2024 New Year's Resolutions

I want to get at least decently in shape; how I used to be in high school.

This is probably going to be a long road so I've already started; I've cut out soda entirely and minimize the number of other sugary drinks I consume.

The next step is to build my stamina up over the next few months to the point where it isn't pathetic anymore.

My diet may need some adjustment, if I don't start seeing results after 2-3 months of stamina building I will consider a serious change in diet as well.

Once I have a good amount of stamina for light physical exercises, then I can decide if I want to start going to the gym or just make do without equipment.

    This is probably one of the biggest things. It's rather shocking how easy it is to consume ludicrous amounts of sugar when it's dissolved in a drink. At least with ice cream you start feeling sick after a while. I remember I used to drink pretty much nothing but fruit juice. Better than other soft drinks, but I decided to stop after I finally correlated them with my stomach pain. I still drink sugary stuff on some occasions, but I've usually had enough after one glass, and the rest of the bottle sits there for weeks until my mum just has to pour it down the sink lol. Water's surprisingly good once you wean yourself off the sweet stuff.

    I think you should easily see results after 2 months regardless of diet (unless you really eat nothing but crap). I was shocked at how quickly my stamina improved after like, 2 or 3 weeks of running most days. Unfortunately, my IBS put an end to it, and I'm back to my sedantry ways.

        COUPLED Construction project management... Get ready to deal with many utter morons on a daily basis lol. My dad's pretty broken both physically and mentally from working construction most of his life.

          this has been the hardest part by far. Thankfully now a regular Gatorade tastes "too sweet" and it's got half the sugar that Pepsi/Mountain Dew do.

          I don't eat as well as I could, and I tend to eat one large meal a day, but the quality is mixed.

              I just want to be mentally healthy enough to start making money. That's all. I wanna keep my new year resolution short and simple so I can actually follow through with it.

                Short resolutions, or rather, broad resolutions are the way to go. I remember watching a video about it a few years ago, by CGP Grey, I think. Basically saying that going for a theme rather than a fixed target tends to be more successful.

                  The frequency of meals isn't really as important as quality, I think. There's probably more to it if you're going full workout mode, but otherwise just go with whatever your body responds best to. I prefer having more smaller meals, rather than one large one, but some people feel better after a fast.

                      malmon how else will i bring about the eternal night?
                      jk uhhh uhh i mean in video games :3 :3

                      i do wanna, like, find some way to not be lonely that would be cool

                          Saikou Ah, Cyberpunk looks cool, not sure if it's really my sorta theme though. Either way, I've sorta been waiting until I get a new GPU before bothering with more recent games. Who knows when that's gonna be with current prices though, and I have loads of other things I need to spend money on currently ^^'7

                          Any games you've got your eye on now?

                              malmon cyberpunk is pretty close to my type of theme especially with mods that make it look more like blade runner + cat ears and thighhighs mods + mod that makes it rain frequently
                              i got metal gear rising: revengeance and the phantom pain on steam but i haven't played them any yet

                              i have been writing and watchimg stuff (movies) instead of gamign basically

                                  Saikou Aah, I like The Phantom Pain. I haven't gotten very far through it though - it can be a pretty big time sink if you try to S every mission ^^'7
