Hii folks, how do you maintain an active lifestyle on a regular basis?

Active Lifestyle

Active Lifestyle- Grapevine

Personally, I think the underlying factor for me has been being strict with myself. I try to work out 6x a week on a regular basis. Using my finances wisely with healthy meals. I mean, a burger from Louis Burger or a Pizza from Pizza Bakery is baller but in the long run that's a real killer. Finally, I have been trying to prioritize sleep which means don't scroll reels/social media for 30 minutes before bed if it is 1am already. 

What about you?

How do you manage your lifestyle for a healthy way of living?

And here I am eating junk food everyday and barely exercising 🙂 
 This gave me some motivation

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

People of Grapevine, how do you maintain (or try to maintain) a regular workout routine. How often do you workout and what do you do.

Workout Routine

I am aware of the benefits of working out and I know I should. I typically just end up making excuses and workout out of laziness.

Wondering if there's something that works for you guys?

Folks who exercise consistently, how do you motivate yourself to workout?

Growth And Strategy

Anyone who has cracked it?

Gym 4 days a week. 
 6-8 hrs of work + Leetcode daily + any one other productive item 
 My recreation is music. Listening and playing, that happens in the last 2 hours of the day. It gets replaced with going out generally. 
  
 I also do a trade off between items daily, as per priority, so it sort of works out. 
  
 Anymore items and I breakdown and need a break. So avoiding burnout while being productive is a daily thing. 
  
  
 The one thing. Read this book 4 months ago, did wonders for me mentally.

I try to walk every day around 4 kilometers back and forth from the office. I take vitamin D3 10,000 IU once a week and consume about 50-100 grams of protein daily. Additionally, I play 45 minutes of badminton twice a week for agility.

What am I missing on?

Hello folks, 

Back to Monday. Hope y'all have had a nice weekend. Hoping to be more productive this week than I was in the last one 😀

What this post is: a place to hang around and chat just about anything, without having a specific topic to discuss.
Think of it like the watercooler at your office.

Look forward to hearing from you all :)

I'm a fitness chaser who can't control what I eat. So I do okay. I want to restart my fitness journey but a bit structured this time. So what's your fitness regime that I can jump into?

Also what's your opinion on fitness tracker? I have my eye on Garmin watches but worried about their support.

Mildly fit people in GV, what's your fitness regime?

 Pretty fit and the last body checkup showed everything is within range 
  
 1) gym 4 days a week. Not messing around here, I’ve been working out with the same trainer for 5 years 
  
 2) 1.5 scoops of protein shake post workout 
  
 3) no meditation/yoga/pranayam because I find it immensely boring  
  
 4) no sugar with tea/coffee. Skip breakfast. 2 rotis and chicken for lunch. 2 rotis dal and chicken for dinner. I’m a south Indian so rice once in a while is a must  
  
 5) full day fast once a month  
  
 Now I have a decent body and super proud of it  
  
 Good luck homie

Generalist

I’ve lately been struggling with keeping my energy levels up through the day. My lifestyle isn’t that bad. Decent sleep, frequent exercise, I’m happy etc

But I find myself zoning out of conversations and this is affecting my ability to be “liked” at the workplace.

It’s not even about being liked, but as a person I don’t like not being able to 100% be there for people when they’re talking to me. It’s what makes us human, in a way.

People who are high energy, have you figured what your secret might be? 

thanks 🙏🏻

People who are generally energetic, how do you do it?

I was in a similar situation where I felt lost and disconnected throughout the day. Things that worked for me:- 
  
 (1) Cut caffeine and sugar completely - strictly 0% consumption. Caffeine is really bad for sleep quality. 
 (2) Increase vitamin D intake - sunlight and supplements. Deficiency leads to general fatigue and brain fog. 
 (3) Improve sleep quality - have camomile tea, get a good mattress and comforter, sleep before 1 AM to be in deep sleep in the 2 AM to 4 AM range 
 (4) Cold showers - not sure if they do anything at all but I've felt a noticeable increase in energy levels after doing them (even if placebo)

I have to travel from Kochi to Bangalore every two weeks or so. Due to this constraint, I'm not able to join any gyms be at Bangalore or Kochi. And i have recently noticed that my fitness is becoming really weak. Also since I'm traveling homely food is not possible. Is anyone else going through the same stuff? Can you give me a few suggestions to handle this issue. Also, I'm staying at a backpacker hostel. They don't have treadmill or any other equipments here. 
Thanks.

Suggestions to maintain fitness

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

I am sorry my first post was supposed to be an achievement or CTC /salary  but  will surely come back one fine day with it too.
Anyways, I'm just trying to ask: what helps you? In your deepest, darkest of times, when nothing is working? Forget antidepressants for a second! Besides those medicines, what are some things that make you less depressed? 

The reason why I'm asking is that I am depressed. I was diagnosed by a professional.  Meds I don't like because they end up making me feel 
a) more depressed 
b) not at all myself; 
c) give me other terrible side effects 
Took therapy, antidepressants and what not for insomnia still don't have the right way to handle.

I just wanted new ideas, nevertheless, in hopes of finding something that may actually do something. If you ever have been in depression and insomniac please comment thereby creating a "safe space" Can't we ? For saving one life.
Apologies for the long post but sometimes I just have to say it

Depressed & insomniac .what helped you other than medicines .If you ever have been in this phase, your one solution might help. Please create a safe space. Can't we ? Thanks wholeheartedly.

I joined a gym to gain weight. I took measurements initially and also today. 1.5 kg weight gain and lost a little tummy fat other than that no noticeable other changes. 


I discussed my diet with one of the gym trainers, He says it is good. 

But now all my motivation is gone.

Joined a gym two months ago, No progress so far.
