NSFW: Super Post Whore Thread v2.0

[easy rider]

My point is less about weight, but overall health. I can’t control that I no longer have access to the top-tier tactical training, unlimited training ammo, RBAVs, PT facilities, coaches, programs, etc I had in the military. I do have control of my overall health, and since I probably don’t/won’t need all the gucci gear to help me be more survivable in the outside world, I need to own improving my health.

Those last cans on the Copenhagen log have been tossed. Whiskey Wednesday will be much more disciplined. Sure, there’s the eat better/workout smarter part of it, but there’s taking better care of my own personal headspace and timing.

Like I said earlier, it’s been very contemplative for me. I can accept I may not be as good as I once was for some reasons that are beyond my control but there are other things I do control that can actually put me in a better place for long-term survivability than I ever was in my .mil days. It’s tough to put all the thoughts to words, but the bottom line really is about owning it and the accountability for it.

I guess I had to go through the last five years to get to where I am now.

Do what makes you happy. I would much rather live a shorter happy life, than obsess over health where the point is just to live longer.

It took me 20 years to go from 225 lbs to 350 then back to 200.

It ain't easy but worth it.

The two arent mutually exclusive.

Done with the red-neck brush-hogging for the day!

Beer-thirty has arrived!

I've never even had any CV symptoms much less tested positive so I'm not sure what that means. Do they put an ankle monitor on you? You can't go ANYwhere!? I would.

Sorry about your family / hunting issues.

It’s more about scouts honor, second day of no fever.

Thanks, I wish things would just resolve and cooler heads prevail.

The lesson of the day that ive learned in all of this

Don’t own land with other family members
Don’t go into business with family.

You’re better off on your own.

In this instance, happiness and improved survivability can live well together. I’m not bothered about my weight; I’m bothered that I’ve become less disciplined about a lot of things where the sum is greater than the parts.

I shot a run ‘n gun last week; slightly better than middle of the pack in a field of 56 shooters, with no downgrades. The top tier guys as a group had a pretty good gap over the MoP’ers. I should be in the top-tier group.

Certainly! There are many things throughout my life that I wish I would have paid closer attention to healthwise. What I meant was, I have known many that took health to an obsession, and some were not very happy people. At my age, I realize that we are only here for a short while, so live life to it's fullest. If living a healthy life completes that, all the better.

Mile walk complete.

Dining for the evening consisted of burgers ranch beans and mac n cheese. High brow shit.

Had my first back surgery at 22 I think? About a dozen since then. Kept working till 2001 when I couldnt really fight anymore or reliably back other officers up and was taking too much pain meds to be able to work.

Lots of pain meds and inactivity and also failed surgeries got me up to about 350 about 12 years ago then slowly got down to about 250 but was falling alot and had nerve issues where I couldn't really walk without falling.

I had a laminectomy the fusion that stopped the nerve damage and that took a couple years to heal and a SI joint fusion last year. Over the last 12 months I got back down to 200 lbs which is about where I was at 21.

Long journey but it's worth it. It's a delicate ballance of limited activity diet pain meds and luck but I'm even working off my diabetic meds.

So a happy life and healthy life are at some point intricately intertwined.

No one talks about a happy decline and death. The dead dont speak. Unless you're a with lord I guess.

Its beginning to look a lot like....

 

[country_boy]

I have to ask

With shortages, inflation, higher cost of Ammo and availability has it changed your hunting season at all?

 

[ZX9RCAM]

What kind of hunting?
Deer only requires 1, or 2....

Uh, that’s not me. It’s the point about health.

Well if you are going to wear the plate carrier do not forget your “Security” T-shirt

Naah. Much more tacticool. You know me, I'm such a f'king operator I only shoot my Creedmoor every other time I go out.
