I do the following each night about 2 to 3 hours before I go to bed. I have half a banana with 2 Kiwi's, a handful of walnuts, 2 magnesium pills and a cup of Peppermint tea - Between my working out ( Ruck 3 days a week and Lift 3 or 4 days a week ) along with this bed time preparation I usually sleep very well.

Through exercise and healthy eating I lost 50 pounds 2 years ago and I have kept it off. I Ruck ( Walking with a weighted vest ) 3 days a week and I lift weights 3 or 4 days a week and at 66 years of age I feel fantastic.

I add celery, tomatoes, cucumbers and sometimes pico degallo which gives it a good taste - You could also add broccoli and/or green onions

I am rucking 4 days a week and lifting 3 days a week and feeling real good. I have kept off 50 pounds I lost 2 years ago but I have some lower belly fat that I am trying to get rid of but it is stubborn.

I was lifting using almost no rest between lifts - After every workout I felt good but exhausted and I wasn't making any strength gains then I spoke with a trainer who suggested at least 60 seconds between lifts. After doing this I experienced strength increases then when I moved to 90 seconds between lifts I once again experienced strength increases. I thought with no rest I would develop muscle quickly like I did 30 years ago but that wasn't the case at all.

I was doing this because I lost 50 pounds 2 years ago and through healthy eating, weight lifting, rucking and a good mental attitude I have been able to keep this weight off. I feel better than I have in years and I am much happier with rucking 4 days and week and lifting 3 days a week and enjoying the first 6 months of retirement.
