Essential Random Gym Thoughts Revisited...

[The ADD]

Does anyone eat catch-up calories? Why does my app tell me I can eat more based on how much I work out? I don’t but does that make sense if you aren’t a serious athlete? I could see if I was doing marathons or 20-30 miles on the bike but what’s the point? Do you actually starve if you’re net under + exercise?

I don’t for a few reasons:

• A lot of those calculators aren’t capable of being accurate so I wouldn’t want to use that data to dictate my calories
• I think it creates a poor relationship with food from a “reward” standpoint. Better off (to me) setting a consistent number or set of variables and letting anything happen done during exercise be a bonus. Of course if you more hungry or less hungry on a particular day eat towards that because it wil likely balance out over the long term.

I don't measure And I weight twice a week
I might eat 2 granola bars all day
Yesterday I had some spinach And 2 baked thighs that's all I ate all day.
How the fukk I keep gaining weight

Make a meal plan, it’s what works for me. It’s better/easier than trying to count calories each day as you consume and quite honestly healthier and easier to tweak than ad hoc eating like you’re doing - having a one meal day here, no food day there, cheat day at the end of the week, unplanned cheeseburger etc. takes some prep, but nothing ridiculous if you don’t go crazy trying to make intricate meals. Knowing you’re eating between X and Y calories each day is easier to account for IMO

I need to cut out carbs, which means I need to go grocery shopping, which means standing in line for 20-30 mins to get it


A little doms kicked in last night, so I at least hit my chest and shoulders better than I thought

Went shopping

highlights: went early so there were only 5 people in line ahead of me to get in, they had Clorox wipes

lowlights: spent $250, they didn’t have lump crab (I want to make crab cakes this week), they had these damn black truffle potato chips that are hard to find...I bought two bags

Also, what’s a good lower body warmup? I usually do some jump rope and dynamic stretching, but it’s “late” in the day now and I’ll feel like a dweeb jumping rope in my parking lot now that people are out and about

Had steak and tatoes for lunch, got hungry so I’m eating apple sauce instead of a full meal for dinner. It reminds me of baby food but I bought some on impulse, perfect level of sweetness for me

Come on breh you don't have to go out like that. Take it back to the basics. You know where the lapses in your training and/or diet are. Stay consistent because we are getting older and those days off come back to bite you quick.

I got my 45 in and wife joined me. It kicked her ass but she finished on her first try. Took me my 3rd attempt to do the full clip. Proud of her for sure. My discipline is super on point. Wife makes all types of tasty fatty foods for my daughter and I just laugh. Two years ago I would've been eating a 4 course breakfast; fried 3 egg omelet, homemade fries, fried plantains and wheat toast with butter and avocado. Now it's oatmeal, 2 spoons of peanut butter and a mug of green tea. Feels good to feel good.

hardest thing is getting into that groove, but once you are in it its pretty easy to keep it up

I never understood why people cut carbs (unless they're drying out before a show).

As far as DOMS, I wouldn't use that to measure the effectiveness of a workout. Just me though.


In any case, at least you eating clean and doing cardio, unlike my bytch ass.

Bruh...i couldn't even finish the transition phase they talk about
