I just had a huge insight about self-care and health. I treat so many things I own with respect and guard them from damage but the most important/complex thing I own I treat like crap.
Why do we take care of everything but our bodies? Our bodies are machines and need to be looked after …realizing this I want to try and repair my beat up body!!!
Seriously…it’s a project now lol
I’m trying to take better care of my body. I mostly am good to it but I need to build up strength and endurance
All I can say is, “perform, rest & recover” when it comes to taking care & exercising our bodies. 
That’s awesome 
if u are good to your body it will be good to you 
I’ve come a long way in how I eat but I need to do a lot better. I think for me projects sometimes stress me out and I need to be mindful.
Anyways…I hope you get the strength and endurance you need. Then you’ll be super lilly lol
@tarnishedLotus Eating is also a major factor in, “performance, rest & recovery” in regards to nutrition. Eating the right carbohydrates, intaking protein and drinking lots of water is essential to a good & healthy body.
Lol! Yeah, I eat healthy food and I exercise. But, I don’t exercise quite enough. My energy just isn’t there but I know I need to push through anyway
I eat healthy food since young, while still eating what makes me happy (you can see with all the pastries I buy lol) I don’t eat enough meat though because I don’t like it
For exercise I’m not regular, sometimes I work out every day and then I stop for a couple of months lol
I need to exercise more
What about les oeufs? Not meat but high in protein.
I like eggs,eat some sometimes
Not as much as I’d like. Strength training doesn’t work on the meds, it’s impossible to gain muscle. Do a bit of light cardio. Don’t have the healthiest diet as i rely on nutrient drinks because of swallowing issues.
Maybe people with mental illness often neglect physical health… But it is good that everyone here wants to train their body. I try to lower sugar intake.
schizophrenia and social media made it hard for me. I was lost in misinformation on how to treat my body well for awhile
I try to take care of my body by exercising and eating and drinking well .
I nolonger smoke or drink alcohol.
Also Contrast yherapy such as Sauna then cold shower or plunger or bath.
Said to be good for mdntal health and entire body and so.
I’m trying to. When I was even taking a small dose of rexulti, running/ jogging was very difficult. After a couple months of going off of it and titrating onto abilify, running has become so much easier. I can run quite easily now, less so on inclines, but flat course is very easy. If I can run and cycle decently for the next decade of my life I think I will have a lot of joy of my younger years back. I eat pretty healthy, but I have gerd which has recently worsened to chronic cough, so I’ll have to manage that with diet. Insomnia is still a problem. I could use a little more lean muscle mass, but that will depend on how active I am with running and cycling which tends to negate gains.
Yea I’m the same way lol
At least you are getting some exercise and not overdoing it on the meat tho…
I’m about to ride my new ebike to the park 
and try to get in a workout!!!
Oh, that’s cool
Enjoy the ride
I try to eat healthy but I need to work on strength training (lifting dumbbells)
Yea those dumbbells will get you right. I wish I ate healthier…so I’m gonna work on it!
Good going @tarnishedLotus!
I’m gonna start trying harder…. Gonna switch out my soda with more coffee and try to eat more fruit
