frustrated at how everything when it comes to home improvements/renovation is a domino effect. I'd like to just be able to do some work on one thing, without having to rebuild the entire house, but it never works out that way.
We already went through this with our condo...now going through it with our new house.
We have lathe and plaster walls, and they were cracked, stained, and dirty from the previous owner. So we hired a good painting contractor to come in and re-plaster the walls downstairs (downstairs was our budget) but then halfway through, of course we're like...well we can't do just downstairs and have upstairs be shitty-- so then we change ordered and added upstairs...we then realized to do it right--re-plaster and paint, we would need to pull the old baseboard trim and put in new trim, and we didn't want to install new trim on the old floors (crappy carpet, vinyl, and pergo)-- because we wanted to eventually change out the floors, so then halfway through re-plastering the house we realized we were going to have to pull up the old floors and re-do the floors before we could continue with the plaster and paint job. Pulling up the pergo revealed asbestos vinyl, and underneath that a horrible tar-like substance...9 weeks of scraping later, our hardwood floor guy refinished the original hardwoods-- great-- now we can plaster and paint. But wait, I don't want to install the old crappy light fixtures on top of the new paint...time to pick out new light fixtures. And..we cant have a newly painted house and gross old kitchen cabinets-- time to re-paint the cabinets.
Ok...now...we just started the exterior of the house. wanted to replace the roof....our guy starts tearing off the roof when he says...well...if youre going to repaint the house you should repaint before I put on the new fascia. Oh...good point we say. Ok...so now we must prep/prime/paint the house. But wait...we don't want to paint the old window trim, it was installed wrong and isn't embedding into the siding, so change order! lets take out all the existing window trim, cut out the siding to fit new window trim and install all new window trim...

Hot August Nights is going on right now, and it's my favorite thing in Reno. (It's a vintage car Fest) anyways, I brought a guy to a show and I think I scared him away by knowing more about cars than him. Oops.

sounds like a pussy.
I've never had a guy think that female car knowledge is a bad thing.
My brother's sister-in-law needed a decent job and we had an opening at the office so I put her in touch with the head guy that she would be working with. The interview went well and he thought she'd be perfect here. Yesterday the background check and whatnot came back and all was good. He called her 4 times and left messages saying he wants her in the office as soon as possible. He has yet to hear back from her. Fucking unacceptable in my opinion. I just dont get people at all. Decent pay, tons of benefits, great hours, weekends off, etc. Fucking lazy fucks.
Weight loss starts today.
I'm tired of feeling like complete shit 90% of the time. I bet that's a contributing reason to why my back got fucked up too.
today is the day folks.
I would like to thank free_noah on instagram aka Noah Curry for inspiring me and making me believe that I can do it.
I'm actually serious this time. I'm going to do it. I'm actually excited.

Start eating a lot healthier and a lot less until i can actually exercise. (cardio) Right now I'm only able to walk and fast walk pretty much because I'm still recovering from surgery. I'm still not able to lift over 5 lbs until who knows how long.

You can do it bro. Started my new routine last week and i can already feel myself feeling better. Weighed myself last week and i was at 234. A little more than what i was hoping to see but i was worried i was up around 250 again. So i'm happy for that.
Eating healthy alone will shred weight. Even if you can't get as active because of the surgery. I went from 240 to 229 from january to march by just eating healthy.

If you can get into road or XC mountain biking, do it. I've been riding really hard this year trying to get into a racing condition, and none of my clothes properly fit anymore, I'm very lean. If you really work at it on the bike you'll be in great shape; you will have a lot of fun to.

Good luck man! I lost 65lbs last year. Mainly eating right and hiking. Find an activity you like so you do not dread it! I would recommend getting into hiking or road biking but I don't know if your injury can handle that. I also had kale shakes for lunch almost everyday. I recommend that as well, but one step at a time. Lots of people fail when they overwhelm themselves. You don't have to change everything all at once - baby steps.

Talk to your dr and physical therapist about cycling. After being diagnosed with my herniated disc, I could barely walk, bend over, even roll over in bed without igniting my sciatic nerve with the pain you also know too well.
For some reason, I could ride a bike with no pain whatsoever, and could loosen up my leg enough to see gains in range of movement, overall flexibility and general well being of the injured leg/back area. Months before I was hiking or even running, let alone jogging again, I was mountain biking at nearly 85% of what I was doing before the injury. The season after my injury, I was only skiing at 45-50%, but was constantly mountain biking throughout the winter to keep active. My physical therapist encouraged me to keep cycling as long as I wasn't feeling any pain or discomfort.
Worth a shot in your case as cycling is a great way to get your cardio in and keeping your injured side flexible and moving. It helps that it's pretty low impact as well. To enhance my recovery, I ended up ordering a spin bike to be able to ride whenever I wanted. Pop in a ski movie, and kick my own ass while focusing on getting my back ready for the upcoming ski season.
I would love to get into road biking amd Dh but I just dont have the money for that.
Im probably going to start getting into hiking though.
Also I tried last summer too and failed.. its mostly my fault but its hard when your parents keep everything normal around the house after the first week.

Hell yeah man. Go for it!
Was at about 115kg at the beginning of this year, now I'm at like 90-95 (at like 1,96m). Best feeling ever! Just watch what you eat and try to get as much exercise as possible, as some of the other guys said, cycling is a great way to start. Been starting that in late spring and now I ride my bike to work every day (25km) and it feels good every day. The feeling after working out or sports is just awesome.
Also have some back problems due to some nasty falls while skiing, but its starting to get better. Work those abs a lot, it will help you straighten out and secure your back!
You can do it man!

One of my best friends decided to get fit a few years ago. He started out at 305 and made it all the way down to 220 or so (He's around 6'3" or so) just by cutting out bullshit sugary drinks and food, and literally just waking and jogging every day.
He says he can't even describe how much better he feels, both physically and mentally.

In the end, it all comes down to power of will. If you really want it, you can do it.
I stopped eating sweets and chips etc. completely for a while and now I really don't need it any more. That stuff kinda just lost its apeal. I mean I will eat stuff liek that every now and then, but in no way as much as before, because I know what it does to me and I just don't think the short pleasure of eating those things is worth it in the long shot anymore.
another thing I would so is only weigh youreself like once a week. Pick a timing and weigh youreself every week at that point. You will see the effects way better if you do it that way instead of weighing youreself every day. I found that that kinda helps strenghten your mentality, if that makes any sense!

yeah you're fucked. you gotta get your parents support. ask your mom/dad to support you by committing to eating healthy along with you. ask them to stock the cabinets and fridge with only healthy food, and not to cook tempting dinners that are bad for you. the odds of sticking to a healthy eating program when you live in the same house as people who don't give a fuck and eat whatever they want is extremely low.

It definitely makes it hard but it's doable. When I lost all of that weight my parents bought and cooked the same meals. My mom is always watching what she eats, but she eats a lot of weight watchers shit that's filled with corn starch and fillers. Always white bread around and not the top choice for granola. I just bought my own shit and if she ever asked what I wanted from the supermarket I told her then. My pops always with the comments about why aren't I eating bread or have more have more... He wasn't trying to be mean, just how he is. So, ya just gotta have will power. Plus, once ya drop a bunch of weight and get on a workout plan you can cheat and feel like a boss about it.
