"We Are The New Vintage"
Gotta start somewhere...
I've always been the fat kid. When I was little, my mom was going through a stressful time in her life and I became her eating partner. Fast-forward 20 years and I'm not the fat kid anymore... I'm the fat guy.
F*** that.
So, with the help of Roxy, I've started counting calories using the Lose It! iPhone app. It's got me on 2,130 calories a day (amazing that to way an average amount one is supposed to eat an average amount of food, lol). I'm also doing cardio 3 times a week using the Couch to 5K app. It's interval training that ramps up every week with longer and longer bouts of running until at week 9 you run for 30 minutes straight. That's the theory anyway. I'm in pretty bad shape so it's going to take me longer than 9 weeks to get to that point, but dammit I will get there.
Not sure exactly what I weigh right now, but it's probably safe to say between 250-260... probably closer to the 260 side, if I'm gonna be perfectly frank.
My plan breaks down into three key rules:
1. Stay under calories, the goal is to have a couple hundred leftover at the end of the day.
2. Eat mindfully, make sure my calories are working for me. Does it have fiber? Is it protein? A fruit or veggie? If not then I probably don't need it. This means as little junk/fast food as possible and soda only on rare occasions.
3. Work out at least 3 times a week. Usually by running but also getting into the gym if I have the opportunity.
All my life I've dealt with being fat. For the first time I really have the drive to do something about it.
The ideal would be 170-180lb and athletic, but I'll settle for decently fit around 200...
Now it's time to catch some z's, I gotta run in the morning!
F*** that.
