This winter season was a killer. I packed on 5 pounds at
thanksgiving and it never left. Xmas came and the 5 pounds ended up
being thirteen. Add in new years festivities and I was nearly twenty
pounds larger and lets just say that I wasn't in that great of shape
initially. It seemed like a downhill slope and unless you are on skis,
that never feels great.
That was me, five years ago. Fat, weak and worn out. I recognized that I needed to do something concerning my weight yet I always found a "reason" not to. This time was different. I hit an all-time low with my body weight and with my body fat ratio. I was disgusted enough to make a change and decided that I would never be this fat and weak anymore. Believe me, this was an endeavor. I was the guy that owned all sort of workout DVD's, diet plans and supplements that always ended up with the same result-collecting dust bunnies on my shelf.
This time was going to be different.
I made myself stick to my diet and refused to miss out on a workout. I quit giving in to giving up and I buckled down about my health and wellness. Working out literally became a component of my life and now I don't know just what I would do without it. This is the vital component to making anything in your life work. You need to choose that you are going to do this... not "well, I'll give it a try".
So here is the way I removed 19 pounds in 3 weeks and afterwards carried on to take off 10 more pounds of fat and gained 14 pounds of muscle in 3 months. I began by getting rid of all the crap food I had in my home that was my "comfort food". I had a little bye-bye ceremony and out it went. Then I dusted off a workout program that I was able to do from my home - that way I had no excuse not be able to get to a health club. I followed a whole food diet that permitted me to eat 5 times a day with a day-to-day calorie intake of around 1700 calories and executed mainly body weight works out at a higher intensity level for half an hour every day for 5 days a week.
This is precisely just what it took to get me to my goal of shedding 30 pounds of weight and even more importantly, changing my body composition from 30% body fat ratio to 15%. I made use of a protein supplement daily as soon as I was 2 weeks into my training to make certain my body was getting enough and I used quite basic training devices like skipping ropes and pushup stands.
I wanted to make certain that there were not any added challenges in my way so that I had no excuses for not getting my workouts done. This helped me get going yet the fact is that without the drive and outright commitment to attaining this goal - It would certainly not have happened.
