Where's the fitness topic?

This is now it, I guess.

So, I haven't been to the gym since the Pandemic started so January of 2020. I just rejoined, since apparently my work's gym is dragging its feet opening back up.

I thought for sure I tore my bicep in literally the first set of arm curls on Saturday. I think it just cramped now though. I didn't have much soreness in my arms despite working out for the first time in so long until today, which to me is weird to have a 2 day later soreness start.

Yesterday, I did an hour on the treadmill. Not comfortable with running yet.

I played basketball for the first time in probably 10-12 years the other day. I was dominating like my old-self at first then just hit this wall where I felt like my chest hurt so much, and I couldn't breathe. That was like a wake up call that I am too out of shape. I quite smoking on the spot (I usually just smoke when I drink which is rare enough, but I had been chain smoking for like the past 2 months prior to this due to stress in my life).

February 4th I was a ghastly 310lbs due to all the pandemic/stress in my life. I got down to 255-260 by like middle of April. However, I plateaued there. I remain generally in the same range.

Calorie-wise getting protein has been hard for me since I generally don't know much about cooking. However, I have been working on that. Even with just cans of chicken chunks and tuna. I have been somewhere in the range of 1000-2200 calories in general.

What exercises do you recommend and what general toning weightlifting things do you recommend? My chest is generally the weakest part of my body weight lifting-wise. I can max out some machines, but I am generally pathetic in scale on chest working exercises (such as benching). I have been doing a push up challenge 3 times a week also that is supposed to help there.

My goals are

255 by May 31st
250 by June 15th
245 by July 1
242 by July 10th
235 by August 18th
230 by September 18th
225 by November 1st
220 by January 1st.

220 generally is where I begin to "look skinny". 205 is by far the lowest I would ever go because I begin to look too skinny at that point.

Anyone else lifting, losing weight, exercising? Come share!
