The Pursuit of Contentment.

Welcome to my blog!

I'm a regular (albeit sometimes crazy), obese, 19 year old guy, from Melbourne, Australia.

This is my progress to becoming a happier person.

My goal of losing weight will be a major part of this, but I'll also be writing a lot of personal posts to get a lot off my chest.
Loneliness.

I feel ridiculously alone.

People everywhere around me - my closest friends that i’ve known for years, my more recent friends, my family - seem to be abandoning me, and i’m bewildered by it, to be honest. Sure, I’ve turned down a few invites, because I haven’t been feeling well mentally, but normally that wouldn’t translate to abandonment…
I usually still get invited out (though sometimes you can tell they’re not very sincere), but now i’m getting completely blindsided and blatantly ignored.

I have no clue what to make of this all, but I sure as hell know that its affecting me, and my depression is coming back.

Now I can’t sleep, and have been rolling around in bed for ages trying to get tired, but I can’t take my mind off it. The only people i’m comfortable talking to properly are either sleeping, or people who’ve partly caused this issue, and i’m feeling properly terrible.

Hmm.

Progress!

After feeling like I was getting nowhere, I jumped on the scales this morning…
Aaaaand it read ‘222.8’.
Oooooh… progress!

So my exercise looks like it’s been helping, as well as counting my calories (although I’ve been a little over for pretty much every day over the last week).

Nonetheless, I’m happy with where I’m at now, and the track that I’m on.

Pow.

Week recap.

Been a pretty bad week of eating, especially after a great week last week.

I’ve been over my calorie targets for most days, and have slackened off in my exercise a bit.

Tomorrow, reset.
Time to get cracking.

Male Fitspo blogs!

peacefulserenityxhealthylife:

I’m looking for a little male perspective towards health and fitness. Reblog this post so I can find you and follow your journey, whether that be weight loss, maintaining or body building. Thanks guys!

Water is the world’s greatest thing.

I think I’ve drank something like six or seven bottles already today, and I’m about to have another.

This stuff is amazing - it makes everything better.

#water #fitness
Need to follow more guys!

Title says it all, haha.

I can easily find fitblr/fitspo/weight-loss blogs by girls and women, but I need more guys to follow!
The ratio I follow is like 10:1! 

Anyone have any links?

Hmm… Bad day.

Sausage roll for lunch.
Pizza for dinner.

Pretty sure I’m way over my calories (though I can’t measure these things, considering there’s no nutritional info)…

Gotta hit the treadmill to burn it all off, but I really can’t be bothered!
Sitting inside, heater on, tunes going, it’s so nice and comfortable here!

Gahh! Willpower, willpower!

I NEED MORE AUSSIES TO FOLLOW! REBLOG IF YOU’RE AN AUSSIE SO I CAN FOLLOW YOU!

(via healthy-forlife)

diminishingovertime: well done on the 5km. And that isn't a shabby time either. But working on better time, good luck with that, you can do it.

Thanks.
Yeah, I feel fine after, so I’m confident I can improve on it!

So, in preparation for the Run that I’m doing, I decided to give the treadmill a quick go, and do the first item of the training program (4x (4min jog/2min walk) = 24 minutes).I was feeling good as I went, so I thought that I may as well continue until I could no longer.And what do you know it, I finished the whole 5km! (Albeit very slowly…)So there we go, I know I can run the distance, I just need to work on my fitness to help me do it quicker, and in different conditions (this is was in my garage, on a treadmill, as opposed to outdoors on different road conditions). Onwards and upwards!
