Hey FS, I am trying to get back on track. I've been eating like pork in the past few months (for my taste). So, I finally fixed my scale and I am surprised it's only +5/6 lbs. I had some serious mental meltdowns but I try to get my shit together and it seems like I'm seeing a little progress. I don't particularly focus on my weight but I felt I was too sausaged in my jeans last week and can see that my shape is meh as I haven't worked out properly since March. Time to fix it.
First, everything was closed till around mid-June and I am not strong enough to work out from home, I admire people who are. Typically, people were laid off due to COVID and I actually had even more work so my working days were rather 9-9 and sometimes I worked even on weekends. We are back to one remote day/week but I'd continue working from home but that is another story.
When the gym finally opened... well they didn't open the shower room. It's probably not a big deal for a lot of people but I need 1.5h to get to work, so it's 3h per day. My job is very draining and dense so my lunches are very short and I am too exhausted in the evening (+ 1.5h commute just after, it's killing me). The only way I found the possibility to work out is to leave at 6.15 am and take the first train, work out from 7.45 to 8.45 and then start my day at 9. Now, imagine going to work not showered?... I personally can't. I tried to go in the evening but 1) too many people and it gives me serious anxiety 2) the gym smells like dozens of bats have been decaying in the basement? 3) I need to wait for material or people are too close to me and are watching/need my material 4) all kinds of goofs try to talk to me. Well heck, no more.
The first step, more whole food. I am very happy with my new blender, it allows me to get some vitamins and collagen in the morning as it's hard for me to get enough protein if I don't consume shakes. And second, I'll probably try to find another gym where showers are open and people are less rude.
Added supplements: probiotics, a complex of daily vitamins, vit D (I am white as my toilets), fish oil = all those started in July, + added L-Glutamine, electrolytes, and CLA now just because I have them and they expire soon. My third goal: no or very little alcohol until November. I think I got overboard on vacation, was drinking every day. Detox now xD Who's with me?
I wish myself and everyone the best of consistency as motivation is not enough. Be well!
