No, because even when I was obese I just told myself that I needed to change therefore I did
No, because I'm 97 lbs 😊😊😊
I started watching your daily streams also, besides CZcams videos, and it's worth it! Congratulations on quality content.
I don’t know if it’s like this for everyone, but from my own experience, the terms fat and obese are offensive only when one is trying to deny that it is a problem. When i finally looked at myself and accepted that i was fat, i no longer found the words hurtful, and then i was able to move from the acceptance phase to the changing phase, and am 72 lbs down from 246
At 5ft6 and weighing 14 st 6 lbs (202lbs) I'm classed as obese.I'm more offended by the man in the mirror than I am by the term obese or being called fat.
As someone who was once obese.... if you don’t want to be called obese, lose weight.
Facts.

Well I do like a little buzz every now and then, but I really only drink socially haha. Maybe on a rare night I’ll have a glass of wine by myself.
By the way, I accidentally hit the dislike button.
@@kimfeldman5445 nothing wrong with that!

So this is fun. Fat activists acting like “obesity” is a modern invention of a word. I got curious and looked up the origin of the word obesity. Here’s what I found:
Obesity (n): “condition or quality of being corpulent”, 1610s, from French obèsitè and directly from Latin obesitas “fatness, corpulence”, from obesus “that has eaten itself fat”, past participle of obedere “to eat all over, devour”. From “ob” - about, because of. And “edere” - eat. So the origins of the word “obesity” goes all the way back to the 1600s. It’s not a modern invention to “oppress” people. We could always go back to the word “corpulent”. Which hold on, I’m gonna look that one up and be right back.
Replying to myself to expand upon language origins. The word “corpulent” (n): “fleshy, portly, stout”, (late 14th century) from Latin corpulentus “fleshy, fat”. From “corpus” - body, and “ulentus” - full of. I vote if they have a problem with “obese”, then we should go back to “corpulent”, since it predates “obese” so it’s obviously better, right?????
The french is Obésité, not Obèsitè. :)
The prononciation is different depending on the direction of the accent over the e.
I would mess it up too if I wasn't a native speaker. French is a difficult language.
F.-J. J. Thanks for the clarification! I was just copying from what I found on the web.
Can we just go back to corpulent? It’s far more accurate for the obese folks of today.
zena creps how about ‘roley poley’?
Why are they offended by the word “obesity” but not the word “fat,” which isn’t even a medical term?! The word “fat” is like a hurtful schoolyard term!
The term "fat" tells us directly, about the thing they possess in huge amounts.
Fat is a short and simple word. Maybe they prefer it, cuz they are simpletons?
Actually you can't call them fat either, they all start crying like toddlers when you do cause they're "just big-boned" or "thick" xD
There's a lot of societal stigma around mental illness.
I've decided I'm not clinically depressed.
What a MOOD
👏👏👍😂!
Your content is motivational and addictive! Great job.
Fuck your motivation! Hahah jk. That's what swole would say. But I agree, so motivational. It has really helped me stay on track and be consistent without giving up. I love this anti victim mentality.
That's weird! If we really need to argue on words, "Fat People" feels a lot more "Slury" than "Obese People". FMPOV!
Right?? Lol.
I don't understand why they have a problem with the word obese. Like I was 300lbs and fully acknowledged I was obese, it wasn't insulting to me it was fact and I accepted that. I have lost over 100lbs in the last year and a half, but I'm still obese according to BMI. And that's perfectly fine because again it's fact. I personally started losing weight when things began to hurt badly, especially my back. I couldn't walk a block, heck I couldn't walk across the street without breathing hard and hurting. So I changed and continue to strive to better myself as I am far from my goals.
Keep up the good work!
Great work 🙌💗
You have former fat privilege😉
Proud of you 💖💕
When i was 16 years old i reached my highest weight, which was 230lbs (at 5'2" height). It took me about 3 years to lose weight, but i managed to lose 115lbs. It was all a change on my diet and some exercise. No pills, no surgeries, no magic teas, etc. I started by cutting off soda, sweets, everything that has too much added sugars. And as to workout, i started walking then later on started going to a gym for a few months as a visitor (i was in college, couldnt afford it). I also used youtube videos to workout. The thing is, you dont have to make expensive fancy diets or pay five stars gym memberships, you just need to want it enough to commit to it.
