Back In The Swing Of Things

G’morning Y’all,

How is everyone? I haven’t been logged in for a few years now so I figure I’ll give you guys an update, here it goes…I’m fat again! To be honest, in my eyes I was never skinny before but now I’m fat.

For those of you who don’t know me/ are new to the forums/ or forgot I existed, I am 23 years old, 6’7 and at my lowest I weighed 208 and wasn’t lookin’ bad. My fitness path slowed due to my mother needing wheel chair help. Every morning I took her to work, dropped her off, I went to work, got off and had to pick her up. Ultimately pushing my entire schedule out of whack.

I am a firm believer in Newton’s law “An object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion stays in motion” Once we got my mother into the house after work, I would sit and after that it was all over. I slowly stopped hitting the gym, I prioritized making dinner and it rarely healthy. Needless to say, I fell out of routine and that was all she wrote.

Now I am 23YO 6’7 and weighing in at big 260.2 I dislike it. I feel uncomfortable and it’s going to change. In one of my previous posts I asked what everyone used their fitness for, sports/ yard work/ every day health the body needs. I started playing paintball at 10, I stopped around 16 due to it costing so much. Within the past year I have picked it back up and am playing competitive.

Competitive paintball is no joke. Its fast paced, strategic and you get to shoot people. A major thing I want to focus on this time around is my cardio vascularity, my running speed and my confidence. My couch says I’m built like a Minecraft character. I’m blocky, robotic, my hips are locked into a certain way and I just don’t flow like others. I don’t have the confidence to dolphin dive onto the floor, I think it’s because I’m just so high up.

I will be jumping on the Kizen program and i will post my workout screenshots in my next post. I want to focus on getting my cardio in more. I am moving in the beginning of September to a very hilly place and want to take advantage of running up and down hills. I will keep try to keep everyone updated as to how the program/weight loss/ and team stats are.

Good luck with everything!

I’m looking forward to seeing your result, as I’ve not seen anyone on the Kizen program as of yet.

Competitive paintball sounds awesome! I can see why it would be a bit daunting diving on the ground when you’re as tall as you are.

@samvariation thanks man! I hope to see results quickly. When i get off work I’ll stop by your thread and see how you’re going…I’ll post a screenshot of my numbers for the Kizen spreadsheet (they are anything impressive)

Well, speak of the devil. At practice yesterday I had a teammate dolphin dive and broke his nose. We think he might’ve hit a rut and his barrel jabbed the ground making his tank go up under his mask and into his nose. He went to the ER, the rest of us continued playing. We have a tournament September 28th and 29th so I really want to focus on my cardio. It’s a fun layout, I know not many care about paintball but I’ll keep updates going.

I’ve got back today and some probably hamster wheel action after.
