why are you fat SE++

Wallhitter

I am not fat but I could stand to have more muscle. Just a lazy fuck I guess. Don't eat a huge amount (generally) and I walk most places so that's good. Spend too much time playing vidya games though.

150 is about where I'm at right now (also 6'1"), but I was around 120 for a while in hospital.

Gaining 20 pounds on nothing but hospital food is not something I recommend.

Man what? I was 112 at 6 feet when I was hospitalized and I gained 20 pounds the one week I was there and it was great. They fed me so much food. It was just really expensive

With the food at the hospital I was in, you were lucky if more than half wasn't gristle. But it was a public hospital.

The times I have been in the hospital I was sick enough that I did not give two shits what I was being fed.

Lost Salient

After careful thought it may be more accurate to rephrase that as "I was crazy enough with infection to not know what I was being fed."

Good luck bro

It's a pretty well put together set-up
I had to repeat a week due to illness and a week due to laziness but it always seemed doable

Shabooty

I got this sweet c25k app so I don't even got worry about timing the walking and jogging bits

That's how you know you're going to go through with it

Druhim

Man, it was not that big of a deal to just time it on my watch when I did it.

Shabooty

I did it

put a fork in me I'm done

Shabooty

I hope day 2 is easier

though today was not as hard as I thought it would be

Shabooty

yesterday before my run: "this site wants me me to stretch for at least 5 minutes before I go out. bah that's boring I'll only do it for a couple minutes, but probably not even that. what's the worst that can happen?"

today: "oh, this is pretty painful."


yeah that's a mistake I won't make again

The hospital we had our kids at had an amazing cafeteria. We actually went there to eat a couple of times just for the hell of it.

Of course, this place looked like a damn hotel inside.

Mysst

holy crap dude, how big is that place

Raijin Quickfoot

It's pretty big. Has that big open lobby on the bottom with a skylight 5 stories up. Then there are hallways that run all over the place beyond that. It's the nicest hospital I've ever been in.

I would live there if they left me.

That railing in the foreground goes over a little indoor river with fish.

Shit, that is what a hospital should look like!

The hospital I am delivering at has a lot of good amenities, excellent staff, and well-equipped rooms, but it is SO a hospital in its appearance. All small, dark (though very clean) corridors and scary looking apparatus and poky little waiting rooms.

The only hospital I've had to stay in (as opposed to just visit) was an old-fashioned type children's hospital with a ward with large windows and high ceilings. I was soooo disappointed when I learned I wasn't going to get to stay overnight. I thought it was so exciting to be having an operation!

Raijin Quickfoot

They also have one of the top NICU's in the country which made it a little easier when Morgan had to be in there for 11 days after he was born.

I want to go eat their chicken tenders right now...why did I move to Minnesota?!?!

Aphostile

I will say that working here has probably spoiled me on what a hospital can be for future times in my life when I get injured/need care.

Some of the nicest everythings I've seen in health care.

Out of curiosity do you know if this was a for-profit or NFP place?

i thought this article was really good: http://gawker.com/5894524/its-not-a-competition

the money quote

It does not matter what shape you are in today. It does not matter if you are pathetic fat weakling, or a champion powerlifter. All that matters is that you are slightly better tomorrow. If you are slightly better tomorrow than you are today, then you have won. You have won the fitness. And everyone else can go to hell.

Druhim

I normally have a low opinion of gawker sites, but yeah that nails the important part.

I judge every hospital by how swag their main cafeteria and entryway is.

If your cafeteria looks sad then all of your doctors must be terrible.

YoSoyTheWalrus

Judge them by how the doctor's cafeteria looks. Many hospitals do not give a fuck about the patient's amenities (after a certain point) because they've already got the contract with your insurer that insures you go there. They do have to worry about attracting doctors, though, so they generally have bomb-ass free spreads available to them.
