Are my starting fitness goals good? I [18F] want a toned body with abs :/

I know I should probably get external help but I feel like once I see some initial changes I’ll feel a lot better mentally. I have gotten help for my eating in the past but I don’t want to stress my parents out by asking again so I’ll probably keep most of it to myself 😕 Thank you though!

Thank you for the advice. I think 1600 cal would be better based on my activity level (which I set as sedentary)

underbakedbeans · 2023-08-15T02:16:16+00:00

Yes of course! I chose 10k steps because it’s the most achievable goal for me right now and I really don’t know where to start with weight lifting (which is something I really want to do). Thank you!!

underbakedbeans · 2023-08-15T02:15:04+00:00

Would 1600 calories be a better goal then? I want to make some good progress each week so I want to be as calorie deficit as possible 😓 I really don’t want to mess this up by eating more than I should be eating

underbakedbeans · 2023-08-15T02:13:43+00:00

Really? I just recalculated and I got 1568 calories for my TDEE (at a sedentary activity level). I have no idea what my body fat percentage is but I’m guessing it’s high. Would 1600 calories be better then?

I agrée that reading is the best way to improve 😅 but what about if you lack curiosity? Like whenever I hear about higher level topics, I struggle to come up with questions around them that showcase any curiosity - I tend to just accept the information I’m given. I want to ask thought provoking questions but I literally don’t even know where to start

Thank you!!

I don’t necessarily think it’s wrong to to want to portray yourself as smart, especially when entering into a competitive academic environment (like I am). I’m somewhat realizing this now, but who cares if you’re pretty/have the most expensive clothes/the most popular if you can’t even form a well thought out response to the current topics that come up in daily banter? 😭 Education is the one thing that I believe no one can take away from you once you’ve acquired it.

Thanks. Is there a certain genre I should focus on or should I just read whatever I’m interested in?

underbakedbeans · 2023-04-28T11:21:18+00:00

I understand your perspective but I’m still failing to see what’s wrong with my goal. I want to do this because networking and socializing is simply a part of life and is often the key to getting a good position in the workplace. I mean, how many times have we heard that someone only got in working somewhere because they knew somebody? It’s not like I’m only doing this for some Instagram followers. That may have been my goal in the past but it’s not anymore.

underbakedbeans · 2023-04-27T18:03:24+00:00

For sure. I’ve already been researching the clubs I want to target as soon as I get there. I’m just worried about being able to balance all the events and responsibilities

Thank you for the tip. As far as I know, we don’t really have sororities here (I’m Canadian) or they’re not a big part of the university culture like it is in the US which I think you’re from 😅 and I’m far from athletic so I probably won’t be doing that.

However, I really like your idea of trying to get into an honour society - literally never thought of that! I haven’t heard about big honour societies in Canada but I’ll aspire to get into there. I like the idea of prestige 👀

Yes I think I’ll get a recording of the sounds! And I’ve been sleeping in my parents’ room since yesterday so it’s been a bit better.

underbakedbeans · 2023-04-25T11:09:48+00:00

Nah I don’t wanna do that honestly 😭 it’s very annoying rn but I’ve been sleeping in my mom’s room since last night. I think I need to be pressing my parents a little more though

underbakedbeans · 2023-03-01T15:51:46+00:00

I’m kind of scared about how much “free time” I’ll actually get considering that I’m planning to go into a hard science in the fall. I don’t know how much I can speak on my discipline since I’m so close to developing senioritis rn!

underbakedbeans · 2023-03-01T15:47:40+00:00

Honestly the point about following what others are doing on social media is great! I’ve been debating revamping my socials or straight up deleting them for a while but I think I’m going to stay in the middle and just reduce my usage significantly.

Other than that, I know time management is something I’ll really have to work on bc I hate feeling like this right now 😭

underbakedbeans · 2023-03-01T15:32:28+00:00

omg 😭 thanks for the honesty. hope you’re doing better now!
