my nephews Christmas Concert, good thing. Decided I was feeling good and wouldnt need my cane so left it home, start of issues...

Sat on school bleachers for an hour and a half, knees locked up, now limping massively and really needing cane now...

Damn it...

This is a good starter pack to check out if you are in the InfoSec space.
I have created a starter pack to shine light on organizations that make notable contributions back to the #infosec community in the form of generous free tiers, valuable webinars, trainings, resources, etc.

I am sure there are others, just DM or reply with any suggestions!

With all the possible issues coming up, I am so very glad that my wife was able to get her hysterectomy done. Cause as much of a fight as it was to get that done, I can't imagine how much harder it would have been if things go the Project 2025 route.

Not engaging with or blocking toxic people who call for the removal or death or non-existence of others isn’t intolerant. It isn’t “blocking off alternative viewpoints” it’s survival and good and if you’re arguing against it - you are part of the problem and one of them by enabling it.

This shit is just turning into 4-chan turned government... At this point we aren't even going to know that there is a comet coming for us because the worst 'brain trust' in the world running a department named after a memecoin are going to recommend getting rid of everyone that monitors that stuff.
