WHAT'S UP STACKERS!
Alrighty guys, I'm going to be quite honest and transparent as possible with this post.
Sometime around November 2017 - Now... when the "Crypto" Hype was full in effect, I kinda let myself go (fitness wise that is). 😟
I even remember sleeping only like 4-5 hours a night and spending most of my time focusing on cryptocurrency markets doing trading and research.
Sooo in other words, I stopped going to the gym to workout and convinced "myself" that I'll just do it later and guess what happened?
It became a habit and I stopped working out completely.
What was worse is that I started to eat like shit also, all the way from pizzas, burgers and fries everyday. In other words I got lazy as Fuck. 🤣
The result: I gained 10 LBS of unwanted fat, Sheshhhh!
I've been working out for almost 20+ years however I'm not one of those gym rats or anything like that. Fitness was something I just did a few times a week just to get my "mind" right. It was just more of a mental thing for me to push my limits every week.
I just got caught up with all the "money" that was being made in the "Crypto" hype and totally forgot about my health.
So there is no more excuses for me, today marks the first day from becoming Shit to Fit. I'm a very motivated person so in other words, I'm going to get it done and lose all this excess flab in about 30 days.
This post is just more of a reminder to myself (in other words motivation) to get off my ass and start getting fit again... however if it motivates a few people that would be a bonus. 🏋🏼♂️
Wish me luck guys, it's time for me once again to "put in the work" and stop making tons of excuses... let's go make it happen.
Keep On STACKIN! 💞

I'm sorry that I got fat

Now go whupp Spiderman and batman's ass!
Great! Now I want to order some Pizza Hut! 😂😅
Well on the PLUS side (no pun intended) most of that 10lbs of extra weight is actually just water weight your body stashed away with all of the excess sugars. You'll be like 7lbs lighter in a week just from diet and light exercise :-D
I am with you bro @stackin. Been lazy as well fixing to start off on Monday. #shit2fit
don't let it be an extra emphasis beside your daily work, follow your daily work routine as you maintain previously.
This happened to many ... lol Best wishes :)
lol... @splendorhub has it happen to you?
Nope. Fitness is a life style :D
😂
Hey now, you suppose to motivate me and say "get your ass back in shape". I need some tuff love. 🤣
all the motivation needed.
Now I’m motivated haha
I need this on my phone!
Hahaha that's called time collapsing. It's the quickest way to become a steemit whale.
This is so relatable though. Glad to know other people spend embarrassing amounts of time learning things to the point that they neglect health. Did you also skip showers occasionally? Add that one to the list for me lol
mmm pizza
You just had to do that haha :)
It sounds like you will have no problem getting back into the swing of things! Just get that momentum rolling and before you know it, you will be back into the routine of exercising everyday!
Looking forward to updates! :)
GET BACK TO IT MY FRIEND. I think we are all in the same boat!
Your right, I need to get rid of my muffin top 😂 🍮 🥧
I hope you succeed. @Stackin
You got me right between the eyes, not just weight gain for me, but I tried to bust out some pushups and situps, and failed miserably. I need to get back in the gym.
It's nice to know that sometimes even @stackin gets fat haha Stackin the pounds!! I'll join you in the fat blasting * thumbs up*
Let's do it haha :)
@stackin Charles way to recognize what is really important to you and taking action............
Time to grind to shine :) lets do it in style :D
I am with you all the way man. Go for it.

Transparent and real. That's refreshing Charles!
10 lbs? Dude, back in September i had 187lbs, now i have 209 lbs... i guess adding 2,75lbs each month was not that bad right? i'm bulking until the end of june (when summer holidays start ill cut 2-4lbs a week) i find cutting weight easy, the hard part is putting on muscle without putting on fat!
What made me gain this weight was college, studying streeses me out and i'm a compulsive eater when i'm stressed out... thanks god i workout 5-6 days a week, all the stuff i eat is being put to good use
I’m in the same boat. Need to get fit too. Best of luck @stackin
Good luck man! I know what it is like.
Used to train 6 days a week for 9 years and then stopped. I still have unwanted weight. However I have regained some of my old strength. Still got the stamina though!
well done.... it not easy in this crypto thing..but i believe in you that you will make it
good luck @stackin
we believe you ;)
but remember this, after 30 days :)
Oh snap, now I’m committed haha
Its time to lose some weight.. i'll do my best \o/
It’s the best time right now when we are having a crypto correction lol
Good luck!! I know you can do it.
💪🏼🙌🏼💯
Thanks for sharing. This is very good informative.
🙄 🤨
I definitely need to exercise more. Going to the gym though bores me to hell. I like hiking or mountain biking. Those tv screens get old after awhile. Good luck with your reconditioning!
Health is wealth buddy! Glad you are motivated to get back to it!
Also if there is a hairdryer in the gym you can make the deodorant stains disappear in like 10 seconds ssssssssssss
They say never skip more than 3 days in a row at the gym , and after 21 days not going becomes a habit . Good luck losing the extra 10 lbs
