So much pain with 5x15 but next week dials back a lot so will get some respite lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finally jumped past the 40kg lost mark and heading steadily toward the 50kg loss as my next goal (always feels like the last step between goals takes the longest). I think my biggest take away, despite the obvious, is about moderation. Something I’ve never been particularly good at and something I have had to embrace. Through this whole time I haven’t stopped drinking, haven’t stopped eating sugar or carbs, haven’t stopped desert or fatty foods... I just make sure they fit into my daily intake, and if they don’t, I exercise more. With two parents who were morbidly obese their whole lives and kept a household of habits that reflected such, it’s something I’m so proud to say is now just habit for me. So onwards (or downwards) to the next goal! (not that I’m hell bent on the scales at this point to be fair, just happy to settle healthy) 🥰 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't been back to the gym yet but hopefully should be soon. I think its a bit optimistic to expect I can pick up where I left off being I haven't been for 7 weeks 😔. Sick of being sick... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puffwagon Puff Gold Donating Members 15,116 Member For: 9y 2m 21d Gender: Male Location: South Australia Posted 19/08/22 12:19 AM Share Posted 19/08/22 12:19 AM Yeah you can't pick up where you left off, even if you didn't get sick. Give yourself a month of light stuff to get everything ready again and if you are still feeling the effects of being sick ie; breathlessness etc, take it easy until you're feeling better. Remember to build yourself up slowly, not wear yourself down by going too hard. You can do pushups at home, body weight squats etc to keep things ticking over. Even walking laps of the yard or the block for 15 minutes is better than nothing at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonna have until Monday off to recover a bit then get them easy gains. Haha the missus took a photo of my back and there's actually muscles poking out of it lol. There's still plenty of fat but not as much as I expected. Anyhow there's that, turns out lots of lifting actually does make gains, just takes a while.
