Here are a few resources I’ve created and a few things I’ve been enjoying outside Amazon FBA.
Bod Pod Testing Update
After moving to Memphis, I gained quite a bit of weight. A lot of barbecue, beer, and not much to do! When I moved to Nashville, I did a test and I was at whopping 30.7% body fat at 224 lbs – which let’s be frank, I was very overweight lol.
I made my goal to get down to 15% body fat, and see what that looks like.
After about nine months of training, I got down to 21.7% body fat and 200 lbs. Which I am happy with even though I think it could have been done faster.
Some of things that would help me get there sooner are definitely gettingin 10,000-12,000 steps per day (~5-6 miles). As well as being more strict on my diet and getting about a gram of protein per pound of body weight.
For me, I need about 200g of protein per day – which helps keep me full and if that meat is lean, still get into a calorie deficit while not losing muscle mass.
Happy with the progress, but still a ways to go.
Cool Tweet I Saw
The other day I saw a video of an AI high tractor that goes in and lasers weeds.
This made my day, because today we use so many toxic pesticides like Round Up to kill weeds and get on our food– which has been shown over and over again not to be good for our bodies.
If this becomes the new norm for our fields and getting weeds out, I’d be one happy man.
Nothing But Joy
YouTuber Ryan Trahan is doing another penny series.
This time he’s starting in Europe and has to make it all the way back to America, starting with just one penny. He’s got a great personality, making it a pure joy to watch.
Along the way, he does random side hustles to make money and try to trade up. So for anybody that needs some breaks in their day, this would be a good series to watch.
Quote Of The Week
“M. Scott Peck wrote a book which starts, ‘Life is difficult.’ This is one of the great things about life. If you understand this, you can transcend it, because you anticipate that things are going to be difficult, and you can take pride in overcoming difficulties. But if you expect there are going to be no difficulties, obviously you are going to be disillusioned.”
