I am at level 3 of the Nerd Fitness food plan
I am at level 1 of the Nerd Fitness exercise plan
Every other day I need to:
Workout A1
3 rounds of 10 reps of each:
Assissted Bodyweight squat
Elevated Push-up
Doorway bodyweight row
Finish with:
Farmers walk 30 second trip
Workout B1
3 rounds:
Good Morning 10 reps
Standing Wall Walk 5 trips up and down
One leg balance 5 seconds each side
Finish with:
Front plank 3 sets 20 seconds
My own goal - walk 7000 steps a day
Current distance to Disneyland = 8000 steps currently 2,030,000 steps to go.
Disneyland is 1,019 miles or 2,038,000 steps
With the knowledge that 10,000 = 5 miles the steps to miles conversion is below.
(distance in miles divided by 5 miles x 10,000 steps - or 1019x5 = 203.8 x 10,000 = 2,038,000)
Hard truth. I am out of shape, I am over 40, I am almost 200 pounds in weight, I am low income and don't have access to the best foods or diet options, but am learning how to work within the confines of what I can have. I do belong to a gym becuase it is $10 a month - but I have not been going until this last week since September of last year. My blood pressure is awesome (happy dance), I don't have arthritus, I am generally healthy with the above being also a truth.
In the Nerd Fitness plan it also focuses on the mind - the mind being a great deal more important than anything else I am doing. Meditation, positive thinking, fighting inner monologue demons, as well as digging at the baggage I have carried around is on the to do list on the regular. Journaling, art, and all the things that help me dig myself out of this mental self trap I have been living in.
I took up residence in the swamp of sorrows and just dug my roots into the swamp. I have spent that last couple of weeks hacking those roots off and moved to a healthier place mentally with a much better view. Now the plan is to make sure that I can accumulate the money I need to survive plus a bit more to dig myself out of not having a savings to cover issues like popped tires, and doctor visits. Once i can start making more than I spend in basic bills and living expenses (which I have trimmed as far down as I can) I can start saving for the emergency pile. Once I have that the next goal is to look into paying down debt and figuring out what the next steps are. This might take a minute or a few months - but it is as important as the body health I am doing. Mental health, safety of self, and peronal health are all linked. I cannot just change one and have everything be alright. I have to change all the aspects.
So - February 2019 - Ultimate quest of healthy 360 begins.
