Weight loss update
Just keeping things in gear! 175lbs currently. Down a total of 90lbs from my heaviest weight. 25 more lbs to go!
Forgotten Chapter Update
Eyyy. Been a minute on here. Almost a whole year! Decided to log in and see where I had left off and see the pattern seems the same of get motivated fall off the wagon but good news! Iām lower than I was before LOL. So progress I guess. weight loss update: Currently weighing in at 179.4lbs but Iāve been stalled for about a week. Sticking to keto with low calories as well about 30g carbs per day with 1000-1300 cals depending on how Iām feeling. Also doing IF for at least 16 hours per day and only eating Lunch and dinner. Since meals feel better when I can eat 600-700cal per meal. Iām back to seriously weighing and logging my food everyday and have about a 40 day streak going right now. Started the c25k program again 4 weeks ago. Had to repeat week 3 this week do to social obligations so I only did 2 of the 3 runs last week. I decided it would be a good idea to repeat it. Today will be run 3 of the repeat week and depending on how I feel I will be moving on to week 4. Switched up my gym program. Going 5 days a week with a split of Shoulders, Back, Chest, Legs and last day is Tri/Bi. Doing two ab exercises each weight day as well. Usually hitting about 4 exercises per muscle group doing sets of 4 with reps at 20, 16, 14 and 12. In terms of cardio, Iām trying to hit about 5-6 days of cardio per week for 20-30 minutes sessions. Either stationary bike, c25k, VR workouts, jump rope or an entire day of cleaning which keeps me in fat burn/cardio mode for hours. If all goes as planned Iām hoping this last 29lbs will be gone before the holidays. Wish me luck!
Quick weight loss update
06-18-2017. Eyyyyy. Back down to 206.2 this morning. Training 4 days a week. Working hard. Just wanted to post a quick update. 56.2 more lbs to go. Full charge.
maybe iāll procrastinate later
this speaks to me on a spiritual level

I deserve the bad things Iāve had to deal with.
Back at it again Update
06-04-2017 Prepare for a wall of text, but I figured I should update. I do like to look back at my shit and get a feel for how things are going. When I said I was going to get my shit together last time, I hit that 185lbs and like normal plateaued pretty damn hard. Fell into a bad frame of mind and fell off the wagon like usual. No excuses here. I maintained going to the gym regularly because I enjoy it. Right as I started eating like shit again I ended up getting super sick in November. Strep throat followed by pink eye (caused from the antibiotics) into a bad case of bronchitis. I havenāt been sick since high school. So this led to eating like shit and feeling like worse shit. Holidays hit me like a train wreck and I continued eating like shit. I came to the realization mentally that I wasnāt doing well, and went though some shit emotionally where I began accepting shit that happened to me as a child. Without getting to deep into the emotional shit, I had made excuses for the ways I was treated in my teenage years. Only until I saw a video that touched me hard, did I actually admit to having an abusive childhood. My mother was a heavy alcoholic, and so I am an adult child of an alcoholic. Many of my personal issues and some of my character traits make complete sense when compared to other ACoAās.Ā In a sense, coming to this realization has helped me immensely. Part of my weight loss struggle is due to using food as coping mechanism. Now that Iāve opened my eyes and know what my reasons are I can finally have closure and work on my eating habits. I have an unhealthy relationship to food and must address my habits in order to not fall back as I always do. My weight loss over the last few years has been one hell of a roller-coaster. But now that things make more sense I should have an easier time preventing myself from fucking up again. I got back up to 220lbs by March. Started actually trying to Keto off and on again in April. Didnāt getting serious until the beginning of May and was back down to 209. I went on vacation 2 weeks ago at 209.8lbs. I enjoyed myself and drank WAY too much. When I came home a week ago I was back up to 217.8 and I had felt like my entire month of doing well was shot to shit. Itās been a week since Iāve been home. Went back to the gym for the first time in two weeks (didnāt go the week before we left) on Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday to do a chest/tris, legs, back/shoulders/bicep split (everything is super sore FML) Checked my weight this morning and was back down to 209.4. So I managed to lose 8.4lbs this week. So it looks like I didnāt set myself back an entire month! Iām back on keto again. And my plan is a 4 day split at the gym. Chest/Tris, Legs, Back/Biceps and shoulders on the last day. Iāll be going Tuesday-Friday. I usually plateau around 200lbs and 185lbs.Ā So the plan is to add stationary bike 3 days a week for 30 minutes on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday when I hit 200lbs. Then at the 185lbs plateau Iāll restart the c25k program with a sit-up and push-up program on Monday, Wednesday and Fridays. Sundays will be my off day. From my previous post I mentioned the training Iāve been doing and how Iāve progressed... so I think Iāll copy pasta and add my newer numbers now since even though I was food shitty, I tried to not train shitty. Iāve seen hella growth on the leg press and started bench pressing as well. ----------------------
Pectoral Fly: 70lbs to 90lbs. ā> 130lbs Ā I could probably do 145 or more If I donāt bench so hard haha.
