So I thought its about time I started a training log, and hopefully this should stop me from derailing everything all over again, or falling out of practice. Suffering from depression at the moment, so training gets put off due to apathy and lack of motivation, hopefully now will not be the case. Not going to aim for some super high goals at the moment due to lack of time and various other issues.
Currently sitting at 92.5 kilos, which is better than where I was a year ago at nearly 100 kilos thanks to a cyst in my armpit which I suffered two months with, and then a week before it was to be taken out, exploded leaving a hole in my armpit. Fun fun fun.
Anyway, enough feeling sorry for myself and making excuses. My goals are to get fit, lose the weight, tone up and put some muscle back on, get my diet to be more consistent and attain some flexibility back.
For the time being I'm just going to be doing cardio work, until I hit 90 kilos where I'll up the intensity of my cardio, start running again, and pick up martial arts training. (I used to be a second brown belt when I was younger, but gave it up due to my final years of high school and work - I don't think I'll go back to a school for a little while yet). At 85 kilos I'll again up the intensity of everything, and pick up weights and resistence training. Doing bodyweight twice a week, and freeweights once a week. Once I'm down to 80 I'll pick up the intensity of everything again, but also incorporate flexibility and yoga training within my schedule.
So my goals are to lose enough weight to get around to somewhere within 70kilos, and to lose my depression.
Started today (Monday) with a nice little cardio workout to some great Australian hardcore bands like Terror Firma and Fuck It I Quit.
Will probably do the same when I get home from uni to some Converge.
I am at times a fellow sufferer. I find that running, walking and yoga really help but running definitely helps the most.
