233.4 Medium Term Goal announcement!
God knows i'm not perfect. Went up a few pounds from week on vacation and water gain. I'm not worried, because I'm back on the wagon. Never fell off, just was walking and stumbling besides it, but I had a hand on the darn thing.
I'm sorta happy with where I am because of where I'm heading. In a nut shell, I'm happy to take this weight loss, scratch that, FAT loss slow. Less then 1% weekly of my body mass. i just don't want to lose muscle. I work to hard as a 44 year old guy to make the muscle. just increased my workouts to 4 times weekly and split my workout between upper body and lower body with back. increased my sets to 5 from 3 and slowed down my movements and improved my squat form and decreased my rest period to 45 seconds per set. My traps and calfs and quads are screaming! Feels GOOD.
I'm working on my goals and here is my newest. I am going to set a weight goal of 199.9 by October 30th. My 45th birthday. That's just around 1.5 pounds weekly. My daily goals are working out 4x weekly and eating right. My goal after that is to get my fat% done and hit a realistic goal. (when I look ok in front of a mirror.) Man boobs are ok, if they are from MUSCLE, not fat :) Then build muscle when I'm at a good "weight". Start my smoking reduction program (gasp) and get our home saving finished so I can cut back on work a bit more.
I'm eating very little processed foods. My protein bars are the most common "food". But they're chocolate and 25 grams of protein and low on carbs. Like always, sorry for spelling and such. This is first and foremost for me. BTW, I do a personal journal. Have for decades. You could tell how well my latest "diet" was going by how long I wrote in the darn thing. Once I was off the wagon, it ended. This "diet" is for life. I can do it. I'm not hungry, i've chosen to like and love healthy foods and my wife, God bless her, is helping by cooking great choices for me.
She's happy with how I look now, but knows i'm doing this for me. I'm about 3/4 down. 100 pounds down and 34 to go. I get to 199 and my fat % is taken, we'll see where I need to go from there. My weakest point is cardio, but i might just start walking more. I have to sit for to long most working days as a truck driver.
