OK, so this is me as of now: 6'5", 224lbs. Like I said in my last post, I've got 40 days to lose 9lbs. Certainly not an impossible task. I've got just a few simple adjustments that I'm making to my lifestyle that should help this along nicely:
- Diet - Nothing ground-breaking, just the obvious stuff.
- Water - I barely drink any, so what I add will be a huge increase. I'm shooting for about 4 cupfuls a day at work, which should be right in that 64oz ballpark.
- Sodas - I drink way too many of these & need to cut back. There's no way I'm cutting them completely out (Mountain Dew is my lifeblood and there's no way you're taking my Jack & Coke away from me), but it's now just a reward: if I do well during the day, I get a small glass with dinner.
- Junk food - gone save for cheat days (which will prolly be Saturdays), and even then only in moderation. For awhile, I had been eating so clean that McDonald's tore me up something fierce because it was all just grease. Need to get back to that.
- Meals - Chicken, fish, turkey, whole grains, veggies. Lunch will be a little more difficult at work, so I may just resort to lunch meat sandwiches. Not the best, I know, but still a vast improvement over Five Guys/Wendys/Taco Bell/etc. Breakfast will be Honey Nut Cheerios & eggs instead of Bacon Egg Cheese Croisandwiches & a Dr. Pepper for BK.
- Exercise - Again, nothing shocking.
- Actually do something - That pretty much sums it up. I'm starting small for now: roll out of bed, do 10 push up, 10 burpees, 10 squats & ten [insert ab exercise here]. Also, we've put up a Total Gym pull-up bar in the doorway to the kitchen & the house rule is that you gotta pay a 2 pull-ups toll every time you go in. Should get me to at least 10 in a day.
