Please tell me again how much you hate the resolutionist fags :^)
>>39885188
How exactly do you eat more free food without fucking up your diet? My parents kept giving me food over the holiday and it's absolutely terrible. I'm torn between saving tons of cash or staying on track.
>>39887288
I can tell you're doing what I do because the macros are absolutely shit.
It's pretty much carbs.
Make the sacrifice. You won't lose gains eating less protein. Honestly.
I do a protein supplement and basically buy bulk tuna, chicken, and eggs to make it work.
I'm hitting about .5g of protein per LB of bodyweight and have excellent lifts.
I feel like I could actually eat less protein and still be fine.

fitness:
dont die
money:
who cares
social:
isolation from humans
I really want to get fit but I don't know where to start and I'm a poor college student with no chance of buying equipment. I try to follow this chart but my english is bad and I can't understand it.
>>39885188
solid plans, ill grab some of those for myself
>>39888505
Kek!
I felt those were pretty specific to me.
Which of those are parallel for you?
>>39888641
nothing specific, just setting up goals i wouldnt have considered as goals (doing laundry on a regular basis, not just when needed. reading more. saving a few bucks here and there. abusing free stuff, etc)
just solid inspiration to set up own plan
>>39888803
Man, watch this video by Samuel.
https://youtu.be/za8SMmW2tcA
He talks about outsourcing and taking advantage of stuff (lightly. The rest is good too)
I swear, I fast before meals with family so that I can eat more. As much as I can.
I workout at home and do chores between sets too.
Get a notepad and write your goals.
Next, break those down into monthly benchmarks.
Next, figure how you'll get those. What programming for your routine or changes in your personal life will you make?
The last step is to get a cheap notebook and write your progress in it every day.
I started out just recording reps, sets, and weight lifted.
I got to where when doing supplementary work I would record if I was doing a movement isometrically, concentrically, or eccentrically. I'd make notes on how my form was, and even on other exercises if I was pausing beteeen reps (how long) and break time between sets.
Everything that you can record can be managed, and that's one more way you can make progress on an exercise or lift.
Learning discipline and metric control with lifting will bleed into real life as well.
Take the plunge.
Same principle with budgeting.
>>39884107
Going to try and move out of my parents' house this year
>>39884107
lmao anyone else notice that people start more conversations with you then normal? Is it a new year resolution thing?
>>39888951
Don't. You. Fucking. Dare.
There is shame in not growing yourself, but I'm telling you that living at home is a huge advantage.
I'm going to guess that you feel like a burden.
>You don't hang with family
>Don't chat with them
>Just stay in room and play vidya
Moving out fixes the problem of your guilt by removing the opportunity to hang with them.
Instead, if you hang with them more you won't seem like a mooch. The price of free rent is the company of their son. A price they will definitely like.
Hang with them more and use this great opportunity to save what money you'd be spending on rent and utilities. Free fucking food too, my nigger.
Hell, they may even start washing laundry and shit for you.
I'm married and moved out now, but I absolutely ate up the freebies. They're letting you live there so that you can take care of yourself better,
>Unless your family is toxic and you need to move out
In which case, yeah.
>>39888951
>Going to try and move out of my parents' house this year
Good shit anon.
>>39889020
Living with your parents sucks.
I regret not moving out at 18-19.
>>39884107
max of 2 hours of vidya a week
lost my laptop because issues, went into uber try hard mode and got a high paying job, slayed some bitches and got a hot gf, had enough money to build a beast pc
started playing 8 hours a day
gotta stop myself before it gets too bad. Doing well so far
>>39889368
Depends on the rules.
Honestly, I'll live under some rules if it means a lot of money saved on rent and food. My pride and paychecks were not so great
all you faggots are gonna quit mid way through.
if you were serious about change you would have started. not waited for some arbitrary date
30 minutes of cardio per day is excessive
>>39884434
>floss every day
hey faggot flossing does nothing for your oral hygiene, google it.

I like how you make helping your friend a focus. I had a friend like that and I ignored him, now I wish I had a positive force in my life like that again. I fucked up
>>39891212
I'm struggling to regard the lost as even human, but I know he once walked the path.
When I was a weaker man he showed me compassion. Kept me from killing myself during dark times (he will never know). He taught me how to talk to my brother so that he wouldn't kill himself when things got hard...(he will never know).
I owe him two life debts.
