Had a bit of a shock this week. I knew that I out on a bit of weight and wanted to get rid of the belly now I'm back in the city. I bought a nice shiny new set of scales and when I hopped on, it showed I was 147kg.
I never thought I was that heavy! I knew I had a bit of a gut, but because I lift heavy, I thought a lot of the weight was muscle.
I've identified my snacking as a problem after tracking myself for a couple days, because my calories from meals is a solid 2200-2500, but when I add my evening snacking that can easily go up to 3500-4000 calories.
My diet is now focussed on being a high protein 2300 calorie diet, leaving a few calories from my weekly balance so I can still have a couple drinks with friends or a (healthier) snack when I watch my shows on a Saturday night. I've cut out fizzy drinks, and generally not consuming calories after 7pm, but will leave a protein shake until then if i've been a busy bee that day.
I know this ain't going to be a short affair, because my body sits nice between 105 and 95 kg with the lifting I do. But I hope to shift a lot of the weight by my birthday in march, and if I do, I will have earned the right to purchase my own kilt (gotta represent the homeland).
I got that shock on Monday, and the scale shows I've lost 1.8kg in my first week, but I'm willing to bet that's more water weight than anything.
Here's to the long journey! I'll be sure to give bi weekly updates on my weightloss and training!
Edit: Forgot to state my height, I'm 6'4"
