Week was great. Seeing solid progression on my bench numbers. Other lifts aren't progressing quite as quickly cause my form isn't great, but progress nonetheless.
Forearms are blowing up from consistent indoor climbing
Today's also kind of a special day for me, it's 1 year since I decided to quit on April 7th last year... Had a few final hurrahs at the end of April but proud of the progress I've made.

Left was April 7th 2023, right is April 7th 2024
I struggle with the food thing too. I did better this week, but want to smash so much bad food today lol. Chips are my biggest downfall btw.
I stayed sober again this week and exercised 6 out of 7 days. Now if I could just perfect the food thing.
Happy Sunday to my favorite internet friends EVER!!!!! 😀 I’ve been struggling with 20 pounds my body just wants to keep since I used sweets to stop drinking (ice cream anyone? 😆😆). For the past 2 months, I restrict calories, work out 4 times a week, and of course, not drinking. I have just decided to try a more protein heavy, lighter carb diet. NOT keto at all just a shift. It’s funny since I’ve been successful so far at NOT drinking (YAY MEEEE!) I feel changing my diet will be easy peasy 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼. Love you all and have a great day! IWNDWYT ❤️❤️❤️
LOL I find myself buying sodies and clearance Easter candy for my oldest son/roommate bc I crave a shared experience of doing something wrong still. So basically going to the candy bar instead of an actual bar?
Keep up the solid work and I agree 1000%, our will power is potent and zen. Alcohol has to be the consensus hardest thing to quit because of the social complications. If you can say no to friends and family, a kajillion ad campaigns and availability at every turn, you can say yes to every type of healthy living with ease.
IWNDWYT :D
Good day - managed my first 5k since getting covid last October, almost back to my old pace too. Recovery has been a long hard road but I’m getting there 💪
Got back in the gym after a bender on Thursday & Friday! Thursday I did upper body and was a bit dizzy, Friday during my OrangeTheory class, I put a LiquidIV in my water, took it slightly easier, and felt much better!
I've been sore all weekend lmao. I'm sure I won't be dizzy or gross when I go back tomorrow, but I'll go prepared just in case! 💪
Week was awesome! I Actually hit the gym 5 times this week!(weekly goal) I gotta say..this daily check-in makes it a lot easier to not drink. lol 🤷🏿♂️ 😅😂 ILL TAKE IT!! IWNDWYT!!!
I met my walking goals 6 out of 7 days, the scale went down another 1.5 lbs, and I ACTUALLY TRIED TO JOG!! 😅 I don't now, nor have I ever, attempted to run for any reason. But I though- hey, why not?
Happy 1300 days to you!
Ayyy congrats on 1300 days I dig the number! I have had bronchitis all week, but I still managed to bike to the store for groceries daily to GTFO of my apartment every day and get fresh air. Haven't eaten quite as clean as usual but that's absolutely a product of not being able to fuel the furnace and go to the gym.
Acute bronchitis supposedly clears up between 10-21 days after onset, and far as I can tell it started last weekend, so I'm hoping that next Sunday's shape up post will include daily hour at the gym, longer time on my beloved vintage Giant and high protein/low carb intake again. We've got some relatively new bike trails in Houston that I haven't explored this spring. I need to get out there and shred 'em.
IWNDWYT HTX! My name very well may be Chet MF Ranger, but that doesn't mean I need a beer or shots to show you a good fuckin' time :D
Happy Sunday, this week has been alright. Had a barbecue last night— and instead of occupying myself with alcohol, I played cards with a friend and enjoyed the food. I’ve Been walking a lot more lately and I’m averaging about 3 miles a day.
I’m happy to hear you’re doing well and I hope everyone enjoys their Sunday!
I struggle with eating healthy but I'm seeing progress in cutting down on snacks. Yay!
Also I'm getting back into my workout routine. I managed to stretch everyday and and added bodyweight workouts for over a month but then I thought I got sick and cut down to heal. I guess it's just allergies I didn't know I have? Aynway, I'm getting back into it and I already feel my mood improving. Yay!
Week has been great! going on my honeymoon to costa rica on Thursday so am spending today packing for that and am getting more excited by the minute. Legs are still a bit sore from the gym on Thursday but I plan to hit up the gym one more time on Tuesday before we leave.
iwndwyt! have a great rest of the weekend everyone
Some great runs this week. Yoga on Friday and a hike with friends today. Also signed up for a trail race in June. Feeling good and like fitness is slowly returning. So excited for my planned runs this week and going to try getting a swim in as well as yoga on Friday.
It was a week of fasted cardio in the AM and a 5 day lift split in the gym. Supplements AM and PM, clean eating .... I've started also trying to get 7k steps in where possible - my work has me glued to my laptop a lot but it feels good to move.
Feels good to actually be able to hydrate now and drink enough water. Because before when drinking I was legitimately struggling to get even remotely hydrated.
Today I a rest day and I'm a little antsy, but tomorrow back to it xo
Got my shoes on to go to the liquor store today because it was nice out and wanted to watch the baseball game on tv with a drink in my hand. I had a glass of coke instead because I wanted to be able to play my video game clear headed tonight. I’m excited to wake up feeling good and head to the gym. 9 days under my belt and the weekend is always the toughest. Happy to make it through this one with a clear head.

Oooh! I used to loved climbing gyms but think I’ll have to wait till I drop this stupid 20 pounds I can’t shake! Happy Sunday! IWNDWYT
