Nice! Good job, man.

Upper body too sore to do much today. I did do a dozen flies on the weight bench, which I can really feel in my chest. I also did two sets of 10 on the ab crunch machine with 60 pounds. I have always neglected my abs.

I did run 3.8 miles at a 9:28 pace. Still recovering from my knee injury but felt good today.

Walking now and waiting for my wife to be done.

No good day on the exercise front. I went to special foot doctor and he didn't help more anymore then my family doctor. All he did was take away my hope of getting better. He was like you will never be able run that marathon. Then I fell down some stairs and with my laptop. So not a great day so far. But you know what. I am not going to over eat. I am not going to less the stress beat me. I am going to do my set down workout, and still eat right.

Yeah, don't let it get you down. I had to deal with my hurt knee for most of November and am slowly recovering now.

Since no one has responded, I feel the need to say that I am joking about my wife. I do have a certain level of decency to uphold around here.

Just remember that the proper name for shoulder lifts is the Dirty Sanchez. So make sure to ask if she likes that.

I have zero actual advice here, so I am just being a smart ass. I did well with dating apps and within my social circle, but I have no skillz at walking up to random women. Never have even tried. (other than the time totalnerdken mentioned above)

Had myself a lunch of Dry Ribs and a Poutine. No under 300 tomorrow morning. But I will fast until tomorrow morning, lol.

A healthy diet can handle some shit here and there. Especially if you can fast and reset the system.

I think I found the magic ticket. Shrimp, you can have a ton of a shrimp and if you grill them or lightly fry them like stir fry. They are only like an 84 calories in a 3-ounce serving. Get some rice that is about 200 calories and that is a whole dinner for under 300 calories. And it is filling. I have been doing my fried rice with this. But that takes too much time and effort. I need to find a side that is easy and tasty. Any one have any suggestions?

I got to go to the store and just buy one of every vegetable , I would have to like at least one of them. Carrots are the only one that I like so far.

Edit to add: I can cut carrots into French fry shape and then try to trick myself to think I am eating fries.

This is me just relaxed after my workout. Jesus my shoulders and traps and all that.

I've been overweight since like Grade 9. I've always been cognizant of how I look. I wouldn't say I was overly self conscious but I knew my body type was not conventionally attractive.

The last few months are the first time in my adult life where I feel like, conventionally attractive. I will never be a small man, I have too much muscle and whatnot for that. But I am starting to feel attractive in my body.

THAT IS GREAT man. I am so happy for you.

Did my "official" weekly weigh in and was only at 233 . That sucks so much. I know weight and move up and down like 4 pounds in a day. But normally checking in on Thursdays right when I wake up gives me my lowest weight. So kind of bummed. And once more why I think that Cals in vs Cals out is just wrong. I have been at or under 1100 calories all week. There is no way I should have lost so little.

At 179 today, which seems to be my average for the week, as I have fluctuated 2.5 pounds. My entire upper body is sore, so taking the day off. But I think I will go for a hike nearby this afternoon. Distance TBD.

I bet you are retaining water. Just try to stay chill about it. I have had times where I seem a few pounds high for like 3 days in a row. Then the next day, I will pee like every half hour all day. Then after that, I will be lighter again.

I managed to get a workout done, even though Im limited by my ankle injury. I can only do exercises that dont require standing up. Ive been feeling anxious about not losing enough weight, but today I decided to relax and treat myself. Im going to enjoy some fries and fried chicken wings, something I havent had in a long time. Im not doing this because Ive given up or because I want to go back to my old habits. Im doing this because I understand that its okay to live a little. I have a goal of reaching 225 pounds, and Im only 8 pounds away from it. And I have been so pressed to getting there. But thats not the only thing that matters. I should be proud of myself for finding ways to work out despite my injury. This is not a sprint, its a marathon, and Im determined to finish it. And one day, Ill run a real marathon too, no matter what anyone else says. But for today, fries, chicken, and sweet tea are on the menu.

Thanks, I know the logically I should be worried about it. But is hard not to.

I know this is a joke, but I was worried about losing my foot due to diabetes which I do not have or which to my knowledge I am not close to having. But I was wondering for a while how that would work out and get along with one foot. I even looked at how much a prosthetic foot was.

No worries , I found your post funny. Since I had this random illogical fear. And now I am hoping around on a messed up foot.

I was 304 on the dot this morning. Given what I ate that is fine by me. Lol

Just finished at the gym. Did chest press, biceps curl, shoulder press, and abdominal crunch. Left my back alone as I think I slightly pulled it on Monday with the stupid seated row machine.

Also, didn't use the treadmill, as my lower legs are a little achy from upping the running and walking this week after recovering from my knee injury.

Can't I just not have injuries? Ugh.

I dont have much to share today, but I want to stay on track with my weight loss journey. Ive been feeling pretty good lately, except for some pain thats been bothering me. I have to fix my turtle tank, which has a leak and has lost half of its water. My turtles are okay for now, but I dont want to neglect them. Im going to fix the tank after this post, even if it hurts. That will be my exercise for today, because its not easy to do. Excuse the language, but mentally all out of the blue I started to feel like shit. Like a few posting ago I was happy talking about my lizard giving live birth. He isn't but he could and now it just like I am feeling horrible mentally.

I'm very proud of everyone in this topic.

It's nice to have a group who is really supportive of one another to just be healthier in as many aspects as possible.

I did a somewhat rest day yesterday to watch all the Game Awards stuff. I did do a 20 minute upper arm workout with my dumbbells in my place while I watched so it wasn't ENTIRELY rest. No cardio and my weights are only 7 pounds, I normally use 12 pounders at the gym.
