*sigh* Back on the weight loss roller coaster… last summer I was down to 218, then let everything go to hell and ballooned back up. 242.4 last Monday. 238.6 on Saturday. Cheated pretty hard for Easter. 241.0 this morning.
This time around, I’m focusing on increasing protein. Still struggling to achieve 1g per lb of target weight, but my intake is definitely higher. Primary goal is sub-200lbs. Secondary goal is to be able to do a true pull up. Idk if I’ve ever been able to do that.
I’ll be weight training minimum 3x week, with some cardio mixed in periodically. Mostly trying to maintain muscle, but lose the fat via diet.
One full month in the books- sitting at 231.8, so 10.4lbs gone. Been lifting 4 days/week, and I’m noticing maybe a little growth in my chest and biceps. I’ve been doing assisted pull ups, and have been able to lower the assistance weight from 75 to 50lbs.
I know I’m still not getting enough protein, but in my case calorie deficit is more important. I’m eating twice a day, usually around 1pm and 7pm.
This weekend will not be helpful, since I’m staying with a friend and going to 2 baseball games, but I’m going to try not to go off the rails too badly.
