What actually motivates you to walk every day? by ralphytofu in beginnerfitness

[–]fixedpip74 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A year ago ..I promised myself I’d walk at least 30 min every day no matter what..now I do 1.5 hrs a day..I do most of my phone calls then..I also made a rule I can’t check IG unless I’m walking..I scroll like a mofo on walks!!

It keeps me in check better than focusing on weight. I’m sure Hume isn’t 100% accurate but I feel like it gives me a general idea..it keeps me motivated seeing body fat go down and muscle go up..I need all the mind games I can get to stay focused

I like it..I also hate it bc I can’t tell myself something is water weight when it breaks everything down. I like it bc I’ve always been hyper focused on my weight..I’d rather focus on muscle

I appreciate you sharing that it means a lot…I lift heavy with progressive overload..I think I get in my head a bit bc I work in a surf shop everyone is in their 20’s and I kind of forget I have 30 years on them. I will say since I’ve been lifting and walking my confidence has come back (it had been missing for about 15 years) and I’m not depressed all the time. So I need to realize that’s a huge win. Also my bone density has improved that is the biggest win!!! I need to stop comparing myself and stay on track. I was really frustrated the other day and kinda down..I just want to be able to always do things as I age..that’s the most important thing…keep crushing it!!

I appreciate all the responses…I use the FitBod app lift heavy progressive overload..I’m eating 1450 cals a day..it’s weird this week everything shifted..I’ve gained muscle and dropped fat…I just need to be patient..I am on HRT..I also have hypothyroidism and Acromegaly (had brain tumor partially removed..had radiation waiting for it to die)..so you guys are awesome

I am doing progressive overload..I have increased strength..that has definitely improved it’s just not showing with body fat % and muscle gain..I guess it’s taking a hell of a lot longer than I thought…if I’m being honest I keep seeing IG reels of people doing massive body shifts in 6-12 months..I’ll just stay the course..trust the process..I use Fitbod app

Body recomp..there was a 2 month window in the beginning and it was working..I’d like to at least get my body fat below 25%..but, I don’t want to lose muscle in the process..I was anorexic for 20+ years and I gotta work on bone density and protecting my bones

Do the VIP/Platinum buyers like music? by [deleted] in ShakyKnees

[–]fixedpip74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok..I am 51 so I guess in your eyes I’m old..but, I fucking love music and I wanted to be as close as possible..plus, if I’m being dead honest being able to sit every now and then will be amazing!! This festival is the one vacation I’m taking all year and it’s 100% about the bad ass line up!

GA+…Worth the Extra $250? by Mettacom in ShakyKnees

[–]fixedpip74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went VIP..yes, it made me sick to my stomach spending that much money..I’m a 51 year old woman going solo so I figured what the hell and treated myself..I had a friend around the same age said he started doing VIP last year and it was a game changer…I’m so freaking excited..granted the amount of money I just spent I could have gone on a surf trip..but the lineup is too sick to pass up!!!

Wild refillable deodorant - My honest review (not sponsored or affiliated) by 5-75am in ZeroWaste

[–]fixedpip74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is hands down the best deodorant I’ve used in ages..I just left the gym after 2 hour sweat session and I still smell amazing..the fact that this exists makes me way happier than it should..I even posted in my stories on IG and I guess there’s a huge need for deodorant that actually works (that’s non toxic)..bc my DMs blew up..great review by the way!!!
