It’s so true! Can’t believe the number of times I’ve had a New Years resolution to get fit. With a bunch of other people too that never did. You have to want to be your best self. That takes caring about yourself and a positive outlook on the future. That can be hard to muster when you’re fat and sick. It’s often accompanied with other unhealthy behaviors as well.
We retired young, 56 so we could do some things travel, etc, and would more likely be in good ebnough health to be able to do this. We both started doing some moderate exercise, treadmill, or dailey walks, etc. We have stopped, and started this several times, but have the distinction of owning the only worn out treadmill in Oklahoma! 20 years, two knees, and one hip replacement, later, and I have had to replace the worn out treadmill, used ones that are like new condition are easy to find1 I have had to get off my fat ass and start again, only much less strenuous, workout regime. The motivation this time was I have gotten so fat, and stiff, I can no longer wipe my own rear, I can't reach it! I ask my sweet wife if she would be willing to do this for me, and she made it clear, she would NOT! After only about three weeks, of 5 days per week, 30 minutes a day, exercise, and I can take care of this function myself!! I p[lan on keeping this up at least enough to keep rigormortis at bay for a while!
I'm about to go eat an egg and bacon sammich my wife made on an English muffin. Numnum. I did PT earlier.
Went back to the gym yesterday. First time in way too long. Spent a little time on the stationary bicycle, my favorite. Keeps the legs moving but no stress on my feet (flat feet). Then a little time lifting weights and realizing I'm weak as a snail.
But I was there, that's the habit I need to start, getting to the gym. Being around people working to improve their health is a good group to be around.

I am. Fasting and eating mostly meat and salad no carbs
How long have you been fasting? What’s your longest fast? Seeing any benefits?
Carnivore is the way to go. Meats and fats. Ive never been overweight but getting out of shape sucks! Who wants to go rucking?
I have been fasting for a few weeks, longes fast was 36 hours so far, I was on a 24 yesterday but I had split wood and tore down an old deck basically worked my tail off all day at my sons house and had to call it quits at 26. You do feel better after a fast. Dr. Berg among others can explain the processes that occur during a fast
I’m down 40# since January and so far maintaining it. The older I get the more I have to stay on track with eating and exercise. But I sure like the payoff. Feel better and blood sugar is back to normal. New clothes are damn expensive though. Smh
