I’ve been on medication for my cholesterol since 2020. I had made some attempts at changing my diet and exercising more often, but I just couldn’t keep it up.
Thankfully, there are inexpensive generics available for my medicine.
But I would like to change my lifestyle.
I watch YouTube channels like Julien Kang and Gym Jong Kook, and I envy their dedication to fitness. I would love to be able to maintain that kind of lifestyle.
Since I am not working and I don’t have a vehicle or any current activities beyond the grounds of the property, I have become quite sedentary.
I spend most of my day studying in front of the computer. Afterwards, I might head over to the living room and sit down to watch episodes of I Am Solo or My Little Old Boy on Viki.
We have an exercise bike, and there’s even a BowFlex in the basement. I sometimes, very occasionally, take walks around the house and sometimes the property.
One summer, a long time ago, when I was still quite active, I made walking paths all around the property and graded them with gravel. There are flower beds along some of the paths, but they don’t really get enough light.
I even dug out a small watering hole for frogs. I took to referring to it as the “pond.” Although now it is surrounded by a bamboo grove, I still hear the frogs each season.
I’ve run off and lost my point.
If I could change something, it would be my lifestyle. I want to lose weight, improve my diet, and get off medicine permanently.
Just take it day by day. I once decided to lose weight and get into shape. It was hard work and months went by before I lost a few pounds. I took things day by day. .I jogged for as long as I could, not more than 10 minutes and each day added more. I found myself wanting to do more for the challenge.
Thank you for your comment. It was very inspiring, I think I will try to go outside today and as you say, “take it day by day.”
I Walk around the park to sweat…I feel so happy and healthy by doing this…Your heart needs beating a while , not sitting behind the chair and thinking absurd
Thank you for your comment. Recently, I have started spending 30 minutes a day outside walking briskly.
