I've caught the gym bug again

Nuggsy · 12th April 2012, 09:31 PM

Joined the gym last may, loved going at least 5 times a week and then lost my job in december so couldn't afford it.

Started a new job last month and re-joined the gym. It seems to have taken me ages to get back in to it, compared to when i joined last year (3 weeks of 5 times a week) even up to last weekend i was looking for excuses not to go but still got there in the end.

I don't know what's happened this week but when i'm in the gym i just want to keep going and going until i physically can't. I'm sleeping better, i'm eating better, i've packed the fags in.

Can't believe how much i look forward to going now and its me dragging my mate there instead of the other way round.

Anyone else take a while to get in to it?

It's a great feeling. Felt like that at the beginning of the year, lost a shed load of timber, then stopped now feel like a fat git again. Difficult for me to get to my gym as I work stupid hours and it's at least 20 min drive away, but off work tomorrow and committed to going. Problem is the lad I go with works off shore 2 weeks on/2 weeks off, so we hammer it for the 2 weeks, then leave it for two weeks, so rarely get anywhere fast

Cant say I really look forward to it, but it's become a lifestyle now. If I didn't go I'd feel like I was missing out on something.

I lost 3 clem last year, was 20 to start with

Put a bit on over christmas then lost it again between then and now but i'm not really looking at my weight now to be honest.

Going to the gym with 2 lads who are bang in to their weights so doing the same workouts as them and then doing as much cardio as i can afterwards. Not really dropping any weight because of the weights sessions but should hopefully start seeing a change in shape pretty soon

Thats what i was like towards the end of last year. It's taken me weeks now to get back in to that mentality
