Looks busy!! Do you rest :blush:

I did some rowing... 20 minutes or so with some hard intervals :)

Ok no problem and thank you I have this same issue. Also look into any muscle imbalances in one area that may have a chain reaction sort of effect you see! (i.e core & glute) Could be from pelvic tilt either anterior or posteriorally. This tilt can be the result of imbalances in your posterior chain (lower back, glutes,…

Hmm..

The secret cookie jar under my bed that mFP doesn't know about...... ....oh crap.

Not sure if this was mentioned as yet - but excessive cardiovascular will lead to more cravings and more hunger and also if you're cutting carbs out that could be something you're also craving. Best thing to do is just eat!!! If you are going to the gym this often and putting in work, long term you will level out and get…

Yeah I honestly don't think I will combine deadlifts and sprints in one day thank you for your insight. I would rather split it up into two separate days with recovery between ... too taxing on the hammies

YES whey protein is NOT vegan friendly it has casein or something like that which is derived from cows. Thank you guys so much for all your insights! Definitely getting more beans now I found pinto beans have 15 grams of protein for 250 ml!!! I am also going to buy a pea protein on my next paycheck

Seems like you are already on the right track - I would suggest to increase physical activity and frequency. You would be surprised how many calories you can burn just with a good 60 minute hike/walk in the outdoors!!! Get some good music playlists and go for a nice long walk and dont think about it as (having to walk to…

Great suggestions so it looks like I should do some active recovery by walking and light roll out the muscles!!! Thanks MFP!

Mixology has the best recipes ☺☺☺

Used to do 2 HR sessions lot of recovery, lighter weight. Now just doing very good quality 30 mins to 45 mins minimal recovery between.

I'm just starting meal prepping so I'm excited and hope i can maintain the dicipline. I think it's the only way to really get nutrition dialed in being a single male and just having to cook for myself. I bought a whole bunch of lean meats: Extra lean ground beef Ground Turkey Chicken Breast (Some Old El Paso taco seasoning…

I was entering rice into my nutrition diary and I was shocked that 1 cup of cooked rice is about 400+ calories! Wow

White rice Extra lean ground beef Mixed Vegetables Franks Red Hot Sauce Meal prep first timer.

That sounds delicious

Cycling on an indoor stationary bike is very low impact on joints .... running for a beginner can be painful if overweight so building up cardio by using a "stationary bike" AKA a spin bike is very useful It also burns killer amounts of calories and you can go forever. Sometimes the workout can get very boring so I…

Hey thanks for the tools! I've used swim smooth myself to try and correct my technique and become more efficient as a swimmer!

Your form was probably good. Get a nice motion going with your legs and hips kinda like making a C shape with the shovel. If it's DEEP snow don't try and shovel all of it at once take your time and remember your back will thank you later. I used to work in the snow removal industry and this is the technique that was taught…

Umm I'm actually a man. So not sure about the sports bra but maybe I should try that Lol

Once you keep at it you will build more fitness. It will become easier just like anything we do in life, with repetition and Practise and a healthy diet you will surely succeed and find it easier and easier! Your lungs will get stronger Your quads will get stronger Your arches will adapt (make sure you wear some really…

Great point I think I do need some short and medium goals and objectives to get my azz back in line

Thanks for the advice! I've started doing that just slowly getting back into low intensity running for 20 minutes after work and gauging myself from there. I want that "determination" back because I dislike what has become of my health and physical appearance

Awesome responses I am definitely already feeling more motivated. I feel like the moment I stopped my regular posts on MFP I lost some motivation! Hmm thanks guys and gals!

Yes that makes sense but I was hoping to hear what helps other people stay MOTIVATED.

Wtf is wrong with some dudes. Dude I would just fking pepper spray that little dipshit pepper spray him while he's jacking off and watch that shiiit burn like hell. Fk sake. What kinda fked up world are we living in where someone has to pleasure himself from a woman who is just trying to stay fit. He should get kicked in…

Hello, Maybe Pick out a few recipes for the week... Example "On Thursday I am going to make chicken stir fry and then Friday or Saturday I can do leftovers" "On Sunday I will do Lasagna" Just examples of course, sticking to the CICO (calories in calories out) pick the recipe meals that you enjoy most and you'll find weight…

Exercise is not only for the body but for the mind and soul. I pray for you to always find inspiration in the things that appear little ;)

Seems like you are new to running for about 4-5 months. If this is true then your body is probably just making some adaptations. It's a high impact sport so you first need to make sure your body can handle that impact applied every single stroke for 2 plus miles. I had sciatica from training. It was a sharp twinge that…

Of course, we all have to over come this feeling and here's how it's done: Best tip on here is to go with one or two friends or more!! (More the merrier). This will keep the workout fun and social and distract you from thinking about what others are thinking of you. Having a workout buddy or buddies allows you to focus on…
