Get Fit: The Beginning

~ THE BEGINNING ~

I'm doing it! I'm finally fucking doing it. I'm so sick of feeling like I have to cover up my torso in vids, photos and cam. I'm going to throw my all into:-

  • Losing the flab
  • Eating healthier
  • and building muscle

Plans are already set in motion to getting me fit and enjoying the process. Now... if you've seen my gallery I know what you might be thinking, "Petnax... what the fuck are you on about? You call that fat!? You're not fat." and as much as I would appreciate those words, let me explain.

I know I'm not obese or even what some would consider to be typically "fat" BUT I am skinny fat. Weirdly I'm the lightest I've been in many maaaany years sitting at 148.4 lbs (10 st 8 lb) at the time of writing this but it's not healthy, I'm not healthy but I WILL be.

Last year I got really into my fitness. I was thoroughly enjoying it too. The following photo was me at my best. It's not Greek God type body but for me I was loving watching my body change. (Ignore the fact I have no hair on my tummy... let's just say I got over confident and thought I could pull off the shaven look. Ended up looking like a dickhead but I digress)

I was starting to beef up a bit whilst getting some definition...

DISASTER STRUCK

Food poisoning. Yup, I fucking poisoned myself with either the chicken breast or the salmon I was eating everyday. Man I was bed ridden too, not just for a couple of days ooooooh no... I don't do things by halves.... we're talking an entire week of night sweats, Migraines, shivering, vomiting, shitting, you get the idea.

It wasn't my will power that stopped me carrying on, I can't explain it. My appetite was just... gone, my energy levels crashed and my flow was completely ruined. So it ended.


BUT!

Here I am again and I'm feeling it. Oh boy am I ready! My next couple of posts are going to be outlining my nutrition (which I've already worked out and having delivered tonight), my measurements and exercise routine. I thought where better to record my journey than LPSG. Even If I'm just chatting into the void it doesn't matter :)

I only have a vid of my belly as it stands right now. This is my starting point.

Good luck, I already know you will achieve it as you have the drive and determination, most important is that you are doing it because you want to and not because of what anyone has said or because they want you to do it.
 
Thank you @Mousehunter23 , I really appreciate your kind words. It was what someone had said to me but maybe in another blog post I'll explain what spurred me on. I am ultimately doing it for myself though, thanks :)

Good luck man, am in similar position, things were really getting there but then all went to shit, so now need to get back on it. Look forward to seeing progress and inspiration, you’ll smash it
 
You look fantastic but if you don’t feel it, that’s important too. Good luck on the journey! I’ll look forward to seeing progress
 
Seems like we are motivated by the same astrology; the commitment you made is the same I made recently. I was just not happy whit how I look in a number of bathing suits I tried on in advance of the coming season.

I completely understand and fully relate to your struggle. I often use the stream of photos of beautiful young and extremely fit men on my Instagram feed as daily inspiration to stay on track with my exercise and diet goals.
 
Yeah exactly, I hate how clothes fit on me now. No offence to skinny people but I hate feeling like I have fuckin' noodles for arms.

Loads of people complaining that lockdown has made them put ON weight (and I was one of them initially) but actually it's done the opposite and just ate away at my muscle and left me skinny-fat if that makes sense.
 
I am one of you big admirers and yes, I don't think you're fat HOWEVER... you gotta be where you feel comfortable. I have been restarting every day as well. I went running a few months ago and then I fell and damaged my arm so bad that I just can't run now but I will start over and get where I need to be comfortable. Its good you're sharing this as it encourages me and many others. Good luck! We'll be paying attention.
 
Good for you, man! Stay positive. Consistency is key.

About six years I went from about 270 to my current 180-185. I kick myself for not having taken care of myself years ago. The weight loss is great but I have some loose skin and residual fat deposits around my belly I can't get rid of. I try to consider them battle scars now. I'll never go back to the way I used to be. Working out is a great stress reliever.

Like you mentioned you strayed away from photos and camming, and since I've found this site, I've found myself enjoying the cam thing more and more. Posts like this, and oddly enough, the feedback I've gotten from cam sessions has encouraged me to really push myself and try to stay in shape. I look forward to hear/see how you're coming along. Good luck!
 
@artboyd Yeah 100%! You can do it!

I personally would rather drag my balls through glass than go running lol but that's me. If that's what you like to do then I will absolutely cheer you on when you get back at it. And you will.

One day at a time. Let yourself heal and then don't let it stop you doing what you love.

Thanks for your comment x
 
@CosgoodCreeps That's an awesome story and I'm sure there's way more to it since a paragraph wouldn't do your hard work justice.

Although our goals are/were different they both take dedication and you've definitely thrown even more fuel onto my fire. I'm glad you think of them as battle scars because they're physical proof of your determination and sheer will to make a change.

Yeah people here have given me a lot of confidence too. Thousands and thousands of comments and not a bad word said in any of them. Does wonders for someone's self-esteem.

Thanks for your comment. A joy to read.
 
@4202HHN Pahaha! That made me proper laugh out loud.

I'll try not to lol just a bit of muscle under him to keep him perky as I hurtle towards my 40's at a million miles an hour.
 
You're in the same shape as me dude, although I think I have a few years on you. I'm pretty happy with most of me but this lockdown stomach that's crept up on me is really bugging me, especially now Spring is here. So, hot as you are, do what you have to do to get yourself how you want yourself and know you're spurring me on to do the same.
 
Thank you very much. I certainly want to try my best and I love how it's spurring you on to do the same.
 
Dam I remember the first time I found I couldn't squeeze into 30" 501's, thought that was it. Over the years I floundered about a bit, complacency didn't help and then serious time kicked in and I, as they say, took myself in hand. Got down to my present wight some 20 years ago and have remained constant to within a pound or two. Biggest upset was when I lost my pert butt and the weight moved forwards. Again though once it moved it stayed and as long as I can look down and see my assets I'm happy. As for gym and running and all that, I see guys out now, younger than me, bigger than me pounding the pavement and sweating profusely, all pain and not gain, gone to far before they got the message. In any case those that use exercise to keep trim can never stop, don't see my dotage spent sweating on a rowing machine, as long as I still have grip in my right hand I'll get the only one on one exercise I need. Petnax, you look amazing
