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?
Since starting to go to the gym on my own about 2 months ago, every single week I realize more and more how incompetent my personal trainer was. I've made more progress in those 2 months doing 5/3/1 than I have in 2 years with a trainer.
So everything’s fine with me now. And I think my brain adjusted and dieting isn’t as difficult right now. I did realize one thing. When I initially lost the weight I noticed I was cooler, as in calmer, I would speak slower and you know just had a gentle overall demeanor. I assumed that was a result of personality changes from looking different. But throughout the past year I was a little bit more energetic and manic. Part of that was my anxiety, but I think now I realize part of that was also my overeating (as well as higher consumption of sugars and whatnot). And that not an insignificant portion of my more calm demeanor was loss of energy from a calorie deficit.
