 I wouldn't say this is darker themed, just interestingly themed. I kind of like it. Sometimes we forget it's our guts that keep us alive, cause we never see them. |

Just had a really good decent bike riding/walking/stretching sidewalk workout.Everything felt better while working together, than it has in a while, as in joints, cardio, energy level and more. Health is, or good health anyways, is when everything is working together, all your systems, to deliver the desired pain free experience at whatever you're doing. I even kind of had my old walking bounce back this evening while working out...could have been the shoes though, not sure...comfortable shoes also help with health. ================================= I think it's all starting to pay off, slowly but surely...cause been working out not once, but twice a day now for the last week, and before that every day for the past near month, and stopped drinking, for the most part, so it's all finally coming together. ---------------------------------- Also, I'm realizing that it takes months to get into real shape, not talking 'OH, I can walk up a flight of stairs' type of shape, but I'm talking real health and shape which is a notch below athletic shape, marathon shape and so forth. At my age, let's say I was trying to be an athlete, I'd only be at around 45% of athletic shape...at my age...lower the age and the less shape I'd be in comparatively. But, if I just compare myself to my age group, I'd be at 80% or higher in shape, compared to others my age. What hurt me is that for so many years I drank, and just didn't notice the slow damage it was doing to me, I didn't notice cause, well, I was in OK shape, and still sort of worked out, which gave me a false sense of health. Anyways...enough of that...still have a ton to do tonight. Now that not drinking, at least I've given myself a fighting chance to succeed in this world, as long as I stay focused. While drinking, there was zero chance that I'd succeed at anything meaningful going forward.

Chemically laced store bought mouth wash is terrible for your mouth and tongue.

Just got back from a in the dark, ride my bike up and down the sidewalk workout...felt pretty good, all things considered...
Since not drinking tonight, or in last few days, and hopefully longer, I gotta keep myself busy...
But just sitting in place all day on computer doesn't cut it.
I have to go out and burn some calories or I get depressed, sitting around all day just makes me depressed, and doesn't fill the void alcohol would.
The thing about drinking is I'm very active while actually drinking, it's once I go to bed that the down side begins, the terrible feeling the next day that just lingers and lingers, and effects your mood, your moral, your outlook on life...and even your health.
But while in the moment of drinking, I'm pretty active, most are, but it's fueled by booze, like fake energy I suppose...and at the same time flushing out all your nutrients is probably why you feel so terrible the next day.
Nutrients, I suspect, also support our moods, I mean sure they do, everything about us is bio-chemical, so why wouldn't they.
Anyways, more constructive things to do than write on here where so few even read other than bots, or ad bots, or google bots or Russians.
What is it with Russians and forum sites like this?
Although lately, no one comes around here no more cause it's a place no one is used to...they, you, check it out, get freaked out, and run back to FB or X or instagram or other mainstream places.
That's fine...I've come to like the quiet feel of this place.

Sobriety can be one scary ride, if not used to it
Sobriety can be one scary ride, for sure, if not used to it, and you realize what a shaky foundation of supposed friends, even family, and or future you've created for yourself.
Once sober, you have to decide how to make things right again, one corrective decision at a time.

Why join a gym when there's plenty of ready made outside gyms all over the place

Testing bike cart
Have had this bike cart for years, but just today decided to actually hook it to bike and take it for a spin.
I believe I ordered it on Amazon, years and years ago.

Just got back from working out, or biking and walking...and boy do things seem bright...the computer monitor seems really bright and clear.
When I don't drink, it's like my body just does some amazing things.
I wish I'd never started drinking, I'd probably be like superman or something, special powers.

Wish I had known or seen this video years ago.

Tennis anyone?
Tennis anyone?
Before this, I haven't swung a tennis racket in years, maybe a decade.
But tennis keeps you fit, keeps those muscles loose.
I may have to add it to my regular workout routine, again.
Bottom line, just stay fit and eat right, cause the world is hard enough when healthy, how much harder is the world to us when we're unhealthy.

Took what should have been a fairly routine bike ride, but than when way out, tire became flat, and so had to walk back, probably maybe 2.5 miles? 3 at the most.
Either way it was unplanned, took energy and cost me time.
Had a drunken night, texted some stupid stuff, and today, well today, I'm here.

I ended up taking that bike ride after allI ended up taking that bike ride after all, so glad I did. I need to recapture the enthusiasm and vigor I had all throughout the summer, and the hope that drove me. I want, need, that 'me' back...that happy me, no matter the odds, always happy and putting a positive spin on things, that's the me I really do need right now. I need the me that's both mentally and physically fit, for my age, and I need the tough me. I need a lot of me's right now to be frank, but just the positive sides. =============================== Where I stay, it's still relatively warm at night, so able to walk or bike even after dark. In fact, I was wearing shorts and a muscle shirt, and almost sweating. Anyways, that's just the first step on rebuilding myself up. If fit and confident, I can handle anything, it's when I start drinking, again, and become lazy, and paranoid, and sad and depressed, is when the world becomes to much for me to handle.

I think certain viruses or bacteria can make us feel depressed even when we're really not.
Or a 'bug' in us, what they used to call a minor flu or cold virus.
But I think, know, they can effect our moods and moral, and even sap us of our energy and strength to one degree or another.
Because when we're sick, that extra energy is turned inward, used by our defense system to fight the bug or virus or bacteria in us causing the issue.
I think I have such a bug right now, and is why combating it with natural vegetable and fruit drinks made from scratch with a blender.
And vitamins, and just avoiding beer or alcohol, which weakens the immune system
Hoping to feel better by tomorrow morning.
