cn3wton Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 So go back a few years, I was super active on here. Lost the remainder of my weight, started crossfit, did my first ever rope climb, pull up, and even hand stand push ups. I was crushing it in the gym and food wise. Then I got a job that ducked the soul from my body. I started missing workouts, stopped meal prepping, and eventually stopped caring. At my lightest I was 185 pounds, down from 300. Now, only abut a year and a half to two years later, I'm at 268 pounds. About a year ago I tried coming back here. But my crummy job led to the vicious cycle of wake up early, work, get home and sleep. I slept all weekend and did next to nothing. Literally just sleeping. 8 months ago I got a new job, an engineering job. But I had gotten lazy. I had more time to myself but still skipped the gym. Kept eating crap food. Since I wasn't on my feet all day anymore I gained 40 lbs in the last 6 months. I have tried everything. But the constant thought of "how did I let this happen" gets me down. So after trying everything I tried thinking of what's brought me success before. So I have been going back to the gym consistently, have made a plan for food, and have decided to come back here. I hope to reconnect with old friends and maybe make some new one's! 4 Quote "All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us." - J.R.R Tolkien "Progress, not perfection."

Sloth the Enduring Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 Dang man. I was just thinking about you and the crazy workouts you used to do. A soul-crushing job makes everything impossible. I hope the engineering job is better. Are you going to put up a challenge or a battle log? 1 Quote “We might as well start where we are, use what we have and do what we can." – Caitlin Rivers Sloth: The Man with the Hammer battle log Link to comment
cn3wton Posted May 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 I plan on ressurecting my battle log and possibly jumping into the challenge. On the plus side my strength is greater than before. Hit a 500lb sled push on the concrete the other day. I miss those days sloth. Not gonna lie. Jump roping in a snow storm, sledge swings in the rain... Now running 250m leaves me gasping for air... But if I don't start now when will I right? 2 Quote "All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us." - J.R.R Tolkien "Progress, not perfection."
