Hey all,
Im going to be using this thread in order to keep track of my fitness progress as well as hold myself accountable.
Starting out:
154lbs (morning), 157lbs (night)
34-29-43 (chest, waist, hip, in inches)
Current: 149.4bs (morning) 150.8lbs (night)
My short term goal: 145lbs GOT IT Getting back to it...
My next goal: 140lbs
My measurement goal: 33-27-41
I plan on uploading a photo as well as a update on my weight every Monday. whenever I feel like Ive made progress
Through college I capped out at 145lbs. I was engaged and LOVED fitness. I was power lifting with my fiancee (deadlifting 195lbs, never beat 200 sad ). Before the wedding I got down to 135lbs and felt great about it by eating 1200cal a day and doing cardio 4 days a week, weight lifting 3 days a week.
Then about a month before the wedding.. we broke up. OOPS. In sadness I reached out to my friends and of course "let me buy you a beer" or "lets go out to dinner" were my responses. I LOVE food and I LOVE drinking (duh) and I got back up to 145. I also got a pretty painful foot injury in January so I cant run anymore. Then I started a desk job. I no longer had access to a gym, I wasnt walking 3-4 miles a day like in college. And here i am at 154lbs.
its been almost a year, and Im ready to get back on track. Its not like I dont workout, but its not like its my routine either. AS OF NOW my plan is to try and be active for a minimum of 20 min a day after work, hopefully upwards of 30-45. I plan on jumping around between strict cardio, long walks, kayaking, weight lifting (my new apartment has a gym!) and yoga, with my greatest emphasis on cardio. For example, I did 2 cardio/HIIT workout videos this weekend, and today I took a 25 min walk and 10 minutes of gentle yoga stretches. Im on a fairly high-protein diet (Doctors orders) and plan on eating 1200-1400cal a day.
Lately Ive been hitting the weight room. My foot started feeling better so I got up to jogging a full mile... and then my knee started acting up. Ah well! Emphasis on eating healthier and getting muscle, I suppose.
I dont expect to see results in the first two weeks, and its easy to get discouraged, so I was hoping you guys could help keep me motivated! Lets get this chubby butt back in shape. Also feel free to share your workout plans and any tips! Ive got my diet covered, but Im always looking for new ideas for workouts.
