I'm a single guy in my late 20's. I'm really out of shape and suffering from a bunch of health issues. I realize I need to focus on getting fit now, otherwise things are going to get worse as I get older.
My diet isn't terrible, but is a bit carb heavy with no calorie tracking.
Current stats:
5'5" tall
Weighing 222 lbs
35% + body fat probably
Poor cardio fitness with a VO2 Max value under 26.
High resting heart rate (80-90+ BPM on average)
Averaging around 5-6 hours of sleep daily
I use a cpap machine for sleep apnea
I have a very sedentary lifestyle currently, walking up and down the stairs leaves me out of breath. My feet, my knees also hurt a shit ton, standing in place for a long period of time is impossible.
I also suffer from some health issues -
I've got essential hypertension and have been prescribed medication. Everything else looks ok, but I'm about to have my annual check up next week so who knows.
My fitness goals are to:
Track calories to keep to a goal
Lose weight
Get my blood pressure down
My issue is that I'm just plain tired all the time, and any amount of exercise seems to tire me out quickly and completely. Any suggestions on this front would be great.
My thought is I'll stick to walking and cutting my calories down to 1976 kcals a day, to see if I see any weight loss (based on a weight loss calculator)
But I'm kind of scared that even with that my sleep apnea will hinder my progress.
Am I fucked? Is it too late? Either way I'll try my best since I now realize how serious my situation is.
