Weight Loss Journey

Weight Loss 1.6kg

23rd of June to 30th of June

Wednesday I was in for Muay Thai and the session was brutal. I had injured my ankle enough the night before to cause me problems even walking, but I have gotten to the point of feeling that if I am not working out I am wasting my time so I pushed through. I have a stubborn streak a mile wide and I have in the past been known to push myself without letting injuries heal.

Thursday was Systema (Russian Martial Arts) and it was a fun night, lot more fast paced then it had been over the previous weeks. Takedowns and escaping from grabs and basically incorporating everything we had been doing over the previous weeks into a practical format that seemed to make it all click together (its actually kind of fun getting thrown around a bit)

Friday I had my session with Anna at 1 and it was an upper body weights session. Lat pulls downs I am enjoying and bench press are nothing new for me. But included were inclined presses and curls with the dumb bells. Then came the part that scared me, Chin up’s. I have never been able to do a chin up in my life however instead of you standard pull up chin over the bar and back down it was modified into the cardio form that involved jumping up. This was one of the hardest sessions I had done with Anna yet and I ever got to the point of failure with the inclined press on my second time around. After I was finished I checked my ankle and it was decided I was not going to be able to do power lifting that night or Muay Thai the next day. Instead I went home and iced the ankle hoping it would be all good for Monday.

Monday came around and I have shown up for power lifting. Anna checked my ankle and decided dead lifts and squats were out for me but I could do bench press. So after a progressive warm up (starting with minimal weights on the bar and going to above you maximum) it was in for 15 minutes straight on the bench press. 40kilo’s and 60 reps later and I was exhausted. I was then straight into a session with Anna, Dumb bell and kettle bell exercises dominated the session and to finish off was push up’s  (on the knee’s to keep the pressure off my ankle) and crunch’s both normal and side. I noticed doing those that my crunches were getting easier to do.

Tuesday was a boxing session and for the most part I kept up until I was an idiot, I dropped down to a push up position without thinking and twisted my ankle again which effectively killed the session right there and then for me. After I finished that night I went into a funk, why was my body letting me down? I knew I had injuries over the years it comes from being my size and being interested in the activities I was but the ankle was a case of an old work injury.

I thought I would try something a little different this week with  my diary, While I am basically telling you what’s going on during my gym sessions not much has been said over the last few entries as to what I have been thinking and feeling. A lot of this has been down to the fact that I have been dealing with trying to get organized to start TAFE and the various problems that brings up so I haven’t had time to sit down and analyse my thoughts but I would like to from now until the end of my 3 months give you 2 sections of the diary to read a week, the first part to deal with the workouts and what I am doing in them and the second part which will be about a paragraph long on my thoughts and feelings for the week.

This week I have started to receive comments from people that I wouldn’t normally expect encouragement from, I know for myself it is not something I am used too, friends and family should always encourage you to improve yourself however for the longest time I believe I was looked on as a bit of a lost cause. While my mother was generally supportive my sister and father couldn’t care less to start with. However in the past week I have been getting signs of some changes in their attitude towards me. Even more of a boost has been comments from some of my friends who while supportive before had seen me fail time and again. In the past week alone I have gotten comments mentioning that I looked like I had lost weight and seemed happier. Most of the people making these comments have seen me over the last few months a couple of times but at least 2 hadn’t seen me in a longer time then that, one almost 6 months previously and another almost 4 years.  This perked me up a lot and pushed me out of a funk I had gotten into over dealing with other aspects of my life.
