Ok. So I have let myself go completely and am tired of feeling fat and worn out all the time. I'm going to use this space as a diary of sorts. I welcome encouragement and constructive criticism.
I am trying to keep my approach simple:
Food: Eat more unprocessed home cooked meals. Lower carbs eat more protein and moderate fats.
Exercise: Move more. Various activities for cardio, stretching and strength training.
Tools I am using: I am using Weight Watchers for tracking and recipes and all things dietary
for Workouts using the Peloton app for cardio and strength and stretching workouts. Will be adding walking and running.
Goals: Generally fit. I want to work my way to running a 5k most mornings and 10k's regularly in my workouts. Wanting to be able to pretty much participate in a half-marathon with about a couple month's preparation.
Want to get back down around 200 lbs and be in the 15-18% body fat.
Where I am currently: 43 yo. 6'00" male 282 pounds as of this morning. Body fat % ~28-30% Sedentary work from home life.
Plan on weighing in each Monday. Hoping that keeps me more focused on weekends.
Today's food:
Breakfast: 2 eggs, 2 slices of bacon 2 cups of coffee
Morning snack: Banana, and cashews
Lunch: Leftover grilled salmon and minute rice cup.
Afternoon Snack: 1 oz cheddar cheese, 2 beef sticks
4 olives, handful of grapes. Cup of coffee
Supper: Steak kabobs and field greens with Italian dressing
Today's activity: 20 minute spin class
