Fitness Weekly Discussion
What have you been doing lately for your own fitness? Try out any new programs or exercises? Have any questions for others about your training? Want to vent about poor behavior in the gym? Started a new diet or have a new recipe you want to share? Anything else health and wellness related?
Finally started going back to the gym after a 3-4 month long hiatus, I was simply too busy to go but now I have a bit more free time so I’m happy about that. Gonna be focused entirely on trying to just be healthy and in shape rather than powerlifting and PRs. I slacked off on my diet as well but I’m getting back into my older, healthier eating habits. I’m going to be trying low carb, moderate fats rather than the other way around and see how I feel about it.
I've been trying for the last year or so to lose pandemic weight (60lbs to go, my God!). I had been doing OK, but things slowed for a few reasons not worth getting into.
Then one day in the last few weeks, it's like a switch flipped and my knees just started to hurt. I have an old injury which made them already kind of bad, but it had only affected them during certain activities... now it's 80-90% of the time. It's awful.
So... when I get the desire to eat emotionally I can think to myself, "this behaviour is why my knees hurt literally right now" and the consequences become extremely tangible. I've lost like ten pounds since the Day of the Bad Knees. Not sure how I feel about that one...
