Using "these" times to better myself

[BG]

So in the beginning of the pandemic my life didn't change much, pretty much just less people around me at work, the MX parks I usually road at were closed and have to wear a mask/being more germ cautious (I was already a bit of a germaphob and hermit). But now as The Corona circles itself around me, slowly closing in, I'm starting really think about life........but in a good way. I feel I need to be at my best right now to get through this, things need to change within me and the way I am. So I came up with things I need to cut out of my life, change or start doing. Now this is being done in stages, I started this a little while ago, things that were causing issues at home, my wife and I weren't getting along to well. So here are the first few things.....


1. Porn
2. Sugar
3. Think about what comes out of my mouth before I say it
4. Not care about asshole people.....so this evolved into something greater, stop being involved with people at work, reading the horrible news (even the UFC news everyone was fighting with each other over $$$$), not getting pissed in traffic, REMEMBERING I AM TO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED

Now SO much stress has been lifted from me, like I exhaled a huge stress ball, now things are falling back in place. Thinking back yesterday, I realized Im ready to start some new one's......keep progressing. Im very unhappy with my body, when I first got to Florida I said I was going to train at home, so I used a total piece of crap total gym. Well it finished off my shoulder, suffice to say I stopped training...........over 20 years straight! Its time, so I started dieting (because with me I have to diet in order to train) and lost 5-7lbs. I trained/stretched for the past 3 days and Im already starting to feel better. Got my Bp down below/at 130, its been 140+ since getting here and losing the "chipmunk" cheeks and have 3 1/2 abs. So here is my next few things.


1. Exercise everyday (bike ride at 3 times a week)
2. Diet better everyday ( I dont care if its just saying no or not eating something that wont help my goals)
3. Show my wife some affection everyday
4. Compliment her once a day also

Ill update this with time.

Everyone feel free to make a list, add to it, make like a log if you want or just post something positive you did or even heard. Im going to make this like a log and reminder to me. LETS MAKE THIS A POSITIVE THREAD IN A NOT SO POSITIVE TIME ! I tired of read dreadful crap.
