i drank a lot of booze this summer and it started to show. the constant heat waves made it very easy to drink beer after work or after the kids went to bed, almost every day. i stopped putting sugar in my coffees and stopped drinking alcohol at home (which is 95% of the time i drank alcohol) i also got an exercise bike and stuck it in the middle of my living room so its an ever present reminder/nag that i should stop being a lazy rear end i find it's easy to do 15-30 minutes on the bike here or there while watching a youtube when i otherwise would have done zero exercise resisting snacks especially before bed is the hardest part for me. the only thing that works is to simply not buy them i don't do any kind of calorie counting or weight tracking, rather just notice clothes getting looser. polyester concept fucked around with this message at 22:53 on Jan 26, 2023 |

I’ve never been able to stick to any cardio routine. I recently tried doing 45 mins on the stationary bike 3 days a week, but it’s just so boring I think. drat adhd when I used to see a trainer years ago I actually enjoyed the strength building part of it. Thinking of getting a cheap squat rack and bench off kijiji and try the 5x5 thing.

It has arms - is one better or worse? I used to see a trainer at the gym and the equipment there all had arms, and my trainer would obviously spot me. That said I don't intend to be lifting anywhere near the rated capacity any time soon

did my first 5x5 workout today. used the app from stronglifts.com to recommend starting weights and chose the beginner level since it’s been a while. started at 110 lb squats and it wasn’t too bad at all but def broke a sweat polyester concept fucked around with this message at 20:01 on Jun 26, 2023 |

I have been relatively consistent with my 5x5 workouts the past couple weeks, except for a couple days around my birthday. I find it's much easier to do my workouts at lunch when I am WFH. My biggest problem continues to be not eating a ton of snacks at night  i fuckin love salty carbs

I did keto for a few months once and it absolutely worked for quick and probably unhealthy weight loss but I love carbs and especially booze way too much.
