Yall I work too many hours at an office job and 2nd job. Early as hell in the morning and get about 2hrs of daylight after work before working again. Sitting down while I work all day so I don’t move enough (and considering a walking pad just gotta get on it cus that would seriously help).

I’m overwhelmed and burnt out so going to a gym seriously is just so much, I feel like walking is manageable because I don’t have to factor in the drive and gas etc I can just go straight from home. If I’m eating 1400 calories a day am a 5’8 24yrs female weighing 166lbs. How many steps should I take a day for a serious “beach bod”? I want to be healthy, fit, and skinny again but just so overwhelmed with life I think mentally I can handle walking as much as possible over worrying about how many sets and a gym membership etc… I don’t have any room where I live to do workout stuff indoors either.

I used to be so active and just naturally stayed skinny and fit because I was always hiking and climbing and doing things, working to survive the last 3 years has stolen it from me and I want it back through walking if possible.

Hey!

I came to the realization the other day that I want to quit vaping and drinking. Both at the same time. Any advice?

I’ve vaped every single day for 7 years now and the drinking was more like drinking WAY too much on weekends, and some week days after work, and became something I depended on to decompress from an overwhelming job and responsibilities.

Right now I have pretty much decided I WILL not have a drop of alcohol in my home and would like to set a rule where IF I drink it’s ONLY if other people planned something without my intervention and everyone else is drinking. And I will also not be allowed to get drunk. (This will make it so instead of having maybe 40 bears a week I may only have a drink once a month or every other month when my non alcoholic friends want to plan something) But I am not allowed to just sit in my home drinking anymore.

But the vaping… now that one is hard. It’s been 3 days not a drop of alcohol no problem I feel like I’ve got it. But I tried cold turkey with the vape and it was a lot. I was spacey and I went almost 6hrs before I felt like I was getting a migraine. So for now I have a rule where I go as long as possible without hitting it and I’m only allowed a max of 3 emergency hits per day.

Would really love advice if anyone has any to give on this 🙏
