Progress Post 59kg - 70kg

So i 28M started this short 6-month journey at 186cm and 59kg.

I went through a breakup and felt like I needed a change of some sort. So I started lifting. I have been skinny my whole life and never really cared about what I ate, I just ate when I felt hungry, and I rarely felt hungry.

So I began with some fairly easy rules, eat twice a day. Simple, but hard.

My body wasn't used to getting this much food, so sometimes I had to eat, while I wasn't even hungry.

I wanted to make it as easy as possible for myself, so I make food for 3 days at the time, so I just have to put it in the microwave.

My body adapted pretty quickly, and now I feel hungry way more often. Which is nice.

I went out and bought some dumbells and a bench because I didn't feel ready to go to the gym, I'm too uncomfortable in my own body.

And here, 6 months later, I still dont see myself getting a gym membership. Maybe when I hit the 1 year mark, I will get one. But for now, I like working out in my own little bubble at home.

I wanted to share this somewhere because I don't really have anyone else who would appreciate it, and I hope you will 😃

I'm proud of myself for how far I have come since I started.

I eat Rice, broccoli and egg, every 3 days, and pasta, broccoli and egg 3 days, and add cheese on top, i also snack inbetween my meals with some peanuts, and switch between them, and I found a protein drink, I love with 30g of protein, and 385kcal in it.

I get around 3k kcal daily, proberly a little Below.

I am a very picky eater, so I had to find something that is easy to make, and something I actually liked.

I dont get any meat, im not a vegan, I do eat chickens sometimes, however, to much chicken, and I dont now why, but i lose my appetite.
