Linkin asked recently what I do with all these post workout pics I take.
This is what I do. I use them as a reminder of how far I've come. For some it's just progress pics but for me it is guidance.
I am reminded that without growth and effort I would still be easily fatigued, have low energy levels, trouble waking up, weakened immune response, and unable to move in the way I currently do. It is a reminder that it is not a given but an earned result.
I've entered my 40s in much better health than my late 20s which is when that first pic was taken. I'm thankful for that. I have been able to stave off aches and pains, overall anxiety, stress, loss of mobility and numerous health risks. Turns out many of the degenerative aspects of aging are not simply linked to basic age but rather to lifestyle decisions.
I'm grateful to have connected with so many "older" folks when I was in my 20s that were twice my age yet in much better health. Following those examples helped me avoid a great deal more stress than I would have had if I had believed my body and mind would simply break down because of time.
I'm stronger than I've ever been. I'm faster and my stamina is at its best. My blood work has been the best I've had and my mind remains sharp and focused. I don't have random aches, I sleep great, and range of motion is also at a high point.
Lean into developing the mindset and bolstering the heart. Mind and Soul build the Body.
That said, I've got tons of Videogames to play, mountains to hike, countries to travel, and folks to love...and I plan on doing so for decades to come.
Stay Healthy
Stay Nerdy
