    I was overweight, diagnosed with stage 3 ckd and congestive heart failure. That was almost 4 years ago. Due to diet and exercise the weight definitely came off. I lost almost 70 pounds. If I can do it anyone can! Good luck Al!

    Hello Al and Shiloh, Please rethink doing this challenge. Firstly, drinking a gallon of water per day, is NOT very good for you. It will seriously seriously dillute the levels of sodium and electrolytes in your body (could possibly put your health at risk) and also overworks your kidneys. You should only drink to stay hydrated, at tops no more than 3/4 of a gallon at max. That is way too much exercise. A walk every other day....yes. Weight training should only be 1 or 2 times a week. Al, you want to add muscle, try doing 100 meter sprints......make sure not to go over 100 meters. Look up a 100 meter sprinter vs the top runner. The sprinter has a good body. Make sure to start off very slow and work your way up......getting your form correct is key. You don't want to pull something. You can sprint once or twice a week. Please take my suggestion to heart. 😎
    P.S. the comsuming water craze was all about selling water and making money.

      I'm going to disagree with u- if ur fear of information is by external information turn you're not fully agree that this is a " Spiritual," overhaul that is taken place on this planet and because America doesn't n hasn't taught the truth about everything,... it misleads information.....
      U came across in fear like your body is incapable of change as well as being able to transform itself mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually..... hell, most don't even know that your "Biggest organ is ur skin"!!!!!
      For the years that food has changed from pure something to chemically altered n diluted over generations,.... it's a good thing to flush out ur system n change habits, n that ol thinking of omggggggg that's to much water is not true......I am a specialist in the mechanics of the body and because our bodies are made up of alot of water, water is not going to hurt u but in fact water is not only capable of giving u instant energy but it also will keep ur skin youthful!
      I actually know all of this and more because I have done it before I speak it and the lack of wisdom n knowledge hidden in this country is very deceptive which leads to alot of believing n buying into what experts say not knowing there's hidden truth because of agendas!

    CAUTION on the water -- a gallon is much more than most people can tolerate and can even cause heart failure if the kidneys can not filter timely. I have lost several patients caused by excess water intake and it broke my heart more than those lost by horrible disease. Wishing you the best on your challenge -- the exercise, diet, and reading are fabulous habits to develop.

I have "heard" the complete bible read at mass 18 times and I have read it myself 7 times. I was in a Christian rock band and wanted to better be able to put forth the "word" at concerts to the non believers. LOL....boy was I in for a shock.
      Have you ever looked into the books of the bible? Really studied from the ancient writings? Baal....Marduk....Yahweh....all gods of war, stroms, and blood sacrifice. How much blood has been spilled over religion? My god is better than your god.....The Church killed everyone that would not bend the knee to their god. Ever hear of the crusades?

      ​@@BlazinRiver1 the age of grace with a new commandment was ushered in through Christ's sacrifice for sin. Most of us fail at this but it holds true. Mark 12:30-31 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength." 31 The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these.” /Confessing our sins to God matters, water baptism too. Since we are relational made in God's image... are jealous at times, kick but too... means we are his kids... so there is nothing to reject here. It is who and whose we are. Just talk to God since he sees and cares very much. UA-cam Instrumental worship music is amazing. Read New Testament 1 Chronicles. It peels away layers of religious demands. Christ came to do away with the law, but sadly the Church ads to it. Stay focused in Christ's finished work on the cross and resurrection. His gift abundant life is for those who believe. Healing hearts go up to you and your family.

    Do not put too much on yourself. You are human and you can also caused un-needed stress by setting goals that you may not be able to stick with, causing you to stress over it. I would of Never let my sons start a goal to have the perfect record to never miss a day of school, or work. It is too much to live up to. I think two things already you should only do them if you really want to, but if not Don't worry over them The drinking of all that amount of water, and the ten pages of a book. Setting goals should be something you won't mind doing. Things in life pop up and can knock us off course, learning to work thru those things give you more power then lots of things. I decided to stop drinking, that was 47 yrs ago, and still am sober. It was one day at a time but with time that is how I live because I wanted that more than anything for my sons to have a sober mom. Good luck but again, be You Al and just each day try to do the things you just REALLY want to do.

However, I am preparing myself for a diet that is more like a lifestyle Change. It’s one that is geared to me as a woman so I have to get into the right headspace before I begin. I have slowly been eliminating things that the diet suggests. (no artificial colors, flavors) And once I feel a few of those steps are in place, I can begin!