I’m a biologist, human biologist specifically. I use the term obesity as a classification for people with certain anthropometric measurements that are classified as obese (I use waist to hip ratio, but BMI is another). It is important for my research because obese individuals have higher levels of inflammation and when I’m doing a study on inflammation I have to control for obesity or my numbers will be inaccurate. Inflammation biomarkers will be inflated and conclusions could be misleading. My studies are not centered on obese individuals, I take all data, and control for obesity. I guess this is now discriminatory. 🤷♀️
Yes. You are a certified fatshamer now. Congrats!
im so sorry your education is falling upon deaf ears bc that sounds really interesting, i wish ppl would stop being so offended and just take some accountability
Yeah!!!! Facts!!!!
They should start their own nation with mobility scooter highways & cooking grease fountains, that way no more oppression. Not sure if their army would fair too well though, the rations alone would probably bankrupt the taxpayer
I think the cleveland show had that but i forgot which city/ state
Wall E will save them 😝
Call it "Lard Angeles"
I love when people try to attach or remove labels from themselves just by willing it away. That’s not how that works you earn labels based on actions not words.
So true!
Uhg, my own generation is so embarrassing. They used to be those kids taking screaming fits in Walmart.
😂🤣😂🤣
You're a big object 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 that comment killed me!
“Fat” sounds more insulting that “obese” in my opinion, although both are accurate descriptions.
"You're too much person" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Meh I am obese... 3 pounds from being overweight but still I am currently obese....Hopefully when school reopens in September in my county I am a few pounds into an overweight bmi
Hopefully it doesn't rain this evening - need to get my steps in for Cardio.
Obesity is the medical condition of fat. When you go to the doctor they have underweight, normal, overweight, obese and morbidly obese. Don’t like it? Don’t know what to tell you!
I hope the person reading this is having a beautiful day, takes steps towards their goals and knows how awesome they are. Anyone who tries to tell you that your goals are pointless or that you'll never be good enough is WRONG. The only person's opinion that should matter in your life is your own. You're the one living in your consciousness and body after all :) So what are you waiting for? Say some affirmations, grab a notebook, plan and take 3 small steps towards a goal NOW. You're on CZcams, you likely have 5 minutes to spare and it all adds up! Instead of 0 time towards a better life, even 5 minutes for 30 days adds up to 150 minutes.
That's a lovely message
@@alesharea6568 Thank you :)
Beginning of 2019 I was 295lbs (I’m 5’9) Heaviest I’ve ever been. Pcos with insulin resistance (prediabetic), high blood pressure, I had brown rashes in between my theighs/underarms/my breast, and I also have a heart murmur which made cardio nearly impossible for more than 5 mins before I felt like dying. I walked a lot for work, I was a single mother of a young child, and I suffer from depression. I HATED fitness. I have three brothers and two are body builders, one a personal trainer who tormented me about my weight constantly. They were and are assholes, but they were right about my weight being a problem. April 2019 I decided to join the gym and you know what I did that first day? Took a yoga class. And I loved it. And I kept doing it. Eventually I started playing around on the machines and going to parks with my daughter. Eventually I found out I was strong as hell and started powerlifting thinking if I can’t be thin, maybe I can be strong. I got down to 272lbs after months and months of hard work. September that year, I got WLS and enrolled in therapy to help with my eatting and give me a tool to help combat my pcos. It completely changed my life and diet and opened my eyes to how much I was actually eating. As of this morning I am 191lbs, I weight lift 4x’s a week and aim for 10,000 steps a day because I love to go for walks. My blood pressure is normal, my sugar is perfect, the rashes are gone, and I can fit workout clothes from any brand I want which used to piss me off when I was big because most places didn’t carry XXL workout gear that was my style. I didn’t even realize how much better life is after getting my health together and I’m almost at my goal weight. There are days I hate my body, and I sure don’t look like a fitspo, but I wouldn’t trade it in the world for my old one. I’m still working on myself and I won’t stop. If you’re reading this and you are thinking of losing weight I recommend two things: therapy first and foremost because trauma and emotional eatting are fucking real. The second is find something active you love to do and do it more. Dancing, walking, swimming, idc just start there. Make little choices that make you life better like quitting soda, or candy, stuff like that. Find what motivates you and keep it up. I promise that even if it has nothing to do with your looks, it will improve the hell out of your mental health. I am a real person, my story is real, and I have nothing to gain by telling you this but: fuck fat acceptance, fuck confusing your self worth by what you weigh, and fuck staying unhappy in a body you don’t like because you are lazy/trying to prove a point to the world. I know it’s defeating. I know it’s hard, I know how much it can feel hopeless but I promise you, as someone who was plus sized their entire life up to this point.... it’s worth it to improve your health.
