    Health Journal

    Hello all,

    Newbie here. 28 year old male 174cm tall. I started weightlifting when I was 16 as a skinny fat kid (~70kg). I started with workouts based around "Starting Strength" and "Stronglifts". I continued on and off for a few years and at one stage got to what I'd consider my most fit stage around age 22 (2014) when I was 78-80kg with visible 4 pack abs.

    After 2014, I started losing some of my habits of eating clean and started my hospital training as a doctor. I started working 5-6 days sometimes 7 days per week, with shift work being common place. I shifted a lot of my focus towards making money amongst other things... I ended up gaining almost 4-5kg every year with most of it being fat.

    Finally, as of 4th May 2020, I am:
    96kg
    Waist 105cm

    I have always been fairly "strong". My back squat (ATG) was usually around 120-130kg for sets of 5. My bench was up to 100kg for a set of 5. My deadlift was up to 180-190kg. However, I now realise my number 1 priority is HEALTH. I don't really care how strong I can get or how much muscle I can pack on. I literally just want to be at a healthy BMI and bodyfat percentage and reduce my chances of diabetes (which runs in my family) and heart disease. I believe this would basically be achievable if i can get back to a weight of approximately 80kg.

    The purpose of this journal is to help keep myself accountable. I want to make steady slow progress in order to create a lifestyle that I can actually comfortably live, rather than "yoyo" out of.

    I believe diet is 90% of the work when it comes to losing fat. I want to start by being more aware of what I put in my body everyday. Thus, my first commitment is to journal exactly what I eat everyday. I will then reassess every 2 weeks to see what changes I can implement. I will log my weight, waist measurement, and a photo (private) once per week every tuesday as a means to track my progress. I will continue to do some resistance training (mainly bodyweight exercises at home now) and some HIIT (sprints at the park).

    I hope that by posting in a public forum it will help keep me accountable.

    Not the "healthiest" day. Did not really want to eat the sushi roll but it would go bad otherwise, and wanted to finish off the last few remaining icecreams in the freezer. I will just keep logging my food for now with no specific restrictions in mind, just to be "aware" of what I'm eating on a daily basis first.

    Week 7 - Weight 96.4kg (-0.2kg), Waist 104cm (-0cm)

    Gyms reopened so I'm beginning to go back to barbell / compound lifting. Also beginning soccer training and games again which will hopefully help my journey. In addition, aiming to reduce the snacks between 5pm-6pm (after work, before dinner) by replacing with fruit... or going to the gym during that time.

    Week 8 - Weight 97.3kg (+0.9kg), Waist 105cm (+1cm)

    I have started lifting weight again 4 days per week.. but also joined an outdoor soccer team playing 3 days per week. Also started rockclimbing 2-3 days per week. I believe the gain in weight is due to water weight in my muscles. I have replaced a lot of the unhealthy snacks I had with fruits like blueberries and strawberries.

    Hallo there. Keep it up!

    Just gonna throw 2c in (feel free to ignore it)

    Looks like you are bouncing around quite a fair bit. I personally prefer not to track calories and just keep a 'mental tally' of my intake with estimates, however if you are seeing this kind of yo-yoing around a certain point it might be time to start considering tracking your calories and being a little more conscious of exactly how much you are eating. It seems like you are eating alot less on some days and then subconsciously overcompensating on others. I would suggest finding a solid calorie goal and trying to hit it as consistantly as you can. This hopefully will improve your consistancy and avoid any days that are 'too low', thereby avoiding subsequent days that are 'too high'.

    Also I tend to weigh myself every day as it allows me to spot trends amongst water fluctuation. Weighing once a week leaves you vulnerable to a random fluctuation on your weigh day, leaving you no real idea of your progress or lack of compared to last week.

    Will be subbing, good luck!

    Thanks a lot Alex. Yes i have been considering trying to "pre-organise" my meals ahead of time so that it's more consistent on a daily basis in terms of calories. I'm thinking of starting this in perhaps 2-3 weeks time. I agree weighing weekly can cause fluctuations. I might increase to 2-3 times / week then! Thanks!

    Thanks! I'm happy with the (slow) progress! My waist has consistently gotten smaller (by 2cm). I have also noticably gotten more visibly built around my back and arms as i started rock climbing 3 days per week for the past 1.5 months. So things are doing good at the moment. Have started to weigh myself a bit more regularly but still not yet at the point of calculating my meal calories yet though.

    co-habitting is the death of many diets lol!

    Keep it steady! You still seem to be fluctuating through a cycle of around 2kg either way. Try and be consistent and stop the snacking!

    Thanks. Agreed need to keep it going Esp with snacking. I've tried to replace my snacking with something a bit better - eg. Strawberries / blueberries.

    Managed to shed another cm off the waist and people around me have commented that I look slimmer. Quite happy!
