👌
I’m inspired again. Rar.
What's one hobby or skill you've kinda always wanted but never bothered with for one reason or another my dude?
Piano. Pick my trombone back up. Get in shape. Backpack more. Read more classics. Tinker with stuff.
Pick one of the two instruments, read, backpack and get in shape can be merged
Tinkering is forever
Yes.
But don't heap it all on at once
Slow rollout
One, then another, then another
Overdoing things can cause burnout even quicker than if you gave up on one
For me it helped to not make fitness the first one
Because it's easiest to miss days and shit
I wish I could be athletic. The damage I did to my legs preparing for Marine Corps recruit training takes anything involving running out of the equation, which really sucks
Ok.
I need to visit a gastro or nutritionist or something. My stomach reacts harshly to heavy exercise now
Damn
Too much sugar and acid in my diet most likely
Try to get your sugar from only fruit
transition slow if you must
Also dont let the achievement high allow you to overcommit to shit
Easy to go "man I'm really improving. Maybe I should do X"
Yeah, even after the high, keep up the conservative goals
Small steps to big success
Feel about your small steps one day in the same way you feel about your current situation today
What might help is to set an alarm on your phone for a designated time everyday to dedicate to that task. Let the alarm serve as a constant reminder to build a good habit
I need to just do it. I’m running tomorrow morning. Peel off the bandaid and do it.
That's not a bad idea. Guess I'll set aside my sweats for when I wake up
I need to buy a non-impact treadmill. I already have a stationary bike with resistance settings
What did you do to your legs?
He used to be a maragino cherry or something
I PT'd a number of times a week, and didn't let my legs rest. I got shin splints, and still kept training
I overworked myself
Among military branches, the standard with the Marine Corps is of the highest
Oh really? One summer I ran 6 miles a day and that didn’t happen
shin splints suuuuuck
I'm planning on running on either Sunday or Monday. If I do it Saturday I'll either have to miss Remembrance Day services for HEMA or not go this week. Plus running before HEMA is leg murder
Another dude got to recruit training, tore the shit out of his leg. Recovered while there, and then damaged it again and had to go home
I'm not following the convo very well but if anyone is looking for a diet, i've been doing keto and i've lost 45 pounds eating bacon, cheese and steaks.. it sounds insane but it works
Yeah, you use fat for energy in that one
