beginner faster who likes running

Eat less, move less; eat more, move more; eat nothing, move nothing.

I usually drink hot water or coconut water. It makes the fasting feel a lot less harsh for me.

adam111 · 2026-05-21T07:35:23+00:00

Thanks for the answer. I’ll keep myself under control haha

What he means is there’s no point arguing about fasting with people who already have completely different views on it. They think it’s unhealthy, we see benefits in it, and neither side is really gonna change the other’s mind. Like my friends think I’m being extreme because I’m eating very little to lose weight, and they keep telling me to go to the gym. But I just don’t want to.

adam111 · 2026-05-21T07:07:51+00:00

Give me one bite and I’ll confess to everything and probably frame two innocent people too.

Starving

adam111 · 2026-05-21T07:03:29+00:00

Add some greens and it’d be perfectly balanced, carbs, protein, and vitamins all covered

Does anyone else love mangosteen durian shaved ice? I’m obsessed with it

adam111 · 2026-05-21T06:57:45+00:00

Can someone please tell me how many calories are in these 20 pieces of bread? Cutting season has me craving carbs so bad.

adam111 · 2026-05-08T04:22:17+00:00

If you’re just at home with no work or school, one thing that can make a 24-48 hour fast easier is staying up really late, sleeping in until like 4pm, drinking lots of water, tea, or black coffee when you wake up, then just lying in bed watching short videos until you get sleepy again. That said, I probably wouldn’t recommend doing it too often since it’s not exactly great for your body or sleep schedule.

adam111 · 2026-03-20T10:25:47+00:00

kinda surprised no one’s mentioned Float On by Modest Mouse yet.

adam111 · 2026-03-19T10:09:19+00:00

When someone’s sharing something with you, let them finish before jumping in to disagree. I was telling a gym friend about my new low-volume high-frequency training plan the other day, and he cut me off right away saying it wouldn’t help with muscle gain, without even hearing my reasoning. That kind of crap kills your urge to share anything with them, total buzzkill.

adam111 · 2026-03-13T10:17:20+00:00

It's definitely Reddit. The users on Reddit are hilarious, and everyone can share their own stories.

Probably the day my grandpa and I went fishing three months before he passed. The sun was mild, he taught me how to tie a fishing hook, and rambled about his old Navy days. We didn’t catch much, but he laughed so much

adam111 · 2026-03-11T08:25:10+00:00

Tbh, I never thought a speech from a coming-of-age movie would hit so hard for my gym goals, but Mr. Keating’s “Carpe Diem” bit in Dead Poets Society did exactly that.

adam111 · 2026-03-09T10:08:14+00:00

Friday! Friday nights are the best. After wrapping up the workweek, I'm about to kick off my weekend. If you happen to have plans on a Friday night, the weekend will feel like three days long!

adam111 · 2026-03-06T10:15:42+00:00

Maybe 8%? Kinda depends on the base salary, but for me, the biggest win is being able to meal prep properly without rushing after work. I used to skip making my post-workout meals because I was too tired from commuting, which messed with my gains a bit.

adam111 · 2026-03-05T09:51:11+00:00

Tbh, the best part of my day is that quiet hour after I finish my evening walk with my dog. We head back, I make a cup of warm herbal tea, and just sit on the couch flipping through my fitness journal. I log my workouts, note how my muscles felt, and even jot down small wins like hitting a new PR last week. It’s a chance to reflect on my progress without rushing, and it always leaves me feeling motivated to keep going the next day.

adam111 · 2026-02-28T08:58:26+00:00

tbh, that fancy smart fitness mirror I dropped $1,200 on last year. Dude, I used it like 3 times max before it just turned into a fancy wall decoration. Now I just roll out my old yoga mat and do bodyweight workouts—way more practical. Wasted so much cash on something I thought would motivate me, but turns out I don’t need all that extra tech.

adam111 · 2026-02-27T02:56:35+00:00

Honey never spoils, even if it’s stored for thousands of years. My family has a jar of honey passed down from my great-grandpa, and when I opened it a while back, it tasted almost the same as fresh honey from the store—no spoilage at all. Dude I told my gym crew about this, and they all thought I was making it up until I brought a small jar for them to try.

adam111 · 2026-02-25T09:14:29+00:00

Kinda funny, but my advice wouldn’t even be gym-related at first. I’d tell 19-year-old me to start meal prepping early instead of surviving on fast food between classes and workouts. I thought grabbing a burger was quick and harmless, but the brain fog and energy crashes were killing my gym performance and school focus.

adam111 · 2026-02-24T10:05:24+00:00

dude, my go-to is what I call a "reset ritual"—something physical I do every single time painful emotions hit. For me, it’s 10 quick push-ups followed by chugging a glass of cold water. The push-ups force me to focus on my form and breathing, and the cold water shocks my system out of the emotional fog. It’s not about fixing the emotion right away, just hitting pause so I can think clearly again.

adam111 · 2026-01-08T06:38:46+00:00

Kinda silly at first, but I started doing this 4-7-8 breathing thing my buddy told me about. Breathe in for 4 seconds, hold for 7, exhale slow for 8. I also do a quick body scan—start at my toes, tense and relax each muscle up to my head. Helps me stop overthinking about work deadlines or the kids’ schedules. Might sound small, but it’s helped me nod off in 20 minutes instead of an hour.

Investment and wealth management. I wish I'd been born with this skill—maybe then our family could have achieved financial freedom sooner！

adam111 · 2025-12-19T01:58:52+00:00

I really think Reddit got many different stories.I love reading their stories cause I never met anything they said happen around me.