    I too have anxiety and depression. I'm on medicine for it since my mom passed in November. The thing that had begun to help me has been reading my Bible more everyday. I'm reading through the Bible App and on the Kindle App. Both keep up with your progress for you. So it's accountability. I have 63 days straight on the Bible App and 175 days on Kindle. The reading isn't hard for me. I love to read. The hardest part is making sure I drink all the water because I fail at that most days. The exercise is also something I struggle with because of spinal problems and hip pain. But I'm going to try sit down yoga to see if I can handle that.
    My suggestion for book reading is be sure it's something that interest you. That makes it easy to read the 10 pages.
    Can't wait to watch your and Shiloh progress. Yell have a beautiful family. Thank you for sharing it with the world.

    " I put on my helmet of salvation to protect me from the fiery darts of evil , God protect my mind my emotions, my memories, my thoughts from that which tries to attack me. I'm the righteousness of Christ Jesus I'm the head and not the tail, I'm above and not below ". I say this prayer every time I get overwhelmed until I get a breakthrough sometimes it's instant some times it takes repeating several times but I do it till I get a breakthrough. Prayers for your breakthrough.

    I've been working with my anxiety for over 30 years. One of the things I've had to learn is to NEVER feel like I've failed-- that's putting pressure on myself. I just readjust my previous plan. I also avoid putting too much on my plate. Like, 1 or 2 things a day for a week, then I add a 3rd thing for a week, etc. Deep breathing is a must for me, several times a day. I went from almost total agoraphobia to eventually going back to school and working in both a hospital lab and volunteer fire fighter and emt. Be gentle with yourself. Ditch expectations. I've found anticipation can freeze me in my tracks. We're on this journey with you!!! ❤

    Hi Al and Shiloh (sp), 🙋🏻‍♀️
    Great to see you again. I just wanted to say that challenges like you are trying to undertake are simply just challenges. They set a guide but are not meant to be etched in stone. What I mean is the bank is not going to come take your house away because you don’t follow the challenge perfectly. As a matter of fact, challenges are not meant to be followed exactly- they are a guide. You decide what works best for you of the challenge at any given moment in your day when attempting to practice a part of the challenge. Placing hard goal expectations on yourself only adds more anxiety and panic attacks to the normal peaceful flow of your life. In your healing journey now you must keep this in mind at all times. Be gentle and kind to yourself. Love yourself first, fill your cup up first so that you have something to give, so that your life can be an outpouring of the self love you have given yourself. This is the quiet, peaceful balance of life that you are seeking. This is the place where your healing comes. Rest, peace, quiet, loving yourself, loving others. Turn off and leave behind all noise and distractions, news, tv, movies etc. Get quiet with yourself. Your healing is found in the peace that passes all understanding.
    Much love to you both and the kids.
    Blessings.
    Patricia 🫶🏼💫

The first thing is to have a complete blood workup done and know if the major ones are low such as especially for Men are...Vitamin D, Omega 3, folate and the B complex! I'm also a believer in the power of daily prayer and reminder that Motion, keeps the emotions intact! You are so adored Al by many! Bless you and your beautiful family. You got this! Cheers! Ps. It would be beneficial to have a full hormone panel done to make sure nothing is lacking as well. With medical advancements no one has to suffer.

You just confirmed I'm to do it, ground also consist of hugging trees for a few minutes I like to have the grass pull me by touching it for 30 minutes a day! So much negative energy in the air pur bodies absorb it. You're on the Right Track, Blessings. My daughter has anxiety she hugs trees and it works.

    A gallon of water, I'm thinking that's a bit too much to start off, so please bc & watch your intake😬
    My hubby has anxiety & it was very hard for him to gain weight due to his anxiety panic breathing, so find quick ways to focus on a distraction & at the same time calm your breathing down, & take in slow but deep breaths, also eat small meals often, my hubby was eating 6 small meals & having snacks, because each time he would do that anxiety panic breathing he would burn more calories than he'd actually take in! He now has 4 small meals & of course his snacks🙏
    Hubby has finally gained about 30lbs & needs at least 10 to 15 more🙏
    I want to say great job working together❤️ 👏🙏

    Only 30 seconds in and I'm all about breathing techniques to curb anxiety. I struggle my whole life with it and right now I'm severely depressed but I'm a fighter and take one day at a time. But I use to have bad anxiety and panic attacks many many years ago and occasionally I feel then coming on mainly because my depression gets me thinking to much sometimes and I'll have to get up and walk away and refocus my thoughts while doing breathing techniques. Been a godsend for me over the years on controlling it. I've tried so the medications and me ( others are different) they caused more bad then good and I'm working through it naturally trying to watch diet and exercise. Both are huge influences on it. Oh and sleep is probably even bigger. I lack the sleep and struggle with insomnia from time to time and also migraines since I was 10yrs old and I'm 47 now. Those two alone cause depression. But I applaud you on the breathing techniques. Keep up the work and you can conquer it. 💪💯

    I just started following all of this progress about your anxiety and depression. I came from the main channel and had no idea. I think every little bit helps. One day at a time. I personally struggle with both and tend to be "in my own head" far too much. I'm learning a lot from watching your journey to feel better and your yard transformations really help get me through the hard days too. Just a side note - I do illustrations if you still need an illustrator. I'm still watching the video, but I hope to hear more about the children's book! Stay strong. You got this!

