I believe in myself.
Mind you I also believe the Lock Ness Monster is an ancient giant sturgeon. That ufo's may exist and that if intelligent life ever does try to contact us that proves they aren't as intelligent as they thought they were. I also believe it is ok to wear a cowboy hat, ( with built in led's for night ) a Hawaiian shirt camo shorts and running shoes, at the same time.
But aside from not caring what I'm wearing as long as it is functional I am a person who can generally count on himself. Lately I have been taking some steps to get healthier in the areas outside my illness with the idea of one. I will be more likely to be unharmed by an incident and two. The healthier you are the better you feel. So far I have changed my diet and a couple of other habits. Replace bad ones with good ones. Exercise is about to come up next. In the past when I have been very fit it has been almost pure exercise. Now it will be Exercise plus.
So for the next while one of my goals is weight reduction till body fat hits 25% then it will be build more muscle mass while keeping the body fat to 25%.
My speed goal is modest and I hope realistic 1/2 to 1 pound a week on average. I don't expect a straight line result either.
When I joked about going on a Gilligan's island I added a large amount of fruit to my diet. Now I am consuming mostly fruit in the form or smoothies with no limit. Plus at least one other sensible meal and a couple treats a week. I have noticed that as time goes on the craving for so called junk food has reduced. Now it is time to get me to reduce.
Ultimate goal break Methuselah's record for long life and also make it a happy one.
I will progress reports but not often enough to be boring once a month should be plenty.
Awesome Sid!! Good stuff, your bowels will be so healthy also :)

Once tried going vegetarian Mimi. Lost 7 pounds in fewerer days. Was not strong enough to do my job and didn't have the energy. Not everyone makes a good vegetarian. The first time I got married my wife was vegetarian and she used to without being asked make up separte meals. Then after about a year. She was eating meat. ( we had just moved ) I asked her why. Her relpy was during the move I looked at you friends and at mine. None of yours get sick mine are sick all the time. None of mine especially the male one could things you friend were running up the stairs one in each hand. The only vegetarians friend in shape are the ones from Karate and they are fish, milk and egg eaters, so don't coun't I'm going to try it. She stayed a meat eater. I have tried going to veg only a few times with the same results. Part of it is in a place like Canada to eat healthy as a vegetarian you are looking at a huge food bill. Plus it is something you really need to know what you are doing. ie corn will not digest on its's own it must be eaten with a legueme ( answer from my Doc on a camping trip to a question from a scout. You can quess the question )
ReplyDeletePS my goal for this weekend is to get to the gym ( I have one close so the agoraphobia will not be a problem. Lately it has been a major one. Bad enough to consider committing myself to hospital ) and start at about 10 miles a day. Then go up. ( my condition is good enough the only danger of 10 miles is boredome )
