I suspect it's because, for some folks, eating well takes focus and discipline. And when things are in relative chaos around you, it is harder to maintain the will power necessary to stay the course. It's why routine can be so important to people who are trying to get in shape.
The guys in here who have six packs but are dieting are infuriating.
I have a couple of 2-liters, not six-packs.
This pretty much nails it. For me it's easy when I can get into a routine and have good habits. It's a lot harder outside of that.
I like to think that those of us who are pretty close to looking the way we want only would like to encourage others (as I for one was once a 250lb fat-###) that you can attain whatever your goals are given enough time and dedication. Also the knowledge that the closer you get to your goal, in many ways it gets more difficult because the fat gets way more stubborn. This can be very frustrating and de-motivating so you need to stay strong..The guys in here who have six packs but are dieting are infuriating.
I bet the added stress doesn't help. I know that when I'm feeling out of sorts or stressed I'll often want to eat way more than I normally do. Don't know why but it's true for me.
I finally knew I had this when I understood my health and fitness issues were similar to any addict's. Remember, I'm the guy who posts about how much I yoyo-ed. Like a 10 year sober alcoholic is still an alcoholic, even with abs poking through, I am still a fat### and always will be.Well good on you guys I say.
I don't have an answer for this one. My life is gloriously stress free lately, but no doubt even short term periods of chaotic schedule, urgent personal problems, family issues... whatever... seemed to direct my vehicle straight to the drive thru.
We had both kids in to see the doctor yesterday, and hit McDonald's drive thru on the way home. It's just been a little overwhelming, and that was an easy solution that made everyone happy at the time. Yes I could have passed for it myself and instead drive separately to a deli after I got home and picked up a salad or something. It just wasn't happening. If it were a regular work day never in a million years do I go to McDonald's, I'd be at my office having either a salad or a protein shake for lunch.
The last time I was stressed, my kid lost athletic eligibility because she was blowing off school. After going several rounds with her, catching her in numerous lies, conferencing with teachers, finding a tutor, organizing all the missing work to get her back in action... all in one frustration filled day... I ate half an apple pie.
Interesting. In my case it was just there and so was I, our eyes locked and we knew that one of us was not leaving that room alive.
I think I've mentioned this before, maybe it was another forum. If you want to stop biting your nails for good, get Invisalign. With it in, you simply can't bite your nails. You can't get an angle on them.
This is a situation where someone has come to the right conclusion for the wrong reasons.
I assume you mean his conclusion "to cook real food from real ingredients," and not the one stated in the headline.
clicks = $On board with the general premise though. Shop the outer rim of the store and cook more. You will feel better and have more energy, it translates to much better workouts.
This times infinity. It's been a long week and weekend. I feel like hell.
Mine will be by the pound.Tecumseh said:
Nice GB, keep it up. That short commute to work makes that possible. Let's see you do it once you have a couple brats and move to the suburbs
The only good thing about plateaus is if you keep running an energy deficit, they end in long downhill slopes.
As the thread falls to page 5.
Amen to this.
So yeah, I did some research and watched a ton of videos. My deadlift form was pretty bad. I was doing three things wrong:
Good for you for doing some research. You can actually hurt yourself pretty good doing deads with bad form. For me, I focus on keeping my a** down and my back angle straight (the standard athletic stance for golf, etc). I also push through my heels to ensure that I maintain that position. Lastly, keep the bar as close to your shins as you can, many people even scrape their shins with the bar.
My daughter was born six weeks ago and my MIL stayed with us. She is a great cook, so I had that to contend with. We also have a lot of friendly neighbors who brought food by for us. It was very nice, but none of it was particularly healthy.
