So. in the last month, my girlfriend has moved in with me, college, etc.
important bits:
trying to avoid fastfood but girlfriend is 115 pound skiny bitch and insists on taco bell (I don't eat fast food unless I'm like starving)
my workout schedules is destroyed (no time to go to the gym)
I've gained 10 pounds in the last month and a half
I'm ~6'3" 242lb. as of this morning (not in horrible shape but definetly carrying some extra weight)
workout equipment:
tile floor
one-hand dumbell with 65 pounds of weight
any workout/nutrition advice besides obvious (push-ups, situps, curls, no fastfood)?
No time to go to the gym, but you've got 60% of the time required to be in the gym to write this post. Logical.
You stated a life change, yet you're willing to do minimalistic changes and expect tremendous beyond comprehension changes.
Fact is - no change of what you're willing to give will satisfy what you're looking for.
Fact is - everybody have got time for the gym, but they're too busy complaining.
Fact is - changes are no easy.
Fact is - the choice is something you should make and read the sticky and come back here with the spirit I'm looking for.

small town, the gym is half an hour away, gotta leave to pick my girlfriend up in about 10 minutes, she works 20 minutes in an opposite direction from the gym, have class at 4:30-7:30, girlfriends car needs new spark plugs after that hers haven't been changed in almost 2 years, from what I've read online in order to get to the back right plug I'm going to have to remove the master brake cylinder so I'll be up till 11PM, in the morning I have English Comp until noon, girlfriend has to be at work at 1:30, I ahve to pick my sister up from school at 3, then I have to go change the oil in my car
I don't have a lot of time, I was looking for some excersize advice, not a philosophy
it took me about 2 minutes to type this up
at least 3 things on the list you combined are a temporary setback. Life will always pose challenges.
I gave you my advice and the outcome of your minimalistic way of thinking.
When you want a change, you go grab it. For all I care, you can wake up at 5 am and start running 10 km and get back home in time.
lol at millions of excuses not to go.
Why do you even bother, seriously?
I have to drive 20-30 minutes to the gym, sometimes very late and still manage to do homework and do good at school.
Tell your bitch ass of a girlfriend to get a fucking car like a normal person and try and put in effort in your sorry excuse for a relationship.
Your not going to make ANY changes with the effort your showing right now, thats like saying
"Yeah, im gonna stop smoking, but only on sundays, and only after 8pm on that day, im hoping not to get lung cancer"
Try and get a pull-up bar. You can get one for 20-40 bucks, you can put them over a doorframe
Spark plugs are cheap as hell to fix. Help her fix the car yourself so she can drive herself to work. I have been going to to gym every day for a week now (just got my membership) and im only there for about an hour a day. I play a lot of raquetball with my brother for cardio and you cant really get a raquetball court in your house.
What do you even expect physical change to do for you? Improve you?
Attitude adjustment is the first port of call. If you're too lazy and unwilling to put minor effort into simply attending the gym, finding yourself a decent workout (lots of information in the sticky) and doing it for a couple of weeks, you're probably too lazy, unready and unwilling to really make actual changes in your life.
Coming up with endless excuses to justify your inactivity doesn't help you towards achieving your goals, all it does is further fortify your beliefs that you [b]can't under any circumstance[/b] actually do something which you most likely could do.
And finally, if you're girlfriend's forcing you into eating fast food, you might want to take a reality check on your relationship, cause if you're losing control of you, alarm bells should definitely be ringing.
