Also, screw the unbelievers

Yesterday on Twitter, someone said that I was wasting my time, because “Once you hit 50, you are what you are. Stop killing yourself and have a beer.”

My response?

That’s so many people’s problem. The ones that don’t want to put in the work want to tell the ones that do want to put in the work, that the work is a waste of time. Social media has become a thing where people just want to drag everybody else down.

And that makes the people that do want to make change think that they can’t make change. And that’s frustrating too. I’ve never been a believer in the concept that you’re too old to do something. I’m also not a believer in the concept that anybody under the age of 75 should be considered old.

However, old is how you feel. And old is how you act. And I have to admit that before I decided to get my head out of my ass and do something. I was starting to feel pretty old. I was running out of breath walking up the stairs. It was painful to roll around on the floor with my stepson. I made all kinds of noises when I needed to stand up or sit down.

So part of me gets it. Part of me understands why no one would believe in me. Part of me understands that because that is a reflection on them. They wouldn’t believe in themselves. They would know that they couldn’t do it. And that’s okay. It just makes them weak-minded. 30% of this world appears to be weak-minded at the moment.

I’ve been called lots of names in my life but weak-minded has never been something anyone could pin on me.

Okay today was weigh in day. And here are the results:

Not bad for one week. Though I know much of it was water, I also know from the rest of the body comp stats that there was 3+ lbs of fat lost and about half a pound of muscle gained.

I really wanted to be under 220 for the first week but I am certainly not upset or discouraged by these numbers…

We have some errands today and we’re going to do a nice hike tomorrow… So today will be my off day for some muscle recovery.

Thanks again for the shares and follows. I hope I doing some good for someone else..

Peace
