Really interesting lifestyles, most including myself tend to bounce from one extreme to the other (positives to negatives) while some stay in the middle at a steady pace. My experiment wasn't to break my bad habits, but rather slowly make small changes in my lifestyle to the point it becomes a positive replacement habit...
Slowly over time I've had it more a habit to eat healthy and exercise, to the point of getting some abs. Why? Because it keeps me focused and gives a reason to make the biggest lifestyle adjustment in my life. I still need to reduce the hours spend sitting down, mostly in front of the PC draining the rest of the day away. Did you know that sitting down for more than 4 hours straight is about as bad as smoking? Slows your metabolism down to 1% and easily adds to building fat around the stomach. Facts of life: Your subconscious mind simply leads you towards what you focus - positive or not doesn't matter. Therefore if you hate something and focus on it, it will unfortunately lead you more towards it, making it extremely hard to change. Instead it's best to find a replacement for it. Which is why I'm interested in others lifestyles as well. Everyone has the good and the bad. @MetalHeadLady - "Imaginations From the Other Side" by Blind Guardian is an awesome wake up call! What kind of birds do you have and do they get let out in your room? My cousin got a couple of love birds which get released in his house in the mornings, they would dive bomb and annoying their fat lazy Garfield of a cat, even land on him to tease, lol. Always been amused with them and their personalities. Pets can make a huge difference in people's lives. I know my dog does! Sounds like your got a pretty good structure going in life. Is there any one little thing you wish to adjust? @Cosmin - Dang your focused. Meditation and sword practice is always a good lifestyle and mind set. What got you into doing that in the first place? @Monica - Ahh, you sound quite a bit like me - fighting the good vs bad battle! Working hard, but a lot more clean with your baths. Reminds me, note to self - take more baths or showers, specially after the gym. I use to really be into the energy drinks as well. Tough habit to break as they are so good and make you feel great. Lived on caffeine energy to get me through the day! Still something I'm trying to reduce. What I actually ended up doing was taking 'ANS Performance Diablo Thermogenic' instead, believe me it's a good hit and tastes great. Can be used for weight lose, but I just used it as a pre-workout supplement. My rather skinny but my abs would never show due to the fact of taking sodas, energy drinks and alcohol. That replaced all my drinking, you can't take any caffeine with it as your end up overdosed, plus you have to drink quite a bit of water instead. Makes your feet sweat and if you exercise, it gives a good boost - fat to pure energy. Can be quite expensive though, so simple extracted coffee bean became a cheaper replacement and still reducing it over time. I also use to do a number of crunches, but it got me no where for the effort at first. Drinking will keep your stomach from showing any abs. Here's something which really helped thou - Vertical Knee Raises (15 Reps), Plank Hold (30s), Bicycle crunches (15 Reps), and then Reverse crunches (15 Reps). Do them back-to-back without any rest between. Then take 30-60 seconds break and repeat the circuit 3 more times. Your abs will be screaming for mercy! The vertical knee raises really boosts any overall abs workout, reducing the time taken to peak. You can do these as 'In and Outs' on the ground as well. I do these each 2nd time and have grown to love/hate it! You will feel it if done right P90X - AB Ripper X: https://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=597243068487 This post has been edited by Azzaboi: Jan 28 2014, 09:00 PM |

Well there are exceptions, I'm not saying if you are a sporty type that's bad. It's not. I'm just generally more indifferent, but some of them are still pretty nice looking.
