Talking Self-improvement thread! (pls no negativity or politics)

Is this something anyone would be interested in?

We can chat about exercise, diet, school, career, and whatever else! Please let us have something nice and let's not ruin it with negativity or other weirdness.

I have a lot to say about my current situation but would like someone else to start so I know there's some interest here.

This is a noble goal. What steps have you taken so far?

Once piece of advice that I have read for dietary changes is to start a small ritual, like praying before a meal. It can be secular ofc like simply taking the time to be thankful for the food you are about to eat, right before you eat it. Maybe something to consider.

Please keep us updated and let us know how you do going forward [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Okay, here's me:

School:

This has to come first. I'm doing some extremely difficult coursework this semester, and thus far have basically just not done any of the necessary studying. The entire reason I ended up back on these silly forums is bc I've been practicing "creative avoidance," and that needs to end. So I've booked my first appointment at focusmate, which promises to be awkward. Webcam chat with a stranger to be productive. We'll see if it helps.

Training:

Training is going pretty well. I adjusted my programming for the semester to something more barebones, in order to save time for studying. The volume is lower for each workout, but the idea is I maybe get one (at most) rest day a week to sort of make up for it.

A:
Pull up - 6xAMRAP
Squat - 3x8
Bench - 3x8
RDL - 3x8

B:
Chin up - 6xAMRAP
Hip thrust - 3x8
Bench - 3x8
Good morning - 3x8

Currently my biceps tendinopathy is acting up (maybe too much bench and chins), so I'm alternating between doing pulls/chins and bench- not doing both each day.

I haven't been doing cardio at all, which needs to change. Recently purchased a new bike. A goal for tomorrow is to ride it around, just for 20 mins.

Diet:

Diet isn't a super big focus of mine rn. I successfully bulked up to 160lbs and now have quite a bit of fat I could stand to lose. I'm trying to eat a big bowl of oatmeal with pea milk, greek yogurt (5g sugar/cup), and a bunch of berries for breakfast each morning I don't have work. So I'll try to keep that up.

Self-care

Wednesdays are my big self-care days, as I prepare for my work week! My goal is to have all the things done before 8pm bedtime :P

I hope to provide an update to all my things tomorrow.

Let's go, guys!! <3
