I might take more active participation later in time, when my training kicked up a few steps. Currently I am on my way to gain back a bit more control over my body after a longer period of illness and its really not that exciting, only sad to watch. Give me some more weeks

im trying to lose a few pouds and get fit
I used to be a gym dude back then, sadly i got lost in my food world
I am dealing with massive things in my life now. I am no longer a personal trainer,
And I havent worked out in like 6 months.
I will be honest with you I havenât even got out my house in like over a week.
I only get out to go shopping and then I lock my self back in my house.
In the past 6 months probably I hot out of my house like 30 times only LOL anywayâŚ
I think this is what they call the Dark Night Of The Soul.
So I am at the point where I am fighting this tooth and nail.
This is my battle that i need to fight alone.
If I make it out of this shit hole I will get back in the gym.
And I will start posting here and become more active on BALG forum.

I wish you the best and for you to get through it, doing the best you can one day at a time 
Went through the dark night of the soul not long ago, the highlight of this was a suicide attempt. Doing better but some days it feels like Iâm still in that state somehow.
There are days when the only productive thing youâll do is just breathing through the day, and thatâs ok.

Its hard to get out of the house anymore when you lose the confidence , im trying to be a new version of me
Im sure you will make out of it and get back in the gym
What motivated me was those youtube recommendation of motivational gym videos finally the youtube algorithm is somewhat useful

This is not an easy fight for sure.
Funny thing is, gym helped me actually. For a long time I would spend all my days in bed, and at night I would go to the gym for a few hours. It was the only place I could push myself to go.

Sucks I canât afford gym anymore or transportation to it
Since no one is posting im Gonna take it over from here
Let me tell you something you already know. The world ainât all sunshine and rainbows. Itâs a very mean and nasty place and I donât care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ainât about how hard ya hit. Itâs about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. Thatâs how winning is done! ~ rocky

Incant afford gym membershipâŚ
But my genetics are so good even after a year I am still look like I lift weights.
Once this dark night of the soul is gone and I get back into it, with in a couple of weeks I look like I never stopped hitting the gym, itâs the muscle memory that the body remembers.
However now I am training my mind and soul.
With meditation and practicing soul travel and energy work.
I started working out at home this year in January 6th, itâs going well all my lifts skyrocketing, I never thought Iâd get big , only wanted to be healthy and I will do a ritual soon to be consistent with working out !!