“Hard work privilege” gonna use that from now on😂
I really wanted Taco Bell while I was driving around today because I heard they were taking a bunch of old menu items off. I had "taste nostalgia"..? But instead, I pulled over and turned on Papa Swolio so I didn't give in lol
🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
It does make sense to me. I am on my own personal health journey coming from 340 pounds and now I'm at 180 (still not done obviously). When I was at my heaviest, and just hated myself so much, people and posts like this would have made me feel good at the time. It would actually make me feel okay being the way I was.
Now that I've been 2 years now working my ass off and taking care of my health, I see how much bullshit this is. It is promoting sickness and early death and living life as a victim. These people don't love themselves as they are claiming, they actually hate themselves and want other people to make them feel better rather than having to do the work themself.
I’m still fat - but I’m working on it. I love my 50 minute cardio sessions and healthy meals. I love lifting weights. My body already feels so much healthier. It’s stronger, more flexible and my body thanks me for treating it right.
I finally found a snack that I have to completely cut out my diet it's popcorn. I ate some Last night and know I feel completely constipated and sick
Oooh I feel that. After my stomach shrunk from eating whole foods, popcorn sits in my belly like gravel.
My favorite snacks are nuts and seeds. 🤤
My favourite snack is choc chip buttons...... I ate them i pretended I didn't buy eating a cucumber. I don't have self control I just don't buy it anymore
6:55 - “I’m sorry, SICK CARE system...” SICK BURN, Papa Swolio. You said it. Our system is already broken, and these self-inflicted medical issues are stressing it out even further.
I think people don't understand statistics. they will see someone they know who is larger and also healthy (usually young, but that's beside the point) and someone else they know who is smaller and also has health problems, then assume "well, if my big friend is healthier than my small friend, then it's clearly okay to be bigger". Completely missing the fact that statistically the bigger person is more likely to have health problems long-term and the smaller person is less likely. Health is more than just size, but keeping a relatively healthy size is something that's (for the most part) under your control and is going to help you in the long run.
I weighted about in the 130’s and wasn’t happy. I couldn’t buy these cute clothes that were in a smaller weight. So I started to exercise to lose about 100 pounds. But it didn’t help, I have to clean my house all by myself and I have depression and stress because of my family. So I started to go on the treadmill to meditate to music so then I gain confidence by doing that. Now I am about 116 pounds. ❤️
I love working out, eating right, and practicing mindfulness. I feel overall better than I was twenty pounds heavier. I've still got a lot to lose but I'm feeling better in mind, body, and soul.
If my 6yo can handle switching his diet, and eating more veggies and salads and non processed foods and be happy about it, so can everyone else. Took 3 meals of just healthy foods and he's ASKING for salads and veggies, my 5yo luckily has always loved healthy foods, but I've been implementing change slowly over the last few weeks in my family's diets, my husband is the most resistant to it, but puts up with it lol. They're eating more like I do, and though I can't control what my husband brings home, I can stash it away in a cabinet and pretend it's not here. If my 6yo can happily change his diet, and not be offended by the word fat, or chunky, I'm certain full grown adults can. My 6yo has definitely inspired me to continue on a healthier journey, and though I can't afford the grass fed and organic stuff, there are still healthier options than what we were eating for so long, and I don't want my kids growing up unhealthy and afraid of scientific or descriptive words. I really don't understand this fat movement, don't bully people obviously, but if something someone says about weight in general offends you... it's a you problem.
Denise, you're a great mom! 👌💪🙌
I’m obese . On my weight loss journey now. Ain’t gonna give up until I reach my goal. Thanks papa swolio for your wisdom
Amen brother, too many people just want to be lazy an have others fluff there lives. Get up an work!!
When papa said ı was eating junk food in the begining. I slowly took a look at my grassfed beef
That is like objecting to being described as having an intellectual disability in favor of being called a re re. I think it is a cry for help since it is so illogical it must be an appeal to be protected as they clearly are not capable of making their own decisions.
Rejecting the word obesity is straight up denial
Trying to break below 116kg next week. It's been difficult to get below.
Keep at it I'm stuck on 102kg it's killing me but don't give up. Your weight will Plato for a while you got this
There are consequences for every action. People don't want to take any responsibility for their choices.
I'm obese currently, none of the stuff you said offended me, its actually inspiring me to change my bad habits.
I am a lil more partial to tea but yes let's get into it!
They have a right to be fat but they don’t have a right to force the rest of us to pay higher insurance premiums to share the high cost of their obesity..
Never take a water break while watching Papa. Thank you for coming to my ted talk
Thank you! This needed to be said!
@swolenormous i was almost 400 lbs. i hurt, had no energy and thouroughly hated life. I had a health scare and decided my fat ass needed to lose weight. 5 years, ups and downs, diet and exercise i have lost 160 pounds. Struggling with the last 40 and excess skin but it was worth it. I have a life again and a better one!
Being overweight is like being in a personal prison. I was overweight the whole of my childhood and my teens and I feel I have missed out enjoying my youth. All it takes is a decision and I have now lost 40+lbs and now 80% muscle and I am happiest I've ever been.
The reference to 1984 was great! We read that in advanced composition senior year (this year) in high school and I loved it so thanks for the reference Papa🙏🏻🙏🏻
Love some no bullshit content to get me pumped for my workout 😅 this is like being like “replace the word “cancer” with “smokers”, then see how it sounds”
Big empty words, trying to sound smart....
Lost 54# still have a way to go. Was diabetic 2 at 274. With the loss of those pounds no more diabetes, no going out of breath tying my shoes or bending over. Not done yet, changes keep me motivated.
😍 love ya papa swolio😍
Idk why I feel so calm when I watch your videos. Kind of therapeutic to me.
I haven’t seen it yet but I know one of these people are gonna say “The r word used to be a medical term, but no one says that anymore! ” as an argument to stop saying obese. Calling it now.
I know you're not saying that. But if I can give a theoritical counter argument to the person that would say that.
Obesity was never used as a playground insult. It doesn't have the same connotation and people had ruined the meaning of retarded. (I am honestly more afraid of people doing the same to the word "trigger" as a medical term).
What's the R word??
@@alesharea6568 Retard used to be a medical term for people with disabilities.
In the 1960s and 1970s there were very few people who were over weight or obese the obesity academic started in the 1980s what the hell happened in the last 30 odd years. What happened is a tone of junk food and jobs becoming more semiatry more office jobs and jobs like that before the 80s most jobs were mandatory
I like your humor and slang. Funny to watch :D
Thank you for talking about objective reality. 💛👍
I mean if you change " Obesity is responsible for hundreds of deaths per year" to "fat people is responsible for hundreds of deaths per year" yeah that kind of changes quite a few things, like it would suggest that a gourp of fat people are going around killing hundreds of people and it would also no longer be grammatically correct because Obesity is a medical trem so it treated as a Singular noun so the word *is* is used to sate ownership of the fallowing action, were fat people refers to a gourp and would as such be considered a plural noun as as such would use the word *are* to sate ownership of the fallowing action
I am in a Facebook art group. Somebody posted an art piece of a morbidly obese women by a beach, take that as you will. Post was pretty much saying what you would expect, every size is beautiful and worthy. I replied saying how dangerous and reckless it is to be promoting slow suicide and got some backlash. I tried being very logical and civil about it, but you just can't get through their heads. They really think that being obese is normal and should be accepted, even if it's been proven to cause life threatening diseases and early death. The fat acceptance movement is basically promoting suicide just so they can live in their little happy fantasy world.
This is why Pillar #1 is Community.
Amen!!!
I, for one, am tired of the losers forcing us into acceptance!!!
I reject conformity!!!
Couldn't have said it better Papa Swolio. They can trash their bodies, NOT the English language!
A lot of Obese people think that really bad fast food is Soooo good. Fast food tastes horrible I cannot relate to this addiction at all. A bland mystery patty on a cheap af bun with way to much sauce and old lettuce, no thanks.
Sack delivered
I said a model looked unhealthy on ig, (emaciated was the truth), the swim brand said, "they celebrate all sizes, and unhealthy is and 'unkind' thing to say" Lolololol ❄ culture
So,so stupid that's like someone having cancer and finding it offensive when you say terminally ill and they want you say unwell instead because it makes them feel better, but it means the same thing and it's not going to change anything.
