I eat relatively healthy, and I stretch well more-or-less every day, but to be honest that’s about it.

I would like to smoke less and drink less - they aren’t issues in that sense, I’m just getting older and it’s obviously getting worse for and harder on my body. I also need to get back to the gym or something, it’s been years 😅 it’s just hard to find time with kids and a demanding job, and I haven’t prioritized it.

Drink too much, work too much, eat a diet consisting mostly of cheese and carbs. Stay in half-decent shape by putting in 14-hour days at a physical job.

Basically just circling the drain.

“I’ve had greasy, fried food for dinner every day this week. I’ll just have a salad today.”

I lost a bunch of weight and very carefully watch the scales every day to make sure I don’t get carried away again, sometimes having to eat very lightly for a few days when it creeps up.

Did wonders for my blood sugar, cholesterol, and liver. Unfortunately it means I’m just a touch hungry most days.

Also moderate exercise, a bit of aerobic exercise most days, but not too much. Park far away to make myself walk more in daily activity.

My health is my mental health. Managing my time and making valuable me time is the best thing I do.

Wear somewhat minimalist shoes, zero drop, flexible, wide toe box. Sit on a stool instead of comfy office chair.

I have a lot less back pain now.

I eat fairly healthy and I go to the gym.

Gym: 5 hours a week, 3 resistance training, 2 cardio, swimming on occasion

Diet: low carb high fat, my life literally changed when I had high blood pressure and I did a bunch of research and eventually stumbled onto https://books.google.com.sg/books/about/Ketogenic.html?id=niWjEAAAQBAJ

Sleep: no electronics in bed, when I go to bed I just sleep.

Don’t sweat the small stuff.

E.g. Someone cut you off? Who cares. Just slow down and drive safe. You’re only going to end up being 10-30 seconds behind them overall anyway.

Therapy every-other week, and at least 1.5 hours of brisk walking with my pup every day, plus hikes on weekends. And water - lots of water.

Nothing really. I just don’t like to smoke and never go outside except for work

Anyone looking to take their health more seriously should just pick a habit or two from this list and see the difference it makes to realize that they really should have just hunkered down, got disciplined and do the rest of these habits routinely.

The difference is pretty incredible and I wish I had done these things sooner but I had so much mistrust in the health space that I never looked into it to find people providing valuable efforts.

I recently started a new job which I think is going to destroy my health. Standing on concrete all day, ugh.

So to counter the incoming joint pain, I’m doing lots of stretches and yoga. Bringing lunch from home is also helping the diet, that should hopefully pay off.

Ironically, I took this job because I thought it would be better for my mental health. Less stress, gets me out of my basement (I was working from home), and it’s much more physically active.

But gosh, my bones hurt. I might have to leave this job too for my health. Maybe the lesson here is that working for the man is bad for your health

Used to be a competitive body builder, that’s not healthy let me tell you. Now I lift weights for the physical and mental health and don’t trash my body. About 5 hours a week in the weights room, and a 30 min walk every day keeping my heart rate around 120bpm, eat pretty decently.

Try not to stress to much over most things, do stuff I enjoy, and always learning something new.

Walk or run or hike in a natural environment nearly every day. It might be early or late but I go nearly every day for at least a few miles.

I have a headlamp and a flashlight with a fuck-you-ultra-bright strobe mode for when it’s dark and I don’t worry about animals (quadruped or otherwise).
