Now that I live on the bottom floor, it's a lot easier for me to walk my bike outside and take short, but necessary bike rides.
When I lived upstairs, it felt like a whole chore in and of itself to roll the bike outside.

Sometimes, now that not drinking, I think I got more energy than my body can keep up with.
Like putting nitro in a older care...sure the car has charged fuel, but if go to fast the wheels will fall off cause it's an older car.

About to go take a morning bike ride, why not, I've nothing better to do. I'll get out and ride, peddle, stretch, walk on the sidewalk, before the blaring sun comes out.  |

My body is not telling me coffee/mocha energy drinks are not good for my body My body is now telling me that these coffee/mocha energy drinks, you get from the store, are no longer good for my body. I suspect it's do to the amount of sugar they put in them. I can make and drink my own coffee at home, which I add no sugar to at all, and I'm OK. But when I drink these heavily sugar saturated store bought energy drinks, it's like my body or energy level crashes. Could be a sign or pre diabetes, from what I've read, or just the fact that lots of sugar is bad for you, regardless of whether you have diabetes or not, especially as you age. Either way, no more coffee/mocha store bought energy drinks for me. Dr Self.

Why do I need a 'provider' in order to get certain prescription.
No one provides for my health but me!
I've never had a medical 'Provider', other than short stint in the Navy.
Doctors mean nothing to me, they do nothing for me, other than trauma doctors that fix and mend broken bones, accidents, etc.
But other doctors, to me, have been meaningless, is why I never ever go.
I'm my own doctor, herbalist, nutritionist and more...the F do I need a arrogant negative god complex doctor for??
Sorry you spent so much money getting your degree.
Maybe eye doctors, hearing doctors, you know, doctors like that I get.
But just saying, no doctor can take credit for my health.
I wish more people would wake up and reclaim their health and stop elevating this medical complex that robbing you blind.
Other nations, people live just as long, yet they're not obsessed with health care like fat, stupid, lazy Americans are.

Better workout, or else, especially when older
Gyms are everywhere, as in their outside, on curbs, on the streets.
Just get creative.
Even the guard rails in this video can be used as leverage to stretch, do standing push ups and more.

My inner energy level is off, as of late.
I could really tell less than an hour ago when when tried waxing a vehicle of mine, and the 'umph' just wasn't there.
Like that inner atomic energy, just wasn't there.
Hard to explain.
Yet I feel relatively healthy, been working out daily, biking, walking, stretching, haven't drank in nearly 2 weeks, and before that a whole week...so only one heavy drinking day in 3 weeks, yet my energy level, on the inner atomic level, just isn't there or is fading.
No pain, I don't know.
Usually I can solve these issues on my own, we shall see.

I also need to go back to staying away from sauce, which is hard to do at first The ingredients in these sauces is toxic to our bodies, but in low doses, of course, unless have a medical condition like diabetes. The sugars in these sauces are like to sugar what crack cocaine is to regular cocaine....it's highly concentrated, which is worse. But yet sauce tastes so good, and it's near impossible for manufacturers to ship it without adding preservatives, or it would spoil/rot before it hit the shelves.
Solution?I need to go back to making my own sauce again, like I did years ago...not sure why I stopped, probably just go lazy.

No pain, I don't know. Usually I can solve these issues on my own, we shall see. And just like that, today, unlike yesterday, my energy level, that inner cellular energy level, has bounced back a bit... Again, I don't know what regulates that deep atomic energy level, the energy level that gives you that extra spring in your walk, that bounce to your ounce, and so forth.
There's regular surface energy, and then there's that underlying cellular energy that gives you your zip.Im sure there's a scientific name to that, whatever it is, it's coming back to me bit by bit. You see, I never go to the doctor, I just reverse engineer my habits and usually find the issue and body does the rest, as long as I feed it the right nutrition.
If more people were like me, Doctors wouldn't be able to charge so much, and insurance rates would drop by 50% or more cause no one would get insurance, and no one would go to the doctor over the most stupid of issues. In the past, there was no public doctor to go to, families, and the community healed and treated one another. Not saying I'd want that today, but just saying America specifically has elevated the medical industry into exploitive giant. |

The joint stiffness and light grinding in my knees could just be as simple as me not drinking enough water during the day
Hmm, I'm going to watch this video and see where I fall on the how much water to drink daily scale.

Just got back from having a sidewalk workout...yep.
I just workout on the sidewalk.
I just workout wherever I feel like it.
I get on my bike, and my gym is whatever's before me, trees, guard rails, the curb, the ground, a fence...anything I can use as leverage or to stretch with is fair game.

No pain, I don't know. Usually I can solve these issues on my own, we shall see. Update: Inner energy level has rebounded a bit since the above post...still working out, and still not drinking. I was fooling myself thinking I was in shape, thinking I could drink weekly, and barely exercise, and be OK...maybe when younger but not when older. I thought I was in shape cause I could basically walk...lol...not even. My shape was rapidly declining, and beer blinded me to that fact. I was more like in 30% shape compared to where I should have been....now I'm about 45%, even while working out daily.
The main culprit was beer, for sure, followed by just not enough general light workouts. I now workout daily, mainly walking and riding bike and stretching. I wake up and the first thing I want to do is go ride my bike, walk, and stretch....it's becoming automatic now. But also I'm unemployed so have the time to do that. I've been unemployed maybe going on 5 months now, and the idea of going back to a dull, bland, wage earning low IQ job just terrifies me...is why I'm so trying to do well in this screenwriting course I'm taking. Going forward I want to earn a living by being a professional writer...just a pipe dream, but we shall see. |

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.

This may sound odd, but maybe I'm not eating enough, is why I've been feeling drowsy during the day at timesI mean today, took a long vigorous bike ride, but just realized, other than a protein drink, and some popcorn, I really haven't eaten much. I know we live in era where we're all told to eat less, but just maybe, my drowsiness during the day, is do to me actually not eating enough and replacing the carbs, calories, that I use up when exercising...hmm I mean without food, we have no fuel.

I did go workout, a bit.
1. Drove car to parking lot, tried to remove scratches = 20 minutes
2. Drove car to park, walked, short sprints, stretched = 20 minutes
3. Drove to grocery store, parked, walked inside, walked around store = 30 minutes
4. Drove home, put grocery up = 10 minutes.
Now back home, and mood hasn't changed much at all...darn.
