Welcome to Gaia! ::

Just 3 weeks, I'm taking a respite from being neckbeardy. Exercise daily, I'll be getting sun, and I'm changing my diet. I shall be attempting fully vegan eating, but I may slip back into vegetarian. Does this mean I shall not be coming back? Absolutely not, I plan on returning here with news of progress.

Why so long? Why not just post here each day anyway?

Three weeks is solid enough time to allow me to make these changes habit rather than a spree, these changes are highly important to me and my future and if I just do them in a spree like this I may as well not do them at all. My reasoning for not coming here every day to post is because I cannot be coming home immediately after work, this is because I will just come to the computer and waste hours online.

What makes these changes so important that you have to do this?

Health. I turned 25 last year and my body is already going downhill. The diet, exercise, and everything I did for the last couple years that kept me at 230 pounds (still obese, but the lowest I've weighed in adulthood), simply can't keep up and over the course of 7 months I've raised back up to 265. Not my highest weigh but a trend that will lead me to it again.

This is completely unacceptable and must be rectified. I've already begun the transition on some things, I have been vegetarian for three weeks and my energy is better. I'm not losing weight yet but I feel better enough that I can exercise through my high weight with less strain. I've also been pinpointing areas that require improvement.

Thighs; prior to living in Alaska I never went anywhere that required traversing stairs, plus with my walking method it's very minimal movement of the thighs. I've been working on them and there is improvement but I plan to do much more. Stomach and back; these are paired together because I need to improve mobility with the areas which shall increase my flexibility overall. I am good with my arms and I have enough pectorals for my own preferences.

Fat will go down as I make the transition into vegan and better my exercising. Mostly doing more of it. This will help with my energy too, an out of shape body is harder to keep active and awake, as is a heavy body. Dropping the weight and getting fit will allow me to stay active and not just barely dragging myself through every day fighting all of my body aches which are almost certainly from being too heavy.

On top of this I need the sun, my skin will thank me for it and I would benefit nicely from some Vitamin D.



I think that's everything I need to say on the matter. I'll stick around for about another hour before I go. I know it's unfair to those who are busy at this time but, eh, ******** it. I love you all and would totally touch you in naughty ways unless you have a p***s while not being Psy.

Lucky. You get to miss this horrendous pie-background that Gaia has given us.

However I wish you the best of luck. I'll miss you dearly, but the rewards granted to you for this endeavor far outweigh my quiet wishes. I hope you succeed and come back tan. emotion_awesome heart

This isn't what I originally thought I intended...but now I definitely do. Pav please come back like this.
