In the Summer of 2019, weighing in at approximately 264 pounds, I was completely disgusted with myself physically. I cleaned up my diet a bit, and by December I was down to about 242. I still wasn't happy.

I kicked it into high gear. Got a gym membership, and started working out religiously. Then COVID hit, and I was no longer able to go the gym (March 2020). I kept up with my diet, did some moderate body weight exercises during the first lockdown, and got my weight down to about 220. I was on the right track.

In June of 2020, I read a book called "Can't Hurt Me" by a former Navy Seal and Endurance Athlete named David Goggins. The book made me realize that I was capable of doing a lot more than I thought I could.

I took up running, and continued with a regime of body weight exercises. I managed to secure some weights. I hit it hard. By November of 2020, I was running a 5k plus daily and even did a fundraiser for the American Cancer Society (run 60 miles in November) - I raised over $500 for charity for a dear friend with terminal breast cancer. Unfortunately she died, but she was an inspiration to me.

Today, at 45 years old, I am in the best shape of my life. I have lost about 90lbs, and currently weigh about 175, give or take a few pounds. I have gained a tremendous amount of muscle, and I look better than I did in my 20's.

You can't take the path of least resistance. You have to take the path of MOST resistance.

The house my wife and I bought back in September is almost renovated enough for us to move in. Another couple weeks tops before we start moving in. Kitchen won't be done for awhile -won't have countertops :( but fuck it we'll make it work.

It was a 1950 house that was almost all original. So new plumbing, electrical. Replaced some flooring, redid the bathroom tiles, refinished the hardwoods and the metal kitchen cabinets.

I’ve lost 17 pounds over the last 44 days and I feel way better. More energy, getting some old strength back, and not cheating. Myfitnesspal, monitoring calories and macros, circuit training 4x a week with s touch of HIIT cardio and only supplement is plant-based protein powder. No starving.

Royals are about to get underway - splurged on the MLBtv deal - it's nice that most games start at 5pm here on the west coast, so it's a nice transition to have the game on after work, etc.

Looking forward to the royals surprising some folks....

Weather is improving, staying lighter out longer...

Good days ahead.

I made a metric fuckton of money last year, paid off everything I have but house, my relationship with my wife is at an all time peak, and I am just pretty fuckin happy.

[scho63]

Just ordered 48 cigars rated 92 or better, including a cigar of the year 2019, for $312 that should be arriving in 3-4 days.

Redid my entire cell phone set up from scratch as changing my Google password online first was a colossal mistake. My phone wouldn't connect to Google servers and had to do a factory reset. Fucking giant pain in the ass but lovey new icons and all working well.

Just ate some excellent Chinese food.

All good here.....

[chinaski]

Well shit. You win. Well done.

Thanks man, it has been an incredible journey and a massive lifestyle change. The discipline required has been a challenge, even now. I still run every single day. Usually a 5k run about 6 days a week, and then a lighter recovery run on my rest day. I try to fit in a 10k+ run a few times a month, and am still working toward the half-marathon goal. I hit it every single day.

I still have a drinking habit, that's one thing I need to work on. I didn't give up alcohol. I don't know if I want to yet, but I probably should.

I'm a small dude. A hard gainer, as my friend Rob Elsey would say. I've tried real hard to workout and gain but it's just too much effort for little return. Besides, I'm glorious just the way I am.

I found it easy to stop drinking. Now it's just a rare casual thing, maybe once a month if I'm out but I've gotten quite used to drinking tea at bars and such. Once you stop for a bit, then drink, the hangover is great motivation to not drink anymore again.

[Baby Lee]

Still here, . . . gravity of that status pending.

Just watch repetitive stress injuries and buy shoes before they wear out. The support will wear out before the sole will.

[eDave]

Thank You, appreciate that.

That sounded arrogant so my apologies. It was easy for me because I wanted too. I just stopped.

I still smoke weed like a motherfucker though and that's perfectly OK.

Damn I tell you what. Life is going great right now. Verry soon Ill be getting the Covid shot. I shot a 68 in golf (from the whites but still counts). Im gonna have a 20k March for poker unless I lose a bunch tonight. And Bitcoin is damn near a all time high. Life is good baby.

This may sound like some crazy hippie stuff, but hot yoga will really help with your running as well as your workouts. The scenery is generally pretty good in this classes, too. :)

I suppose I met a lot of celebs when I was skycaping. The secret to celebrities is that they are just fucking people with a fucking job. Don't wig out and everything is cool. I gave Sammy Hagar the Mexican Hello at KCI and he reciprocated. Was a cool moment for both of us.

Too old for that shit! LOL.

I'm keeping up, and yeah man. It has been a mental challenge to keep going after all these months. I don't want to be fat anymore. Side note, I can pretty much eat whatever I want now, within reason. But I behave myself, that's one thing that a lot of folks don't realize. If you want to eat like a pig, eat! But eat quality food. And exercise.

Been a rough 3 months.. Lost my best friend suddenly due to a heart attack.. Then my dad passed away 3 weeks ago from dementia. Mom and Dad had been married 67 years and Mom is having trouble adjusting to being alone. I spend a lot of time helping her and I am sad a lot.

My beautiful wife has helped me cope with these feelings and I have to say coming here to CP helps me forget my troubles for awhile. And for that I thank you all..

We just found out that two of my daughters are pregnant and we will be adding two more grandchildren to the 4 we already have..

So I the circle of life continues... I've lost two people I cherished to have two more on the way the I will welcome with all my heart...

I have jogged over 2,400 miles since March 19, 2020, the first day of shelter-in-place for my county, and have lost about 60 pounds, eating healthier. I typically do 5 runs a week, at least 10.25 miles each. I will start going to Sunday mass again the week after this Easter, so my Sunday run will go down to a five-miler. Still, I am hoping to finish a virtual 3,521 mile run across the USA by Labor Day, if i can avoid injuries. I feel a lot more resilient and safe against COVID, which can be rough on heavier folks like me. I am glad I was able to get both of my Moderna shots in January.

In 3 days it'll have been 9 months since I gave up drinking alcohol due to health concerns. Since then I've lost 30 lbs and though I'm still not exactly the picture of health I think and hope I'm in a much better spot. I wasn't an alcoholic so it hasn't been difficult exactly, but it did change a lot about the nature of my social interactions with others and was probably harder for my friends to adjust than it was for me to do so. Still, while I haven't been tel-evangelizing about it by any means, they've seen the difference in my weight and health levels and several of them have begun questioning me on my experiences and indicating they're considering doing the same.

So I have some hope that my decision will have a positive impact, not just for me but for others. Not that I'm promoting others to do the same as I have, but the negative health consequences associated with alcohol are well documented and readily understood, same with eating steak every day or failing to exercise. I just hope folks do their own research, make their own decisions, and take care of themselves so they can have as many happy, healthy, and productive years as possible, and am glad that there is any chance I'm contributing to that being a reality.

We made a few nice improvements to the Palatial Bugeater Estate over the winter, the weather is warming up so the Camaro and the bikes have come out of hibernation, and road trip season is beginning this Friday with a visit to the DSM.

My wife and I are debt-free now and our net worth is at an all-time high. Our family travel business is beginning to heat up with a lot of great deals we are offering. I have a new book coming out soon. The trilogy I have been working on for 3 years is about 9 months from being done and will come out next year. Every stock I bought in the last month has gone up and so has my account. Just got into Cypro-finally, and have doubled my money. Also had a 19k windfall last month, stimulus payment, and have a big tax refund pending in my bank account. We just had our 4 year anniversary last week and could not be happier.

I've been so damn busy I forgot I even made this thread. Hadn't looked at the planet since I posted it.

It's amazing to hear everyone is doing so well and that we all have the wherewithal to be grateful for our blessings in life.

I, personally, am still managing a sober living house and now work for the ministry that helped change my life. We're currently hosting a yard sale in North East Kansas City as a fundraiser for our organzation, and it has taken alot of time to set up. I also volunteer with many other organizations in the KC area that help with homelessness and substance abuse. I have my family back in my life and also have made so many new friends that I consider family over the last couple of years. God is so good. Every single fucking day something happens that just makes me think to myself, "Damn, I love my life. ". Fuck, I even have a girlfriend that i think I'm really falling for now. Blessings on blessings. Sometimes I still get down on myself and everything isn't perfect, but since I've gotten out of my own way, I'm doing pretty damn good.

Moving back to the States in July just a couple of months shy of living and working teaching English in China for four years. It’s been a great experience that’s taught me a lot about being resourceful. I’ve saved some great bank and had some great experiences (Great Wall, Shanghai, exploring SE Asia). I’m coming home with a lot more confidence and ambition to get shit done with my life and accomplish whatever I set out to do. No more bullshit excuses. We all have the ability to change our lives for the better.

