3 Weeks Finished

It's been more than 20 days at gym and thankfully I am safe and alive. My type - 1 is not stable these days and I am trying to bring it under control while keeping my kidneys safe. Kidneys are hurting and my focus is on curing them while also continuing my weight loss journey. 

Most boys in the gym are friendly with me. I go regularly in the evenings even the gym owners are friendly so far I know it's all show but yeah they are not giving me stress. 

I am also creating a deficit in diet and by workout. 

I spend almost an hour and half in the gym burning calories. I can feel better alertness and stregnth in my body. My next target is muscle building and refining my workout methods. 

This is my dinner everyday. Soya chunks boiled then fried in ghee with onion, tomato and some spices of my choice and a little bit of soya sauce for flavour. 

This is high in protein, less in calouries and rich in healthy fatty acids from ghee. Make sure you boil and wash properly, soya chunks are often dirty so boil at least 10 minutes to be on the safer side. 

1 kg soya chunks last me more than 20 days. Combine it with lentils for a complete protein diet.

I ate gobhi ke paranthe made in ghee because I burn more than I eat so occasionally home made meals like these are fine while weight loss and they also keep cravings away. 

This is the dumbell rack, when I first went I used 2.5 kg and now I use 5 kgs and I can feel the difference but still I need a proper method, currently I only train major muscle groups and burn calories but after loosing some weight I will make it a muscle buidling session with high protein diets and proper training.

2 Weeks passed: It's more dangerous than it feels

Two week ago I started going to Gym to get inspired with other fit people and to lose fat. Everything is fine but...

Things that can instantly make my life worse

I go in evenings as it is suitable for me but in winter night is long so when I return even after 30 minutes in gym it gets very dark and the roads are filled with speeding cars, man eating dogs who have attacked hundreds of people, dangerous people who try to rob you in the way. This is a small tow   n crime is a normal happening. But good thing is dangerous people have nothing against me.

I am also pretty dangerous when it comes to survival. I don't fear wild dogs or criminals. They cannot stop me. 

view inside gym

I do stretching and warm up before using dumbells and machines. I use very lightweight equipments.

I am the weakest guy there.

Look at me. I look ugly. 

I am trying to eat clean daily and consume fiberous fruits too. Although I am feeling two big issues after week 1 at the gym.

Pressure around anus which can lead to piles and my left knee is strained from excercise and heavy cycling. Can't take a knee injury so I am taking some days off. 

This type of food I am eating... tastes so good

I use cycle for commuting and it gets pretty dark when I come back. 

I have added lights in my cycle 

My kidney is also hurting very badly. May be stones. I am taking meds for stones and infection. In few days if situation will not improve I will go for blood tests and ultrasounds as we are really short on money and only with healthy kindneys I can consume protein. 

I hoping kidneys, knees and other issues resolve so I can go back to gym. I always knew it will not be safe for me. I just have to avoid injuries and other complications and I will be fine. 

My first day at local gym (Weight 85.15kg)

wow just look at my smile...

I am not someone who is chill going outside or interacting with people. I have never felt okay inside my mind since childhood. I could not have taken this step but I have no other option. My health is detereorating very quickly. 

Thanks to all the works of great men and women which I have read till now which have helped me free myself from my weaknesses and sorrows. I could not have gathered the inner strength to go to a gym or take any action to improve my life if I have never learned about greatest minds of human history. 

In my local area gym is not really a safe place. On the first day three stronger guys laughed on me and made fun of me when I asked them about how to workout with dumbells. Even local gangsters and all sorts of psychopaths can be found at my local gym and similarly at most gyms in India. But the good thing is the manager is a nice guy and he instantly understood me and helped me with machines as there are no trainers. 

Apart from gangsters the gym is also not a great place for workout as gyms are not regulated and don't have any standards for safety so you can get injured and will have to suffer with pain for the rest of your life. 

Still my life in a small village was becoming stagnant and I had to put myself outside of my comfort zone.

So, first day at gym is itself an achievement for myself. 

So, today I would like to add current weight and picture for progress tracking purposes.

My weight is 85.15 kg on 4 December 2025. My height is 5.6 ft

I do not look great at all. Can't take this anymore, enough is enough.

my visceral and chest fat is making me sick. I can't even wear tshirts in peace. 

So the first day was great by the grace of Bajrangbali ❤️ and I hope to see progress in my body as I burn more and more calories. I will write weakly on this blog about my experience, diet and workout. 

I am lifting 2.5 kg dumbells.

I was training with 2.5 kg dumbells and other guys were staring at me as they don't know about my type-1 diabetes and it was not a great experience when you are being judged and couldn't even explain yourself as no one will understand. Still you can see the glow on my face. 

Here's Shivam, he now works at a bank in Varanasi but he was home in holiday so I took him with me as he also have never been to gym. He lost his father a few years back and as being the eldest son in the family all the financial load landed on his shoulders. His younger brother is slowly loosing his eyesight and his mother stays sick most of the time. 

So, this was my first day and it was not as bad as I expected. I just hope the upcoming days help me become my best self.