Shoulder press: 20lbs to 50lbs ā> 55lbs ----> using 30lbs dumbbells now
Tricep Extensions: 80lbs to 115lbs. ā> 170lbs ----> Now doing drop sets on cables starting at 57.5lbs in sets of 8s all the way down the rack
Low Row: 100lbs to 90lbs ā> 120lbs ----> Still at 120 :(
Leg Extensions: 130lbs to 145lbs. ā> Sticking to 145. ---> Still sticking to 145
Leg Press (my fav): 320lbs to 500lbs ā> 840lbs -----> 1017lbs. Total of 20 plates + machine weight. KILLING IT!
Squats: 90lbs to 180lbs ā>405lbs ---> started using actual squat rack. doing 1 plate comfortably for now.
Calf Press: Matching weight on leg press so 840lbs ---->18 plates + 117lbs for machine weight.
Hip abductors In: I can max the machines now. ---> Can still max
Hip abductors Out: Can max the machines now. ---> Can still max
Bench Press: Started with just the bar (45lbs) now up to 115lbs. My goal is to train to hit a 45lb plate on each side for sets of 8s. Rear Delts: 75lbs then a set on cables using 10-15. Chest Press (hammer strength): 140lbs ---> Still sticking to about 140 since I bench first. Depending on the day Iāll do it at 90 for more reps.
Lat Pull downs: 160 max ---> Started doing with the cable machine as well. 100lbs lat wide grip pull downs super setting with 100lbs under hand pull downs.
Shoulder Shrugs: 160lbs max --> about the same. Grip strength is shitty. Assisted pull ups 115lbs in sets of 8s with 4 total sets super setting with back extensions using body weight in sets of 8s. Dumbbell Chest press to failure with 30lbs dumbbells. Dumbbell inclined fly 20lb dumbbells in sets of 10
Laying down leg curls at about 65-70lbs Max of 90 but that shit hurts Front lateral Raises Cable at 20lbs Lateral Raises with 15lb dumbbells. (include front lateral raises and side as well super setting) ----------------------------- So letās try this again. For the last time.
Hereās an easy guide to remember some dog names.
In cars two at the airport the cars have to go through tsa checks and take off their wheels and stuff which implies the cars Universe had a 9/11
Wait. Oh my god. But planes are sentient in the cars universe. Did cars hijack the plane or did the planes fly themselves.
Nobody knows
Buddy they have car pope. A car jesus died on a car cross and weāre worried if car bush did car 9/11
I could not comprehend a word of this initially and I thought I was having a stroke
āI want to speak to a manager,ā the middle-aged woman said in her stern I-used-to-be-a-soccer-mom-ten-years-ago voice, looking down at me over the top of her Gucci reading glasses.
A wicked grin split across my face and the gates of Hell opened up behind me, releasing a gust of hot wind that whipped my apron around my body and forced the woman to shield her face. Demons came forth, dancing around in flames with songs of, āShe wants to speak to a manager. Did you hear that? She wants to speak to a manager!ā before erupting into earsplitting shrieks of laughter, none louder than my own cackling.
I took in the womanās look of utter horror before my eyes rolled back into my head and I growled,
āI am the manager.ā
a thing for one of my favorite posts on this site
you canāt get ganked if youāre already dead from giving first blood to your laner
Lmao this American girl walked up to a Hungry Jacks (Burger King) register with her drink and really, really loudly (I was at the other side of the place) proclaimed: āI asked for Lemonade, you gave me Spriteā in a really bitchy, entitled voice.
The cashier (and everyone within earshot) just looked at her like āthe fuck is wrong with youā
In Australia, Sprite IS lemonade as far as weāre concerned.
Enjoy your 90c refund you cheap ass ho.
āSprite IS lemonade as far as weāre concernedā
@fleamont can you verify?
Yeah this is correct. Lemonade is sprite. Clear fizzy liquid type thing. Solo is closer to what American lemonade is but we donāt actually have what you guys consider lemonade anyway so she was never going to get what she wanted lmao.
