...But sometimes I gotta do things for the sake of stoopidity and looks above all else. I mean, who cares about practicality? It's looks that really count...
I hear ya. Believe me, I am seriously tempted to mass-produce something utterly ridiculous just for the sake of paying off my mortgage, whether it's knives or lollipops. The wife and I were discussing that concept earlier, and she asked me how hardcore I
really am about my ideals... I said, "Baby, if someone waved enough cash under my nose, I'd gladly polish a thousand turds so we could have the pure sweet freedom that only comes from having stacks in the bank."
We live in a cold, cold world, boys and girls. Money doesn't make the world go 'round, but it can sure make the ride a bit smoother.
If you don't mind me asking, what are you doing differently?
Much less sugar and other carbs, that's the main thing. Plus of course, less caloric intake overall.
I'm crabby as **** almost all the time because I'm not gettin my Coca-Cola (which I typically drink like most people guzzle coffee). Way less fat calories from snack foods like chips and dips and whatnot. A lot more fresh veggies, which I'm actually starting to truly enjoy, and I'm drinking a lot more plain clear water instead of soda.
The protein (lean meats) is the only thing keeping me remotely sane. Lots of baked/smoked fish... good gravy, I'm
truly thankful for my trout stamp and the local rivers.
I'm so constantly angry at this stage of, basically sugar detox, that I've started lifting things that don't even need lifting out of pure frustration. Hopefully, that will eventually manifest into more productive exercise and not just strangling the next poor bastard that crosses my path and looks at me funny.
But having said all that... my knees and back hurt a lot less lately and I feel stronger overall. So there's that. :thumbup:
