      Interesting what you say about being over the munchies, I've recently given up smoking weed myself after 28 years of not going more than 48 hours without it I now seem to be putting on weight. Something that I just didn't expect especially as I still smoke tobacco  😞 unfortunately. I'd like to say I feel better for stopping but in reality I don't yet but sure I will. Then I'll attempt the tobacco quit, something that I think/know will be much harder.

        Fob and D97, thanks for sharing ! I can imagine that singing and dancing one`s heart out would burn tons of calories. I love to dance myself and i agree that it can work up a huge sweat.

        Interesting that so many people in the Japanese denim community are dependent on cancer sticks and on weed. I'm not here to judge. I know that life and stress can be unbearable at times, and we do what we can to cope. I bite the fuck out of my nails for instance, and at age 47, i find it impossible to stop. So, i can relate to compulsion – though my bad habit is mostly harmless.

        But I've witnessed near and dear people overcoming addiction by becoming exercise fanatics. And once they arrived at the stage of freedom from addiction, their lives improved considerably.

        I also recognise that pot has medicinal value -- and that in the US, where few people have health benefits, pot is the only affordable alternative.

        I hail from Oakland, remember- where medicinal pot dispensaries are everywhere !!

        While hardcore, daily fitness is a lofty life commitment, i dare say that if you truly immerse yourself, you will lose your cravings for pot, cigs and hard liquor. The increased endorpins in your body will cause such a sustained level of well-being that you'll not miss the stuff.

          where`s alex btw.?
          i always thought he was into fitness and all…

          so to share my story.

          i was in to bodybuidling 1.5years ago. doing hardcore workout 3-4times a week, 1.5years long. did some cardio on the days i wasnt at the gym (always directly outta bed, before class it was 30min. on the bike, then breakfast etc.) had a plan where ive listed everything (food,drinks,shakes etc.) so i always knew how many calories i was eating&drinking.
          had meals every 2-3hours and on and on...

          lost 20lbs (11kg) in 3 months...now im outta tha gym since 1.5years and im back to my old weight again "bummer" 🙂

            It's cool Finn. So you fell off the horse – get back on !!

            While i was in grad school, i also gave up exercise - i simply had no time. I got a little chunky (over a year and a half's time) but i simply didn't feel normal...i was not as happy during that period of time as is normal for me. Plus the stress and deadlines of grad school were awful.

            After graduation however (may 2003), i have never slipped again. The only time i take a breather is when i'm traveling or on vacation, but even then i manage to fit a coupla yoga sessions in.

                    I'm now down 26 lbs. My abs are visible again for the first time in 10 years.  Gotta keep trucking.  I wish Shub was still here.

                          I run daily i actually do a school run where I take my young son to school on the bus and then run home along the Thames in London for about 3 miles.  I then do three sets of chins, press ups, sit ups and stretching for about half an hour.  During this I plan the day ahead.  I'm then on deck working at 9.  I do a final set before bed.  I do this five days a week without fail.  On the weekends I do B.J.J. on Saturdays and Judo on Sunday with my two sons; this way I can legally throw them around and choke them out.  I do like drinking but I don't do a lot of it maybe once a fortnight.  I like cigars but I have slowly packed them in.  It wasn't so much smoking them it was more collecting them.  I'm deeply attracted to things made by hand in a traditional way; which is why I am here with you guys.  I don't take drugs I'm happily married.  This is my old buddy Marcus (from Australia - where I am originally from) we went to school together he broke the world record for rope climbing.  Now this guy is fit and 40.

                                    My usual week is 2-3 workouts with weights and 3-4 grappling workouts. Lately though, I've been having an almost continuous fever and aches in my throat. Very little working out the last 2-3 months 😕  So removed my tonsils today. Hopefully, I'll be back down to a healthy 100kg in no time 😉

                                    Seize the day and don't you cry.
