Surprise surprise!
Well, color me surprised. I just weighed myself, since its Monday, and I was very pleased to see that I had dropped 6.2lbs last week. I wasnt expecting this at all, and on the contrary, I was expecting a GAIN, because Ive cheated in my diet like crazy this week and also didnt exercise for two days in a row due to my sisters hospital stay.
So now, Im close to breaking the 200lbs line and venture into the 100s again for the first time in years.
Theres still much work to do with my body, but the weight loss is step one of my plan and its working out pretty well so far. After I reach an acceptable weight and level of bodyfat, Ill start lifting again and slowly start growing some much needed muscle.
The lil girly push-ups Ive been doing have helped, since now I can at least perform ONE well-made normal push-up. Im getting stronger somehow.
A few months from today, I will get that power cage Ive been wanting for so long, and then Ill finally be ready for some good, hardcore lifting. Luckily, I also have access to two different cardio machines that I use on a daily basis, and when I combine cardio with lifting, I hope it will make a huge difference in my body.
I dont know where Ill get the energy for both things tho, since just doing cardio nowadays kicks my ass and is so hard. But Ill be damned if I let the medication-induced exhaustion win! It sucks to have the motivation for exercising but your body doesnt respond because its in a permanent state of exhaustion from all the meds. I still fight it somehow and manage to exercise daily, but its very hard.
Anyway, you all have a great day and keep fighting to achieve those goals!
