And quit eating all that sh!t.
Start small and endeavor to get better every day.
Sincerely
I love being lectured to.
Keep posting these. I may finally get off the couch and cut back on bon bons and beer. Well, the bob bons anyway.
I comment on these threads because I’m compassionate and empathetic I don’t want you to feel alone in wasting your time.
Although I have to say I crave food a little less every week. And I really enjoy being able to stand up from my chair without pushing myself off the armrests, so that's encouragement.
salad with protein (meat, chicken, hard boild eggs) is the best diet.
Bacon and eggs for breakfast.
Jello at least once a week. Beets as much as you can stomach (pickled beets are a great snack)
NO WHEAT AT ALL!!!! (your joints will thank you when they don’t hurt anymore)
I lost 40 pounds like nothing
Just getting on my 10-speed and riding a few miles a week has helped a lot. Luckily, I live in a hilly area with a lot of inclines.
Two words: Intermittent Fasting!
It’s basically a Noom ad disguised as an article but incremental changes are the best way to go imo
I'll eat whatever I want, thank you anyway.
One of my fave cartoons involves a guy yelling “No you idiot, one word, one!” at another painting “psycho the rapist” on a door.
Keep ‘em up - they’re motivation that some folks need to hear.
Found myself in same boat a couple years ago, 40+ pounds overweight and a-gainin’. Decided to do a simple exercise and keep count of calories consumed in an average week. I was so shocked after just three days I quit doing that and figured out what I could stand to eat that would keep me under 1,800 a day, and started walking. Took time, but seeing the weight come off was the best motivator of all.
“Eating all that sh!t” sounds rough as a cob, but it’s utterly true - really look at what’s going in the pie-hole and how much...us middle-age guys don’t need to eat like hay-bale tossing teens.
Health, Vitality, and Immunity are Conservative virtues. You can not have self-sufficiency without them.
Turn the food pyramid upside down. Problem solved.
Look into what happened to the former “Biggest Loser” contestants before you decide to go down the “eat less, move more” path as your sole strategy for losing weight.
Have to dump three things: potatoes, bread, and beer. You can eat almost anything else - even some chocolate - but those three do immense damage to any weight loss plan.
Growing up, I was an all-star athlete in multiple sports so “exercise” was a way of life.
At 28, I became a single dad with 2 little girls (4 and 1) and between that and completing my BS/MBA, I had no time for exercise and added 30+ lbs.
At 35, I joined a fitness club as a gift to myself for the academic achievements and slowly got back to my “normal”. I got my girls into a fitness routine, too.
In 3 weeks, I’ll be 72 and looking back, joining that fitness club and working out 4-5 times a week was one of the best thing I’ve ever done for myself.
I drink 50-60oz of water, eat a LOT of grilled chicken breasts and extra lean ground sirloin 2x week. I visit my fitness club 5-6 times a week and ALWAYS do a 9-11 minute HIIT program on an elliptical. A quality heart rate strap and phone app will maximize your efforts.
All that said, it is hard to maintain a healthy fitness level as one ages...but I simply cannot allow myself to become a couch potato.
So good luck to everyone...just keep on truckin’...
“I post these silly articles in the hope that even one of you will decide to get up off their ass and move.
And quit eating all that sh!t.”
Why bother?
Let the lazy phuckers die off,
thin the herd. improve the gene pool. make a spot for a younger one to take a job. more dating options.
It’s all good.
I love hiking and I love playing ice hockey. I play in a league that has college kids my son’s age, so I’m motivated to stay in shape so I don’t get completely embarrassed
I have found eliminating sugar from my diet has helped the most.
There are strategies to lose weight that work. Yours is useless
It’s quite easy. When you think of eating something that’s not going to be good for you, I just ask myself “will this make it harder to wipe out commies”. If the answer is yes, don’t eat it, no, then eat it. Same thing with outdoor activities etc. Ask yourself if these pushups will make it easier to say goodbye to commies. It’s great motivation.
Also, it doesn’t hurt that nobody wants to run into a regimental brother and look like you escaped from the walrus exhibit.
Eat a banana for breakfast.
I find it goes really well with coffee.
