Fight back…. …..do you?

[Ing]

What’s your story about fighting yourself back to fitness after a negative impact?

That can be an accident, a desease, or anything else, what brought you down.

I ll tell you my last, where I m just about to fight back:

Had a prolaps in summer 2022, which forced me to stop all sports for half a year.

Since about 4 months I increased my levels of training.
At the moment I m about 3 times a week in gym, mainly for usingthe treadmill. I enjoy listening to podcasts or tutorials while running.

Btw, I like running in the nature more, but I get sick , when it’s cold.

So additional 2 times climbing hall visits a week.

Of course it’s all about getting in motocross again, which I have paused now for over a year.

Ok, that’s my last fitness fight back story.

What is yours?

Here's my story (still in progress): EXECUTION - [PROGRESS THREAD] (24 y/o) Sick and cognitively impaired for 2 years... Doing the work anyway

Went from healthy, could hike 20 miles of mountains in a day, and mentally sharp to unable to walk more than 10-15 minutes, barely able to work, feeling terrible ever single day.

At my worst, I lost the ability to read because of my impaired short-term memory and could barely walk without being dizzy and nearly passing out.

This started in November 2021. I didn't make any actual progress until about 6 months ago. Still moving forward despite severe limitations. Healing very very slowly.

Last month or so, I suffered from a very bad acid reflux at my grandma's birthday dinner.

Food just wouldn't go down in my system.
I had to literally FORCE myself to throw up, or else I kept feeling like throwing up and stuck.

Got into such a panic that I got into hospital for an x-ray.

They just diagnosed me with constipation and gave me some fibre drink.
They noted my stomach was as hard as a rock.

I thought that previously I had done much to 'keep healthy' and blamed everyone else for not helping me to be fit...but eventually I realised there was always SOMETHING to be done to improve my health. No diet or exercise regime is perfect-- there will be something to touch up on.

And even if no one would accompany me to gym or buy me greens to eat...why not make myself healthy first?
Then I can go buy greens and exercise with others who don't have these things-- who might appreciate me better.

So I went and subscribed to a meal plan that provided healthy proteins with vege sides.

Loaded up on cucumbers, blueberries, tomatos, and others on a weekly basis.

Cut as much carbs as possible. Even when I chose protein-heavy meals, I do my best to avoid fried proteins.

Got more fibre drinks to continue to clear my constipation. I have been taking it daily except before days with important appointments..and will slowly scale them down to just a few days a week.

Practiced intermittent fasting...skipped breakfast and many dinners. If I did have to eat dinner, I kept it as simple as some eggs and cucumber.

Have been hitting the treadmill 3-4 days a week.
I just do a quick stroll for 40 mins- 1 hour...a mentor figure advised me to avoid sprinting like hell due to sudden deaths from cardiac issues faced even by young athletes.

Haven't found any gym buddy yet...so I just listen in on the Psalms in the background.

I haven't taken a blood test or weighed myself yet. But results did come.

The bloating in my stomach cooled down. I found my washroom rounds turning more frequent.
The acid reflux hasn't returned even though I went to a few big dinners recently with mentor-figures (with alcohol in the background).

I will stay vigilant and step up on the gym, especially when this Christmas season has me no choice but to relax the diet for the sake of loved ones.

HOT! - Fighting CV19: Please send thoughts and well wishes to Greg B (Runum)

As Greg B reported @Runum is currently in the hospital fighting some variant of Covid. Please send him some thoughts, prayers, or well wishes as he continues to fight in a medical facility, which by his reports, doesn't seem too interested in his recovery. Get well Greg, we're all rooting for...

I do something everyday to remain active. I have walked about 250 miles in 2023 with a fake leg and intend to keep going. Vertical beats horizontal everyday. Of course I fight, why would I be my own worst enemy?

We all must remain ever vigilant about our overall health. Being proactive is far easier than recovery.

Good book: The Body Keeps the score.

After I finished high school, I split wood and got my sciatica and serious back pains.
Still, I managed to go all in calisthenics, and after 2 years I went from 59kg to 75kg (78k all-time high).

As I was training chaotical, I still got back pains because I was trying to impress myself/surpass myself every month. But since 2 years ago, I have been training for longevity/lowering pains and relative strength.

I am writing this as pain/this incident actually developed my body, the need for a stronger back to not feel pains and be able to lift and move free.

My recovery story is not particularly glorious because it is entirely my fault. I began lifting heavy weights last year (170kg squat and 200kg deadlift), and my body was simply not prepared. Just four months prior, the heaviest I had ever squatted was 80kg. This rapid increase, coupled with the fact that I never used a belt or any support, caused my pelvic floor to twist.

Now, I am undergoing physiotherapy and focusing more on functional training, incorporating activities like pull-ups, runs, sprints, box jumps, etc. It has been enjoyable, but I miss lifting heavy.

I injured my left wrist bench pressing double the amount of weights I used to. 3 months later, left the gym, and that wrist still hurts. Will go to a doctor in early January (The doctor's place is like 1 hour away, and I've been distracted in other things lately, which I'll update in my progress thread soon)

Still haven't bounced back up yet, but I know for a fact I will.
