On July 18th I decided I was fed up with how I looked and how I felt. I was 185lbs at 5’8”.
Week 1: Ate 1500 calories a day, two soft boiled eggs in the morning with two slices of bacon or ham. Some sort of small snack or fruit for lunch. Then I was free to eat whatever for dinner (within reason, no fast food or anything.)
Week 2: Increased to 1850 calories a day as I began cycling an average of 15 miles a day. Some days it feels like I have cement shoes before I get on the bike but every time I do I feel great afterwards.
Week 3: Maintained the cycling and added 60 push ups a day. Sometimes I’m lazy and only do 30 but better than zero push ups
Week 4: Still maintaining the exercise but added walking 5 miles on my rest day from cycling. I did 105 miles during week 3 and on track to do the same this week.
As of August 18th I am 173lbs. I quickly noticed a ton of weight loss from my face and some slight weight loss from my body. It’s only been a month but I figure once I hit my target weight of 160lbs, I can reduce my routine to 4 days a week at the same intensity and hopefully stay there. The diet at this point feels second nature and I’m able to eat out with friends every so often or have a small desert without feeling guilty. I sleep better and feel better. I’m looking forward to how I’ll look even a month from now if I stay disciplined.
