(I trust doctor's scales more. This is from last month)
Hey there hive fam, I was sick earlier this year. I lost about 40 lbs. It took me a long time to get the weight back slowly. I am happy now with where I am, although I wouldn't mind adding a few more lbs.
The ideal physique IMO is one that u can easily move how u want it to and serves u the most functionally. I always picture Bruce Lee as the optimal amount of muscle for his size/frame.
I fall often.. usually, it's not too bad.. more of a stumble or lean, but it does help to have some extra fat / cushion, so I don't even mind if I get a little layer of fat to help soften those falls.
I went to the bank the other day and thought I'd easily make it to the ATM since it was only about 6 feet away.. I was wrong. even though there was a railing real close.. it was just out of reach. So, my brain told my legs NOT to bother moving and I leaned a bit too far trying to get to the railing.. as I breached my cone of balance I fell onto the hard parking lot ground, good thing there were no cars to hit.
It was more embarassing than anything. My knee did hurt some, but there were no cuts or bruising. If a fall like that had happened to me just a few months ago, it surely would've resulted in some injuries probably.
My aunt is very protective and was freaking out a little, but I argued that 'if u can't take a fall and are tough, then when u do fall one time, it will take u out..'
what do u guys think? do u agree with me or u think that she is right? she is always takes things real slow and cautious to NEVER get into any possible hurting situations.. or maybe it's just with me.. she thinks i am made of glass and can't even walk at all.. :P

It sounds like you've been through a bit of a journey with your weight, Losing 40 lbs and then slowly gaining it back can be tough, but it's great that you're happy with where you are now.
I totally get what you're saying about having a physique that's functional and allows you to move freely. Bruce Lee is definitely an iconic figure raytt.
As for your fall at the bank, I'm glad you're okay HAHAHA and it's good that you're taking steps to be more mindful of your surroundings. Having some extra cushioning can definitely help soften the blow, but it's also great that you're thinking about building up your strength and balance to prevent future falls.
I think it's awesome that you're having a conversation with your aunt about this. It's great that she's looking out for you, but it's also important to take calculated risks and be independent.
very great comment. thanks! 😉
I remember we had a Steem meet up before in Manila at Hailey Condo when you went to the bathroom you fall and ur x wife said u are used to it.I feel nervous seing u fall but I guess ur really used to it but still needs extra care when we are already getting at age...
yea.. i go too fast sometimes.. :P but i feel ok now. the pain goes away fast..

Falls are no fun. But at your age, your bones are unlikely to break, and that is the real worry, and probably one thing on your aunt's mind regarding falls. Maybe. What do I know, I'm not a doctor or psychiatrist. :D
Regarding adding weight and muscles, I am back on Creatine and I bought a really good reputable one because the ones at Walmart etc may not be pure and effective. It will add muscle mass if you work out (and I know you do) and now I hear it's good for cognitive function as well.
This is Creatine from Thorne, a reputable company which happens to be near me right here in the USA.

I'm still not a doctor so what the heck do I know. These are just words on a blog. :D

awesome. let me know if u see any difference on the creatine. I just finished a bottle of optimum nutrition pills and was taking 10 grams (4 pills) a day. It didn't seem to make any real difference, but we'll see now, if i notice any difference after NOT taking it..
This brand of Creatine is working for me already. Recommended dose is 5 mg but I'm starting with about a half scoop. So far I like it!
