Just digging the holes for my chilis showed me how out of shape my lower back is! Lol...I've been doing planks, jogging with my Doggie girl, push ups, squats, kicks, stretch every way I can imagine....

Note: my shovel lacks a handle. It's a entrenching tool literally.

I've been taking Lions Mane mushroom capsules for almost 3 months, 2 a day takes a while before it kicks in from what I have been reading, not had any negative effects but not felt anything different or positive either up to now, still have another 3 months worth of capsules left,

Protects against dementia.
Relieves mild depression and anxiety.
Speeds nervous system injury recovery.
Protects against ulcers.
Reduces heart disease risk.
Helps manage diabetes symptoms.
May help fight cancer.
Reduces inflammation.

I was thinking of actually growing the mushrooms myself in the spare box bedroom where I used to grow weed, looks straightforward..

its very straightforward

but be sure to follow decontamination regiments precisely in and around innoculation

and, plan it so your innoculations occur first thing in the morning
a night has the dust more settled than anytime after youve started moving around

How's it going fellas !?

I took around 7 days off training, did it today and really felt it, my arms are sore, and I am still mixing it up with skipping and weights,

In 11 days, it will have been a year since I last bought cigs...figure I've saved aboot $5,964 since then.
In 29 days, it will have been a year since I smoked a cig. It didn't taste good, and I had pretty much been off them for two weeks.
Still want to smoke every day, but it's fairly easy to just remind myself that I don't smoke any more.

Aboot two months ago, I weighed myself...203 lbs, or 92 kg. Second highest in my life...highest was 205 lbs/93 kg once before.
Started replacing my high fructose energy drinks with 0 calorie flavored water. Weighed 192 lbs/87 kg this morning.
Goal is to get down under 170 lbs/77 kg.

Still finding myself severely out of breath after just small exertions. Makes any kind of effective exercise difficult.

I will keep trying to get there though.

Apparently I've influenced a friend to quit smoking...been 3 weeks for him now.
Thanks for the inspiration Dill...I'm paying it forward.

so you could save $10k in 2 years... nice vacation to Europe

what exercises are you doing, you tried skipping, that's one of the best cardio exercises and it's a very low-impact exercise seeing as you only jump less than 6 inches off the ground so injuries will be minimized, get your heart racing with skipping and lose lots of weight in the process, you can do it in your garden or indoors if your ceiling is high enough....

this is the skipping rope I have, with wooden handles and leather rope, which can be adjusted and cut down to size...

you're doing great so far though...
