Hi frens.
I understand that not everyone of you is religious and among who are not everyone is christian. Nevertheless, now it's Lent time. The Lent remind us the time when Jesus fasted in the desert tempted by the devil.
If we want to see the thing in a non-religious optic, the Lent is a moment of the year when we say no to what is alluring but bad for us and embrace the struggle in order to become better version of ourselves.
What do I do other than what is prescribed by the religious rules?
During this period I renounce to the pleasure of alcohol. You can believe me if I say that it's not easy for me.

At the midnight of Tuesday March 4th the 40 days started.
I'm going to avoid bad foods and to train at least 3 times per week.
Yesterday I checked my weight:
>weight 79.90kg
>body fat 9.9
>muscolar mass 41.6
>BMI 25,2 (slightly overweight)

Tomorrow I'm going to do a basical fitness test.

Wishing you luck, fren. I don't have experience with the lent, but have been wanting to do it for some time.

>During this period I renounce to the pleasure of alcohol. You can believe me if I say that it's not easy for me.

Have you considered ditching alcohol altogether? I highly recommend giving this sermon a watch:

Update:
I did my self evaluation test. Here the results:
>pull-up 8
>push-up 39
>squat 69
>sit-up 50
All the exercises has been done in the time limit of 2 minutes.

Let's train and see how much I can improve in a month from now.

Thank you for your suggestion but I'm not going to get rid of alcohol.
If I were a binge drinker that can't control himself I would totally do that but it's not my case.
For me some good wine or beer are the perfect complement for a delicious meal. I enjoy them without even get tipsy.
Not to mention that there are many social occasions where it's appropriate to have an alcoholic drink.

Hello frens!
Let's have a post that's not spam, shall we?
The Lent is over and i'm happy to share the results with you. Considering that, for several reasons, during this period i was able to train only 9 times, the results are surprisingly good.

Let's start with the weight. I weighted myself on March 09th and April 06th.
>weight: 79,90 / 77,80 (-1,9kg)
>body fat: 9,9 / 9,6 (-0,3%)
>muscular mass: 41,6 / 41,9 (+0,3%)
>BMI: 25,2 (slightly overweight) 24,5 (in shape)

About my fitness, i've tested myself on March 11th and April 17th.
>Pull-ups: 8 / 9 (+1)
>Push-ups: 39 / 44 (+5)
>Squats: 69 / 75 (+6)
>Sit-ups: 50 / 51 (+1)

3. No junk food.
4. Work out 3 times in the week for one hour.
5. Daily journaling, for at least 10 min.
6. Sit still every day for 10 min.

Good luck Anon!
Why you don't do a self evaluation test now and another one at the end of April?
The purpose is to have a record to brake and keep track of your progress.

Good idea


>1. No energy drinks or caffeine at all
This one has become a big problem for me. I drink energy drinks several times a week and I hope to get more energy out of the day by stopping.

>2. Soda (caffeine free) and junk food only on Friday/Saturday and in limited amounts
I want to cut down on these things to lose weight and feel better. I have already cut down a little on it, but I want to get to a point in which I consume it no more than once a week. I don't want to quit entirely as I don't want it to be so that I can't enjoy it sometimes with friends or family

>3. Exercise every day, whether it be running, weightlifting or bodyweight exercises
I already run 3 times a week (currently doing C25K) and want to also focus on the rest of the body. I want to lose weight and look noticeably more fit by the end of April.

>4. Go for a walk daily in the evening
A bit the same as above, but also to clear my mind and use it a a way of meditation also. I will walk after dinner, without music or anything in my ears. I have thought about editing my local Openstreetmaps as it isn't super good here.
