Reboot 2017

I am back at it! Took a little break around the holidays and it shows! I was down to 210 before Thanksgiving. Right now I am at almost 220! The big meals and cookies/treats are past us now! So time for a reboot! 

I will be getting back into my intermittent fasting routine as well as adjusting my water intake(Soda did creep back in during the holiday!). An added bonus is that some people in my neighborhood are doing a weightloss challenge! Of course I signed up! It’s a couples competition so my wife will be joining me. I am a littttle bit competitive so this should help out a lot!

The one thing that is lacking right now is the physical activity. When I started the weather was nice enough to still get outside a lot. Now a little colder and I’m finding it harder to get my steps in. I’m thinking about joining a cheap gym by my office and getting in some quick workouts before work. I also have a total gym Chuck Norris thingy in the garage! I am going to bring that up into the bedroom for some evening workouts. 

Well hope you all made it through the holidays without too much set back. Back to the grind! 

Week 4 Weigh In

Results are in! I am down 3 pounds this week! I’m pretty happy with those results. Being that I had a tweaked back pretty much all week and physical activity was slim. I was able to get my Sunday night soccer game in!

Only big obstacle last week was a Friendsgiving dinner on Wednesday night. I ate a good portion but didn’t over do it. I also opted out of dessert! 

Starting Thursday I implemented intermittent fasting. I did my research online. Reading and watching videos on it. The science behind it really made sense to me. You have to get your body to tap into your stored fat. So basically I fast for 16 hours and then I have an 8 hour eating window to consume my daily calories. While still having a caloric deficit for the day. We will see how it goes from here. 

This week I am going to aim for losing 4 pounds. My back is much better so I will be able to increase my activity. 2.5 weeks until Thanksgiving! I’m hoping to be around 205 by thanksgiving. As I’m sure I’ll have a minor setback then! Haha! 

Hope you all are reaching your goals and staying on track! Feel free to share your progress!
