The importance of physical fitness and being healthy cannot be overstated. I know most of us are unvaxxed and all that, and that's of course great. But eating healthy, working out, and staying fit are equally - if not - more important.
Over the last 8 weeks, I started working out 3-4 days a week. All at home stuff with a set of dumbbells and a yoga mat, 30 minutes or so a day. I've been working on full body stuff.
Coupled with regular exercise, I've started eating much cleaner. A cup of black coffee and 2 meals a day. 4-6oz of clean meat (fish, beef, turkey or chicken), and 1-2 cups of green vegetables (brussels sprouts, asparagus, green beans), and some kind of healthy fat (avocado, mixed nuts, peanut butter). I give myself a cheat meal a week, where I'll allow myself to add bread or pasta or something sugary to an otherwise clean meal, but only once a week as a little gift to myself.
My fiance has been my partner on this plan, she's been a motivator, she's been a positive accountability partner, and, if I may say so, is looking reeeealllll good (not that she didn't already). Together we've lost over 30 pounds in 8 weeks and added abs and muscle tone to our bodies. (Side note: this makes appendix carry a lot more comfortable).
In these last 8 weeks, I've found I have more physical and mental energy. I've found my productivity at work and at home have skyrocketed. I've found my research has been more productive. I've found my sleep is deeper and more regenerative, my days are generally more positive, and my overall feeling and well-being is so much greater.
The truth is, they want us unhealthy. They want us obese, on their drugs, and not physically able. The relevancy in this forum is that when the shit ultimately hits the fan, and society collapses or there are riots or whatever, I know that we're going to be physically fit enough to make it through. If we have to run, we can run. If we have to fight, we can fight. If we have to build, we can build - because we're focusing on our physical fitness now.
Can you run, if you need to? Can you fight if you need to? Can you build if you need to?
I encourage all of you to start becoming physically fit, no matter your age or your current fitness level. It's never too late, you're never too old, and you're never too fat or too disabled. Your physical fitness is the number one way to expand your life expectancy and keep your brain functioning well.
Godspeed, anons. Love and prayers to all of you and your families.
Feel free to PM me if you'd like to learn more about our workout and diet program. I promise I'm not selling anything, ever.
I've always lived an active life but even at 43, I still walk at least 5 to 10 miles 5 or more times each week. I gave up most junk food years ago. I eat healthy, enjoy V8 juice and similar drinks. My one problem would be drinking coke daily still but I doubt I'll ever be willing to ditch that soda lol. I drink sweet tea still and lots of water also.
I recently finished up a pretty big remodel on my home so I know how to build a lot of things. I know how to build a home from the ground up since I've built large sheds which are not vastly different from building a home. I do 90% of my own mechanic work, etc. I don't think I'll have to deal with riots though since I live in FL.
I do things I do because I enjoy fixing things but also prefer doing things myself. I don't stick to any type of strict diet but I do eat mostly healthy. I live a healthy life because I want to be in good shape still when I'm in my 70s or 80s. Someone that lives an active and healthy life will not be able to do all those things the same way when they're 75 or 80 but because of living an active and healthy life, a person can be able to still live a full life at an old age.
People that live unhealthy and lazy lives will have far less mobility and energy once they get old.