I don't indulge in mean words like fat, and obese, i use the correct word about over average weight people "vertically challenged"
Once you go off fast food, it tastes terrible if you go back on.
THE FKN THUMBNAIL 😂😂😂 oh no. Here we go!!!
The ones who make people 'do what they want' is the food industry. By researching how much sugar has to go into people's food to get them to like it, so they keep buying it. Or to make unhealthy, processed or fast food cheaper than for example vegetables and fruit and stuff.
Extra early for the salty sack
the Truth Hurts that's why the word Obese , Obesity , and Fat bothers people
Sensitive people should get off the internet ✊
I did the work and dropped 120 lbs in a year. I'll find more before pics and post more comparisons to piss these people off lol
Unrelated to the topic, you might want to tone it down on the "did you assume my gender" type comments. It's not a good look, and you seem like a good guy. Stay strong, bro! 💪
I was 300lbs, down to 240lbs, I'm overweight and I know it, I dont get all butt hurt when my Dr. tells me this or I need to lose more weight. But I'm a guy so yeah, theres that.
I'm pretty far left but also from a different culture and the equation of fat criticism and systemic racism infuriates me. My family would slap me silly if I tried to say that being obese is healthy (and I don't agree with it either, I've lost over 80 pounds and still losing because being fat is exhausting and limiting). We have a lot of respect for people who've spent years on higher schooling and this denial of scientific evidence by Americans baffles us.
I'm never getting used to neither coffee nor tea 😥
First off, the most that anyone can ask is to be more mindful of the settings and be more considerate of their choice of words. But to try to ban a MEDICAL term? Not going to happen, especially for people that want to be helped.
More importantly, the life skills that is lacking, like how to deal and tolerate such? They are too self conscious and too selfish. There are obese people that actually do want help, and want to change.
They try it with sex related terms, too.
@@BlackCroft666 if you're talking about the Diet Culture is like Rape Culture podcast on the Daily Swole, I saw that. The problem with some of these people is that even if they do raise up partially valid points, they end up getting in their own way, and they don't realize it. They need help, and I mean that in a good way.
Cryptic messages... say what you mean?
Every video feels like the same video at this point
All obese people are overweight but not all overweight people are obese...
I agree most obesity is self inflicted. I will differ with you on the point that fat people don't get treated differently. I can't say what everyone has experienced, but I have personally witnessed how obese people get pushed into alot of trials and new programs. There is a prejudice that exist when a fat person is brought into a hospital or rehab facility. I still believe there needs to be more self reflecting, and responsibility taken for someone's becoming fat or obese, but I can be real and say there are different procedures when they come in for rehab or check ups.
I'm working to have shoulders like yours
So much victim playing. Fuck.
I've been heavy since I was really young and now, at 23, I'm finally starting to make healthy and mindful decisions when it comes to my health. I'm so tired of making myself sick by eating shit food and being sedentary. I've cut out sugar, fast food, bread, dairy, pasta and other carbs, as well as gluten because I can't tolerate it, and I'm down 12 lbs after 2 or 3 weeks. I feel so much better physically AND mentally. My goal is to lose another 40 or 50 lbs, and watching vids like yours, Papa, are helping me along the way.
But man. These fuckers are unbelievable.
It's a shame, u can only give a video thumbs up once. I'd give this one a thousand likes!
"dont expose your eye holes to it"
I've never been obese, but I do carry a big fucking 20+ kg backpack for school and that shit fucked the tendons in my feet up; until it got easier cause I got used to it. Not the point, being obese fucking hurts, that's the point.
Fat and obese is literally the same as skinny and anorexic but opposite
my eyes will look where I choose! I've made my choice!
I lost 64 pounds since January on keto. According to my BMI I am no longer morbidly obese, just obese. So im not super fat, im just fat.
1. Obesity isn't "crushing our healthcare system". There are upwards of 70 million people who don't even have it. The sick care system is just fine.
2. You don't pay for it with your taxes. Taxes don't fund federal spending,ever. That's not how sovereign fiat currency issuing nations work.
3. I love your content. Keep kickin ass👍✌️
Obesity is the medical definition of "fat". Overweight and obesity are defined as abnormal or excessive fat accumulation that presents a risk to health. A crude population measure of obesity is the body mass index (BMI), a person’s weight (in kilograms) divided by the square of his or her height (in metres). A person with a BMI of 30 or more is generally considered obese. A person with a BMI equal to or more than 25 is considered overweight.