Y'ALL AINāT GOT LEMONADE?!?!??
madnessā¦
āwe donāt actually have what you guys consider lemonadeā
That entire continent exists on a different realm of existence
What the⦠Lmao
Why is it called lemonade then? š¤
@casualswfan What is wrong with you guys?
IT IS THE SAME DAMN THING. You Yankees and your fifty brands of the same :P
LEMONADE AND SPRITE ARE NOTHING ALIKE
Things heating up in the drink fandom
Iām pretty sure the same is true in the UK at least was in 2010 except Sprite didnāt seem to be a common brand so Iād ask for Sprite get blank looks eventually figured out to ask for lemonadeĀ
Sprite is a recognised brand here, but itās not omnipresent, it is also considered a brand of lemonade.
This is fucked up.
Sprite: lemon-lime soda (pop/carbonated beverage). Lemonade: lemons, water, and sugar. Still.
LEMONADE IS NOT CARBONATED WHATT HEFUCC CK ARE YOU ALL DOIGN
Living? Sensibly?
Also on what planet does Sprite have lime in it.
Sprite, the lemon-lime flavored carbonatedĀ beverage, is made on Earth.
EarthĀ is the third planet from the Sun, the densest planet in the Solar System, the largest of the Solar Systemās four terrestrial planets, and the only astronomical object known to harbor Sprite.
The people of Earth are known asĀ āEarthlingsā orĀ āSpriteloidsā interchangeably (although not to each other).
At least in the UK, if you order lemonade youāll sometimes get Sprite, but if itās proper itās a lemon soda akin to the Italian gassosa - less sweet than Sprite.
Oh shit, Iāve had gassosa, itās AMAZING.
I just want to say that the whole ālemonade and Sprite are interchangeableā is pretty common throughout Asia as well, in my experience
@bre-e-e-e what madness is this?!?!?!?!
@kingkilling-and-stormlight so⦠what you are all saying is. Lemonade is ⦠not fizzy⦠in America?
You guys have orange juice at least, right? Grapefruit juice? In the US, Lemonade is a juice, like orange juice, but made with lemons instead of oranges. You can buyĀ āfresh squeezed lemonadeā at many restaurants and fast food venues. Typically itās diluted a bit with sugar water, so the sour flavor of the raw lemon juice isnāt so overpowering.Ā
In the south, itās very common for people buy whole lemons and make their own lemonade at home using a citrus juicer.
In Germany, youād ask forĀ āLimonadeā and yeah, you may get a Sprite or a Fanta; itāll always be a fizzy nonalcoholic drink and usually come in lemon, lime, orange flavor. Only in healthfood or hipster establishments would it ever be an actual juice drink.
As a fan of homemade rosewater lemonade, I am twitching at the thought of sickly sweet carbonated beverages that taste like they were invented byĀ someone who may have been in the same room as a citrus fruit once but canāt remember what it actually tastes like being called lemonade.
Wtf did y'all think beyonce was talking about????
oh wow I hadnāt even considered that. Like millions of people worldwide hearing the album title but not understanding what lemonade means even on the most superficial level.
This is so epically disturbing. Lemonade is such an integral part of spring and summertime. I just ⦠this breaks my brain and my heart. The cultural references too. Just, all the American shows that reference lemonade and people in other countries are thinking Sprite? Thereās a reason kids do freshly squeezed lemonade stands. You canāt buy it like that from a store. And thereās nothing quite like screwing it up and getting the sugar ratio wrong. And parents grinning through the too sour or too sweet mess and praising your efforts. Lemonade Is a Thing.
Wait does that mean Aussies make Shandies with sprite?????
Does this mean a significant portion of the global population donāt know what to do when life hands you lemons?
Yes, Australians make Shandies with our carbonated soft drink lemonade, though if youāre using it as a mixer, youāre less likely to be using Sprite and more likely to be using Schweppes, which looks like this:
Like. We absolutely have a concept of flat, juice-based lemonade, but as an earlier commenter said, itās a niche hipster speciality rather than the default, and even then, itās still going to be premade rather than fresh.Ā
OH GOD THATāS WHY AMERICAN CHILDREN CAN MAKE IT AND SELL IT SO EASILY. I ALWAYS WONDERED HOW KIDS COULD MAKE A CARBONATED DRINK AT HOME.
Reblogging for Beyonce. This thread is gold.
@cresselian
Sonā¦..this whole shit had me DYIIINNNNN @kodomomori @karladrummond @m0onlitskies šš turtleā¦confirm!?!
Ohmygawd. Wtf. I can't even. Lemonade is the best drink ever. How could they confuse that with a damn soda. Gross.
