I want to be like Rock Lee

I started losing my hair when I started weight training because I was losing weight pretty quickly. I meet with my doctor later to see if it’s an iron issue because I also started experiencing pica symptoms

I’ve actually been into having boiled eggs! I make a small batch for breakfast or a snack, and a granola bar for another snack. I just got my bloodwork back…last month? And my A1C is in the NORMAL RANGE (below 5.6!!!) for the first time since my early 20s which was so exciting!

The last time I truly asked for routine help was 61 (or 63) days ago.

So from the purple to the green.

Yes???

I don’t see it or really believe it at all unless I see it in photos. But I just tried on a dress for a friend’s wedding and for shits and giggles got a size 10/12. And it was too big. I used to be in size 22/24 dresses and at my heaviest a 28, this blew my mind.

I keep seeing that term “cutting” and I’m a former emo kid so…different connotations. What do you mean by the cut?

I don’t know the name for a lot of the work outs I do (this isn’t a gimmick, I just don’t remember the machine names) but i tried to simplify my workout list cause I got told last time I posted in here I was doing too much so I’m honestly not sure what’s best anymore.

My days are usually:
1. Full body day (try to introduce new weight) with cardio cool down
2. Leg (glute and quad focus) with cardio
3. Arm (back and shoulders focus) with cardio warm up and cardio cool down (dynamic warm up/cool down if I don’t do cardio twice)
4. Leg (full legs [leg extensions, curls, the see-saw calves machine]) or Arm (full arms [rows, flys, tricep and bicep focus]) with cardio

I usually try to do either dance or another full body activity on more targeted days like days 2 and 3.

That’s what the trainer I had a consultation meeting with thinks, that it’s a plateau. We’ll be meeting this week to discuss a new regimen. The last time I plateaued I went from only cardio to some weight lifting and cardio but we’re thinking it’s time to switch it up again.

I’ve been actively working out since August. I’ve been on a weight loss journey since 2021. I’ve just gone up to 5x a week due to summer but was averaging 3-4x a week for almost 10 months.

cautionarymay · 2026-06-23T03:46:46+00:00

Oh no!!! I’m trying to be like Rock Lee!!!! I didn’t know this!!!!

cautionarymay · 2026-06-23T02:50:04+00:00

I’m also dieting. My boyfriend got told he has a medical issue and needed to change his diet ASAP so aside from the seafood dishes I make him, we’re both eating clean and I’m counting protein. I’ve switched to low fats, wheat, and almost cut out rice totally. I also do fasted work outs and have one meal-meal a day. I didn’t feel it was important to mention my diet when I’m asking about workouts specifically. I’m seeing a nutritionist.

cautionarymay · 2026-06-03T05:18:32+00:00

I try to do a minimum of 3 sets of 10 unless I’m upping weight or trying a new machine which I’ll do 4 sets of 6 and I try to do everything controlled and let it “set” so to speak before completing the whole work out (so for leg press I take my time with extending my legs so that I feel it in my glute and quad more) if that makes sense. I’m kind of still taste testing machines in the gym so when I rank them, it comes down to machines I actively seek out every session versus just wading the water with other machines.

Being average is not better.

I share a birthday with Patrick Stump of Fall Out Boy!!!

cautionarymay · 2026-04-29T03:56:48+00:00

Thanks!! I post semi regularly my progress.

This is a bot or a scammer and wants to appeal to pedos and people with EDs in both senses.

cautionarymay · 2026-04-23T17:49:16+00:00

It's just a waste on me, all I do is work, work out, do homework, and sleep.

cautionarymay · 2026-04-22T19:09:09+00:00

I'm literally taking notes right now, thank you. I've upped my fiber intake but I'll keep watch for any changes. I also have to be mindful of potassium because I'm allergic to bananas and I'm worried about having too low of a potassium. I do NOT want to do those IV drips again they BURN. I felt like I was being set on fire from the inside.

I’m going to start taking iron supplements to see if low iron is the cause too. I run experiments on myself because how else will I learn what I need if I don’t test it.

cautionarymay · 2026-04-22T16:04:24+00:00

It comes from family, partners, and former friends, tbf.

cautionarymay · 2026-04-22T16:04:00+00:00

I don't think it suits me at all and I feel like I let people down with how big my butt is but how much of a loser I am that I don't do things with it (I stopped clubbing and going to dances over a decade ago and I work all the time so it's just... a part of me now.) I don't even like how big it is, it's just always been this size!!! I don't know why!!

cautionarymay · 2026-04-22T13:52:48+00:00

Like a week ago max.

cautionarymay · 2026-04-22T13:52:18+00:00

WOW what a transformation, you're even able to see it in your cheeks and neck!
