Hey guys. I used to post here long ago as a kid, under username MANOWAR. Got into a dead/squat/bench routine and grew big very quickly, made amazing gains. I continued to workout and up my lifts, deadlifted max 335 sometime around early 07 (I remember cuz it was the best time of my life, 11th grade, was having sooo much fun, everyone else were studying their asses off for SATs but I was having the time of my life), then called it the quits. My social life got crazy, consisted of being out ALL the time and eating shit ALL the time, so I stopped lifting, and I also stopped eating meat randomly after watching those animal cruelty videos (I know, boycotting meat doesn't make a different, animals will die regardless, the problem is not consumers but industrial capitalism, I know but I still don't feel like eating meat that often). Because of that, I ate shit (cheese, starbucks, etc.) and lost all my muscle, but all my fat too. From 170 180ish came down to 130. I also ran sometimes, but I lost lots of weight, and I was happy with myself. I was a little flabby but really small, and it felt great, I realized I didn't like being big. Wore size XS (I'm 5'4" 5'5") and 28 waist jeans, felt awesome! Even those tight ass European style brands (H&M) fit great.
Then college came, and eventually all the crap I ate got to me. I took it next level, I had the time of my life in highschool, didn't do any work, hardly learned anything. By first semester of college I started taking school seriously, I loved my classes n professors n spent almost all day studying and reading. Because of that, n all the stress from college, I took shit eating next level (I got to school in the city, so I'd have Starbucks like 3 times a day). And from then on I destroyed by body. During 12th grade I was 130, now it's my fourth semester in college and I'm 183. A few weeks ago I was 196 (PURE fat, no muscle at all, so literally I think certified obesity).
So I've destroyed my body through horrible eating habits. Now it's pay back, I really want to get in shape by next semester, 6 pack n everything. I'm only 5'4nthree quarters (legally 5'5" WOO) so my goal is 130lbs. I don't want to be big or muscular, just HEALTHY, I want to be in shape. I want to be able to do a 7-8 minute mile, and be able to do handstands, pullups easily, etc. Just want to be skinny and healthy, I have no care for lifting or strength or muscles.
I thought coming back here would be good motivation. I feel like a journal is a big help to me, not only helps me keep track but gives me goals, and with a journal I can see progress. This journal isn't to get attention or comments but just for me to keep track, I need to sustain motivation cuz I give up quickly.
There used to be so many awesome people who gave me great encouragement on my old journal, Mulligan, Adidas, TMan, ANGRY, Winter (old highschool friend, haven't seen him in a while!), everyone else, hope you're all doing well, hope you're all still here too !!
So here's where I am. The last 2 weeks I've been vegan, fully vegan. For the last 2 months I've been partly vegan (vegan 75% of the time, and the rest eating shit, like brownies quesidillas burritos etc).
From 196 I came down to 185. I'm hoping to lose 4 pounds a week, going all out. I tried working out a few times, but left me sore for days since it's been so long.
It's wierd, when I was 15 (oh yeah when I posted here I was 15 I lied about my age lol) I was deadlifting in the 200s n 300s. Now I'm 19 and I struggle with the bar, ouchhhh funny how times have changed
My goal is again 130.
I've been doing elliptical 5 times a week for 300-600 callorie workouts (according to the machine display).
Ill post my diet as well as routines in a few mins !
