Making a change

This is why I keep posting in this thread, so that maybe someone else will be inspired.
Yesterday sucked trying to move anywhere and I even trapped myself on the shitter at work (someone actually thought I was dying). All worth it.
I did crush another personal goal. I ran 2 consecutive miles without stopping, virtually pain free last night. Now I just got back from the gym after doing workout B and Iām looking forward to not having to do anything after work.
Today is going to be a good day.
It worked for me as well. Have a MUCH farther way to go than anyone on here, but started KETO again about 6 weeks ago after reading this thread again and am down about 20 pounds so far... Keep it up!
squats past parallel ftw
Doing 5x5 as well but not concerned about dem gainz. I did the weight it told me to add until I left on vacation. Then auto deloaded and I am adding wait at half the recommended intervals now which is working better for me.
Yeah. ...yeah... ass touching my calves. Doing 90lbs because that what the app recommended I start with and I laughed heartedly.
I'm not laughing anymore.

I started at the bottom. With the bare bar and worked my way up.... It was worth it to learn form and get used to it. And like you said.... Its harder than it seems! Especially as the days pile up.
Monday: I felt like I could conquer the world
Tuesday: I was feeling it
Tuesday night: I ran. WHY
Wednesday: Help
Really looking forward to next Wednesday as that would be 5 workouts and the app will start graphing my progress. Down 39 pounds since the VA called me fat.
Dude, yes. Keep putting in the time and chip away at it. I can honestly say that I FEEL happier. First time in a long time I've felt that.
Brings back memories!
Thats part of why I decided to cut the increase in half. Being sore all the time just wasn't working for me. It doesn't motivate me to get shit done around the house or go out and be active in other ways like playing basketball or going for bike rides with my wife.
And adding 10lbs per to my deadlift was a challenge. I was getting the wobbly knee as I approached 200lbs.
I use knee sleeves for dl's or squats, it makes a big difference on how my knees feel the day after, when i was starting to squat in the upper 200's my knee wouldn't work the next morning for the first couple minutes after i got out of bed, now its all good and ive added a lot of weight to my squat and dead lift since
just to focus on the big lifts and proper form over heavy weight, I also like to have some carbs before and after a workout, I normally eat a full meal after, and don't waste your money on all kinds of supplement crap, especially dieting eat your protein don't waste calories on a protein shake that wont fill you up, I'm no pro at lifting or diet I just have fun at the gym and try to eat halfway decent food
Yeah, I'm not out to compete in any competitions or anything fancy. I want this to be a hobby and look good as a result. I didn't even think of eating before lifting, so I may want to do that before I start to get to the heavy weight. Thanks for the advice.
Just had my most active week in a long time. MWF I was in the gym, Tuesday I ran my first consecutive 2 miles since forever ago, Thursday I went to a track and did some 400m sprints, and I just got home from almost a 6 mile hike at 60#.
I notice a difference since my last picture as my arms are getting a little more defined and my gut is shrinking. Feels good man.

Broke down and bought a redbull today...
Sounds like double duty at the gym today.
So I just realized how old this thread is. My original goals were to not feel like a fatty, fit into old clothes, start lifting, and run a 5k. 3 of those 4 have already been completed so Iām going to focus a little harder on running.
Ran 2.5 miles this morning and will probably run another 3 or 4 after work. I kind of like the idea of getting up at 330 and getting shit done.
