How Do You Maintain A Healthy Weight?

Have fun!
There are yoga classes on a few lunch times at my work. I’ve occasionally thought of going but a quick look at some of the weird and wonderful positions they get themselves into and I decided I am totally not bendy enough for that! :joy:

It’s tiring because I go from one job being overnight right into the next job in the morning so when I get home I have to sleep otherwise I have no energy and will struggle to stay awake the next night at work.
But it’s more exhausting due to the limited amount of sleep, I try to catch up on that on the weekends, provided my wife and son don’t want to do anything

for me tracking calories is very important. I use an app called myfitnesspal and make sure Imm eating enough. In my case, I lose weight when I dont eat enough. so I need to lift heavy and eat a lot to maintain a nice figure. Recently however, I gotta cut back on the calories because my metabolism is starting to slow down

How many meals a day do you eat? I understand eating every 2-3 hours helps to keep the metabolism up

Yup, pulled a muscle last Wensday and then I got a cold.so yup definitely feeling it and yes I need to take it easy.

#42

How did you pull it, which exercise?

#43

I pulled my rib muscle while at work. I was over reaching and I guess hyper extended my muscles and the tissue surrounding my ribs swelled. Which btw makes it extremely hard to breathe when your muscles start to spasm. But I’m nursing it back to health and taking things easy at work

You ever thought of using therapy message ball. I used a foam roller and balls to work out my soreness. It feel painful but yet great at the same time😂

Yup was just told to use that or get a tennis ball and roll that around my back and ribs.

If I’m working, then only 1 real meal for dinner. Maybe a granola bar and some eggs for breakfast

But that’s not issue, the issue is just me not being a kid anymore haha

nope, just black coffee before my workout. And maybe some protein after a workout. nothing else though…

Calorie-wise, one of the biggest ways to lower unnessecary intake is to watch what we drink. I pretty much limit myself to a lot of water, black coffee, and some milk. I try not to drink any other drinks because they tend to be mostly sugar, and even if they’re not…it’s a lot easier to accidentally drink too many calories than it is to actually eat them in food.

so pretty much, if you can, try to stick to water, black coffee and tea if you can. Even just limiting out other drinks can save you a bunch of calories per day, and over time that adds up

I stopped drinking sugary drinks and started drinking mostly water and I was amazed at just how much more energy I had. Couldn’t believe it made that much of a difference, not to mention the excellent benefits of losing 15 pounds just from changing what I drink.
