Rs - Con's 2016 Challenge

been quiet last few weeks, but not blown it like I usually would so all progress has been kept, sort of.

Fell off structured eating, just got busy with other projects etc, but kept monitoring bodyweight. Went down to 99.4 and sort of stayed there, even though I was just eating whatever.

So I said to myself if I noticed it going back up, I'd snap back into action. Last friday it went up to just under 100kg - so I'm back on restricted eating again. Kinda forgot where I'd got to with food intake, plus haven't been training, so started off the same way I did at the beginning of this - just majorly restricted - until I get a handle on it again. Then I'll go from there. It worked before, it should work again!

Going to start my 3x weekly walks as of today, and might start super simple stripped back training - just two sessions per week, upper one, lower the other, one exercise per bodypart. This is more because I've noticed my aches and pains all getting drastically worse the last 2ish weeks and I'm guessing its mostly through inactivity.

Around the same time I drifted off plan, I also forgot, then kept forgetting, to take that small GH dose, maybe that is playing a factor in the niggles getting worse - so that is back in as of yesterday too, same as before, 12iu vial (allegedley) split over monday to friday.

Phase two of the machinist plan I guess lol
 
Haven't been on here in ages, but nothing really to report with relation to the journal. I still haven't balooned back up which I'm happy about, but I have softened a bit at around the same weight I'm estimating. Just sort of treading water.

I left the gym as it was doing my head in watching folk training, making good progress, while any time I tried to put in a graft I'd be on stupid doses of codeine with a fortnight, made worse by fact that I did actually have an OK physique at one point. So decided enough is enough, not doing that with the wee fella on the go, and made a total pull back. Not going to even consider a "come back" to weights until the new year.

Just now I am concentrating on a bit more walking, more stretching/mobility - and finally got some airsoft gaming happening which is phenomenal exercise. Already noticing improvement in my back, but its a long road obviously!!

How are all you other wankers getting on :D

Gotta do what's right For you mate, hopefully with proper mobility work on a daily basis you can get to a place were you can train again.

Train? Havent you heard he's gonna upgrade to yatcht in Marbella. The man can't be bothered with training like you peasants.
 
Well still nothing to report RE training, and my eating is terrible - not that I'm stuffing my face, just not eating much and when I do its crap like cuppa soups and bread - just no motivation to sort proper food, just want quick and easy... plus no appetite anyway!

So with not a lot left to the year, my experiment is probably about done, it has been useful to me, got a lot of shit weight off rapid in the earlier part (and although undoubtedly put a little back on, I'm nowhere near the state I was), got blood pressure the best its ever been in my adult life - and while I've fell away from training more or less completely since July-ish, I've gotten involved in organised airsoft gaming which I've wanted to do for years, got a youtube channel up and running which I've also wanted to do for years (I'm shit, but should get better in time and be useful to some folk) - so overall, this year has been productive IMO. And, I've a sort of background note in my mind to start training/structured eating again in some form come the New Year so all is not lost on that front :)

Cheers mate. I'm going to make a concerted effort to log in here at least once every day from now on - might not say much time depending, and I don't really have any input right now that is going to help anyone here re weights/bodybuilding - but like I say, I do have plans to get back to that at some point.

Will be like an Aldi version of the Levrone comeback pmsl

FUCKING BUZZING!!!

After almost 5 years, finally been referred for an MRI!!!!

Legs went out from under me again yesterday and back felt like it was going to spasm up like it did way back then, was shitting myself - nearly fell on top of the kid when it went, zero warning.

Anyway @W33BAM basically frog marched me to the doctors, but a different one from that arsehole before. I'll be honest, I didn't expect much having lost all faith due to the way I was patronised and dismissed before... but no! This guy listened, and with no hesitation after a quick exam stated that in his opinion an MRI was 100% warranted to find out exactly what is going on here. Said he can't garauntee they will give me one, but is writing a really supportive referral letter and is reasonably confident I should get one.

First bit of hope in a few years, nearly half a decade I've had this going on - I don't prattle on about it as much as @Con :lol: but this has been pretty debilitating at times. And, with the amount of times I've tried to get back to some kind of training, only to have to stop shortly after because the painkillers usage to keep functional has got out of control (and I'm not talking paracetamol here)... well that amount of repeated failure takes its toll on a person.

So yeah, a happy way for me to enter the last weeks of this @cons 2016 challenge - I just hope whatever they find is "fixable" - but even if it isn't, a proper diagnosis and understanding of what is happening is better than a boot in the baws, at least I won't be left in limbo!!!

Absolutely delighted, tired of hobbling about like an 80 year old especially (and I don't mean this big headed) having been at a decent level of physique at one time.

I know

Look, I take some responsibility for not pushing as hard as I could have the last 2 or so years - but I'm not going to beat myself up about it. As many here who "know" me from posts over the years and on UKM before this, I've always been open about my mental health issues... so with the way I was treated, coupled with that... I'm not going to feel bad that it put me in the hole for some time, and made me feel like "what is the fucking point".

But yeah, I could have pushed earlier after the first couple of years was wasted... cest la vie.

Just hope they find something that explains the issues, and fingers crossed it is fixable to some degree. Who knows, could maybe get back to some smart training - sans pain meds - once again, never too late!
