There are plenty of things in this life you cannot control.
But some things you can.
I have made it my goal to become fit.
Through intermittent fasting and working my ass off in the gym.
I no longer go to the gym to do some exercise.
I'm going to the gym to crush it for an hour and to push myself forward every time I go.
One of the targets I have been aiming for is to burn a 1000 calories in the gym under an hour.
And today I succeeded for the first time and surprisingly on the bike (I thought it would be cross-trainer).
I had my last meal (A big plate of rice and chicken) at 19:00 yesterday.
(I had some ice cream planned for 19:40, but I forgot about it and when I realized it was past 20:00 and my food window had closed, it was a sad moment.)
After no food for 15 hours, I got on the bike at 10:00 the next day.
I basically fasted for an extra hour than usual.
It didn't matter, I'm realizing my body doesn't care.
It's finding energy from places I didn't even know existed.
I reached my goal and while typing this up I'm still not starving but I can eat.
My food window opens in in 24 minutes.
Looking forward to it!

It sounds amazing Mark, even your face looks smaller. Maybe it is the picture, but I certainly think fasting becomes you!
I love seeing that passion and drive in people! It is so refreshing to have such positivity in this world.
Haha, maybe it's just the angle. But I feel good.
1000 calories an hour is AMAZING.
I'm thinking that for the last 30 minutes of your fast, you could start lighting the BGE and preparing to replenish some of those calories.
A nice steak would sure do the trick!
Always!!!
Steak is high in protein ... Protein is key for muscle growth ... More muscles will naturally burn more calories ... SOOOOO .... more steak will burn more calories!
Whoa man don't get too sexy now, we don't want you leaving us for a hotter blockchain :P
lol! I am not going anywhere.
This is what happens when we set goals to ourselves, our brain is an incredible source of power and if you want you can do anything...
How does your scheme works? I think I would be starved :)
It's not bad actually. You'll be surprised.
Congrats on the achievement! I look forward to the days when I am retired and I can set up a manageable routine like this. That is probably a long ways off for me right now though. Keep crushing it!
I'm glad you're sweating, i know how hard that is.
Reminds of me of on of the first ever tweets I saw 10 years ago, which has long stuck in my mind:
'Happiness = burning 1000 cals < hour in the gym'.
Congratulations. You can now treat yourself to a large chest* and spend all afternoon upgrading buildings on @nextcolony.
*Actually you're better off opening small chests at first, otherwise you end up 'flooding' your depots.
Haha, after yes, while doing it, it's tough!
I bought a large chest indeed. Maybe a small mistake. Been upgrading whenever I can.
Yeah Mark! Love that you've found a groove with a program that is working for you! Nice workout man. You crushed it! Keep up the great routine. Glad to hear you're feeling great and seeing those encouraging results 🐣🌱💪
Thanks, Jill!
