It does have one but the price is pretty steep. Coming into college I thought I’d be able to maintain my body with my regular nightly workout but I stopped doing it around December after I got covid.

Thanks for the advice I always knew it was a possibility but never really conceptualized it. I’m sure when you were in the military you never thought you’d look different.

No offense but this kinda always scared me about aging. I look at my uncles (all 50s and 60s) and they are overweight and the tough part is that they were just as active as I was. I’m a little worried that I will look like them one day and even if I can turn it around there isn’t much I can do when my metabolism comes to a crashing halt. Thank you for the advice though and I really need to turn this ship around soon because I know I could end up like you a year ago very easily.

I mean Im generally walking around and active but I usually building hop from class to class

Yeah I can’t already tell my muscles aren’t as slim. A part of it too is that im not longer a varsity athlete and im not working though.

Back in my day I used to workout with only a stick and a rock! For the whole gym!!!

It’s not that she doesn’t deserve the effort I was working out semi-regularly when I met her. Covid took me out of my routine for a while and I’ve been pressed for time, the weather has been shit, and my motivation just isn’t there anymore.

Also I’ve matured and realized muscles aren’t everything to attract a girl but that realization also made me realize working out isn’t as important as I thought it was which is a factor for why I haven’t picked it up again.

Lastly my body still looks fine. My stomach isn’t perfectly flat anymore and my chest and arms look a bit smaller but I still look skinny I’m not really to worried yet but I want to get back into it.

Yeah honestly if anything my carb consumption increased due to more alcohol (beer) and the dining hall. I was working over the summer burning weight and barely eating due to my schedule while also working out.

I don’t ‘crave’ anything but I want to keep my body at an the baseline I was at last year.

I guess I could go outside now that it is spring but winter here is absolutely miserable.

I am fit right now though my muscles seem to have faded a bit. I know I could easily slip though as I have been steadily gaining weight since August

I agree but I still think I look relatively good. I want to get back into shape partially for her but due to all the other stuff mentioned I can’t keep a consistent routine.

Swimming is a good idea though I will mention that to her!

It’s already slightly slipped. My body definitely looks different compared to a year ago (i accredit this to alcohol and uni dining hall food) and I have put on a little weight. It’s not crazy but if the trend continues for a while I will be out of shape in a year or two.