Tilled up my garden today. Fertilizer goes on tomorrow right before the rain comes in. Hopefully planting begins on Monday.

That looks great!

What will you be planting?

I'll be buying a new Jeep soon!

Do tell!

[Bugeater]

Do tell!
Well, my dearly beloved 2002 Grand Cherokee that I have owned for the past 8 years, while still beautiful, is up to 194,000 miles and is getting tired and has been deemed not worth putting the money she needs into her.

So I will be looking for her replacement soon. What that will be, I do not know at this time. But it will be another Jeep.

Sunflowers, carrots, beans (Red and Bush), lettuce, cabbage, squash, bell peppers, jalapeños, potatoes, tomatoes, onions, garlic, cucumber, broccoli, and strawberries.

Our farm also has 13 varieties of apple and 7 varieties of pears... along with 3 kinds of grapes and a hand full of rasperry bushes.

Please share some pictures in the gardening thread as you go. That is so awesome!

I'm getting tons of cherry tomatoes here right now. I plan to shade cloth my raised bed in Phoenix for the first time and see if I can keep them producing through our hot as hell summers.

My wife and I had dinner and drinks with Bugeater and his wife a couple of weeks ago.

It was a good time and as always, it was fun to meet charming, pleasant people through Chiefsplanet.

Bugeater wasn't terrible, either.

:D

Life IS good, even when it's crappy.

Or as Mellencamp wrote:

"Life is short even in its longest days"

If you can get to that place, your whole perspective changes.

The house my wife and I bought back in September is almost renovated enough for us to move in. Another couple weeks tops before we start moving in. Kitchen won't be done for awhile -won't have countertops :( but fuck it we'll make it work.

It was a 1950 house that was almost all original. So new plumbing, electrical. Replaced some flooring, redid the bathroom tiles, refinished the hardwoods and the metal kitchen cabinets.

Month and a half later... still not moved in. Yay! :cuss:

My Daughter's getting married in 11 days and the guy she is marrying loves her and is a great man with a good job.

Moving back to the States in July just a couple of months shy of living and working teaching English in China for four years. It’s been a great experience that’s taught me a lot about being resourceful. I’ve saved some great bank and had some great experiences (Great Wall, Shanghai, exploring SE Asia). I’m coming home with a lot more confidence and ambition to get shit done with my life and accomplish whatever I set out to do. No more bullshit excuses. We all have the ability to change our lives for the better.

Update, it was a pain in the ass but I finally bought my plane ticket home. Flying out of Beijing on July 13th. It will be my first time setting foot on American soil since January 2020.

I got bumped up to full time at work fuck yeah. Plus get friday saturday off which mean not dealing with idiots. Plus work 8 to 5 which mean i can get shit done after work.

I have jogged over 2,400 miles since March 19, 2020, the first day of shelter-in-place for my county, and have lost about 60 pounds, eating healthier. I typically do 5 runs a week, at least 10.25 miles each. I will start going to Sunday mass again the week after this Easter, so my Sunday run will go down to a five-miler. Still, I am hoping to finish a virtual 3,521 mile run across the USA by Labor Day, if i can avoid injuries. I feel a lot more resilient and safe against COVID, which can be rough on heavier folks like me. I am glad I was able to get both of my Moderna shots in January.

I am happy to report that I completed the 3,521-mile Amerithon Challenge earlier this month...ended up about 80 pounds lighter, too! :toast: Hopefully, I will keep most of it off, going forward. I did get one injury, tripping and falling hard when running the evening before that first Sunday returning to in-person Mass, but I just broke a tiny bit of finger bone and badly and likely permanently messed up a couple of finger joints. But that doesn't affect my jogging and is just a minor nuisance, all and all.

August 28th is National Cherry Turnover Day!

Have two excellent whitetail bucks showing up on trail cameras, I bad need to lose some pounds, I'm going Dove hunting next week with friends I've hunted with since 1980 and the Chiefs PreSeason look like team we have dreamed of forever.

Two good things going on for me right now…

1) I’ve been really focusing on getting healthier as I approach 40. Been hitting the gym consistently for the first time in a decade. Down about 15 pounds since i started and feeling good!

2) I recently was head hunted for a gig that was going to offer me a huge (25 percent) raise. I didn’t want to take it, but still told my current gig about the offer. My work matched the offer to keep me.

Oh, and the twins started kindergarten and are loving it. So things around here are stellar!

And don't forget, there is a new Dune movie coming, that looks pretty damn good.....
