I stopped smoking about 6 months ago and i'm now 3 stone (about 50lbs) overweight. I'm on a very tight budget (government welfare) so cannot afford top of the range diets or gym passes. I walk on a daily basis lots (did have a bike but it has been stolen) so now looking for any kind of help because I've hardly ever got any energy

Whenever I take a shower I end it cold (not freezing but pretty cold), very invigorating! Jucing!! Apple juice + greens tastes just like apple juice but with a kick & is about a thosuand times healthier! Eating garlic & taking B-Vtiamins supposedly helps keep mosquitos off you but it's sure not working yet. Keep indoor plants! Watch this!

Our avatar is the rapper & actor LL Cool J. I chose him because he's in great shape & seems to have a fairly positive attitude towards life (though his claims of being the greatest rapper of all time are greatly exagerated ). If you have any suggestions for avatars please suggest them, I plan to switch it up every once in awhile.

So my average-minimum 5-7day training regime consists of: Body~ 50 push ups, 300 crunches, full body stretching (full splits!), half hour heavy cardio. Mind~ 30mins Meditation Diet~ well balanced mostly RAW vegetarian food~ Lots and I mean lots of GREENS!!! Blender freak! I mountain bike or hike almost daily and continue to train in martial arts weekly . With a solid 15+ years of training in martial arts behind me I currently studying 7 Star Praying Mantis. Past primary training was in Kenpo (11 years) with others including Wing Chun, Tang Soo Do, Tai Chi, Vhin Trin Quin, progressive Freestyle (MMA) and lots of Kick Boxing.. *Wemember Towtowl consutwation!* (Shaw Brothers fanatic :)
