I started my weight loss journey back in late July. I was 252 Ib. I saw lifting in my garage and saw myself in the mirror side to side. Saw how fat I actually was and told myself hell no. Need to lose weight.
From August to November I lost 30 Ib. I was 222 Ib. I was consistent. But then my success got to me. And I started cheating. Went from cheating a day a week. Then 2 days. Then 3 days. Then half the week. I stayed at 222 Ib for the longest time. For a good 5 months I’d say.
I was 216 at the middle of May. Now I’m at 211.4 :) been more consistent lately.
However I haven’t lifted much this year. Barley at all.
I feel more motivated to do so. Just completed day 2 of PPL today.
However....
What do I do?
I’m 6’5, male, 211.4 Ib. Doing PPL so I should be lifting 5-6 days a week. I do 10 minutes of light cardio on treadmill (3.5 speed and 15 incline) both before and after my workout.
I still have a bit of belly. Not nearly as much as before, but there’s something there.
Continue cutting?
My plan is to get to 200 or 195 even and start bulking from there. Mean time I exercise so I doubt become a couch potatoe and work in my form.
Also, I don’t have much muscle. Like I said I’ve been consistent in lifting so far so I haven’t any gains whatsoever.
I shouldn’t mention I eat a bit dirty.... like I eat lots of fast food. Haha. Or try to go to Asian restaurants and get some chicken and salmon or something.
But say I go to McDonalds, instead of eating a quarter pounder with fries and coke, I just eat a the burger instead by itself. I mainly drink water only. May drink a glass of milk every now and then.
Or say I go to Chick Fil A. I’ll get some Double 12 piece nuggets, just themselves. No fries or anything. About 800 calories only.
