Ask me about how my football team's success determines my self worth, and how I wish I lived in New Orleans.

Leperflesh posted:

I do too. But we're too bonded to the five now. It was hard enough giving them up the first time, once they came back that was basically it.

I buy multiple 42 pound bags of litter at Costco every couple or three months. And we pretty much have to vacuum weekly.

I was going to ask if your house stunk? Not out of disrespect but because literally every house I have been in that had more than 3 pets has smelled like a house that has more than 3 pets.

So I've started doing planks now, you know to be less fat, but I can never tell if I'm doing it right. I can hold that poo poo for like 2 minutes without feeling anything but rug burn on my elbows. Should I just go back to push ups and sit ups like a proper man or do I actually need to learn real exercise in order to not die in my 50s?

Bonus Question: Is out living my dog really a goal I should be shooting for?
Learn real exercise. Sorry.

No. There are a few key things:

-We have hardwood floors everywhere, and we sealed them with polyurethane, so they're waterproof. Cats pissing on the floor is extremely rare in our house, but it occasionally happens, and being able to clean it up properly without it soaking into the wood or a carpet is totally a requirement.
-All the cats are fixed. Intact males stink, and are driven by instinct to piss on things. Get your loving cats neutered god dammit.
-When you have more than one cat you probably need more than one cat box. We have an enormous one that we made from a huge sterlite container, and another normal sized one, and for a long time we had a third. If the catbox is too crowded, one or more cats are gonna find somewhere else to piss and poo poo.
-Don't leave your dirty laundry lying around, cats think it's a good place to piss because it already stinks like you and that's awesome or something.
-Air out the house regularly. You should do this anyway.

Cats instinctively want to use a cat box to bury their poo. If you have a cat pissing anywhere else, you're doing something wrong or there's something wrong with the cat, like a urinary tract infection or something.

We also keep our house as clean as we can, e.g, sweeping very frequently where there's litter and vacuuming more or less weekly, plus actually washing the floor every once in a while.

I'm sure if you walked into the back room right after a cat took a poo poo you would smell cat poo poo, but with good dry clumping clay litter, the odor generally goes away within minutes.

You need to break from the myth that fitness means weight loss and that you can target fat.

Anything that causes you to drop more than a pound a week is not going to be permanent, and your belly is going to go last no matter how many sit ups you do.

Just aim for fitness and your body will follow.

Try to walk a lot. Like, long walks with no stopping except at maybe a crosswalk, or on a treadmill even though that can be dull.

I only care about fitness and bodybuilding for aesthetics. Despite what goons say, it's a legit reason and motivation to get fit

Also this, transportation exercise is a big help. I stopped driving to work a few years ago and always walk or bike and it has done wonders. You cannot exactly quit if you get tired because you still gotta get to work/home and eventually you build up endurance for more rigorous exercise

I'm not like, morbidly obese, I can go for runs without dying. Usually. Actually I'm pretty drat winded after a mile and I generally only make that in like 9 minutes. Moving across country right after the holidays really screwed my routine and I need to make some real gains to get back where I was. The only pressing thing is getting married in 3 months so I'd like to look somewhat presentable for the girl.

Who is saying it's not a legit reason and motivation? Looking good is a motive for pretty much anyone.

The problem is a lot of people end up damaging their bodies worse by trying to get a body that "looks" good above a body that is actually healthy.

Do you have a fitbit? Having a tiny little number taunting you all day is a great motivator.

If you find long workouts dull and grueling try doing some interval stuff instead. You can accomplish in 20 minutes what would normally take 40 just by alternating the intensity.
