    Aight. You do you.

    I for for a fact I can work anyone breathing to the point they are maxing their heart rate and can’t stand for a half hour after we are done.

    If you are not hitting that at home it’s on you.

    I did 10 miles today on a stationary bike at a 3 minute mile pace. Then I set target heart rate of 145 and never dropped below it for 1 and a half hours as I did my circuit and strength plan.

    Get creative with it. You can use nothing but a foam roll and get a completely wrecking aerobic workout.

    I have chronic pain. I was instructed by the pain clinic I went to, under no uncertain terms, to exercise 5 times a week. No taking a day because I feel sore or tired or because the overwhelming blinding pain is screaming at me not to. I just have to do it.

    That was a year ago.

    I am still going.

    I went from sedentary for a decade to a healthy BMI and muscle mass because of 1 rule.

    Don’t let how I feel guide how I act.

    Fuck me it was hard. It is hard. It was hard today. It was hard every single day.

    I have currently a torn labrum, a torn rotator cuff, 3 torn things in my knee, 4 bulging disks in my back, a herniated disk, arthritis in 5 joints, and a titanium cage holding part of my spine together.

    If you can commit to tracking every single thing you eat in the app MyNetDiary ( it scans barcodes and is free), and exercising 5 times a week; I guarantee two things will happen.

    1.) I will do the same and have an accountability buddy to keep me going.

    2.) You WILL be successful in the weight loss and gaining a healthy life.

    Your call if you want to transform your life.

    I have PT exercises and low impact options for days. I have whole fitness plans and diet plans from distinctions, and hundreds of hours with PTs. I have so much to share with someone whose life I can help gain so so much…

    You just have to commit to joining me.

    A year from now you could be vastly different than you are now. So could I. IF we keep our promises to ourselves and one another.

    Two questions for you!

    1.) What is the most useful thing we in the Lemmy community can do to help you get that Oscar?

    2.) I have a secret Santa this year coming up in a month that I am a part of with some friends. Would you be interested in leaving a comment for a friend of mine in response to this that I can show them a month from now for the secret santa?

    “Hey Rome, this is Margot Robbie wishing you a merry Christmas and happy new year?”, or something like that?

    Thanks for being cool either way and good luck getting nominated this year!

    Society is not able to understand chronic illness. Full stop.

    The bias is you interact with people able to do normal society actions, because all the people who can’t are not interacting that way.

    You grow up as a kid thinking,”this is how things will be for me and everyone I know. This is normal.” Then you experience chronic illness and realize you NEVER get “better” (read back to 100% fine). I am guilty of this. Then I didn’t get better.

    We hide so much in how people suffer. We hide how illness impairs the lives of many in the US especially. We work to get basic medical care. So many are forced to show up broken to work, and hide it to retain care. Once we can no longer show up to the job as it demands, we get fired or are forced to resign, or in the most ideal of circumstances, we are forced to take long term medical disability.

    I work every day not to avoid that end, but to forestall it for a little while longer. I buy time in the currency of my stress and well being. Once I am not “in society” any longer, my disability will be hidden and whoever takes my place gets seen.

    The world doesn’t understand chronic illness because it’s hidden unless it happens in your household or to you.
