STAY/GET BACK IN SHAPE VOL 3.0 -- A New Niketalk = A New Thread

I just ate a Krispy Kreme chocolate with creme filled doughnut and it was delicious.
 
The only thing I drink on a consistent basis is water. I bring 2 bottles of water to work everyday. I have coffee in the morning on occasion and once in a while some cranberry juice but 95% of the time it's water.
 
I've never been on a strict meal plan. I always have a hard time with that kind of stuff.

Often times I'll make 8-10 pieces of grilled chicken and have a few pieces for lunch / dinner over the course of 2-3 days. I usually like to cook up some assorted vegetables to go with it. That's pretty much the "easy" thing to do for "healthy" eating in my mind.

In terms of eating consistently, that's also a problem.

I rarely eat 3 meals a day more so because I often times skip breakfast as I just don't have time for it / wake up with the mentality of shower get dressed get out.

Perhaps that's a big problem too. Also I try to eat lunch every day but at work sometimes I just don't have a lunch. Often times when I get home, dinner is an assortment of things. I'm Russian so a lot of potatoes and chicken, hard to resist.

The main thing for me I feel like has always been the need for a strict work out plan and a strict diet plan. Literally a 7 day list of things to do / eat and to keep track of.
 
Not skipping breakfast would be a great place to start. You don't even have to eat that much. My go to breakfast on my rush out the house is a quest bar, a banana (or an apple), some orange juice or milk, and I'm good to go for 3 hours.
 
dude sounds like you eat practically nothing and yet you're gaining weight? you sleep at your desk? you wanna lose weight, you're going to have to commit to burning more calories than you take in. i'd suggest you do some kind of exercise and don't complain if you're not making any progress.

and why is everyone so big on breakfast. if i skip a meal or if i'm doing IF, breakfast is the easiest one for me to miss. i don't suffer any lethargy or drop in energy.

and bigboss, i ate a massive amount of cronuts/japanese pastries, candies, soda, ramen and was loving it. we walked so much and slept so little that i actually lost 1# while eating easily in excess of 3000 cals/day lol.

I'm in a real bad place...

My goal has always been to be at around 165 - 170 lbs tops. I'm 5'8.

I had surgery in December of 2013 and around that time was at 174lbs, not happy with that bc I wanted to be leaner but it was much better the now. My normal weight since I got out of college in 2010 has been steady around 175-182ish. Since last August I got a new office job where I'm sitting most of the time.

Since December to now, I don't know what happened. I was never a big gym guy, I would go for a few weeks and then stop because I just wasn't motivated and the 20 minute drive to the gym was annoying. Running bores me to tears and I even have a treadmill in my living room.

Over the last 2 months I've really noticed my weight get out of hand, I've ballooned to a size I've never imagined being at. I just weighed myself and I'm at 195lbs.

I'm seriously disgusted with myself. I don't think I eat that poorly, not much junk food at all, no fast food ever. I think it's more so from lack of activity and not eating really clean. I've gone periods where I've eaten better so that's not an issue I know I can do that.

I also feel bad because my gf is a marathon runner, she's 124 lbs beautiful and loves to run. I go with her once in a blue moon but I really hate it and am not in shape, even 2.5 miles is extremely difficult to do outside in my hilly neighborhood. Obviously you want to look good for your spouse and even though she tells me to shut up when I say I've gained a lot of weight, it's still a personal thing. I hate it.

And I really am lost at what to do. I know the obvious answer is eat better and get active but I feel like I've done it before and yet I'm back in the same cycle. I have a hard time keeping it up. I get sore, stop for 2 days to rest and then all of a sudden it's 3-4 weeks later and I haven't done anything.

This probably sounds sad and as if it's a pity party but I genuinely hate it and feel like crap. My body feels awful, I feel bloated and fat. It's emotional.

Perhaps I'm just looking for guidance or a plan or a routine or just some words of encouragement but I needed to vent because I'm literally almost heartbroken at the way things have gone and how I feel with my body.

didnt read the entire thing, skipped through

point blank you need to grow some balls. you wanna lose weight? eat better. PERIOD

you dont need to run to lose weight AT ALL! just lifting, starting doing something that get you up and has you moving around. Plenty of people lose weight without doing an ounce of cardio, it all starts with diet.

you need to just suck it up, change your diet and start lifting. not saying turn into a bodybuilder but do it a few times a week. a 20 minute drive to the gym isnt gonna kill you, if thats stopping you then you dont wanna change.

dont write 10 paragraphs tell us your sob story when you already know the issue. no one here is gonna make you eat better and exercise. you know what to do, you just dont wanna do it :lol:

if i came off at rude/mean its probably because i am.

Man that sounds awesome, is Japan one of those places where they have crazy fried animals on a stick for sale in the streets? lol

Man I always eat breakfast. I think skipping it in my senior year of HS was one of the factors to my weight problems, besides not doing ****. I usually have about 250g of egg whites, 4 whole eggs and some toast with about 30oz of water. Anybody else love breakfast cause of eggs? I love eggs.

lol. weird stick food in the market and restaurants but not as drastic as like in china.

i don't like eggs much but i'll make some big omelettes with spinach and cheese and whatever else on the weekends for family breakfast. i'd rather eat pancakes, hash and bacon. now i make protein pancakes and turkey bacon.

Dat feel of DB pressing 100s for reps for this first time.

Then you plateau cause your gym doesn't have 105s fml. That jump from 100 to 110 is intense.
 
MY GYM FINAAALLLLLY UPGRADED OVER THE SUMMER AND OURS GO UP TO LIKE 160

STUPID OWNER ALSO PROMISED BATTLE ROPES AND A ROW MACHINE BUT NOOOOOOOOOO THEY BUILT A STUPID ROOM FOR CLASSES INSTEAD SMH
 
My gym has battle ropes which are nice, never used them before but no damn rowing machines. Miss having a rowing machine to workout with. They are constantly bringing in new equipment though so maybe soon.
 
How many of you dudes in here actually do cleans & jerks, and snatches??? Real show of power.....


Not just bench press...and the comical leg press???
