Got fat // Gym day 1

Related image

It was time to face the music. Stuffing your face every day with food unfortunately starts showing over time. haha
Today i looked at myself in the mirror and i saw a Turkish kebab vendor that is his own best customer. It was time for a change.

I have this problem, kinda.

I never watched what i ate. When i was younger i used to play basketball. Training twice a day and games on sunday, so i could eat a horse and not notice it.
I remember during college in the university cantina id order something crazy like 3-4 hamburgers and end them in a couple minutes.
But then injuries came and knee surgery and my career was done.

Because of that i never learned my limit since i could eat as much as i wanted and never get fat.
Go a couple years into the future and i went from a 6 pack to a cushion belly. Lol.

Anyways… Since i follow @exyle and @nathanmars on twitter, my twitter notifications are filled with them doing the “Seven” challenge. So i decided to join the Seven challenge myself (kind of lol)…

Doing 7 push ups per day wont do much for me so instead ill try and lose 7kg (15 pounds) in 30 days or as long as it might take. Thats a pretty difficult challenge to do while keeping healthy but its not impossible since i have already done it a year ago. (lost a bit under 15kg in around 2 months) Ill also try and increase my bench press by 70 kg. (A year ago i benched around 150kg or 330 pounds and today i did a 5×3/ 80kg.)

So i have 2 sevens present. haha. I think thats symbolic enough.

So here are some numbers…

On 22.5.2019:

Weight: 128kg (282 pounds)
Height: 198cm (6 ft 5)
Bench press: 80 kg (176 pounds)

GOAL:

Weight: 121kg (266 pounds)
Height: 205 cm (6 ft 7)
Bench press: 150 kg (330 pounds)

To make it more juicy im going to share my “shame” now. Haha. A gym, day 1 selfie. I would have taken my shirt off but the man titties arent a pretty sight. lol

Ill see you guys and

Keep on exercising!

I live this... It was so easy to stay in shape when I was younger. Now trying to turn my keg back into a six-pack is a major undertaking.

You actually lose weight much faster then you can gain it. At least thas my case. Problem is... I didnt really do much in the last year 😀

Yeah, I went from a full keg to a pony keg within a couple of months. It's a grind to get back to a six-pack though.
