Well @lapants you have done it now, no going back since you have told everyone and put it on the Blockchain.
I wish you all the luck and in some way will most probably motivate myself and others on your journey.
Look forward to your next photo to see how you are going.

Thank you for your kindness and support. Upvoted and followed:)

I think that's interesting and new too. I've been lazy too but after I came across steemit. The laziness got out I don't know how but laziness just fade away and all I'm doing in my leisure time is posting on Steemit. New stuff! Following people on it and engaging with the community yea... that's addictive more than anything else. Laziness has to go out of course ;P

Once they make the steemit app, you can go to the gym and still steem at the same time! Thank you for your positive feedback. It's really appreciated!

This is awesome! @laplants! You're going to kill it! And to your final comment, no matter what you post regarding any diet/workout, there will ALWAYS be someone who has some "flaw" to point out; you do you!

Go get it, boy! You've done it before - you know exactly what to do, and you've got the strength of will to do it.

you can lose weight fast and have more energy to burn if you switched to a plantbased diet.

Best wishes!!!!
