Au debut
Two Friday’s ago, I injured my lower back and the workout has been very minimum.
Let’s hope that I can push and lift more normal weights this week.
AND!
After 2 weeks of dieting, I’ve lost about 2 kg and a little over 1% of body fat on my electric scale.
Let’s see how it comes out on the pinch test ????

Felt good after the workout today. Usual crowd seems to come back now that the traffic gets better. Let’s hope the week goes like this.
Tuesday – Weight Training
We did pinch test this morning to see the result of the diet.
AND my body fat has gone down to 12.2% from 14$???? This is a massive result and I’m legit happy about it.
Now that I got the first goal of the year, we are onto the next one: To gain more muscle mass. We decided to target 5lbs of muscle mass to gain. Eric will be working on the diet and supplement plans this week and we will start from the next week.
I’m super happy this morning.

OMG‼️ Eric really told me it would be hard and painful. He wasn’t lying. I did find the training very hard. I haven’t been training with significant weight for a while so my arms gave away too quickly. I will need a few days of these training and get used it. But I felt sooo good!

GOOD session, it was this morning! Felt good with that many squats and Leg Extension and onto Leg Press to finish the sess. My legs will be sore tomorrow ???? But that’s alright. No pain. No Gain‼️
Notes to me-self
It was a good week of training.
Although I’m having a rough time at work.
One of my friends asked me why I continue to train like this.
Getting up early in the morning, pushing myself to be in better shape etc.
As I tried to compose my answer, it dawned on me.
I would lose my shit if I wasn’t doing this.
Me training in the morning, making goals and keeping the routine is my life clutch.
I’m holding onto this small thing that I can control and feel good about it.
Because all else is shit?
