How are you doing with this?

Me: have abstained from alcohol for 8 months, and I've been lifting weights pretty consistently. But.....I smoke cigarettes, drink too much coffee and soda, and avoid cardio exercise (due to smoking), and avoid ab work (laziness).

I haven't made any resolutions, but I can do much better with my lifestyle.

I should also get a physical exam, which I haven't done in years.

Good progress, well done. Ditch the cigs when you can.

I need to work on my own physical health.

Alcohol free February is the way to go, January is just too depressing not to drink.

I'm not a doctor, but I can say with some certainty, that doesn't sound good.

Height and weight also needs to take into consideration muscle mass.

I would look at blood pressure and blood sugar levels, as well as pulse rate as indications of health.

Caffeine and nicotine are hard habits to quit. Caffeine withdrawal is a bad headache etc. Nicotine fits are like cocaine withdrawals.
Good luck

I can very much relate! I'm overweight, and drink a bit too much. Though I exercise and don't smoke, food portion control, and cutting back on beer are my priorities for 2022; on that note, it's exercise time... 🙂

The single best thing you can do for yourself is quit smoking.

You won't regret it.
