Update on how it's going for me... The new routine is good (pretty brutal though) and have noticed distinct improvement in muscles already.
Because its loads harder it's making me lots hungrier and i've been eating some of the rubbish i stopped eating before so the belly is still a bit of a problem but i'm going to get strict again after christmas as i can't turn down a beer and a buffet over christmas, it just wouldn't be right.

I appear to have dropped to page 4 so this is a mini bump and to update a little bit.
Basically the regime has gone poorly so far. I've trained every week but nowhere near as much as I'd targetted.
Christmas put a stumbling block in the works but that was expected but so far I've not got back in to it as was planned.
I've noticed that I'm not as motivated to train as I used to be although I really enjoy every session that I do.
This tells me that my mind is not in training mode. The fact that I enjoy it should mean that it's not a chore to get to the gym but thus far it has been.
So I've come to the conclusion that this is now a mental excercise rather than a physical one. I have been in a bad place mentally recently. Nothing overly stressful or dangerous, I've just had a lot on and I've not been myself.
I have been telling myself that I'm lazy for not going to the gym. This has made me program my mind to think that I'm a lazy person. This in turn has made me more lazy and unable to get back to the gym. I have also managed to convince myself that I am always tired and that I can't sleep very well. This has programmed my mind to think that I am a tired person who can't get to sleep at night. My poor brain must wonder what has happened to the body that it used to run.
I am now in a position to get myself back to the way I was a few years ago. Everything was easy back then and everything fitted in to place and there is no physical reason why I can't get back to that same place now.
So I've recently started to sort myself out mentally. I haven't been the same way that I used to be for a long time but every day I feel better and I know that I will be back there soon.
I've had a difficult year mainly with work and doing my house up. It has caused a few financial problems which I am now putting back straight so I can focus on feeling better about everything every day.
I will update here more often as well but everything will be positive. Like I have said there is no physical reason that I can't attend the gym more often so it has to be purely mental.
The next 6 months will be very interesting for me and I'm really looking forward to it.

You'll be pleased to know that I'm going to start eating curries and drinking beer again as well. I enjoy them so I'm going to have them whilst being positive about going to the gym the next day. There is no reason that eating a curry can stop me achieving my goal. I somehow however managed to convince myself that I needed to stop doing certain things in order to get back to the gym. This is a bad way of doing this mentally. I was in effect telling myself that I am a curry eating slob who doesn't go to the gym. This programs the mind to think that way so even though I stopped eating curries my mind didn't know I had. My mind thought that I was a lazy, curry eating slob because that's what I was always telling it. This makes it almost impossible not to act like a lazy, curry eating slob because the mind is has so much power over the rest of the body. I can now eat a curry, go to bed and get a good night's sleep and feel good about it in the morning. So much better than telling myself that I'm a lazy slob just cus I've had a meal that I really enjoy. Seemples. |

Self bump.
This was obviously an epic fail and I ended up back on my lazy arse again.
Going to get back in to it in about a week.
Got a holiday from Wed to Tues but fully intend to get back on it when I get back.
GG 6 months gym membership!!!!!
