Thank god this day is finally here. This year has been one hell of a shitty one and I am glad it is over. COVID, surgery.... everything.
I have gained so much weight the past few years thanks to illness, medications, and surgery... and if I'm honest, my own fucked up tendency to overeat or binge-eat. Come tomorrow, it's time to change!
Starting 6AM in the morning, 1/1/21, I will be up and working out for 30 minutes at least. There will be no more "junk" food (candy, chips, bread, chocolate, crackers - carbs or processed sugars). I plan to be 95% vegan, which I am close to already. Lots of water (plain, seltzer, Zevia) and some coffee...
It's been a hard few years and I've dealt with things by overeating. Anxious? EAT. Bored? EAT. Feel bad? EAT. Stressed? EAT. Happy? EAT. But, as of tomorrow... NO MORE.
My starting weight is a horrific 220 (I assume. I haven't weighed myself since surgery back in October when I weighed 215 and I know I've gained weight since that time.
My goal weight is 135 with targets of 170 and 150 along the way. I'm hoping if I do it right I can begin to see measurable results in a month.
I am going to weigh and measure tomorrow and work out every week day (M-F) for a month tracking both diet and exercise here... and then weigh again 1/2/21~
Exercise and calorie goals:
Exercise - elliptical 30 minutes = approximately 400 calories.
Food - maximum 800 calories = (800-400 =) 400 daily intake = massive deficit.
Water - 1 liter.
