Jona Posted January 9, 2016 Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 Well, that wasn't a first.I kinda dropped back into old habits. I wanted to lose weight, fast. So I chose to eat very few things for some time (roughly around 500 calories per day) and naturally: couldn't carry on working out. After some time, I woke up and asked myself what I was doing. I started eating again, yet didn't resume to working out.So here I am. 3 months of not working out, practically having lost all muscles and not being able to run for 2 minutes. I hate cardio. I hate hate hate it. But I got better at it, and now I've lost my progress. Well, I messed up. Yesterday I went to the gym for the first time since september. My legs hurt, my back hurts and my arms hurt. My walking lunges dropped to 15kg (3 x 10)My pully rows dropped to 25 kg (3 x 10)My back extensions have dropped to 10kg (3 x 12)My leg press has dropped to 160kg (3 x 6)My triceps extensions have dropped to 22kg (3 x 10) And my cardio is really non existent. I don't feel well, friends. I really don't. Especially my endurance really saddens me. I worked really hard on that. I was never a natural runner, but I loved the silence and being not reachable for an hour per day. So I got better at it, until I actually liked running. Shoot. Edit: *Choosing Quote Link to comment
Slayer Posted January 12, 2016 Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 I totally understand how frustrating it is to lose ability you used to have. But, the good news is, you're back! It's hard to change your relationship with food, especially when you're really frustrated with yourself, so that's a major win. And, despite being super sore (I know that feeling), making it back to the gym is a woot, too! Even though it sucks to feel like you're starting over, that's the part that requires real strength/courage. We're all behind you! Quote Slayer Druid "Welcome to the Hellmouth."
