Primarily strength training. I’ve been building up a baseline with pushups, dips, curls, etc but I want to start keeping track of PRs with weights. I’ve put on 15lbs of muscle in the last 3 months or so, which has been pretty easy since I was so light - primarily due to my next point
Also to keep clean, I have been sober for awhile, but once an addict always an addict so it’s an ongoing thing
Hey, yeah slap me on there. I’ll probably have to make a post about everything I’m trying to improve haha
The appetite takes a while to return. Like your stomach literally shrinks from extended periods of little eating.
I’ve been able to put on 35lbs since quitting stimulants ~6 months ago, so I really do think that is a big factor. If you’re able to use a blender, something like this combined with peanut butter, milk, bananas, can really help with getting calories without the feeling of fullness or the “ick” I was getting with heavy meals while I was using and shortly afterwards. Honestly, you could just use water if you’re not able to store milk.
They do sell these kind of shakes pre-made, but they are ridiculously expensive.
