My very first post!
@vonschlick
I’ve been thinking about starting on social media for a while now, and recently one of my favorite homesteading people @mericanhomestead made a few posts about Steemit. It seemed like a good place to start, so I signed up.
Interests
My main interest is homesteading. However, due to several health problems I am also interested in health, diets, and the like. I also dabble a little in Science Fiction and Fantasy writing and my son is trying to get me into video games.
Homesteading
My wife and I decided several years ago that homesteading is one of our major goals. We started preparing by trying to get out of debt, improving our gardening skills, and watching hours and hours of videos from people who have already been successful. I am already retired because of my health and my wife retires in June of 2018. Our main focus right now is on getting our current home ready to sell so we can buy our land. We are going to start looking for property in Tennessee and go from there.
Health
I am also taking several steps to improve my health and diet. I am starting a water-only fast to lower my blood pressure, cholesterol, triglycerides, and other problems. I plan to start posting my progress each day as I complete it. Once that is finished my wife and I will start following the Dr. John McDougall starch diet found in his book, The Starch Solution. My wife has been a vegetarian since she was a teenager and a vegan for the past several years. When I first married her 25 years ago I became a vegetarian, but my diet consisted of a great deal of cheese and meat substitutes and I ended up gaining a lot of weight. Because of this, I decided that if I was going to be fat, I might as well go back to meat. I’ve learned a lot since then so I am starting fresh. I’ve already gone from a high of 180 pounds to 160 pounds just by limiting my soda, meat, and dairy intake.
Writing
As for the writing, I love reading Science Fiction and Fantasy. When I was practically bed ridden for a couple of years I started trying to write a little bit due to boredom and continue to do so every once in a while when I find the time. I might start posting a short story every once in a while as time permits.
I’m looking forward to sharing my journeys on homesteading, health, and writing to help others as well as to get some feedback and advice from others who have already accomplished what I am trying to do.
Thanks!

Still learning all we can about homesteading. We are at the end of our preparation phase and will be buying land for our homestead in the next year. I will start posting about our journey and what we learned soon.

Welcome on Steemit @vonschlick! I've been vegan for more than 2 years now and I've been vegetarian for the past 5 years prior to this. Me and humanity have benefit a lot from those diets.
I know a lot about the benefit of fasting. Good luck with this!
And I'm glad you followed some of the recommendation I gave in regard to making a nice introduction post. That is whether you read about them or not.
Take care and Steem on!
Thanks!
I read your how to post and tried to incorporate as much as I could, but I'm new to all of this and still learning.

Hi vonschlick,
Thanks for upvoting my post :) I come to return the favor and read this intro. Now I understand, Everything is frequency energy and vibration, with that said. I have been training and doing nutrition for poeple for over 30 years, off meat for over 2 years since I have awakened to my new journey.
Good luck on Steemit, I you will be successful.
Cheers
