IT JUST KEEPS GETTING BETTER –
Nov. 4, 2021 – ‘I tried to stop on my own and it was nothing but a lesson in futility. And if you want to stop and you don’t know who to reach out to, you can even reach out to me on Twitter or Instagram.
‘I’ll help connect you to people who can help you, no matter where you are there is help for you nearby. But you have to have the courage to reach out!’
Kenny lost a lot of weight early on in his recovery when he switched to a high-fat, low-carb ketogenic diet. He has since incorporated healthy carbs back into his meals, but he eats them sparingly with lean protein and vegetables.
He also recently joined the DDP Yoga community. Plus, he lifts weights and rides an exercise bike three days a week.
He added, ‘If you had told me five years ago that my life would have this much joy and meaning as it does today, I wouldn’t have believed you.
‘I was just waiting to die while I was drinking. [The] biggest difference between that man five years ago and me today is my attitude. I wake up every day excited about what comes next. Even in the seemingly mundane parts of my life, I can find satisfaction in what I do, that’s the real gift that’s been given to me.’
During another interview with the publication last year, he described his journey with exercise as ‘one of the most spiritually enlightening experiences’ of his life.
‘My journey with exercise this year has been one of the most spiritually enlightening experiences of my entire life,’ he said.
‘I once was a man who couldn’t do more than a single push-up let alone a pull-up. In the month of October 2020, I racked up 1,500 pull-ups and 7,000 push-ups. On Halloween alone, I pushed out 575!
‘I remember being able to do five push-ups in a row and believing it was a miracle. I could never have gotten into the best shape of my life at 38 years old if I hadn’t been consistent.’
