I need to start working out again. Nothing major, just to stay healthy. Not looking to pack on muscle and obsess about it like I did in the past. I also have to look into my diet some more or figure out why the hell my body doesn't tolerate certain food. Can't have caffeine, wheat, corn, soy, oats, or rice without feeling like crap. And vegetable oils mess me up too. It's been a headache trying to figure out what I can eat vs what I have to avoid. For me it's really important to avoid the foods I can't tolerate otherwise I get a whole slew of brain problems. Can't focus, can't relax, anxiety goes up, fatigue goes up, negativity goes up, etc. It's getting really hard to figure this out though because I don't understand why the hell my body can't tolerate this stuff. All I know is that a lot of mental problems can be traced back to inflammation in the body and foods that cause inflammation should be avoided.
Oh damn... You probably already have, but just in case, have you tried digestive enzymes or alpha lipoic acids?
Nah I haven't tried either of those. I'll have to research a bit. Any brands you recommend? I've heard of digestive enzymes before. I've also heard they don't do much for some people.
I use NOW Foods' stuff. I did not feel any difference when I used the enzymes. Maybe my body didn't need them. Can't complain about their ALA tho. They're also very affordable. But if you got some extra money to spare on supplements, I would go for Anabolic Innovations' Glycobol for ALA. That one was great! Digesting a whole pizza was a joke when I used to take them.
Cool, I'll check them out. Thanks.
Nothing to really report on AM except getting increasingly frustrated with how to live a life that's authentic to me without getting caught up in all the bullshit around me. I've noticed there's a lot of fear surrounding branching off and going my own way instead of looking for constant guidance. And I've realized 90% of the time that's bad because most people are walking around with their own limiting beliefs that they'll push on you unconsciously.
The best way I can put this is in terms of video games. Older RPGs like final fantasy 7 used to give me a tough time. You could always buy the strategy guide, but it felt like cheating to me. But there was always that pull to check when I was stuck. That pull happens in real life too. It's that urge to research a topic obsessively or find someone else who can give you solid answers to your questions. I need to find my own path, without looking for so much guidance outside myself and I honestly don't think I'm ready for that yet.
The thing to take away from most of my life is I've had too much planning, not enough action. Thinking if I just planned everything right I could avoid failure. But then I ended up in a never ending loop of constantly feeling like I wasn't prepared enough for something and putting it off forever.
