Are you Planning or Are you Already Doing An Exercise and Diet Program before Christmas?

[Paris13]

***A Digital Scale is the Best Scale for Accuracy!!! xxoo

[Sonorous]

I always plan to lift heavy & eat clean. But ofc my body is pathetic so rn I'm trying to let my tendons & especially ligaments recover from previous volume. I prefer to train very frequently. Every day if I can. Hard too. Ideally failure. But my body can't keep up with my will/preference. So I have to have weeks where I reduce the volume & intensity so that I don't injure myself.

[Joshydavid25]

Damn, your testosterone output hasn't even peaked yet..

[Joshydavid25]

NVM, they peak at around 18-19.. Lmao..

[Sonorous]

@Joshydavid25 I'm not sure what my testosterone levels are but it would be good to know maybe. But I think this may be more unrelated to that. I don't have an issue with sex drive, energy levels, muscle recovery in general, etc. It's just that I tend to go really hard when I train too early on. I prefer to do strength & hypertrophic training everyday to failure. So my muscles can recover but I'm thinking my tendons & ligaments may take longer if I'm adding too much volume without letting them recover like how I should. Especially since I do full range of motion just as a preference.

[Joshydavid25]

I feel that.. You probably have good T levels then, but checking definitely helps.. You're probably getting stronger faster than your joints can catch up..

[Joshydavid25]

I'm not sure what mine are either TBH..

[Sonorous]

Yeah that's it. Sucks because I love going hard too!

And tbh mine probably aren't anything noteworthy 🤣 like I have a lot of the good signs but not in a significant way. I probably barely have the passable amount to be attractive to women

[Joshydavid25]

I watched the video.. It was great.. I also have a lot of good signs.. I think my test levels are probably above average based on the tier list..

[Sonorous]

@Joshydavid25 I really wish I could confidently say that! 🤣 But yeah I definitely recommend that channel though. That dude is super smart & knows his stuff!

[Joshydavid25]

Hahaha.. Alright based on the tier list, what some good signs you show?

[Sonorous]

@Joshydavid25 Nothing on the extreme end/significantly noteworthy, but of the two top categories I do have bodyhair, facial hair, dense bones, normal grip strength, the potential for big traps if I really wanted them, potential for big muscles if I trained for size, I also have the potential for great speed since I have long legs & it's not hard for me to put muscle on my legs. Not sure about other things just from lack of genetics or experience with them. I'd be surprised if mine was low since my sex drive is always so high. I've never dealt with ed either.

[Joshydavid25]

Aw nice.. Seems like you might have above average genetics as well..

[Sonorous]

@Joshydavid25 maybe Tbh 🤔 but barely 🤣

[Joshydavid25]

I feel that one.. Lmao.. I don't know if my testosterone is high now, but at least growing up based on what he said, I had a lot of free testosterone flowing through me..

[Sonorous]

@Joshydavid25 I've got a feeling I didn't. I had a looot of bad habits in my teenage years. And even before them tbh. I remember being like 10 years old and asking my parents why I had a lump in y chest. Gyno 💀 so yeah my hormones were out of whack even at a young age

[Joshydavid25]

Damn, yeah that Gyno sucks.. But it seems as though the test in you pushed through.. 😂..

[Sonorous]

@Joshydavid25 thank the heavens. I really wish I had a smart father figure like the alpha 3d guy when I was developing. I'd probably have better markers all around in terms of looks, athleticism, health, etc.

[Joshydavid25]

😂😂.. I feel that.. Gives me an idea of how I wanna raise my son's if I have any..

[Sonorous]

I'm tryna avoid having kids 🤣 they're wayy too much stress for me. I'd just end up putting them up for adoption or some shit

[Sonorous]

or boarding school if I money-maxx by then

[Joshydavid25]

😂😂😂.. Nah I feel that one.. Kids definitely ain't for everyone.. I can imagine it wouldn't be easy either with all that screaming and crying and your hearing condition..

[Sonorous]

@Joshydavid25 yeah no exactly 🤣 Used to I could tolerate the sound but Im' pretty sure being around kids killed some cells in my ears. I could always adopt one day though. Like adopt a mute

[Joshydavid25]

Adopt a mute.. Lmao.. 😂.. Yeah that would work..

[Sonorous]

🤣🤣🤣 That's the only way I'd wanna be a father

[Paris13]

Be Careful, dear. xx

[Sonorous]

@Paris13 Thanks & don't worry 🤣 now I train in smarter ways. I always warmup & I never force myself to do anything that feel weird. If I get the feeling that my body can't handle an exercise, I'll stop & do another type that feels safer.

[TonyMetal___86]

Diet DIET miss paris, before Christmas? Hell no, i'm enlarging my tummy for the delicious Christmas meals and sweets haha

[Paris13]

@TonyMetal___86 I Shall Be Thinking of You Being Ten Pounds Lighter But Cheating on Christmas. Happy Holidays, Sweet man. xxoo

[TonyMetal___86]

Thanks sweet lady, you too be happy on Christmas 😊

[Altheavas]

I already have one. I just eat everything, but I’m not a fan of sweet and dairy, I don’t eat too much salt. However, I like spicy food in moderation here and there. I drink water and wine, but I don’t drink juice.
I exercise, but I’m not consistent with it, and if I stayed consistent, I would have a well defined 8 packs lol.

