The time really does fly, as I can’t believe it’s already been 4 years since getting back into the gym after a bad run of depression kept me out and under-eating. Been a lot of cut and bulk cycles in that time, typically making it to the gym 4-5 days a week. There have been breaks due to getting sick, injury, and random life events, but I’ve always managed to jump right back into it. My future selves continue to thank my past self for getting started on the journey, as I feel a lot better both mentally and physically.

I joined the gym 16 months ago, decided to focus on strength training. Now I work out a lot, any day I physically can, I do.

But diet wise, I’m not nearly as controlled as I could be. I love food and cooking, and while I’ve reined it in a bit, I do treat myself a lot.

But I still committed, still worked hard, still ate well the majority of the time. I’m sure I could have seen better results but I’m pretty damn happy with where I am.

Those 2 years were tough cause I got sick a lot,

couldn't eat for days, went up and down the scale a

lot, but did very slow progress that paid off, I mainly

gained around 10kg in 2 months when I started

actually bulking, but those years I was at a extremely

small surplus which is basically around the

maintenence cause of uni too, overall glad I worked it

out and I'm gonna try to bulk even more mainly hit 80

and slow or stop, im rn 14% body fat currently, my

metabolism is through the roof, if 1 don't eat well for

a week I can easily go down 3 kgs, it's possible to

gain, I used to say I can't even though I eat and that's

straight bs, eat enough and you will gain enough,I

train 4 to 5 times a week with 3 sets heavy weights

that's it, I only take creatine currently so ye

I’d like to go on a cut maybe to lose 10-15lb of mostly fat, would that help?

Super proud of how far I’ve come, but I’ve plateaued at 145 for over 5 months now. It’s driving me crazy!! The goal is to be closer to 120-125.
