So it's been almost 12 months since I've seriously trained. I'm not going to make any excuses. I did get sick for about a month but after that I really struggled to get back into my routine of training.
I've found if I miss just a single workout I notice a small drop in motivation and the habit of training. Miss a few in a row and its all over. When I tried to train after having a week or two off I started getting really sore again after workouts and I kept coming up with excuses on why I was too busy to train.
So now I find myself back at square one. After only 12 months of not training and watching what I eat I'm 74kg, ~20% body fat (guesstimate) and as strong as a 12 year old girl.
I think I need to commit to a goal to stay motivated so I'm going to make one right now. There's a Novice Push/Pull (Bench/Deadlift) Powerlifting Competition at a gym not far from me on February 14th 2016. That's exactly 13 weeks and 6 days away.
My goal is to get to 68kg, so drop about 0.5kg/week while also increasing my strength to something respectable. I'll post where I'm at strength wise later this week but it'll be borderline pathetic haha.
Anyways I'm a little excited, I've never had a home gym before so I'm getting everything setup. Picking up a cheap Power Cage today and just bought some Resistance Bands off Ebay for assisted pull-ups (too weak to do more than 6 lol)
