Essential Random Gym Thoughts Revisited...
- Thread starter -G$-
- Start date
I see why some people don’t take too much time off. Returning to a routine can be so tough
Man this shyt is elite, good looking on the suggestions. Been prepping for the week all yr.
Subbed Greek yogurt for the almond milk, but still use a splash for consistency, added protein powder in with creatine, and the chia seeds, and otherwise toss some different flavors in by the day. Maybe some dark chocolate chips, some PB, some cocoa powder, or sugar free syrup, or just some fruit. Honey to sweeten, and a dash of salt to balance it.
shyt is a super food. nikka barely even hungry at lunch time with all that fiber and protein.
10lbs up on the yr no pudge
Bruh….
Between the wedding and honeymoon I’ve been out of routine for 3ish weeks. Well worth it but definitely itching to start over.
Same here. I’m about 2.5 weeks off it. Itching to get back to it.
Want a very good push from now through MDW
Also need to get this holiday bloat off

Random thoughts:
What to improve/switch up for Q2
By time I pull up to my old spots in Naija later this year
- Looking back, Q1 was very solid. Diet was on point, active pretty much everyday, no weed and kept the drinks to a somewhat respectable limit.
- I lowkey should have kept pushing through at least June. My 10 day holiday is now creeping up on almost 3 weeks out of my routine but that’s done this week. Diet back to standard, getting my water intake and steps back up, etc.
- Weed is my biggest killer both in terms of diet and working out. Even on holiday I gotta be careful, saps my motivation to do better. May just bin it for life moving forward.
- Goal for Q2 is to knock off another 15 then I should be in a much better place for toning up. Most of the heavy lifting would have been done.
- Biggest thing for me last quarter: proof of concept and process. If I follow my process, I WILL see results. Won’t be straight-line but if I’m consistent, the results will be, too.
What to improve/switch up for Q2
- Timing of getting in at the gym. Need to be in before 5:15 daily
- Less snacking at office. If I didn’t pack it or plan for it, let it go. There will always be free food
- Be tighter on where and when I’ll have a drink
- Might try for 12K steps daily instead of 10K
- Better meal prep for the weekend
- My Friday gym session I’ll switch to a sport. Boxing or tennis for right now.

I've cut the holiday weight (10lbs) after a hard two weeks. No cheat meals/tracked macros. 6 days/week in the gym. 10k steps every day. Embrace the mundane. There is beauty in it.Random thoughts:

Q1 was proof of process, Q2 will be visible proof that the process is working. By July 4th we gonna be cooking with gas

I really wish I could rep you for the bolded because it’s so true.
This is actually what I think gave me a lot of success in Q1 as it concerned fitness goals. Just embracing the mundane aspects of the process would give me joy because I know the results would come with time and consistency
By end of the month my holiday weight (10-12lbs) should be off, too, now that I’m back to regular scheduled programming. I even moved my annual physical to early May so the results aren’t skewed by the bloat.
Very excited for Q2 and the progress I can make.
