Picking up the ball.

[sodapop]

Well, after months of hard work, I went to Michigan over the summer for a month. With no gym in my price range up there and a limited supply of money to buy food - and, of course, these are just excuses - and a lack of commitment, I stopped working out and eating right. Now, here I am, 2 months or so after getting back from Michigan, 17 pounds lighter, restarting the building process.

Yeah, I dropped the ball, and I almost didn't even start a new journey here, 'cause I'm ashamed that I let it go this far. But, I've gotta man the fuck up and get back in the gym. So...

My first real day back in the gym was today, and I'm starting Wendler's 5/3/1, for Bench, Squat, and DL.

Here was the workout:

Squat - 140x5, 150x5, 160x15 (failure), drop to 95lbs, 5x10
Leg Curls - 5x10 @ 60lbs

So, Friday, I'll be doing Bench, and Sunday Deadlift.

I'll be tracking my daily diet here, so as to leave no room for mistakes.

Starting Weight: 103 pounds
Previous Weight: 131 pounds
Current Weight: 117 pounds
Goal Weight: 150+ lbs

So, follow me if you want, as I restart the building process...

Everyone gets side tracked my man, the important part is that your here and you committed once again. Life is rough and it takes you on various twists and turns, but in the end its up to you to decide what direction you want to turn, we are here to help my brother.

Hows the diet looking now?
