  • So my “routine” is to not purposefully exercise at all.

    Hear me out.

    Working out at gym or just lifting for the sake of exercise drives me crazy. I always want to be accomplishing something or getting something done. So I bike to work twice a week. That’s 18 miles round trip in a hilly area. Great for cardio and legs. I also rock climb with my son twice a week for roughly 2-3 hours. So thats uppwr body and hand strength. Throw in an “active” weekenf life and i get plenty of exercise.

    Now diet is the big one. Last year, after some experimentation I removed nearly all sugars from my diet. The calories I would have consumed from straight sugars I replaced with complex carbs (bread, pasta, rice). It was a hard transition to make and I had to teach myself to crave different things. But the result was 40lbs down over one year (205 > 165ish) . I can see my abs (not a super 6 pack or anything) and I get those sexy little hip lines that my wife loves. The one downside is that none of my pants fit and I have to cinch them with belts.


















  • Hey there. I experience the same thing. The voices, the music, in the white noises around me.

    I’m not schizophrenic (or at least I hope not). It is a weird phenomenon that some of us experience that seems to be our brains trying to match important patterns, like speech, out of noise.

    Heck, Devin Townsend even wrote a song about it “Voices in the Fan.”

    If it’s really bothering you or scaring you then, yeah, you could seek help, but if you’re not experiencing auditory hallucinations outside of this context then my completely unqualified opinion is you’re probably fine.
