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

Really?

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

and the energy is high as hell

the feeling you get is the stuff of alphas

Keto is murder, man. It cuts away so much food

very true, but I tried calorie restriction multiple times and while I still got to eat whatever I wanted in moderation I was still hungry AF all of the time. The keto does something weird where i'm never really hungry

You're not wrong. Out of all the diets, I'd say it probably has the most noticeable results

Alright. I'm calling it a night. I've got an early run tomorrow

Yeah on keto you don't even want to eat shitty food, you just don't. But you do want to eat delicious meat and you do 😉

I experimented with zero card / meat only diet but that was just way too boring

it did however greatly simplify my life

That meat-only guy that was on Rogan gets so much shit

I'm not convinced it's that great for you haha

he's like a punching bag of /r/vegan on reddit

It’s ok for a little while. Then you have to have a balanced diet. The only thing consistent about losing weight is reducing calorie intake. A calorie is a calorie is a calorie. This is true because you body uses cellular respiration for all energy production.
