The last time I was in shape was my first month in university, and that was a long time ago. Today, I’m 5’9”, 248lbs and I’m tired of failing at getting in shape. I care more about getting in good enough shape to feel good in my own body. Despite having had this goal for years, I’ve managed to finish two master’s degrees, but failed to reach a healthy BMI. I’m tired of failing and I’m ready to do what it takes to conquer this, my biggest, and deeply personal battle to gain back control over my life. For me, success means being finally comfortable to take my shirt of at the beach without feeling ashamed. Or taking a vacation I can fully enjoy, without feeling like “I’m still fat, only now somewhere different”. Goals without a plan are nothing more than wishful thinking, so here is my plan to reach my goal: 1- weigh in every day to increase awareness. I realize that weight will naturally fluctuate, but it will provide me with a way to see the consequences of my actions on a regular basis 2- drink only water during the work week 3- watch what I eat, CICO. 4- get 8 hours of sleep, or as close to it as I can. 5- remember that I don’t have to be perfect to get results, consistency is what I’m after.
If this sounds like it would help you too and you’re interested to be an accountability partner, please let me know.
For those of you who have done this journey, what tips and tricks do you have for a guy in my situation?
