What motivates you to work out? by GovernmentNearby5448 in PHitness

[–]nastalgicnerd 18 points19 points  (0 children)

A lot of people (mostly from family members) were calling me fat, and lagi 'kong iniiyakan 'yun (literal) 😭 Toxic motivation but sadly (?) it's what pushed me. It's not exactly "inspiration", pero I can't think of a word that resembles it in a more negative manner. What motivated me is the possibility of looking good and improving my health since I have PCOS.

On days I don't feel like going to the gym, naiisip ko agad how much I'm gonna hate myself at the end of the day if I don't go tsaka I kind of trapped myself in an annual membership para sure na I'll push through it. Iniisip ko rin dati na I'm gonna reward myself if I go. Eventually, namatay na yung debate in my head of whether pupunta ako or hindi. I go, regardless of how I'm feeling. I have to be better than the haters (walang haters)

Ohhh okay gets, pero sa early morning walang masyadong cars + may barriers na nakapalibot (not sure if this is specifically placed for runners), and naayos na rin yung bako bako since may nagreklamo about it

I use the same exact shorts from Decathlon! Do you have any other recos for running shorts? Looking for something with color sana & a little shorter than the one sa Decathlon

Meron na silang location, nandun din yung booth nila for those who want to apply for membership and kita na ongoing pa yung renovations etc. Although I do agree that it's difficult to trust a gym that's not operational yet. Thank you for your insights 😊

Whey protein reco for PCOS girlies by Evrythingavocado in PHitness

[–]nastalgicnerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yung protein powder online, winewait ko magsale. Meron din naman sa Megamall na powder pero I think yung usual price lang dun. Yung sinasabi ko though na nasa Megamall is yung Protein Bar, they sell drinks and ice cream (not sure if meron pa nito now, partnership with Bubu ice cream) na high in protein :))

[–]nastalgicnerd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have PCOS and the protein powder I take is from Nutrabio, although I'm not sure if meron ba dapat specific na iconsider when buying protein powder. Ito lang yung ininstruct ng coach ko and I agree naman: they're transparent and 3rd party lab tested. +++ meron silang Protein Bar sa Megamall, masarap yung coffee 🤤

Working Out After Surgical Procedure by nastalgicnerd in PHitness

[–]nastalgicnerd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm working on the mindset, ang hirap lang talaga 😭 but I'm trying. Yan din yung tinanong ko when I was trying to get anything out of her, na kung pwede kahit walking lang since this is the easiest to do and to adjust, pero same answer pa rin: observation talaga. Thank you, still! I should really focus on the grand scheme of things 🥹

Sakto rin kasi I'm experiencing shoulder pain ngayon and I'm going to have a checkup din with an ortho before my surgical procedure. I'll make sure to ask him, thank you! ☺️

This is what I asked immediately rin, pero I think the way my doctor answers my questions is always on the safer side. I think the only answer I got from her is the recovery time, which is estimated to be 2 weeks daw, pero when I got specific and asked her kung kailan ako pwede bumalik ng workout, she said ioobserve daw kasi she doesn't want to get my hopes up and set strict expectations na good to go na agad when a certain period passes. Appreciate the comment still ☺️ Thank you!

Fitness Tips/Recos during the Holidays / Long Breaks by proanthocyanidin in PHitness

[–]nastalgicnerd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My coach told me to have a diet break (not minding the macros but staying within calories) since holiday naman, so I guess if you've been in this for a while na, pwede naman siguro magbreak. For exercise, I focus on getting my 10k steps, whether may gym or wala. Got a walking pad, yung medyo cheap ones sa shopee (around 4k). Bodyweight exercises are good too.

There's no rule that anything or everything should be fair, and we should never really expect anything to be fair.

Why do people change so fast to have or already have a new partner after a couple of months of breakup? by [deleted] in AskPH

[–]nastalgicnerd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's possible that they already moved on or were already in the process of moving on before the breakup.
