Damn, this is actually the first time reading those because in my past workplaces, I'd be like: "Fuck it. YOLOOO" XD but when I learned those practices here in my new workplace, you could say that I am slowly getting out of my comfort zone.
HHahahahah Working with no windows will give me a rising temp tbh, my body is like a volcano that if it erupts, i would be bathing with sweat and heat XD
Oh pinups, itz what I call them Their just normal commissions. Since there not comics and such just character pinups/ digitally] I have a commission sheet I pin to my twitter for anyone who wants to pay me to draw them something. Every now and again I get and icon or two but mostly pinup art. - sorry for the confusion
Office jobs do have their contra points too, especially if you're working in a smaller company and your boss is your dad. It's just managable enough that I can see myself working here for years, which makes it a little bit easier sorting what to do in my free time. I kinda have that same fear - and this might sound a little weird - but the quote "believe in the me that believes in you" is such a powerful one that does help me a lot during times where I have those thoughts ^^ make sure to take little steps first.
I know a little bit of French from my old school, but I'm totally rusted in that lol English, of course, I can pretty much speak fluently (I'm German, so that's my native language xD) and I tried learning Japanese, but yeah, I'm waiting till I can make more time for that :3
Sure! Here is my Twitter1
I have a few commissions that I am working on right now so it might take a week for me to get to yours if you wish to commission me. Thanks so much!
Sure thing Biggest misconception is that you need to run to lose weight. That might help you shed some water weight but that's most of it and that's the number that fluctuates throughout the day anyway. Running is mostly for stamina and heart and lung strength. Muscle requires more energy to maintain than fat so if you start doing some muscle building you will begin by gaining some weight but if your diet is healthy you will eventually start to bleed it off. It's MUCH slower than some crazy crash diet but it's more sustainable because it builds a healthier lifestyle as well. It kind of depends on a lot of factors what or how much you should be eating. But base average level for men is around 2000 calories per day and for women it's around 1800. Now that's average and assuming you arent weight lifting much.
I want to add a disclaimer though. I've never struggled with weight so I've never had to lose it. However, I did want to build muscle last year so I had to adjust my diet because the amount that I normally eat was only good for maintenance. And that was work for me. I had to force myself to eat more than just being comfortable for the day and I had to think about the amount of protein I was eating better. I had to be a calorie counter lol ended up putting on 10-15 pounds of muscle and I still have to keep it in consideration to maintain it even though I can't work out quite as hard as I could back then lol
Additionally, there is a LOT you can do with your body weight without any weights. Depending on the position of your arms you can do pushups that hit different muscle groups. I've done dips using an ottoman and raising my feet up with the edge of a couch lol sit ups from different angles or with some weights (save a milk jug and fill it with it with water. You now have about a 9 pound dumbbell). When you feel comfortable you can do downward facing pushups by putting your legs up on the arm of your couch to target the shoulders. Planks are fantastic for core strength. So are Burpees. You can look on ebay for resistance bands and pick a full set up for under 30$ with a door anchor to broaden your range of things of possibilities (just google "exercise [muscle group like back, chest, arms, etc,....] resistance bands" and look through them. They usually have video guides).
Hope that helps! Feel free to ask if you have anything more specific you're curious about. Best of luck!
Hooohhh I only do running to strengthen my lung. It has been bothering me for years and I had to really force myself making it strong. For building muscles, I will do what you recommend but i need some time since i can't get those bands just yet. Financials.. but thank you for this! I will take notes!
