I don't know what to do from here
I don't know what to do from hereTo get started on this, I'll get straight to the point, I need advice. Over the past 8 months my life has changed substantially. I was in a dark place, bad relationship, horrible living situation and financially lacking. The relationship ended badly, I had lost friends over the course of it, was cheated on, and in the end, I hated myself. Hated her. That hatred made me turn it all around. It fueled me to eat right, work out all 7 days of the week. Dropping weight like a rock I was proud, yet it wasn't enough. I moved out of the living space I was in, quit my job, and soon enough, found one that is now a career. A real "grown-up" job. And now, 100 lbs. lighter, living in a better place, and financially healthy the hatred us gone. I'm happy. Yes my career is continuing to flourish, but the hate is gone. The fuel that drove me to go from 340 to 240 is gone, and I can't keep myself going. So what I'm asking is what should I do? I don't have the motivation anymore. And I need something, I want to at least be 200 lbs but unfortunately the wanting isn't enough. Tl;dr: I need advice for the motivation and discipline I once had to lose the last of my weight. Please help! submitted by /u/_Kuya_ [link] [comments]
Tips on making meals quicker? With busy job? Meal Prep?
Tips on making meals quicker? With busy job? Meal Prep?I'm currently without a job (just graduated from school recently). I'm 142 lbs, 5'8, 24 year old. I eat approximately 3500 calories almost everyday. The problem is, the time to cook everything and prep for the meals. Also when I get a job as a game designer/artist (8 hours Monday to Friday work hours), how can I still be able to do this? Any tips on making quick high calorie meals? Does any of you work long hours per week and still manage to eat a lot and workout effectively? If so, how did you manage to do it? I want to learn to prep meals quicker and plan ahead so I can cook faster and be prepared once I have a job, also nice to have more time to your day when it's not just all cooking for yourself. submitted by /u/Oblivion2550 [link] [comments]
Hoping for a discussion from those who've overcome extensive or prolonged injury to regain fitness
Hoping for a discussion from those who've overcome extensive or prolonged injury to regain fitnessThis is a post for those who've sustained some kind of long lasting injury(ies) but eventually got back to (or at least close to) their previous level of activity, fitness, athleticism, etc. For me it was a back injury a few years ago that has slowly progressed to lumbar disc issues. I'm trying to find examples of people who came back from movement limiting injuries and what path they followed in reclaiming their body's movement and mobility. I was, at one point, a nationally ranked NCAA DII diver. I'd really like to get back to a similar level of fitness as I had during that time but sustained cardio, some compound lifts and some stretching/yoga type activities give me serious pain and movement restriction(usually within a couple hours of the activity). I've spoken to several PT's, 2 orthopedic doctors and have yet to find a chiropractor that can help without absolutely killing my bank account. Honestly, I'm in and out of a semi-depression about my current lack of flexibility and inability to move, lift, swim, etc. without avoiding pain and an overall restricted ability to move in general, afterwards. I guess I'm looking for some new ideas and path to check out in trying to get back to being fit and I wouldn't mind hearing from people who've done so from a similar or even worse position than I'm in now (herniation of 2 lumbar discs with some kind of undiagnosed impingement in the right hip). submitted by /u/Jtk317 [link] [comments]
How effective are negatives on pullups?
How effective are negatives on pullups?I have a poverty back and I'm trying to get wide lats/delts so I don't look like I am smaller than how much I actually weigh. I can barely do 1 pullup strict, so how effective would 5x5 negatives on pullups be as far as muscle growth? submitted by /u/nvga4325 [link] [comments]
Calling All Big Booty Rudys
Calling All Big Booty RudysI typically lurk about here in r/fitness and just enjoy the stories and tips. One such discussion that I benefitted from was, in all seriousness, brands of jeans that fit better as more often than not being a regular lifter means our thighs and butts don't match the space offered in jeans that would be our normal waist size.. (I.E. waist 34 length 34 but good luck in being able to move around without splitting seams) Having found the Levi's 541 athletic fit jeans, which are a god send believe me, I was hoping to ask the community on which brands of shorts they prefer as I still cannot find a brand that fits my thighs and butt without requiring I go up several sizes in waist just to fit. My preferred fit has the shorts ending past the knee and not showing off my white white thighs when I sit down. Summer is coming r/fitness, help me out! submitted by /u/ChazzThunderdome [link] [comments]
