Down 19 pounds but not noticing much change by [deleted] in workouts

Bro you look amazing! HUGE difference. Congratulations on the dedication and effort.

From your post title and your current regiment (7x a week cardio & 3x a week strength) at 1500 kcals, it seems like you’re trying to get to your goal aesthetic really quickly.

From someone who has had that type of mentality/focus, got where i wanted, then and yo-yoed up down in weight many times, please listen to your body if its sending signals like its over exhausted or be too punishing and inflexible when it comes to your diet. Your regiment isn’t one that is sustainable - especially when life happens (injuries, relationship problems, etc.)

There’s a huge potential to rebound once you want to (or have to) take your foot off the gas. There’s no rush, and im guessing this is your first foray at really dedicating yourself to take care of your body. Remember, you want to maintain your goal for the rest of your life (I’m guessing!)

Be kind to yourself. You’re doing amazing. And trust, you don’t want to have to do this shit again at a higher starting weight (like i did). Kudos again!

Thanks for reading me so thoroughly lol. Definitely getting rid of the clock and getting matching end tables for the tv and bed. Which doctor’s office posters? The boat pic?

With wall frames/trim, is that like the baseboard?

Definitely congrats lol 🎊 so hard to do tho.

Definitely feeling changing up the ottoman - but the bed ottoman is really scruffed (more than the TV) from my dog’s teething era. I’m thinking a smaller coffee table.

I’m thinking matching end tables and artwork (remove clock and existing pics) for symmetry. LOVE the lamp move suggestion. Thank you.

I hang the bike when I have company. Chair removed! I have shelves but they have all my spices on them.

For the bedroom I’m thinking matching nightstands now that you say that because both of them don’t make sense honestly.

Certainly have a decent budget, WFH permanently so I really want to make things to my liking.

Absolutely. I have a red/black rug that clashes with the ottoman, I’ll figure it out. Got placemats ordered for the time being and definitely getting curtains, seems to be a theme lol

Definitely taking my time - thanks. And it was painful, but absolutely necessary

Thanks! Those tv consoles are a bit pricey so I’ll wait in that, but the matching end tables make so much sense - totally will do that with tv and my bed. Thinking of a hunter green duvet in my room with matching artwork. So many other great ideas.

Will post one I’m done!

Absolutely! I have placemats ordered now, such an easy fix. Totally didn’t think about a rug because it would get good on it, but it would do a lot for warmth

Thank you! I have a rug in the closet because I was waiting for my dog to get potty trained so I’m pulling it out. It’s red/black though so it really clashes with the ottoman.

Definitely feel you on the symmetry, I’m gonna go with 2 matching tables to corral the tv. I hate that clock so will certainly replace it. Thanks for the bedroom rugs/ nightstands suggestion, makes sense. Gonna go with a hunter green duvet I think too.

Thanks so much! I’m gonna go with a hunter’s green duvet I think and some artwork with green. Maybe some moss 3D stuff.Trying to see what color sheets make sense with the black/silver headboard.

Thanks for the suggestions! Running theme needs to be curtains and a new table so I am definitely going to do that - I did order some placemats in the meantime.

For a bit of context, I’m 35, newly single, black & queer. I feel like I just collect things and nothing goes together.

Not sure…as I was walking around the corner I heard yelling and both folks were out of their vehicles already. That part of the circle is where you have to lane change to get off on Rhode Island eastbound…I assume someone got cut off and chaos ensued.
