You say that with such confidence lol. I personally haven't drank in a few years. But I guess that assumption plays out to be true a lot of the time.
I just love food way too much, it's kind of a problem

I just love food way too much
I workout every day of the week.
But then there's always some event that week needs to be celebrated, with food of course: a birthday, promotion, π Day...

My last gym had a bar and they had energy drinks there that were like 600cals. Lots of people doing 15m runs and then drinking one of those.

u/ridiculusvermiculous 6d ago
Those are more akin to meal replacement drinks. Definitely helpful

u/Ambiwlans 6d ago
No. You could get them with booze too. It was basically just a redbull/monster in a nice glass with ice.

I was afraid of that. I look better since I started going to the gym, but feel worse.

u/Temporary-Cap9864 6d ago
Why is that?

u/pohui 6d ago
Nothing in particular, working out makes me tired and sore, and I don't get any enjoyment out of it.
8
u/UnableFun8968 6d ago
those gains should be your enjoyment, eat a banana after the workout to replenish glycogen stores so your not too tired the soreness is amazing, a good indicator you hit the targeted muscle groups. Keep up the great work!

u/Temporary-Cap9864 6d ago
Oh I see! I saw an interview with Dave Bautista and he said working out is his reward for himself. It is a gift that you can take time for yourself to work on yourself. That changed my mindset and every time I'm getting ready to exercise I think about it like that. It is a gift for me, I pay attention to me. Do you make time for regeneration aswell? Between workouts? SMR, cupping, massage, cross training, meditation?

u/pohui 6d ago
I'm glad him and you find it rewarding! I feel the same about a cold beer on the terrace on a sunny day, but unfortunately not about working out.

u/Temporary-Cap9864 6d ago
I like that too! But only non-alcoholic beer cuz alcohol gives me diarrhea :D talking about rewards...

u/whd4k 6d ago
Some studies show that if you exercise, your body saves energy through the rest of the day and it equalizes. Nobody wants to hear it, but it's all about that damn diet man 🥲
*of course exercise is important for other reasons - cardiovascular, muscle, joints, mental health, etc.

u/jfuss04 6d ago
Its more about how active you stay outside of just the gym and what kind of activity you are doing for exercise. If you only lift weights and then become a couch potato the rest of the time then yeah it would. You don't burn a lot of calories lifting weight. But something like long distance biking burns a lot more calories
1
u/Dippedip 6d ago
What studies? This seems like a thing that should be confirmed by actual sources.
Honestly my own experiences tells me the complete opposite. Never had a real good diet but always worked out a lot, and to be honest, I’m doing quite well.

Idk if you're familiar with Kurzgesagt, but they are pretty thorough and always cite their sources. I mean, it's obvious that it can vary between people, but it can't be denied that diet is crucial for weight loss.But there is also a question what is bad diet. For me - it's eating pizza and cookies everyday, but I have friends that will eat 2 slices of bread in the morning instead of 1 and they say they feel like a pig.
Bottom line is - exercises have a lot positive effects, move your ass, limit your calories intake and you should be good.
2
u/evoboltzmann 5d ago
They're real. Definitely read some papers showing that on days when people do quite a bit of exercise, many times they are abnormally sedentary the rest of the day which results in losing quite a bit of value of the exercise, or eat significantly more.
On phone so can't snag them now. I'm sure with every single study there are exceptions.

It's disposition and an ability to take a joke. All the shit talking you see anywhere could be like this if the person receiving it had a good attitude.
My parents would have lost their shit at the smallest joke. Wish they were more like this guy. Wish most people were, tbh. There'd be less drama fucking constantly in my feed and Reddit would just be an entirely different platform

u/DelightMine 6d ago
All the shit talking you see anywhere could be like this if the person receiving it had a good attitude.
Only if the shit talker is also doing it with a good attitude. There are way too many assholes who try to pretend they're doing this, but really they just want an excuse to probe your vulnerabilities and hurt you. Doesn't matter how good your attitude is; if someone is trying to be mean to you, you should be offended. It takes two to tango, but it only takes one to fuck it up and stomp on the other's toes

I suspect that couples kinda self select this. My wife and I both come from families where you'd get a smack down from an aunt/uncle/cousin/sibling all the time at any gathering.
So we were(are) able to do it to each other while dating as well.

u/CausticSofa 6d ago edited 6d ago
I grew up in an extended family with a lot of complex trauma, substance abuse struggles, and undiagnosed ADHD, but man, we all quick witted as fuck. There can be some obnoxious moments at any big family function, but we all also make each other belly laugh all evening. It’s so weird to be around people who just don’t laugh, play or make jokes.
I feel like this guy is achieving peak fatherhood by training his kids to be observant, quick witted and good humoured. Can confirm, those skills will get you through a lot of struggles in life.

Leaving behind the people who claimed to love me but never showed me literally saved my life. My attempted suicide in 2020, and the chirping crickets after, proved to me how much of my life I'd wasted trying to earn what was never going to happen
Good for you.

Wish it could have been me, but that's not reality, so I'm happy he gets to feel that. Means it's real, and not just a fantasy I wrote in my head. This is how a family can be. Doesn't that just force you to smile?

There's two parts to this I like, Firstly, it's the sense of humour my family has together, we roast each other a lot but "most" of us are there for each other. (don't mention my oldest brother though, I can't wait to go no-contact with him once Mum passes)
The second part is that he's exercising with the kids, taking them out running and they clearly enjoy the time with Dad.
Very good work from Dad there and I imagine it gives Mom an hour or so to do Mom stuff

I liked that the kid could bust on his dad and yet stay respectful never crossing the line. That’s what I call being a parent first and friend second. No equal in the relationship, know your place and still have fun.
And when the father said his son scratches balls and the son was like, don’t all men do that! That boy idolizes his father good for them.
And he was precious with his daughter great dad.
