As per usual, I create a new fitness related thread for each league. Post your goals for the upcoming year, requests for help on workout programs and/or nutrition, etc. Since moving to Temple, Texas a month and half ago, I've found less time to hit the gym than ever before. The times I did go, I skipped lifting in favor of basketball. I put up this photo on Facebook to hold myself accountable and get back into (better) shape. I also included me trying to dunk on a 10' rim. My boss joked it looks like 8' but that's because I had to place the iPhone against a curb at a somewhat tilted angle. You can see some solid distance between my extended leg and the ground. Guys like Russell Westbrook (one of the few guys who'll dunk with both legs extended with regularity) *appear* to have a short verticals with legs extended but we all know...   |

...Not great music in that gym.
I was trying to find a picture from a few months ago, to show what I could look like...but the only thing I can find is a mirror selfie sent to some girl, don't think anyone wants to see that. I struggle with the eating part since I had a head injury and I can't smell anymore. Took about a month off to rest my body, was pretty much destroying my hands and shoulders from lifting and boxing. Feeling better now should be back to fighting shape in a month or so. Have been sparring again recently, don't think I'll fight anytime soon, but the cardio/core workouts are brutal.

I hate recording/taking pictures but I'll try to record a good heavy bag workout at some point this week.

Shouldnty not being able to smell make it easier to eat, if you cant really get a good taste of anything bc of your smell just eat the healthiest stuff possible |

I get turned off alot of food because of the odor. |

I get turned off alot of food because of the odor. yeah I think we had a chat in the slack about being picky eaters recently. Smell is bad for me too, some things like tuna salad I just cant be around. I will say though the thing that turns me off of seafood, which I dont eat, is generally the sliminess and texture as much as the smell |

Yup same boat with seafood. I'm not much of a seafood eater, it's probably almost 50/50 the smell and texture that turn me off the most

You can't imagine how much the sense of smell is tied to what you want to eat. |
