Benji's Journal

Benj · 02-06-2004, 11:36 PM

Well, I've been a slack tart for the last month!! I aint been to the gym for 2 weeks and i've not eaten properly for the last month, as in going days without eating.

ops:

So here goes i'm hoping making a journal will help me with the diet and training, unfortnally I now have to go to the gym on my own, So I probablly will skip sessions as i don't like doing anything on my own!

I think Im going to stick to the same workouthttp://www.musclechat.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=247 Just going to have to change some of the exercises to machines

Im currently 9st1lb

ops: and 6"0'

Hi benj, like you i have been MIA for the last month or two my routine has fallen apart, but like the single minded self disciplined,bastard that i am, i am determined that all my hard work i have put in in the earlier part of the year, will not go to waste, i am on 1 day at a time for the next 2 weeks and this will slowly bring my diet back in to full swing and feeling better about myself again, then its time to take off but as i said the exercise will have to be started slowly as well otherwise it will all go down the pan again, but i WILL do it. I know you can sort it to benj you have made an impact on the forum and you know yourself that you are letting yourself down, if you dont we are all here to support everyone, and i think a support forum on the board would be a great addition, any thoughts guys please feel free to pick any holes you like.

Dave.

Cheers for the support Dave, it really did motivate me, seems that you've been going through a rougher time than me and if you can do it, theres no reason why I can't.

Going away to download festival this weekend, then I got exams as soon as I get back, as soon as all thats over, Im going to get back into the gym and the diet!

We're humans, not machine. Everyone has an off week (month

) now and again.

Accept that you'll go off the rails now and again and don't beat yourself up over it.

Focus positive energy into getting back on track - good luck

I agree mutley, unfortunately as i have mild autism aspergers syndrome, my routine means more than some to me which in turn, seems to **** me up, if it goes to pot, it's almost robotic not meaning to be rude but at times in my position its better to look at things from the machine point of view even though i am not.

Otherwise its excellent advice to stop going stale a break can work wonders. The only thing people must have is the drive motivation, and the sheer self discipline, to pick up where they left off, otherwise the results they gained with the hard work and blood sweat and tears will be lost.

Mate I totally agrre with you. I have hardly been training for about 3 weeks now - eating junk aswell. I just can not get motivated when it is sunny outside (I train in a traditional gym with lots of metal and no air con!)

I think I may have another month off and then start back properly.

Good luck to you though and keep this post updated!

themule · 04-06-2004, 07:10 PM

hey mark, it is hard but i am sticking to 1 day at a time, sounds very corny but it will work, of that i have no doubt, just wait till it starts pissing with rain then youll run like hell back to the gym. Ill keep you posted on how tings are going.
