I had a lot of success previously with weight loss. I had moved away from home and lived with some of my relatives from my mothers side of the family because I was finding it difficult to find work where I lived. Whilst I was there I lost a lot of fat and was in great shape. I did many things. I jogged, lifted weights, grappled and boxed. Previously before I moved I had been in good shape but not as good as the time I was away from home. When I came back home every one was impressed. I felt really good.
When I moved back home, after a while I got out of shape but slimmed down into reasonable shape as I got a job and was motivated to go to the gym. I lost this job due to the economic standings at the time. I can still remember walking to the bus stand telling myself not to get down and depressed then I put my mp3 player on and a sad song played. The lyrics "What I sacrificed, Being in your life, I'm walking blind, One step behind, Torn apart, I'm all worn out". I guess this triggered the depression I would go through.
The inability to find a permanent job took a toll on me. Any effort I made could not match the effort I made in 2007 back when everything was looking so good. But recently I had a 8 week stint of training which included weight lifting and jogging. It began to snow so I couldn't jog outside and my gym unfortunately did not have a treadmill. So I stopped jogging and only lifted weights but after a little while I stopped lifting weights and my diet went back to junk food.
Now I have made the decision to change and get into good shape so I can move on with my life and stop looking at the past success I had. My plan is to jog. I want to start off jogging 2 miles each jog 4 times a week then after a few weeks jog 4 miles per session and hopefully build enough stamina to be able to jog 6 miles per session. I've realised from the past that cardio and a good diet is the main thing that burns fat. For this reason I will stop doing weight training so that I can get used to jogging and build consistence in my cardio.
I've come here to talk to people who know what I’m going through. I hope you can show me support.
Thank you.
