About me and my journey on fitness
By Joelani - 2:58 PM
In 2010 I went on a trip with colleagues from the job I had at that moment. I graduate the year before so it was my first professional experience. It was a lovely one, but along the way I let it control my energy levels. I became too lazy and stopped training. The results were too bad! And it was only during the trip that I realized it. Only after a colleague sent me some pictures of me at the pool that I said Sh**t who is this guy? But Hey what did I expect after a year of not going to gym and eating only junk food?

3 or 4 months after that I quit my job to pursue my studies as a software engineer. At the same time
I decided to start doing bodybuilding. I wanted muscles, abs, biceps...and to lose fat, all at the same
time. Well, after 2 months I knew I needed more knowledge in this field, yet I had no idea how to get it.
But you know when you want something so bad, the universe will conspire to get you that! The first
year back to studies I met someone who not only became a best friend, but also became a coach
and initiated me to almost everything I know now about fitness. I followed his program for the next 6
months, and the results were pretty amazing! I lost 20 pounds of fat! The one part that was lacking at
moment was nutrition. Well! I was a student and I was broke, so I couldn’t afford rice and chicken all
the days. It was all good and the training was great, the results were slow but they were enjoyable.

UNTIL a bad thing happened! Something very BAD really! Ok it is just a joke, not that bad. I just
decided to have a “Break” from the gym and guess what happened? I became what we call skinny-fat.
You know! Skinny is bad, fat is also bad, but skinny-fat is very very very bad! So I went back to
the gym, started training again, eating healthy and adopting a better lifestyle. I lost weight, I gained
muscles and started enjoying looking at myself in the mirror.

UNTIL a bad thing happened! I think you know what is coming next...I didn’t this every year for 6
years, from 2011 to 2017. Every year, I’m fat, I hate my body so I start training and eating healthy
until I get decent results, then I stop and I go back to point zero! I did it over and over and
everytime I had a “real and solid” reason.
