Getting back on a track

[Baster]

Hi everyone!

I have started this thread as my log, of getting back to bodyweight workouts.

Exactly 1 month ago I had an operation of my belly, and now, when the pain is gone I need to get back to activity.
So I decided to start over, and start slowly, being much overweight.
My choice fell on Vitality.
So today I did day 1 of it, and.... I feel good
The hardest part is to keep low pace, getting slowly back in shape.

But I know it's possible.
I'm excited to be here once again.

So today is another day of my training.

I needed one day off, so I just went for a walk yesterday.
After 1st day of Vitality I had a little pain in my belly. It's because my wounds after the operation are not completely healed yet.

But after one lighter day yesterday, I did good training of my arms today, and it was:

Vitality day 2 - 3 sets, under 1min rest between sets.
Baseline day 1 - 3 sets, 1.5-2min rest between sets.


I have few main goals right now:

1. Lose 7kg - that's just the first step of losing weight, because to get my ideal, I need to lose much more, but I don't want to write it here yet.
2. Be active for 30 days straight - the counter starts at 1.01.2025
3. Go to sleep before 10pm, and sleep min. 7 hrs
4. Stop eating min. 3hrs before going to sleep.

I know those are silly steps... In fact they are just basics. That's why I need to repair my foundation before proceeding further.

I already gave up on drinking any kind of alcohol, and haven't drink any kind of it since 30.12.2023. So it is already a year and I'm very proud of myself, now it's time to go further.

Peace y'all

I already gave up on drinking any kind of alcohol in 2024, and I'm very proud of myself, now it's time to go further.

That is a significant accomplishment!

I have three goals right now:
1. Lose 7kg - that's just the first step of losing weight, because to get my ideal, I need to lose much more, but I don't want to write it here yet.
2. Be active for 30 days straight
3. Go to sleep before 10 and sleep 7 hrs
4. Stop eating min. 3hrs before going to sleep.

And these are really good next steps.

We will be here to cheer you on!

Today's update is not positive, because I had little belly pain, and my physician said, I should give up on trainings for next month.

So it is, I need a little longer break to get my wounds completely healed. But in the meantime I'm gonna walk. I can't do much more now

 

[Maegaranthelas]

Oh that's frustrating! But walking is very good, I hope you have some nice places to walk to

This may be silly to mention, but have you considered one of the walking challenges? We can probably find and post a few suggestions to help you out.

Sure I did.

I've found some of them, but I don't want to start any challenge right now, because I'm going back to work next week. After over a month pause, I need some time to get used to that kind of "activity" at first
But yeah, I was thinking of it. Even though here where I live is always rainy in that time of year, I can try to walk on a treadmill in a gym near my house

Ugh, sorry to hear this. I second what others have said: walking challenges are a great idea. Be patient and let your body heal, and get outside for a walk when you can.
