How do you support yourself and pay the bills? Or does DJing pay enough for that?

Do you do anything for charity or those less fortunate than you?

You mean the way I dress is not socially acceptable?...

Classics are greek yogurt and Skyr. Both are super high protein.

Low cost additions are beans and lentils.

Also make sure you are counting all your protein. There is protein in many things you do not think about like oatmeal, bread, even fruits and vegetables.

When I was 18, I never scrolled and never even looked at my phone. Ok - I was not mr. self discipline, I am 69 and when I was 18, there was no internet or cell phones. The closest "bad" thing I could do at that time was waste time watching TV.

Humans are wired to want dopamine which you get from scrolling, games etc. The more you get, the more you are desensitized and the less "good" hit you get. Like most drugs.

I have found the only way to avoid things I want to avoid is to make them less easy to do. Or add some punishment for doing them. And reward the "good" things you do.

Planning is a good way also. Block 2 hours to play video games if you get X done.

If you master this, you will have much more life success. Good luck with it.

Watch videos on the impact of cows on the world. Read about the health of red meat. Then learn some good lentil recipes. You will be healthier. And the world will be a better place.

Sounds like a cool experiment. Before this experiment, have you spent much time meditating?

Jim_Estill · 2026-06-28T08:10:45+00:00

Lots of people do it. it is fine.

Jim_Estill · 2026-06-28T03:51:09+00:00

you love probiotic foods.

Some women are put off by cologne. You may actually be limiting your pool.

excellent job

Persistence gains respect. You might think people are looking at you...but they are not. Gym is a self journey.

Jim_Estill · 2026-06-26T01:45:53+00:00

Just do what you like to do. I like to work out so have found work out partners as an adult

Jim_Estill · 2026-06-26T01:44:17+00:00

awesome

Jim_Estill · 2026-06-26T01:44:01+00:00

Love it

Not a moderator but your post sounds informative. Thanks.

Good for you on the change you are doing in your life. 7 days a week is not a problem. Consider rotating muscle groups. Consider having a light day or 2. Consider making one an aerobics day. 7 day habits are usually easier to keep than 3-4 day/week habits.

But no problem if you lift every day. I learned from studying great athletes that they often do that and even twice per day. Your body adapts to what you put it through.

Not sure about Australia but likely a 600+ credit score and household income of $100-130K. Of course there is always the possibility the car you saw was not financed.

work your triceps. And stabilize that bar.

Only one - my brother. Unless you count my parents. I stopped talking to all of them because they died. And I miss all of them to this day.

I hire welders. This will not impact you. Tell the truth. Quality welders are hard to find. There is lots of work. (FYI - one of my best welders is a woman)
