The assumption that people who eat mostly healthy secretly want to just nonstop binge junk food and fast food is interesting (and false). Visible in the language. “You should *allow* yourself junk food.” And if that’s where you currently are, ZERO JUDGEMENT. But for my part, I haven’t wanted-

New car shopping complete. I will reveal it when I actually pick it up Thu 👀 I will miss my Outback, but my heart was elsewhere, so I went with something different.

Yes I enjoy low-carb bagels unironically. Regular bagels are GOATed. Don't misunderstand. BUT. Low-carb bagels have this... thick, squishy texture that I sometimes really want. I WANT THE SQUISH IN MY MOUTH SOMETIMES, OK??

Don’t change to seek the approval of others. Catty bitches will ALWAYS find reasons to talk shit behind your back. Because it was never you. It’s them. Isn’t it better to have them talk shit about a version of you that you prefer? “Ew he’s so obsessed with fitness. ” I sure am! And I love it.

Still need to book hotels, but I've taken another step towards my weird plan of walking from MA to Portland, ME in Sept! Got dates pencilled in. 2-3 day walk, and then a weekend in Portland to chill and unwind. Because I wanna. Because spending the several whole days walking is fun!

I always go out of my way to read actual search results. DuckDuckGo lets you turn off the AI search. But. MAN they test me. You search up a thing. “Oh this article looks promising.” *click* History of the thing, etymology of the thing, why people think about the thing… JUST GET TO THE POINT FFS 😤🤬

OKE HUNDRED PERCENT THIS. Take care of yourself to the best of your ability, and your 30s and beyond can honestly be more enjoyable than your 20s and teens. Your emotions settle down, you learn to value important things more. Enjoy quieter moments more. Plus I always fuckin’ hated school :P

Gyms really need like… a lifeguard. Both for, “Hey, you’re gonna decapitate yourself with that bar (idiot).” And, “Hey, you’ve been sitting on this machine for 20 minutes scrolling your phone. Please get (the fuck) off. There’s literally a line forming.”

Sloooooooooooowly, nature's healing VEEEEEERRRYYYY SLOWWWWWWLY. Investors running away from AI stocks, companies turning. The bubble has burst. But it's like if the sun disappeared right now. It would take 8 mins before we here on earth would notice it.

Because of how optimized your body is, movement is VITAL. Take the lymphatic system. Unlike the circulatory system, it has no dedicated pump (the heart) It uses the contraction of muscles (as you move throughout the day) to shuttle lymph around your body. Why? Because humans have always been moving.

Watching a dev/engineer focused vid breaking down the Wordpress vulnerability. And there are comments like, "Uhh, Englsh please." Uhhh... this video is not for you, please. Not every video is gonna be broken down into lowest common denominator speak. Not every video is for you.

One of the reasons I promote #ZigHealthTip (s) as tools is bc [generic] you must willingly WANT to change. Like I just saw this TikTok: - It’s fine to be sedentary - BuT BeInG SeDeNtArY Is uNhEaLtHy - It’s fine to be unhealthy. *mic drop* And like… If someone has that kind of view on life… OK then

OK, Monaleo gets the Top Barz award this week: "Werbenjägermanjensen, get it? (Huh) Bitch, I been number one" www.youtube.com/watch?v=qVLm...

When genAI first came on the scene, as someone working in software, of course I was jazzed! But then came the decline. Found out more about the environmental impact. The IP theft. And of course the breaking point came when I realized I was getting dumber. I used to play regEx golf (look it up).

I spend all of my collaborative energy at work because I have to. And it is DRAINING 😵 That’s why on my own, I do prefer doing projects solo. Like cooking. STAY OUT OF MY KITCHEN. DON’T TOUCH ANYTHING. I’ll call you when the food is ready. YOU get to wash the dishes after. I won’t interfere 😝

Is YouTube shorts worth pursuing? I’m still in that phase where I’m pondering TikTok, but I despise it, so I don’t really wanna do it? But at the same time, I feel like I could do a lot of good with nice little short fitness and health videos. I feel like they could possibly reach a lot of people.

#ZigHealthTip "Why bother? Diets have a 5% success rate." OK so... 1.The reason that statistic ever existed is because of crash diets. Of course those fail. You need LIFESTYLE CHANGE not eating celery for 8 weeks. 2.Yale has a ~4% acceptance rate... so why even bother applying? Believe in yourself!

#ZigHealthTip EVERY bite, lick, nibble, etc. adds up. “I barely eat! Here’s what I’m eating breakfast/lunch/dinner!” And that’s ALL the food that passes your lips? “Well… I did grab that handful of almonds (160cal). And took a bite of my BF’s pizza (80cal)… and scraped out the jar of PB (120cal).”

Just as a general FYI to dispel any assumptions: I give out #ZigHealthTip (s) as tools people can use for their own goals. Personally, I do not care what you eat or do. It is both none of my business, aaaand… I just don’t care. There’s 24 hours in a day, and I need all of them for other things.

I love that every time Elon tries to act like a real boy, rather than a pile of biological waste in a human suit, people immediately clown him. He just wants to be one of the boys, but no matter how much money he has, he never will be. And it’s up to us to keep reminding him of that.

#ZigHealthTip bonus. Since a scale isn't always handy, I'll under or over-estimate based on whether I'm trying for a deficit or surplus at a given time -- and why I advise ppl to never to attempt tiny (< 200-300 cal) deficits/bulks. Bc good luck trying to be in a 20 cal deficit XD

#ZigHealthTip If you’re serious about calorie logging, get a food scale. Those serving sizes — ex: 12 cookies (160g) — are often VERY rough. Weigh those 12 cookies, and much like that AI summary, there’s a non-slim chance this estimate is WAY off. This means your calorie counting is also way off.

Doomsday trailer came out... aaaaaand... don't give a shit. Oh look it's Mr. Xzibit and Professor Eyeballs and w/e other shit I recognize from better works of fiction, all glossed up and pretty. BUT Clayface done as body horror... OK, NOW you have my attention >.> www.youtube.com/watch?v=OGO4...

#ZigHealthTip Quite a few mutuals getting on GLP-1s, so I will reiterate: PLS use them as a boost to give you a window to revamp your nutrition and exercise regimen. I say this because, just looking around the web, FAR TOO MANY use them as a convenient crutch to avoid addressing their food addiction

Zig needs a cool baseball cap. Send me cool baseball cap ideas. Pls and thanks! It's for a thing. A SECRET THING I'm doing.

Unless you have a disability that prevents you from speaking, CAN WE STOP USING THOSE AWFUL AI VOICES. Especially that chipper female one. Then again, hearing it makes me immediately close my phone and stop watching the video in question, so maybe its a good phone detox method 🤔🤔🤔

I like shorts because, with my long legs and narrow waist, pants aaaaare... difficult :P Finding my size in stores is basically not possible. Most jeans my waist size fit like capris. Or I need to belt them up and look like a medieval serf wearing a burlap sack. But I can walk super fast!

I wanna do more long walks. Like, the goal eventually is to walk from eastern Poland to the coast of France. At 40 miles a day (totally doable) That's ~30 days of walking. Plus I'm def planning longer stays in certain areas I want to explore. So essentially 2 mos. That's a sabbatical.

The scariest part of being an adult for many is that your decisions are your own. You can have dessert for dinner and stay up as late as you want. No one is gonna ground you. But you get to reap the consequences of those decisions later. So you gotta learn to be your own parental voice. Many don’t.
