HTer Goals '25 Edition

[Hammsolo]

Oh boy! Found out I'm still pretty squishy. Got through the first 15 minutes of the lower body workout program and had to stop. Supposed to keep the rpm at 65 and by that point my knee had lost all strength and was just along for the ride. No pain but it just didn't have anything there. Guess I need to go slower for now.

That sounds like you kicked a$$. Slow steady growth for the win. Be patient with yourself buddy. Post knee surgery I started at 0 resistance for just a couple of minutes. It’ll come.

Take it easy it’s not a race, it’s an adventure.

Google sit and spinning and see what you get!

Probably not at work.

Got to pay attention to where I am posting. This was over in the '24 thread.

I have NEVER been a gym rat or like working out my entire life. I joked about turning 16 and driving to the bathroom. I am staring down the barrel of 60, an ex-smoker by 8 months and pushing 300 pounds. Started last week with my goals for 2025 but today is day 1 of my "Sheep Shape" year. Have a spread sheet that I will update daily with accomplishments so when I die of a heart attack the coroner may know why LOL!

Nutrition goals: We eat pretty clean (we grow a lot of our own food) but I have an affinity for chips and cookies. 2025 is a no chip and maybe a couple cookie year. Focused on tons of veggies and smaller meals with fruit or veggie snacks 3 times a day. Have tons of organic pork to eat through as well as a bunch of chicken we need to eat.


Started a breakfast routine (I never ate breakfast before) of overnight oats. 1/2 cup oatmeal, 1/2 cup of milk, 1/4 cup non-fat plain Greek yogurt, 2-Tbsp of raisins and 1-Tbsp of honey. Sits in the fridge overnight and in the morning it gets 2-Tbsp of slivered almonds. Good stuff!

Part of sharing this with all of you is to document the journey for myself as well as encourage others who need that fat guy in the gym to keep you motivated. Here's to all of us looking to improve ourselves in some way throughout 2025. I hope we look back in 12 months in amazement.

Took 4 inches off the waist last year, hopefully continue that and actually loose some weight. Put burpees into the routine as well. Hopefully the podiatrist tells me good news with my foot that's been messed up since October.