Overweight and obesity are major risk factors for a number of chronic diseases, including diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and cancer. Once considered a problem only in high income countries, overweight and obesity are now dramatically on the rise in low- and middle-income countries, particularly in urban settings.
"That word (obesity) only exists to perpetuate the dehumanization ( ...) of fat people"
Excuse me, isn't the word obesity meant to qualify a condition within the HUMAN body? And why would the word fat be less offensive? I mean, even tho I reached a normal weight, when I look at myself I think that I'm fucking fat, but I'm not obese. Fat doesn't mean anything and is kinda subjective while obese is based on pure FACTS
If this is the first of his videos you watch, there are better ones out there.
Better ones from him...
Obesity is desuting I have no only one friend who is over weight. All my other friends are fit and healthy because they all train in muaythai boxing this is not because I dislike fat people its just I get one better with people who I have things in common with
The reason they keep talking about “dehumanization” is because that’s what they do, so they project it onto the people they disagree with.
te amoo
I remember when you were crucified if you used the word "fat" in relation to a person 🤦♀️
Swings and roundabouts people 🤷♀️
I'm fat, I'm obese, I'm "too much human" (thankful I'm not morbidly obese anymore)
Just pick one and run with it as far as I'm concerned cause I'm all 3 👌
They worry more about their feelings getting hurt then the damage they do to their own body
Salty af..but soooo true
Talk about growing beards
I get so confused sometimes .... wasnt it the other way around a while ago ? that calling someone fat was offensive but obese was more tolerated .... i must b getting old LMAO, thank god i still ave my health ;) *GRINS* too far ?
So here is where I am. I’m 28 5.10 165. Rock climber. Workout hard 4-5 times a week climb outside three times a month. Unfortunately I moved away from the mountains for grad school. Since I have been here and don’t have easy access to climbing I have gained 20 lbs. I’m not cut anymore. My diet is actually better and I am drinking less and don’t smoke weed anymore. Im in Missouri and don’t have access. I don’t know why I have gained weight and can’t get cut. Everything is better except I can’t climb. I used to climb instead of working out in a gym. I would climb for three hours then work out. Now I work out with dips, pull-ups, curls, triceps extensions, bench, squats, and full kettle bell workouts and can’t get cut. Any ideas? I’m stronger but have built fat around my core. Any advice form the swole fam?
That happened to me when I moved away from the beach to the middle of the desert. I was also (and still am) 5' 10" and went from 170ish (pretty cut) to 194 (easily grabable belly fat). Except I was eating fajitas and burritos constantly for like three months straight. Basic weight training and cardio (running) wasn't enough for me to get semi cut again. Had to include circuit training (I did crossfit) to get there. I did a lot of upper body stuff, too, to include lots of pullups (which I had to do anyway because it was a job requirement). When weight training, I aimed to be able to get to a sort of challenging amount of weights and be able to do more sets/reps with them than I did trying to continuously increase my max (if that makes sense). I would do reps until failure if I had a work out partner/spotter. I'm totally not a fitness expert, but that's what worked for me to get to the type of strength and fitness (and semi cutness) that I wanted to be at.
okisoba thanks dude. I am trying to find someone I work with to work out with me, but unfortunately everyone at work thinks I’m odd for eating vegetables and refuse to work out with me. I will try and just keep pushing myself.
@@ryanwitt9611 Do you work in the meat processing industry or something? Not sure why you eating vegetables would stop someone from working out with you. Maybe one of your fellow masters program colleagues would be up for working out with you once you get to know some of them. I was in the military at the time I shed the belly fat and almost everyone at the base gym was there to work/be supportive when necessary. It was easy to find someone for a quick spot if needed from other gym goers willing to spare a minute for your last set. I didn't try to push it, though, because I know some people don't like being interrupted.
okisoba I work in retail. I am starting in the fall so I hope so. The school also has a climbing gym so after covid ends I hope I can find some workout/climbing friends. Today something about my workout gave me a kick in the ass and I got that pumped up psych and I put in some fucking work and felt great. On the way home my girl wanted pizza she got hers and I got some fish and made a kick ass fish and veg. My girl mid way through the meal through pizza out and asked to go run, she used to run cross country in school and college, she is going to start coming to the gym with me. We are doing our own thing, but she wants to
get back to fitness. This was a good ass day.