    AL I absolutely loved this video. You, Shiloh, the kids randomly doing your life and everything that goes on in it. It's raw and very real and I don't know about how anyone else feels, but to me this helps myself and anyone else who struggles. It's a wonderful refresher to the random videos other people post who only show the perfect and pretty side. Thank you for sharing and helping us get motivated to get up in the morning as hard as it may be. God bless you and you got this!

    Al--why do you need to do challenges all the time? I think the pressure of having to accomplish something is what is putting pressure on you and helping to create more anxiety for you....Why not just live your life day to day and work on your anxiety before adding more pressure on yourself--and also on your wife? Why twist her arm to join you like that? I don't think it's a good idea....(also working out is NOT a good idea if you are wanting to GAIN weight. )

    Al try chair pilates. Or wall exercises. They both work great. Your diet looks healthy already. My son had trouble gaining weight because he is hyperactive. He ended up using protein powder. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone because of the health risks. He stopped after I told him about the side effects. So stay healthy and ask your doctor about the best diet for weight gain. Good luck with your challenge, can't wait for an update....you can do this.

Your 45 minute workouts could be your lawn mowing You work really hard probably longer than 45 minutes. One day at a time and don’t forget to thank Jesus. Speak to Him all day long. Bows a good time if you haven’t already to teach the children the Lord’s Prayer. Praying for your family. Love y’all

    Al, you are the best! I think the hardest thing is opening up (especially to the public) and letting us know what you're going through. The good, the bad, and the ugly.
    I ❤ your challenges, and I love the support your family is giving you.
    Also, it's okay to make mistakes or to fail. We are not looking for perfection. We are here with you on your journey and hoping to also learn from it. You are human, and so are we. We are here for the long haul. Don't worry that you didn't get a video up or find the need to take more breaks. Go on vacation with your family and send us a postcard.
    Many of us need to see others vulnerability to realize "we are okay".
    Our prayers are with you and your family.
    WE LOVE YOU AL!!
    Shiloh, we ❤ you and your children too! We are praying for all of you. ❤

Love what you do to help people on your lawn care channel as well. This new challenge you’re taking on seems a little much from our side of the camera. Maybe you should coast for a while and build back your health a little more gradually. Listen to Shiloh’s first response. She has a lot of wisdom and she could use a break as well. You’ve both been through a lot. We want you to be here for the long haul. Listen to your body and take a day at a time for a bit. Enjoy those kiddos and family time. Sending our love to you all from Arizona ‘cuz we care about you. -Jana 😊❤

    I totally get whats going on Al. Been watching you for short while. Love your videos.
    Not sure your age. My issues started at age 29. I am now soon to be 64.
    Ive found that Magnesium Glysinate has been a life saver in my journey. I take 2 - 650mg capsules in am and 2 -capsules in pm. Great source of natural calming of the anxiety plus relaxing.
    From experience, try not dive too much, too fast into excercise. Like Shiloh said. Take your time. I care for your health. It is very important. Along with your breathing exercises and if you can. Gradually get into the cold water bath. When able, look into UA-cam regarding the Vagus Nerve. Very helpful. Hope this helps. At least study up on it. Much love.

    Life has it's rough spots Al. Everyone, in one way or another, has difficulties in maneuvering it. This doesn't make it no less complicated for one individual. We always think we're alone. Well, I'm on that boat with you at this point in my life. And it sucks. Your way of getting around this situation is extremely gratifying. There is a lot of the plan you have mapped out that would not fit in my schedule. But they do give me ideas for myself. I wasn't going to watch this video. At this point I think we both know why. But I know how dedicated you are to pull yourself up by the boot straps to get through it, so I know encouragement is important. I commend you for the action you are taking. And, God bless your wife. Kids are really cute. Those 3 people in your life love you and depend on you. Strength in numbers Al. God's on your side also. Along with his army. You're going to find that these small acts will stay you past the 75 days. Good luck and God Bless you and yours. Verna
