Quit the gym as soon as COVID hit, so I have been relying on changing my diet, doing more activities outside and using resistance bands. The diet change was easy since I gave up eating out. Now I cook for myself more and only have takeout twice a month. Resistance bands I try to do everyday, but I don't do as much cardio as my old gym routine.
 
I am planning to get an exercise bike to do more cardio because I highly doubt I will be going back to the gym in 2021. I am fine-tuning a consistent routine that keeps me active.

Yeah, the quarantine forced me to change my diet too.  I can't really say I lost weight but I definitely became leaner overall.  I'm still about the same weight but I can tell a lot of it is muscle density making up for it.  For now I'm staying active and continuing to show discipline.
 
Home cooking is also something that can improve self-confidence.  You see these neat looking food items in magazines and menus and then you up and make it yourself, you don't burn your house down, it tastes amazing and it's way better for you.  It's godlike.  
 
I pulled my MCL a couple of weeks ago so I've fallen off big time on my squats.  I've been gradually stressing my quads again so I can not fall off too hard with I fully heal, and I'm confident I can make myself stronger than before.  
 
The weight truck before this injury was one of my favorite new things to do post-quarantine.  It's extremely motivating to have the weight truck at max resistance with 6 45s stacked upon it and to be able to do laps with it.  Even the trainers were in awe.  I'm proud that I was able to keep pace and even improve my performance during quarantine.  The metal hook of my resistance bands broke off earlier this week during my lunch break workout, so I still gotta hook up the new stuff.  
 
 

Quarantine forced me to stop making excuses and go all in with my workout routines, whether it be stretches, aerobics, heavy weights, cardio or overarching physical activity.  I taught myself how to cook delicious healthy food too. 
 
How's everyone holding up as we reach the end of the COVID mess and vaccines start to roll out?  

I need to start working out but I've changed my diet, cut out fast food, reduced calories, cut my sugar intake and I've gone from 259lbs to 231lbs. I literally have to buy some more belts because I can't tighten my belt anymore (out of holes). Went from 40" pants to 36" pants. My waist is actually smaller than 36".
 

 

Angela's got some cool themes
 
 
 
 
 
can't find who composed that song^ but sounds like crust/punk 🤘

My mind is now blown...😮

I always tell people I'm not always going to answer the phone, for whatever reason I want, if thats a problem for you, dont bother calling me at all. 
 
I tell people to text me. Best way to get a hold of me.

I Love theme parks, and this will be amazing.

So ya mean to tell me people actually out here eating entire pizza pies by themselves??? I know we Americans are said to have the biggest asses in the world but damn.

Copped myself a Dualsense controller. Been using it on Steam. 
 
You obviously don't get any of the PS5 functionality, like the locking triggers or haptic feedback, but otherwise it feels amazing. It's slightly more weighty than the DS4, which is perfect. The material on the area where your last three fingers will grip is VERY slightly granulated, while the rest of it is smooth. It's a nice distinction from the rest of the surface area of the controller and my grip feels ever so slightly more stable due to it. 
 
Haven't charged the thing since I bought it, and I've played for a little over 3 hours total. Already better battery life than the DS4, lol. 
 
Buttons feel great. Not too clicky but not too soft either. It also has compete and total functionality with every Steam game I've played so far. 
 
Basically, early impressions are good. It's a major improvement upon the Dualshock line in my opinion, even without all the cool PS5 specific functionality. 
 
 
 
Also, sorry for the unrelated double post but... Did ya'll know the Lost Planet 2 servers are still working?? 
 
Game is 3 fuckin dollars right now on Steam so I copped it. Such an underrated game, it was one of my favorites from last gen. It even looks like a current gen game on PC, almost. 
 
There's even people playing still. I was able to hop into some random missions. What an unexpected treat this is 😬
 
I also copped Metal Gear Revengance, Sonic All Stars Racing Transformed, Dishonored 1 (never beat it) and Sonic CD. 😎
 
There's some insanely good deals on Steam right now. Would highly reccomend checking your wishlists. 

Don't believe in your dreams, kids. 🙂

I love leftovers 🙂

Happy thanksgiving forum friendos!
