About a year and a half ago, I finally told myself enough was enough with feeling uncomfortable with myself, hating how I looked, and letting my weight get in the way of things I legitimately enjoyed in my life.
After some brutal reality checks — not being able to button that grey jacket, being asked to sit in the modified section of rides at Universal Studios, actively avoiding people I grew up with so they wouldn’t be able to see how big I had gotten — I finally reached out for help on how to fix this situation.
Well. It worked.
I set out with a goal to lose 100lbs - to go from 295 to 195 - and as of this weekend, I have succeeded in that goal!
I wasn’t perfect, I messed up all the time and I certainly didn’t always want to go to the gym at 8am in the morning when it was raining outside. I learned over the course of my journey that consistency > perfection when it comes to weight loss.
My small bumps in the road did not destroy everything… I just kept going.
I am so happy, and so damn proud of myself for doing this.
What I did:
- Calorie deficit, with an emphasis on protein
- Weight Training 5x a Week
- HIIT Cardio 2x a Week
- One Cheat Meal a Week (heavily subscribe this)
What’s next
- Maintenance for a bit. Give my body a break from such a long cut
- Continue 5x Days of Lifting
- Find cardio I actually like
- Hit another cut in a few months to get down to 175ish
