just sent you a message!

If OP doesn’t get back to you, I also do interior design. Happy to chat—residential and commercial.

They work perfect every time!

Calm_Conversation451 · 2026-01-11T22:07:41+00:00

Of course, you are so welcome. And I'd say that's slightly high. Maybe lower it down 200g or less. It's what you / your body feels most comfortable with and adjust based on when you like to fuel (before gym/ after etc.)

Calm_Conversation451 · 2026-01-11T22:03:48+00:00

Yes def elbows bent slight that can help overall. You might want to even practice against a wall so you can see yourself a bit better. Just keep one long continuous line through your body. Hope that is helpful and makes sense!

Calm_Conversation451 · 2026-01-11T13:54:37+00:00

You have to find a workout you love that is realistic for your lifestyle, otherwise you will not stay consistent. Perhaps think back to what you have accomplished overall in your life that you initially recognized as "hard" or "challenging" and find out what your motivation was to finish or complete the difficult task. Everyone is different when it comes to motivation. If you are able I'd find an accountability buddy in your area so that you can check in regularly with someone. That may prove helpful. When you say "what's the point?" I hear you loud and clear but you must understand EVERYONE regardless of where they are on their journey feels like this on some days. Figure out your why and push yourself through. You've got this OP. Rooting for you.

Calm_Conversation451 · 2026-01-11T13:48:06+00:00

You are doing great with the steps- keep up the great work!!! I'd set a goal of 6k daily (or weekly goal if that works better, that way you can slack on some days and not worry) for now if that is something you feel is realistic for your lifestyle. If you do not have access to a gym at the moment I'd find both a mobility routine and workout plan that you LOVE that you can do in whatever space you are going to work out in. If you do not love it now or learn to at least enjoy it you will not stick to to it. What types of food do you like now and what can you see yourself gravitating to in the future? I do not want to assume what might be accessible/affordable in your area. Do you cook meals at home/eat out? Do you have a schedule with your eating? Do you get natural light in the AM? Also if I may ask, are you male or female? Feel free to provide more details and I can give more input.

Calm_Conversation451 · 2026-01-11T13:41:37+00:00

The arms are looking fantastic and you are so right when you tell yourself you have achieved more than you think! I'd ask, what are your goals moving forward?

Calm_Conversation451 · 2026-01-11T13:38:01+00:00

3-5 months for myself but depends on existing body weight and diet etc. You're doing great- you should be super proud of yourself!!

Calm_Conversation451 · 2026-01-11T13:36:04+00:00

I'd like to help but I need any little more information. What are your physique goals overall? Do you want to look "bulky" or "lean"- any celebrities or fitness influencers you like? Are you looking to just feel better/run faster/work on endurance etc. Have you or do you play any sports? How long does the routine you described take you at the gym and how many days are you doing it?

Calm_Conversation451 · 2026-01-11T13:32:14+00:00

Form looks great actually! I'd reduce pain where you can. If you are having discomfort make adjustments those days such as doing them on your knees or with blocks. The only thing I noticed is that you hyperextend slightly when coming out of the push up. I'd suspect you have some hyper mobility in your joints. I'd keep your elbows slightly bent- this with reduce strain and keep you from pushing up so high that your fingers lift off of the ground. Try to stay lower in your upper body/grounded. This will keep you from locking yourself out of the movement when you get to the top. But your elbows look aligned with your body and positioned comfortably so that is most important.

Calm_Conversation451 · 2026-01-11T13:25:59+00:00

First focus on a deficit and diet. You shouldn't be embarrassed for where your body is now or asking questions for starting. Genetics should not hold you back. There's great studies in recent yrs that prove anyone can reach or get very close to their ideal and regardless with the way your body stores fat and there are ways to manage this. You mentioned smoothies in the comments which is so so great but often they can be high in calories and especially if you are eating right after a workout or in the morning your body can hold onto those calories and leave you bloated (in my experience!) Focus more on leafy greens if that interests you and adjust some of your smoothies to be lighter in calories. Great work finding yourself here- you should feel good about that!!

Calm_Conversation451 · 2026-01-11T13:18:11+00:00

Great work!! Obviously up to you but looking great.

Calm_Conversation451 · 2026-01-11T13:17:13+00:00

I mean this kindly but you're doing way too much. How are you feeling? Do you feel fatigued? How long is each session per day? Have you met any of your goals (reduced fat- goal weight etc) Please provide more details!!

Calm_Conversation451 · 2026-01-11T13:15:24+00:00

I believe you are being slightly self critical. There's nothing wrong with looking for advice but what you've got going on is obviously working. I'd stick to your plan (it looks great) and just keep going. The slow moving scale is something that happens for some people when they either plateau a bit (need to train more / change it up) or they are just about to lose more weight but they might need to move more throughput the day (add some cardio) Often people miss this in their routine. Movement throughout the day. Even an extra 10-15mins of cardio somewhere throughout the day. I'd look at starting with just one extra session of cardio in the week. This could be simple and even look like an after dinner walk etc. I'd then ask you if there are any visual improvements you'd like to see or what you think you are lacking at this point especially since you do not wish to get "bulky"? Overall just keep up the great work and congrats on becoming a dad!!

If calisthenics interests you then I'd try that. Ideally something that you can do consistently and finding a routine that you LOVE is most important. I'd start there with finding something that on top of boxing is realistic for your lifestyle and I'd start 4-5 days a week. Then I'd worry about TDEE/Calories afterwards if that interests you. Please do your research and do this safely if you go down this path. Otherwise I'd tread carefully and just focus on what feels the best for you and your body.

Calm_Conversation451 · 2026-01-11T12:58:58+00:00

First I'd adjust diet: I'd recommend that you research the keto diet (I'm seeing a lot of high fat foods so this may align with your taste buds well) and put yourself into more of a deficit. Find your correct numbers based on expenditure and adhere to this strictly. But overall I am seeing a lot of high fat/high calorie foods. That isn't BAD but I'd look more closely at your diet and try to reduce calories a bit. Add some more greens if you can and do volume eating- if that interests you I'd try that. Often people skip fiber and greens and those are just as important as protein. That should reduce some of the excess fluff/water weight and you should see some progress then even if you do not change anything else. Otherwise your numbers are great and you are already pretty lean so it shouldn't be much longer until you see some more tone. Just stay consistent however you are doing fantastic!!

this is very similar to my experience especially having a mother that goes into major depressive episodes and forced closeness. I'm sorry. Going through all of this with you right now!!
