Haven't posted in here before, but thought I would start as I am trying to get back into regular gym exercise.
Really struggling with motivation, as recently had twins and between them, work and really poor nights of sleep (average around 5hrs per night of broken interrupted sleep) not enjoying my gym sessions as I have in the past, as I have very little energy.
To add further to my furstration, weight ballooned out 123 kg last Christmas, due to poor sleep, eating when I can, and cutting down on exercise due to lack of time and funds. Have managed to shave off 10kg since Christmas, but am further struggling with lack of energy.
So currently sitting at 6'3, 113kg, and looking at trimming another 10kg by the years end. My diet has improved, but still consume a lot of alcohol (Roughly 1.5 bottles of bourbon a week with some beer thrown inbetween) . In the process of cutting that down as well, but shit habits are hard to quit.
Aiming for four sessions at the gym per week, and I do cardio through basketball, netball and boxing througout the week. At the gym, I usually do Chest on one day, back on another, shoulders on the third and am currently not doing any legs due to my knee being the size of a watermellon due to injury. Chest I am ok at, with 1rp on bench sitting around 140kg. Not ideal, but it is ok for someone who before this averaged 1 session at the gym a week. Deadlifts have been largely ignored by me in the past, as I several incidents of bulging discs in my lower back. Have now eased back into it, having been relatively injury free since the birth of the kids 1.5 years ago. Currently doing three sessions of 100kg x 10 and will gradually increase that, and lower the reps. Legs I used to squat relatively lightely, 100kg x 10, and then superset that with 20 box jumps and no rest in between. Shoulders I am not that happy with, having dropped down to 32.5kg dumbell press and millitary pressing around 60kg.
Never really had any supplements, apart from occasionally buying protein, but after a tip from a friend, have started using oxyelite pro as a few days back to help cut more weight.
Suggestions are welcome.
