Small steps, Patriot!
Ditching wheat is a great start.
MEAL PLAN
2 meals a day, with black coffee in the morning. If you absolutely need breakfast, a couple of hard boiled eggs will do.
4-6oz of clean meat (we love salmon, or turkey patties or chicken breast etc).
1-2 cups of green vegetables. Basically any vegetable is fine, except tomatoes as they are inflammatory by nature.
A serving of avocado, a handful of nuts, 2 tablespoons of sugar free peanut butter, or a handful of olives.
Seasonings (without sugar) are fine, and sugar-free mustard and hot sauce, but no ketchup or mayo or anything like that.
If you crave a dessert (except for week 1, I recommend, for a sugar detox) here's my absolute favorite:
Freeze some bananas. Put them in the food processor with some cinnamon. Microwave some peanut butter until it's liquid (40 seconds). Add the peanut butter to the banana/cinnamon, and it's like ice cream. Fucking love that stuff.
1 gallon of water each day. Flavor with lemon juice if needed.
WORK OUT
3 or 4 days of full body workouts. We do a 30-40 minute circuit in the morning, that has 5 or 6 exercises focusing on each muscle group. 1 minute for each exercise, take a 1-2 minute break, and repeat 5 times. This might look something like:
1 minute of pushups,
1 minute of crunches,
1 minute of weighted squats,
1 minute of kettle bell swings,
1 minute of planking,
2 minute break. After a week or so, you can cut your break down to 30-60 seconds.
WALKING AND SHATAPAWALI
We have a dog, so we take him for a 15 minute walk in the morning, a 45 minute walk in the early evening before dinner, and another 15 minute walk before bed. Indians (from India) practice an after-dinner walk each evening called Shatapawali. We live in an area with many Indian families (mostly doctors, actually) and we've adopted this practice from them, and we've come to really look forward to our after-dinner stroll. Start here, and add the rest!
On at least one of our off-days (usually Saturday mornings), we make a point to walk at least 2 miles with the dog in a park or somewhere we can work with hills so we get some elevation. Also, I golf, so I like to walk as much as possible on the course.
Week 1: NO SUGAR AT ALL! Not even fruit.
Weeks 2-6: Add fruit. Things like apples, oranges and bananas, have one with each meal. Things like berries, a handful with each meal.
Weeks 7-8: Cut the fruit, cut the breakfast. Cut the vegetables down to 1 cup and your meat down to 4oz.
That's pretty much it. Technically you shouldn't drink alcohol, but we'll have a vodka soda with lime (or 2 or 3, lol) if we're drinking socially.
Absolutely! We started turning off phones by 10pm and I've been reading until I fall asleep every night. Currently finishing up Animal Farm, and I haven't decided what to read next.
Fair enough! I've found asparagus on the flattop griddle with a little bit of light oil and Adobo seasoning has been very delicious. But everybody has their own tastes.
Haha I get it! But in truth, the more you workout, the more energy you find you have. Start small!
Good for you, brother. Hard damned work is what it's all about.
Happy to help, friend. Let me know if you ever want more details or have any questions.
Absolutely! After cutting out almost all processed foods, I've noticed I don't even want them anymore.
Business insider. Okay.
I don't know what the fuck this is supposed to mean but I can clearly see II, IV and VII
These aren’t wins. They’re non-losses.
I want wins. Real ones. Big ones.
Wait.
Could Elon be on the Q team?
Yeah, like everything else in the country.
Clank. Like prison.
He’s truly a comedic genius
I'm not talking out of my ass. I've never had symptoms, and any test I've taken has come back negative.
I realize I can get COVID. I also realize I haven't gotten it.
I haven't had any antibody tests, but I've taken the bullshit covid tests as per an office requirement and they always came back negative. Haven't tested since Christmas, when my mom (vaxxed, not boosted) who was staying with me got Covid and I didn't.
I don't mention it, don't really talk about it. Masks are optional in the office. I opt never to wear one. They still do.
I don't say anything. I don't talk about it. I'm sure they realize it, at least maybe some do. But I'll allow them to keep getting boosted and feel like they're doing their part or whatever bullshit they want to believe. And I'll keep not being vaxxed and staying healthy.
I've had a handful of tests, as it was a requirement for awhile if I had ever been traveling. I've never tested positive, and I've certainly not had symptoms.
The moment all this shit started, I started losing respect for my coworkers. Immediately jumped on the bandwagon. Cornered me when it came to light that I would not be getting vaxxed. Prematurely blaming me for their grandmother's death (even though their grandmother is alive and I've never met her).
I handle it like I've handled my entire life. Normally. I don't wear a mask, I don't try to stay distanced. I live life and work completely normally.
