2010 Summer Slim Down

Morning Weigh-In = 216.0 LBS
Alas, it has been more than a month since my last post- As a commenter correctly reprimanded, the relevance of a blog lies in its regular postings, allowing for both transparency and accountability. I wholeheartedly agree, and will thus be posting from 3-5 times per week as to my diet and training. I weighed in as low as 211.4 lbs last Friday of 5/22, but after a week of sinful and overindulgent eating, have gained several pounds of fat and water weight. The time has arrived for strict adherence:

September 1st, 2010 Goal Weight = 200.0 LBS
Assuming that I have an easy 3 lbs of water weight that I can lose through strict adherence, I have approximately 13 pounds of fat that I need to lose in about 13 weeks. I will be eating daily in the range of 1,800-2,200 calories, with no more than 100 daily grams of CHO, and at least 120 grams of protein per day. The exception will lie in the 1-2 weekly fasts that I undertake, in which I eat nothing until dinner, whereby I then will consume a normal sized dinner. I will also strategize my weekends (i.e. eat lighter if anticipating a night out, and staying strictly to spirits versus beer) to balance my social life to allow me to reach my transformation goals.

Training will consist of strength training workouts 3-4 times per week, including 1-2 hours of low level cardio training per week, along with 1 HIIT style interval workout.

Stay Tuned...
