Calories out - 4900
Steps - 9800
Eating 1100 calories a day sounds ridiculous, but its possible. I started out with eggs in the morning, tuna or chicken breast during the day, and protein shakes throughout the day to curb hunger. After a month, my energy tanked, and I needed to add carbs. I added a few sandwiches throughout the day with ALDI low carb wheat bread and grilled chicken breast that I made in bulk.
Workout regime was religous. 4 days a week of weight training. Weeks alternated between 8, 10, 12, and 15 reps. Legs and back. Chest and tri's. Bi's and shoulders. Cardio 6 days a week, twice a day 3 days a week. Started out with 1 mile walking, am up to 2 miles at 5.5 on treadmill today.
I tailored my workouts based on my work schedule. I primarily did cardio at 6:30 AM, showered, went to work, and did weight training in the evening. Switched up weight training to 5:30 AM for a few weeks to fit work schedule and did cardio in the evening.
I hit a huge plateau about a month in due to sodium. I was running a daily caloric deficit of 3500 per day and still not losing weight. I was using lean turkey lunch meat and it made me hold in so much water due to the sodium content. I switched to grilling my own chicken without salt and I started losing again almost instantly.
If anyone is interested I can upload the 4 months of daily workouts, I have a notebook with each days workout with amount of reps and weight for each exercise. I did use the help of a personal trainer, and I don't think I could have done this without him. If you have the means to hire someone to help you, do it. If anyone is curious, the cost was $300 bi-weekly. I was spending more than that on trash food and bar tabs, so for me, it wasn't a big deal. If you can't afford someone like this, feel free to PM me and I will share a detailed workout regimine that is easy to follow and will get you started.
For me, the biggest takeaway from this was the importance of having the right head space. This shit is 99% mental. If you commit, form new habits, and dive in head first, anyone can do it.
Anyways, that's it. This is how I went from really, really, really fucking fat, to like, eh, he's fat.
