Cheers haha, no longer in that shape anymore tho. but am proud to have gotten to that stage ontop of comedowns, drinking shite loads of booze and a fairly crap diet. used to take alot of supplements, was naieve... theyre bollocks compared to a decent diet. i'd agree weight loss is 20% exercise and 80% diet, building muscle though i'd say 50/50
I know how you feel, Dan. I've been there... All toned n thus but, without saying much on this site, I found out more stuff about my ex, and it almost destroyed me stress-wise.... I continued exercising to escape it all but had a slip disc which became agonising... Then giving codeine, which first day (took two 30/500) reminded me of the diamorphine I'd had during labour, I was psychologically hooked from that day - I don't give a damn which anyone says...
Thinking I was superhero, I continued doing Insanity (even have the T-Shirt), P90X, running etc and tried to balanced both world... Which, to be honest, is why I should not have been too harsh on Raas when he took his Heroin, as he's admitted to the forum (so I'm not betraying trust here) he's a lot going on... I should have tried to be a bit more understand of his situation instead of judging him...
Where was I? in some ways, I think this is my karma.... for years after having my little one, I'd sit along seeing all my friends on FB going out and I'd think all these bitter thouhts like "well they'll get liver damage from alcohol poisoning while I'll be all nice and fit," so I think this may be my punishment for those nasty thoughts...
Sorry I've gone on again, but seriously Dan, if you ever want that again, you can get it.... I am trying everything I can to get back to that life but the cravings for drink and suboxone are absolutely phenomenal and I'm not sure how to supass them and become the person I once was (hang on, I think I've contradicted myself!)
I seen your pic and I had a lot of admiration for you (I would say that without drink) I know how long it takes, my brother has taken absolutely YEARS to get into shape,,, he trains six days a weeks (though he's a bloody stubborn person - I tell him how to work his core with the breathing etc and he's like "I know how to work my core!" yet he's a LOT of back problems, so he clearly doesn't - but my brother is stubborn LOL)...
Evey