[Paris13]

lol!!! Thumbs Up, Lovely!!! xx

[Cynicaldreamer]

Been working out for years. But I finally bit the bullet and hired a personal person about 7 weeks ago? Because I wasn't happy with my progress, or lack of rather, and want to lose the rest of my weight-

So far, so good! Plan on keeping it up after the holidays as well.

[Paris13]

@Cynicaldreamer Sooo Proud of You on Here and With your Weight Routine. Hugggggs and Happy Holidays, girl!!! xxoo

[lightbulb27]

I was before Thanksgiving.


Breakfsst is chocolate followed by pie
Lunch… strictly chocolate 🎂 and a little peanut buttrr.


Dinner is a few chcolate truffles… my wife said no more than 3. And water.


😂 jokimg… im better than that i swear

[Paris13]

lol LOve the Menu. xx

[ArrowheadSW]

I have been exercising regularly for over 20 years. I started cutting calories a month ago because I want to drop about 5 pounds.

[Paris13]

My Master!!! xx

[collie22]

Everything has carbs, what are you cutting?

[OlderAndWiser]

I am in a maintenance low carb diet because i have a strong family history of diabetes.

[Paris13]

Sexy man!!! xx

[AviatorTom]

Nope, but after the holidays, I will watch my weight.

[Paris13]

Great!!! Will Join You as I Would Have Cheated. lolxx

[Avicenna]

I’ve been on one for years. I’m actually trying to gain some muscle now.

[Paris13]

Lovely, Master. xx

[Likes2drive]

I don’t have to make any changes, my job is quite physical and I don’t eat bad , I don’t smoke and hardly drink so I’m good

[Paris13]

Sexy Big Man!!! xx

[Likes2drive]

Thanks, it’s mostly muscle, job keeps me in shape

[exitseven]

I do a diet and exercise program all year round.

[Paris13]

LOve That!!! xx

[NathanDavis]

no diets needed for me...

as long as I remain active as I usually am anyway... I just might pack more muscle weight by January... lol

[Massageman]

portion control- grrrrrr

[mobiusforniner]

Exercise and dieting isn’t some kind of program. To see it as a program is to be short sighted. Healthy exercise and dieting must be a habit in order to be sustainable. In that sense I’m already on a “program” and have been for years. Check my weight daily, vary my diet options, and include at least 30min of physical activity a day. It’s worked ok and I don’t even think about it

[Paris13]

Great!!! xx

[love_conquers_lust]

I’m still trying to pace through Thanksgiving leftovers before they go bad. I haven’t changed my portions, though. Will be doing the same for Christmas. I bought my parents their gift.

[Paris13]

Nice!!! xx

[JC_jester]

My mom is planning to cook for the entire army, and there are only four of us (dad, my two brothers, and me), plus my brothers' families (spouses and kids, and they are bringing some stuff with them). There will be a lot of food.

As for sports, I mainly engage in swimming, and sometimes volleyball with friends.

I can't complain about my weight, but before Christmas, I'll add one extra visit to the pool each week. It certainly won't hurt, lmao

[Paris13]

lol Beautiful and Welcome to Gag and Best of Luck!!! xx

[JC_jester]

Thank you!

[IslaTheWitch]

No way :D Life is too short for this. I'm happy with my all-year valid meal plan and exercise program. I eat what I cook, and I run when I feel it's time for it... I probably won't until spring. I don't want to freeze :D

[Paris13]

Great!!! xx

[JC_jester]

That's exactly what I thought, that witches don't need to worry about their appearance or weight. They are always beautiful and tempting.

[nonyabeez-wax]

I'm trying to walk more. Get my hearts BPM to 130 for about two hours. Done it a few times. Working my way up to running. Been told not to workout for about a year now thanks to a tbi, so I gotta start somewhere.

[Paris13]

Walking is The Ticket!!! xx

[thegreenyogi]

No particular diet. I'm going to eat all the things I don't eat all year round and do the same exercise regime I do all year round. Yoga or pilates 4-5 times a week and if I can fit in a walk here and there. Xx

[Paris13]

Nice!!! xx

[thegreenyogi]

Thank you!! xx

[mandyfire98]

I pretty much stay on a diet throughout the year. I'm also a dancer so I'm very active with exercise. Minus Thanksgiving of course. I gained 6 to 8 pounds Thanksgiving week lol. It's already almost gone this week.

[Paris13]

LOve This!!! xx

[TrueConfection]

I eat pretty healthy, but I do love Christmas cookies😋

I just have to be careful not to indulge at parties and what not so I can indulge on Christmas.

[Paris13]

Ahh Those Luscious Cookies. xx

[Lynx122]

Nope I've been stressed tf out and haven't done much exercising at all but I'm going on holiday for 6 weeks soon and I will have a lot less on my mind so I hope I'll be more healthy :).

[Paris13]

Enjoy!!! xx

[Bianka_Amy]

I walk everywhere I go, but I am not doing anything special in terms of a diet. However, my BMI is 20, so no need for a diet really.

[Paris13]

Ahh And Welcome to Gag and Best of Luck. xx

[Bianka_Amy]

Thank you, Paris!

[Akothee005]

For me am planning on doing exercise but dieting I don't think I can do that during this period of Christmas which is always accompanied by lots and lots of food.

[Paris13]

Darn FOOOD!!! lolxx

[Akothee005]

Hell yea you know food is kinda my thing
