Read Think & Write

In 2018 I socialized more than I did this in the years before. We had a great family and friends ski vacation and a good time in summer and fall in the Alps. I had a surgery in March and could’t do any sports for 6 weeks after that. However, I started again with starting strength and quickly made up my lost gains. I started to train a bit more slowly and wisley with more breaks in between and a focus on pure strength. My blood pressure was slightly elevated. At the end of the year I tried to cut down on animal proteins and included more vegies in my diet. I still smoke when I drink. This is a bad habit as well as my cravings for sugar but I am getting better at this in my forties.

What did I learn?

Eat fewer animal products. I did that already 5 years ago. In 2017 and 2018, due to the strength training, I increased my protein intake with meat and whey. According to the last books I’ve read, too many proteins are not related to longevity.
Take small steps. Listen to the body and take the long view. No hurry no pause. Train for the long run, instead of chasing a short-term record. This applies to all areas of life. Work on your desires and goals every day. If you write something every day, then you will quickly write a book. At least from the number of pages.
You have to appreciate your wife more.
