  • I try to train 3 days a week. Simple compound body weight movements are my personal focus. So pullups, dips, squats. Then accessories to compliment muscle groups. Bicep curls, tricep push downs and/or lateral raises, and Romanian deadlifts respectively. Lastly core is important for your overall health and stability so sneak that into your workouts.

    I priorotize walking to most places if I am able, keeps staying active easier than dedicating time to running. However, sprints are a really great athletic movement so don’t be afraid to find a field and do sprints or something explosive like it.

    As for diet, there’s no real counting anything for me. I typically just prioritise getting proteins on my plate then veggies and complex carbs. Try and cook your food yourself rather than eating out and you’re 90% of the way to your goals! The rest is consistency and effort.

    As for local plants I’m not sure if there’s anything special but growing your own food does seem to taste better in my opinion!










  • I was grading seed at a grain processing/storage facility for a few years and it had enough down time during the evenings to do any schooling. I managed a full-time pre calculus to shore up my post secondary education requirements. My coworker ended up going back to college for programming and did a lot of his work on the afternoon shift. Our schedule was a 6am-2pm with little down time, and then an afternoon shift from 2pm-10pm with way more free time.

    In my case, you didn’t have as much down time as some other quieter jobs but they paid ~$30 an hour so there’s value if you are looking for some extra cash. No prior experience required.

    There was a 12hr night/day rotation for other parts of the facility where you’d swap every few days and get a week off somewhere in the mix but that schedule wasn’t for me.
