    If you’re on the edge right now - do it! Taking care of my body and diet was the best decision of my life.

    I have major depression. I’ve learned to hack it in various ways by, not exactly lying, but by making logical arguments that appeal to it.

    I do 4 high intensity, 2 hour workouts a week like clockwork, just by reminding myself that I have a significant family history of sudden cardiac deaths, and that my greatest hope for escape from the pain of life, because I’m too much of a coward to do it directly, is to simply make my heart go boom.

    Every workout is a lottery ticket to my problems being over! And bonus points, if I die doing cardio, my death wasn’t embarrassing! “Look at him, dying on the stair machine, what a go getter!”

    This is why I always exercise first thing. If you wait until you “have time” later, it will never happen.

      Yeeep. Every morning, I eat a light snack and just go. Don’t even bother waiting.

    Disregard sleep, run 4k at midnight. Gains for the gains god, quads for the quad throne. 💪😎💪
